Washington, Dec. 13',?The Sher wood service pension b ill, which would add upwards of $40,000,000 to the government annual expenditures by granting increased pensions to Civil and Mexican war veterans on the basis of length of service was passed by the house despite the de termined opposition of many Demo cratic loaders. Secretary of the In terior had estimated that the bill would add $75,000,000 to the pension roll If the 400,000 veterans eligible take advantage of the increased wage. Bight Republicans voted with the 84 Democrats against the bill. Speaker Clark voted with the ma jority of his party for the bill and Democratic Leader Underwood, and Fitzgerald of New York, chairman of the appropriations committee, vot ed against. Pass it up to Senate. The bill now goes to the senate where there is a disposition to pass some form of amended service pension legislation. Senate leaders, however, will proceed slowly in the considera tion of this legislation and many house Democrats voted for the measure in the belief that the senate would not pass it. The Sherwood bill would establish the following basis of pensions: For service for 90 days to six months, $!."> per month; from six to nine months, $20 per month: from nine months to on. year. $2."> per month; more than one year, ?:'>?> per month.
