HOW PENSIONS ARE SPREAD
Twenty-three and seven-tenths of the four billion
dollar budget is involved in the Veterans administra
tion, carrying $920,000,000. .
Of this sum $376,000,000 goes for pensions of the
war of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, pensions
of the regular army and navy, and compensations and
benefits for deaths and disabilities incurred in the line
of duty in the Spanish-American War and World War. .
The sum of 8100,000,000 is a reserve fund for bonus loans.
Widows of veterans of a war fought 120 years ago
are still on the pension roll, and, it has been pointed out
by those familiar with Washington, that army and navy
officers who retired at the age of 49 and 50 are still on
the pension rolls involving millions in disbursements,
while thev hold lucrative positions. Four million dollars1
goes to retired emergency officers who served less than
six months and suffered no disability. The sum of $452,
000,000 is being paid in hospitalization and disability al
lowances for ailments which have no connection with
military service.
Between abolition of bureaus and ^he pension funds
is where President Roosevelt hopes to make his greatest
individual slash m the cost of government.

An aviator, arriving at the Seward base, was asked
whv he was late in completing his schedule.
‘ “Well, I had to go to Egegik, then I went to Ugashik,
from there I flew to Kuckuk, over the bay to Nushagak,
thru the air to Shageluk, back again to Quinhagak, up
the stream to Akuturak, over the hill to Kvichak, took a
fare to Kevipak, left the mail at Akrachuak, killed a dog
at Apokak, froze a toe at Kwinakamuk, grabbed a lunch
at Kosharik, took a nap at Togiak, was given nicknacks
at Naknek-”
“Here, somebody get a blanket and wrap this fellow7
up before he cracks his teeth shivering. When he thaws
out trv to find out where he’s been,” snorted Sourdough
Bill.
With Old America back on the front page and the
racketeers, gold diggers shoved over to the “Marriage,
Birth and Deaths” column, we appear to be getting
somewhere.

In acknowledgement of receipt
of an invitation to bring the his
torical ship Constitution on a visit
to Seward, L, J. Chilberg, secre
tary of the Chamber of Commerce,
is in receipt of the following let
: ter from Rear Admiral W. R. Sex
ton, acting chief of naval opera
tions:
Dear Sir: —
I beg leave to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of 14th of
February in which you request that
the Constitution visit Seward, Al
aska.
In reply, I regret to have to ad
vise you that the Navy Department,
after careful consideration of the
question, does not consider it
practicable to undertake such a
cruise.
The Constitution is without any
facilities for caring for the crew
on board when underway. There
is no power on the ship and very
limited facilities for cooking, etc.
for this reason the Navy Depart
ment is unwilling to undertake this
extended cruise with the Consti
tution, with the short lay-over in
Alaskan waters to break the strain
of the two long journeys going to
and returning from such a trip.
While it is true that the Constitu
tion has made long trips under
tow, it is a fact, nevertheless, that
upon arrival at the destination the
ship had extended lay-overs in
port.
I assure you that the Navy De
partment does appreciate the desire
of the citizens of Aalska to see and
visit this historic ship. And I as
sure you, furthermore, that it is
a matter of regret to the depart
ment that it does not consider it
practicable to include a visit to the
cities of Alaska in the itinerary of
the Constitution. •
