President Roosevelt has received another large group of special pension bills. He has been assured by Commissioner Warner that the majority of these pensioners do not warrant being singled out for special bills and that the present arrangement rewards the “most clamorous” and not the most deserving. Roosevelt does not intend to take any immediate action but would like to meet with Senator McCumber and Warner to discuss these special bills and avoid a scandal.
