The story in the News is as follows: "The White House is receiving hundreds of telegrams asking why the government’s so-called Christmas gift to war veterans and their widows was not handed out according to schedule. The gift in question is the Burson pension bill which has passed both senate and house and which wad to have been signed by the president last Saturday. "After arrangements had been made for signing the bill in the presence of a company of beneficiaries under ( the law, President Harding's attention was called to the fact that the bill had not bee n referred to the secretary of the interior in accordance with a long standing rule that any legislation relating to a department’s work shkll | be referred to the head of that department before the president has seen it. Ordered Sent To Fall ‘ The president canceled the arrangements that had been made for signing and ordered the bill sent to Secretary Fall of tljg interior depart ment, the department to which the bureau of pensions is attached. On account of Sunday and Christmas in tervening the bill did not reach the office of the secretary of the interior until Tuesday. "Qn reaching that office it was referred to the commissioner of pensions, who is still examining it. 'I he president lias until January 4 to sign the bill or to permit it to become c law without his signature. One Objection Raised “Tile one objection raised to the bill since it went through the two houses of the congress is that it increases tile pension rate of widows from S3O to SSO a month regardless of age. As originally introduced an age limit wun fixed. “It is asserted that the legislation in the form in which It is to be passed on by the president will take out of the treasury about $65,000,000 over and above the amount which it would have taken mil as it,originally stood. The friends of the bill in the con grass'ar*i somewhat nervcals over tltci sithatiofa. but there has been no intimation from the White House that the president is thinking of vetoing the bill.” — —j- — BruAil—Justice of tile peace George Law reported a record breaking Xmas matrimony business with fifteen marriages in throe days, _ fi
