This involves a vast amount of business. Pension payments involve the largest single item of national expense to the national Government. The total expense for pensions from 1789 to the Civil War did not equal one half of what is now expended every year. The Commissioner of Pensions reported in 191 5 that there were, fifty years after the close of the Civil War, still 900, 000 names on the pension rolls, and a late Congressional appropriation for pensions was $162, 000, 000. All examinations an...d adjudications of claims fall within this bureau, and there are many pension agencies and thou- sands of medical examiners throughout the country connected with the bureau. Pensioners are paid in nearly every city and village in the land through the pension agencies, whose officers send the vouchers to the pensioners which are cashed by local post offices and banks. In the World War a system of war insurance has been sub- stituted for pensions, by which the soldiers may be insured at a low cost.
