Under its provisions when a soldier of the Civil War arrives at the age of 60 years, he is allowed $6 per month without examination as to disability. At 61 he is allowed $8 and at 70 years $12. This measure does away with any question as to disability and gives every solder a pension regardless of disease contracted in the war or since that time.
