Show TRUTH the telephones can be used to hold recalcitrant or. wabbling delegations in line, and there will also be a chance for a member of any delegation to ask the chairman to recognize him for a speech. It will be the first time telephones have ever been used in such work, and the result will be awaited with breathless interest. If it works in St. Louis, why not in Zion? Just imagine Kearns and his crowd telephoning Summit from one side of the Salt Lake theatre to the seats across It would the aisle to stand pat. mouse many save Joe Lippmans weary footsteps. o Editor Truth: In an interview given out by Senator Kearns after his return from last week, he said, Washington There is an among other things: other thing that will redound to the everlasting glory of the Republican party, and that is, that during a Republican administration, a rule has been put into effect which secures to the veterans of the army an increased pension, based upon an age limit That is net a true statement of fact, as will be seen by the following: Under the provisions of Section 2 of the act of June 27, 1890, as amended by the act of May 9, 1900 any officer or enlisted man who served 90 days or more in the United States army or navy during the war of the rebellion and received an honorable discharge therefrem may be entitled to a pension not to exceed $12 per month, provided he is now or may hereafter be suffering from any disability of a permanent character, not the result of his own vicious habits, which so incapacitates him from the performance of manual labor as to render him unable to earn a support. In passing upon the question of what evidence was necessary to support a claim made under these acts. Pension Commissioner Black, during C evelands administration, made this ruling: It is taken and considered as an evidential fact, if the contrary does not appear, and if all other legal requirements are properly met, that when a claimant has passed the age of G5 years he shall be regarded as disabled ore-hain ability to perform manual labor, and may be er.tit ed to the minimum pension of $6 per month; after 75 years of age to the maximum rating of $12 per month. But iu no case can a pension exceed $12 under these acts. Commissioner Ware, under the present administration, has modified the rule made by Commissioner Black sc as to make the rating as follows: When the claimant is 62 years of age, he shall receive $6 per month. After 65, $8 per month; after 68, $10 per month; after 70, $12 per month. It will he seen from the foregoing that there has been no increase of pension either by act of congress or the ruling of the commissioner. But the rule in respect to the age limit has been reduced from 65 and 75 years, respectively, to 62 and 70, and the pensions granted under the act of June 27, 1890, as amended, are not in addition to those granted under any other law, as the act of congress referred to prohibits the payment of more than one pension to a person for the same period. Boston News Bureau is accurate, and it looks as if it might be: Benjamin B. Thayer, the new manager of the Amalgamated Copper company, has been making changes in the management of the several mines and it is reported that a number of other changes are in contemplation with a view to improving operations. The announcement by John G. Morony, who is cashier of the Amalgamated bank at Great Falls, that the cut is Amalgamated company of politics in the whole state of is Montana, except Butte, still the general topic of conversation. The Amalgamated Copper people have spent several million dollars in politics in Montana and the management evidently has concluded that it is tco expensive. Mr. Morony says: 'I want to say that the Amalgamated Co. is out of politics. It is not only out of politics in Cascade county, but the whole state, with the possible exception of Silver Bow county. The company dees not purpose taking any stand or lifting a finger in any of the various counties with the object of controlling any delegation from any county of the coming state convention. The company not only is out of politics, but it purposes 9 burning every political bridge, even to selling and disposing of its political newspapers. o REACHING THE SUBURBS.
