July 2.—Confederate veterans and Confederate widows over 75 years of age will receive $25 per month pension, under the new pension law of this session of the legislature. Sen. Thomas B. Love, speaking on “personal privilege." urged the passage of his bill which will permit the pension fund borrowing money from the general revenue to pay the younger widows the same amount of pension. The money would be refunded out of late pension receipts, he pointed out. There are 4.500 widows who would be reduced from the former $19 a month to about $13 a month, Sen. Love said. Before'this legislature changed the pension law, all pensioners were re ceiving approximately $19 per month.. The regular session at tempted to raise the old soldiers to $50 a month, and to change the payments from quarterly to month ly. This was found to exhaust the fund and leave the widows with virtually no pension. Then the legislature changed the law to give the veterans and all widow’s over 75 years of age $25 per month, payable quarterly; the bal ance of the fund being divided among the younger widows. This, Senator Love said, will reduce them $13 a month. Senator Love’s bill passed unani mously in the senate ana w’as await ing committee action in the house in the final hours of the session.
