New Pension Law Faces Georgia Ratification
The Atlanta Constitution criticized the General Assembly for passing a service pension bill for Confederate soldiers and widows under tight property and income limits. The Senate expanded eligibility by removing the income cap and raising the property limit to 1500 dollars. The bill requires a constitutional amendment and ratification by voters. The editor urges support, citing past state generosity to pensioners and the need to honor veterans, while noting the extra legislative session will cost taxpayers. The Rambler laments costs and calls for party action, and the Georgia Legislature backs a move to authorize Congress to curb whiskey shipments to dry states, settling on a near beer tax of 200 dollars.
