revenue bill had bad no provision for a military laili tary tax heretofore we had bad had bad a tax of twenty cents cent for military purposes had aad that tax baen put in the revenue bill it would have been amply sufficient clent this bill only involved the annual expenditure of some forty two or forty three thousand dollars to the people the sum was a small one to them it wasa was a great one these men are actually suffering for it the proposed section would give the officers nearly one half of their actual pixy pay it was an actual necessity to them that something should be lone done their pay was not sufficient to support them in decency there was not an officer in the service of the united states but what had spent his own money not on only ay in raisin raising 0 his company but in his own support the uniform of a Lieu lieutenant cost him nearly five months pay it was nothing but an act of justice and every other sta slate te of the union was doing the same tb thing i n g mr
