Randall Men Reply to Carlisle on Revenue Reduction Policy

Washington dispatch reports Randall Henley and Warner drafting a reply to Carlisle on reducing surplus revenue.

If signed it would raise total war pension rolls toward ninety thousand beneficiaries and push annual outlays near 200 million dollars, about two thirds of federal revenue. Critics concede its inequity and ambiguity but fear harming political careers and the bill’s passage unless vetoed. A Western Republican veteran member urged the President to veto, admitting he voted for it and would support a veto if given another chance.
