His widow's pension should be increased beyond that furnished others in her situation.
I find no reason why this beneficiary should be singled out from his class.
The beneficiary mentioned in this bill is now receiving the highest rate of pension allowed in cases such as hers under the general law.
I can not put out of mind the soldiers in this condition who were privates in the ranks.
