How th work Is don and whxt it mean is ex plained In Collier s by a member of the press gallery.

Over S.OW ek to stiTy claims growing out of the civil war and about 1.51b ly the foundation for future pension legislation through the .congres sional straightening out of crooked military records. In tlie plain English of the day, practically the whole li.OW are gTaft bills. In the senste, up to tb same date, there had been Introduced 4.4M bills, of which over I.2(J deal out gran directly In th form of pension. Beside these. 1.1 eS pro vide "relief' for somebody, "relief" usually meenlng money given In satisfaction of a claim coming under the class that ha been uniformly rejected by the court of rlaim. Over 2 prepare the way for later bills I giving pension. Thus about S. of the 4 M senste bills for the first two months cf the session are proposition to pay gov- j ernment money to constituents of the sen atota. All thi mean that more tlmn five-sixth of the buptnea of the bouse and more than four-fifths of the business of the sen ate Is not public, hut private legislation, and all aimed at the purchase of votes for th senator and representatives with public money- That, In a nutshell, i the meaning of the private bill graft thai is going on in Washington. It 1 conceivable, of course, that among this mass of bills there are some that are not without merit, but a very brief ex amination of the general pension last and the administration of the pension bureau will reveal a liberality on the part of the government in the granting of pension through the regular channel that compels a fcerloua question a to the necessity or Justification for all these Fpccial bills. General Peaslea Lasi. There are three general pension acts, with a host of amendment. The law of July It. UC2, and of March Si lfCX. provide for the granting of a pension to any soldier who Incurred a disability In th line of duty, and continue it to hi widow or minor children or hi dependent parents. Th only condition are that the 'orig inal pensioner must hav been a sol dier with a clean record, evidenced by an honorable discharge, and that the disability waa incident to the service. The act of Jsnuary ZT, 1KHU. known as the dependent pension law, provides for tbe granting of a pension to ary man who served ninety da in the srmy, navy or marine corps and was honorably dis charged, and who. by reason of any disa bilities of a permanent otiaracter, not due to vlcjou habits. een though not Incident in any way to the service, is Incapacitated from earning support by manual labor. Such penaion i continued to th widow or other dependent, regardless of the csuse of the original pensioner death. If the BVildler himself never applied for a p net on, his widow or minor children may ecur tt artcr hi death. Th numerous amendmcnta of the origl itai acta ail tend to extend the liberality of th government and to inrrrase th num ber of pensioners and the ease with which pensions may be obtained To secure a pension under ar.y one of these laws or amendment It 1 only necessary for a person legally entitled to be pensioned no make application on the prescribed form snd to comply with the not Irksome regu lation of the pension bureau regulation all designed to facilitate Just claim and to prevent the buccc of fraudulent one. The pension bureau 1 administered In a liberal way. which aim at carrying out tbe spirit of the law that a jieraon who ac tually performed military service for the government and is now disabled in any way should receive a pension. It ia from Die thousand of persons who cannot comply with the comparatively sim ple requirement of the law that tbe ap plications com which demand ejeclal leg islation. And out ol this possibility of spe cial pension legislation ha grown up a custom of congressional log-rolling which neither -publlr building nor river and har bor bill ever approached. Caltlvattag Twtrs. Every pension bill introduced in Con gress means vote for the man who Intro duced It. That Is the real reason it is in troduced. It means net only th vote of the hopefully expectsnt beneficiary him self, but the voter of all whom ht can In fluent). If the applicant is a woman. It means tbe vote of all the men she can claim as her friends. If any one doubu tlila, let him consult tb hill record at the capltol, and consider the diflerence in the number of pension bills Introduced by the member from s cloae Cietrict and those Introduced by tbe member who has no hard hgLt on for re-election. Tt.c more bills tbe more rotea. and the greater the need for votes tbe greater the number of bills. It 1 never difficult to find men or women willing to benefit by uch congressional liberality. The first thing that happens when a mas or woman gets tbe pension desired is an application to the pension bureau. When that ia rejected th next move is a re cuest to the congreasman from the dis trict to secure the passage of a private uui. ery on en it occur that the ap plication is rejected because the milllaiy record oa which it la baaed doee not fulf.ll th legal condition neueaaary to aeicur a pension. Not Infrequently the record how that Aha aoldier was a deserter. Bwm Umea It shows thst ha was convicted by court-martial and dismissed from the serv loa The defect of military record cover a conriderabi range, but tbey are ail subject to cong-resBional correction. lie, aertion and diahonorabl discbarge are not considered by congress as a legitimat bar ta th pension fold. These bills sent la nnder a wide variety of title: "To cor rect th military 10014." T remove th charg af desertion." ' X ranting as honor able discharge," "To raoognis th mili tary aerrioea." "To revoke sentewo of court-martial and establish th military racw," thee are a few sample.

Row the Bills Ca Tbroagh. At frequent Interval a day is set aside for the consideration of penmen bills. The house goes Into committee of the whole house on the sts'e of the union," and the bill are read, with the committee amend ment. The clerk gne through them with nstonishing rspidity. Nobody pays atten tion except two or three members of the committee. The few members scattered about the house are busy with their corre spondence, newspaper nr conversation. It ir not evei necessary thct a man shall look out to see hi own bill go through. He knows no one win object, and It Is all a matter of unanimous consent. Very few bill could pas on their merits if there were careful Investigation and considera tion, with the debate produced by any po litical measure, however trivial. But each man ha his pension or private claim bill to get through, democrat as well aa re publicans, and he keeps his hands off those of other so that they will keep their hands off his. Th clerk raoe through the bill and the committee amendment cutting down :he amount originally asked for, arid then the chairman says: "Without objection the amendment will be considered a agreed to and the bill rec ommended for passage. The chair hear no objection. Tbe clerk will read tbe next bill." Amaxing speed I secured by this method. On tbe first pension day in the house this session ltd! bill were put through the com mittee of the whole at the rate of consid erably less than a minute per bill. On the second pension flay SK bills were han dled in oommittee of the whole and passed by the house In just two houra. The com mittee of the whole merely recommend the bills for paaaage. Then It rises and the house does the rest- In th house the process is even simpler snd peedier than In tbe committee of the whole. At the be ginning tbe clerk reads the bill by title and tbe speaker say: "Without objection the bill will be con sidered as having been engrossed, read a third time and passed." After fifteen or twenty bill have been passed in that manner the process is still further cut short. The clerk reads only the number of the bill and tbe speaker ssys: "Sunt order." By that method the house lias jiassed thin- pension bills in less than one minute. When all are passed the speaker says: "Without objection a motion to reeonaider the vole on these bills will be considered to have been made and that motion laid on th table." That is the laat act, the usual for em ployed in clinching tbe passage of a bill. When th motion to reconsider has been tabled, the bill cannot be taken up again.
