The bill proceeds upon the theory that there are many soldiers and sailors who did not contract disabilities during the war of such a well defined nature as to enable them to make proof thereof, but who are now broken down in health by reason of the hard- ships and exposures of the service. The highest rate pension granted is $24. The bill increases to $12 the pensions of all widows whose husbands contracted disability in and since the war and who are now drawing $8, also the pensions to soldiers’ widows to be pensioned un- der the first section, and those who shall obtain pension under the existing laws, without a widow being required to prove that death was due tothe service. It does not grant pension to all widows but only to those who are or become pAnsions, The bill is the result of a demand which the government under the existing laws is unable to meet.
