Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hearings Before the Subcommittee of the House Committee on Appropriations: Consisting of Messers, Gardner, Brownlow, Keifer, Sullivan, and Livingston, in Charge of Pension Appropriation Bill for 1907 Once in a while pensioners will send back money they have drawn that they say they are not entitled to. In one case a man sent back $1,900. He sent me two drafts, and instead of getting them payable to himself at the same bank and indorsing them to my order, he got one at one bank and one at another, payable to myself individually. He was one of Mr. Capron's constituents. He said he was not entitled to it, and he gave it up. Mr. Gardner. Do you know the net decrease in the last three months? Mr. Warner. Do you mean pensioners or money? Mr. Gardner. I mean the number of pensioners. Mr. Thompson. There are 993,571 pensioners at the present time. That is according to the latest statistics we have. On June 30, 1905, there were 998,441 pensioners. In January a year ago the roll was 10,000 greater than it is now. Mr. Keifer. Give me that year exactly again. Mr. Thompson. There were 1,004,196 pensioners on January 31, 1905, to be accurate. That was the high-water mark. Mr. Gardner. I notice under Exhibit No.7, on page 9 of your annual report, Mr. Commissioner, that there was a decrease of 21/2 million dollars, in round numbers, for pensions under the general law on account of disabilities contracted in the line of duty in the civil war. I notice also that under Exhibit 8, on the same page, there is shown an increase for 1905 of $2,374,000 for pensions under the act of June 27, 1890, as compared with the preceding year, 1904. Then under Exhibit 9, on page 9, there is shown an increase of about $300,000 for 1905 over 1904 for pensions on account of service in the war with Spain and the insurrection in the Philippine Islands. Mr. Warner. I do not understand the first part of your question, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Gardner. The decrease under the general law is 21/2 million dollars, in round numbers. That is on page 9 of your report, Exhibit 7, near the top. Mr. Warner. That is the statement of the amount paid. The total amount was$58, 118,745.60, as against $61,595,498.33, a decrease of $2,476,752.73. That is under the general law. Mr. Gardner. The decrease there is 21/2 millions, in round numbers? Mr. Warner. Yes, sir. Mr. Gardner. In Exhibit 8 the increase is 21/2 million dollars. It practically offsets the other. Now, in Exhibit 9, the increase under the Philippine and Spanish war is over $400,000 Mr. Sullivan. $300,000 Mr. Gardner. That is right, $300,000 - so that the net increase last year is some $200,000 or $300,000, taking the net value of the pensions. What is the probability of that ratio keeping up for any length of time? Mr. Warner. My impression is that it will go down. What is yours, Mr. Thompson? Mr. Thompson. I think so, too. Mr. Gardner. The increase under the Spanish-American war and the Philippine insurrection pensioners more than makes up the loss from the invalids and general-law pensioners and the 1890 pensioners from the civil war?
