"I can not believe that such a departure as is proposed should be made from the just principles upon which pension legislation ought to be predicated."

"A soldier with such a record should not be pensioned."

"The records do not show that he suffered from any disability during his term of service."

"I am decidedly of the opinion that the relations, the duties, and the obligations of subordinates in public employment should be clearly defined and strictly limited."
