No matter. '~ The smoke had hardly blown away from Appomatox before’ the first pension bill was enacted into law—the first “easy money” weit to those’ex-soldiers. Surely it was‘‘nice and comfortable” and it .had come without half trying. Therefore, why not do-it again?. “The country owes it to us,” said they. “‘The gov’m’nt is rich—why should we not be taken care of—didn’t we save the Union? Can we be paid for that? No, sir; not if we had all the money in the U. 8. treasury!”. So.they went after it: again, and yet again—under the guidance and tutilage of shrewd poli- ticians who made each additional pension - law ‘a means of securing office and of feathering their own nests through ‘“getting the soldier vote.” . This sort of thing' went on continu- | ally, until even in the days of Benny Harrison, more than thirty years after the war was won, private pension bills absorbed more presidential- energy than any other class of legislation. Real patriots among the G. A, R.— and there were plenty of them—hung their heads in shame as they came to realize that the order, organized, so spirit of patriotic - self-sacrifice, had become a by-word and a hissing or- ganization . which had -.degenerated into a. group -of . mendicants and| grafters on the government. The G. A R. was a grand and noble organization in the main. Most of its members ‘were . true Americans. sion scandals were misled and did not only to the country, but :to: them- selves, of the .successive raids they made on ihe treasury. But it: was most far-reaching and disastrous con- sequences; for on the altar of easy- money they had immolated their own fine character. Glance, Now, Into the Future, When those young members of the G. A. R. asked, with seemingly un- _answerable finality: “Can we be paid}. for that?”’ and made the -first raid on. the treasury, they missed the cor- rect answer.. They should have: said: “No; money cannot repay us. We are well repaid now in the . only adequate currency, the consciousness of priceless service rendered.” Then had they gone their way to carve out their own futures by force of an un- sullied record, they would have pre- glorious tradi- tions. .Yet, even so, they had more justification~ for their actions .than have the service boys of 1920. For in, 1865 -there: was no 'liberal insur- ance provision such.as obtains today. But. the price they paid in character, in becoming - sniveling mendicants, bartering their, independence for \a few monthly dollars from their coun- try, was, except in the cases of dis- ibility which ‘always justifies the ac- ceptance ‘of the most liberal aid, the country can give a man, too high a price to pay. g This thought .is gaining. lodgment in the minds of many members of the || American Legion—young" patriots || who have not yet forgotten the high purpose with which = they bound themselves together ‘to put some- thing into the government.” = The thought is instinctive in most cases— just the straight-thinking impulse of the practical idealism of unspoiled young Americans. May it not be worth while to note in the light of history so recent as to be within the] memories of -men still young that the /instinct is true and their repug- nance to any idea of payment for their devotion to their country is solidly’ founded on' the immutable laws of humanity? To provide the bonus would cost the taxpayers—including the soldiers themselves—an immense amount ‘of money—money which can ill be gath- ered and paid at this time or in the immediate future, but it would cost the recipients infinitely more.
