PENSION ACT SWAMPS BUREAU

Many Applications Received for Benefit of I,aw—Author Explains Method of Obtaining Relief. Washington, I). (’., September 22. —Already the pension bureau is receiving a flood of applications for pensions under the Ashbrook widows’ pension act, which was signed by the President a few minutes before the gavels fell for the close of the first session of the sixty-fourth congress. Many inquiries have come from Indiana. Representative William A. Ashbrook of Ohio, author of the law, is remaining here to render his aid in getting the administration of the law started along right lines and is assisting Ohio soldiers’ widows in securing pensions or increases under the new legislation,

The most widespread interest is being taken all over the country in the new law, for there is hardly a community anywhere that does not number among its citizens widows who will be affected by the law. “For the benefit of those who do not know how to proceed to secure pensions or increases under .its provisions,’’ said Representative Ashbrook, “I would state that those widwho already are on the pension rolls are not required to file applications, but to prove their age and their increases, when granted, will date from the passage of the bill, September 8,191 G. Proof of age usually can be obtained from a family bible or public record. If it should happen that no proof is available in the family or neighborhood, the applicant should furnish the name of father or mother and place where the family was residing in the year lS.")ft. This information will enable a search to be made of the records of the census bureau at

Washington and the densus of 1 850, which sets forth the names of heads of families and their children living in that year, nearly always can be depended upon to supply the needed information. , All widows who are not on the pension rolls, must make an original application on a blank which will he supplied by the pension bureau for that purpose. Another thing which it is important the widows should know is that they are not obliged to pay out considerable sums for attorneys’ fees. The law expressly forbids a pension agent or attorney from

charging a fee of any widow whose name is now on the rolls, but in the case of an original a fee of $lO may be charged. Widows in making original claims should bear in mind that they should hot in any case pay a greater fee than $lO. “The salient provisions of the law,” added Representative Ashbrook, ‘‘are these: All widows who married the soldier husbands prior to June 27, 1890, are entitled to pensions if the soldier served in any war of the country except the Spanish-American war. A bill to

take care of the Spanish-American war widows is pending but has not yet passed. The soldier must have served at least ninety days and received an honorable discharge. All widows under 70 years of age get sl2 a month and all oyer 70 get S2O a month. An important provision is that all war widows, regard less of their age, are to receive S2O a month. By the term war widows' is meant widows who were married -J to the soldiers during part or all of the period of their service. The bill restores the pensionable status to a widow who may have married again. For instance, a widow may have married two or more times after the death of her Soldier husband, but under this law she is entitled to a pension when She again reaches the state of widowhood. The widow who has been divorced front her soldier husband, under its provisions, is entitled to a pension when the divorce ; was not by any fault of her own."

DEAF MUTE HOME TO BE BUILT

Lafayette, September 22.—-Orson Archibald of Indianapolis, who is a deaf mute, three years ago proposed the building of a home for aged arid infirm mutes <v r Indiana and offered eighty acres of land north of this city as a site. The only condition imposed was that i.c. obtained by subscription, to be! ap;plied to. the building.

CAMPAIGN OPENS IN THIS CO.

(Continued from page one)

county commissioner from the second district, was next introduced. As he arose he was greeted with and cheers that easily told where he stood in the esteem of those present. After stating the importance of the state and national ticket, he came to the county ticket

and defined and explained the duties of each county officer. He justly placed upon the office of county commissioner the importance it deserves. After explaining that practically every cent of the county money that is paid out must pass through the hands of the board of commissioners, he pledged himself that if elected he would exert every effort within his command to see that the administration was an efficient and economical one. And the People believed him. Harry Gallagher, candidate for sheriff, was then introduced, and. disclaiming any proclivities as a speeehmaker, he said he was glad for the opportunity to meet fhem and would appreciate their support and pledged them an efficient and economical administration in the event he was elected. Mr. Zoercher was next introduced and in a very few minutes had the audience spellbound with his clear and concise statements concerning the state administration Not one word of defense did he have to offer, bat he devoted considerable time to refute and disprove the charzes of extravagance that have been made by opposing candidates. He had the figures to back up his statements and in several instance*cited where the same had been added in twice by the Republicans in their efforts to make it appear that the Democratic administration has been an extravagant one. But such tactics as these will not benefit the Republicans, for the people of Indiana are a prudent and conservative people and will give credit where credit is due. The rate of taxation has also been used by the Republicans as a campaign ii*sue. they claiming that great increases have been made therein. As a ,matter of fact the state tax has been reduced from 9 cents to 7 cents on the SIOO, while there have been increases in the benevolent institution tax, educational institution tax and vocational education tax, the latter being a new tax composed of 1 cen* on the SIOO. The other two increases are well understood by all. One was to provide more money that those less fortunate and afflicted might have better care and attention, and the other was to provide more money for our state schools that the students of Indiana might have as good instructors as there were in the land. Other states were paying more and in order to keep these efficient men Indiana had to | have more money. Does anyone begrudge this money that goes to the relief and treatment of our unfortunate, and for the better education of the coming generation cr tit s great state?

One thing which ?Ir. Zoercher dwelt upon at some was the unjust and unwarranted attack upon the management of the Indiaha boys' school at Plainfield by the Republican candidate for governor. The Indiana boys' school is a credit to the state and the pride of every Hoosier. I- has been brought on of the mire by a Democratic administration arid placed upon a base of efficiency and accomplishment. That m costs more to conduct this school today than it did- in 1910 no one will deny, for it is conducted along entirely different lines and the increased results are far in efeess of the in --ceased cos’. Bu- even so. the f o?t of conducting the boys' school where an average of .'rvg boys artclothed. fed, sent' to a graded school 'and also taught some useful trade | —ri p - 5 . not increased proportionate j • :h she increase in a!! commodities } lace .1 ** * •*. Another appreciable fact concerning the increase in the benevolent tax is that there are now nineteen institutions, whereas there were but thirteen in 1910, and the number of inmates has increased more than 3,000.

*Thursday Mr. Zoercher deßevered two more addresses— at Demotte at ® P- ni.. and at 8 p. rn. at Wheatfield. At each of these places he and his escorts were greeted tv satisfactory audiences and his campaign in Jasper county bore everv indication of being a most profitable one. Owing to the fact that three silos were being filled within a rad ius of one mile of Parr and every man was busy at this work, the afternoon meeting that was to have beep held at Parr was canceled. This was Mr. Zoerch»r's second appearance in Jasper county, where he js held in high esteem by aP who have-met him. And should he be able to return here at some later date he need have no fears of getting an audience to hear him. • ■! '
