Pension scandal shows long tail of unrewarded service
Prairie Farmer reviews pensions on the Federal program, noting continued payments to survivors long after the Civil War. It cites Peter Tuman and widow Mrs Morton, argues against lavish pensions, urges scrutiny to protect national funds, and recounts a fraud probe sparked by a pension examiner. It also mentions 80 million dollars in pensions this year and criticizes those who seek to stop supportive coverage for veterans.
