Upon the merits as the case now stands, and because of the mistake in describing the relationship of the beneficiary, this bill, I think, should not become a law.

It is well known that the business of insurance is entered upon with the expectation that the premiums received will pay all losses and yield a profit to the insurance in addition.
I regret that I am constrained to disapprove an important appropriation bill so near the close of the present session of Congress.
I herewith return without approval House bill No. 4526, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Jonathan Scott.'
I can not gather from the facts I have been able to collect concerning this appropriation that it is justified on any ground.
