COLORADO LAG

INPENSION PAY WILL CONTINUE

Promised $45 Preferred to Guaranteed $30 by Electorate.

DENVER, Nov. 29 (VU. P.) —Colorado’s $45-a-month old-age pension law survived a repeal proposal in the 2 eneral election but the state's 000 pensioners stand little chance o> getting their $45-a-month. The so-called “repeal plan” was a proposed constitutional amendment which would have substituted a “guaranteed” $30 pension for the present $45 system. It was the sec-

ond repeal attempt in two years and |

like the first one it went down to defeat in the election by a three-to-one ma State welfare officials said defeat of the repeal plan did not alter Colorado’s pension problem at all,

. Average Now $31

. The $45 law—most generous ih the nation—was adopted by a vote of ‘thie people in 1936. Eighty-five per ‘cent. of all excise and liquor taxes was earmarked for pensions. For five months the full $45 was paid. Then a steady increase in the number of pensioners caused a shortage of revenue and: never .since have full pensions been pos= sible in Colorado. For the last six months the aver732 pension payment has been out $31 or $32 a month. Weld fare officials say that unless some «new form of revenue is found $45 pensions never will be: possible—no matter how many times that voters issue a “mandate” for full payiments.; ‘Beaten by Committee A proposed amendment which ‘sponsors said would have made full ‘$45 payments possible appeared on; ‘the November election ballot beside ‘the repeal proposal. If proposed: a tax of from $5 to $10 on the face value of all-intangible property, such as stocks, bonds, bank ‘accounts, mortgages and installment paper and was designed to raise $4,000,000

yearly for relief and pensions. It

was defeated by a 100 to 1 margin

in the election.

Pensioners blamed defeat of the tax proposal on a state-wide committee of citizens formed last June to. combat the proposed intangibles tax. The committee charged in an intensive publicity campaign that the tax would drive business inter‘ests out of Colorado. “The pensioners have been getting more money in the last two years than they did previously,” said Governor Carr, Republicen, v who was reelected. :

seen, all right. And their presence in the forests of Indiana are gradually changing the forest life, according to conservationists. Most of the change is for the better. Even the health standards of the Hoosier meadow mouse is eventually going to be raised because of the presence of the deer. Since 1934, when they were rein-

troduced into the State by the Conservation Department, wild deer have attained a population estimated at between 600 and 1000. ‘This population increases annually at the average rate of a fawn and a half per doe. The mating season is in early October and the fawns are born in April, sometime twins, sometimes an only child. The fawns, when born, are spotted for a camouflage and they leave no scent. This is to protect them from predatory animals. In about five months, when nature deems them to be able to take care of themselves, they acquire a scent and lose the spots and are on their own. Deer like to live on the fringe of human habitation, in wild areas. They are frequently seen near villages and towns and highways in the forest areas of Indiana, where they have been liberated, but they are not often reported seen in the vast uninhabited areas of the State.

they are first liberated, inDi gots of these areas thought the whole idea was silly and that deer would not prosper. Now it would be worth your life, almost, to kill one of them, they have become-so popu-

lar. When more deer are liberated:

in any section of the habitat, schools in the vicinity are recessed

so that the pupils may watch the project. If this winter is severe and the snow is heavy and persistent, the deer in various areas will form deer yards, similar to those formed by deer in the north. They all band together, select a spot, and trample down the snow as a community project. As more snow falls, they trample it, and they stay within the confines of the yard, pretty: much. Each year the bucks shed their

antlers, and that’s where the health

of the meadow mice and squirrels

and porcupines come in. The ant-:

lers, which are of bone, contain phosphorous and calcium and other things necessary to the rodent diet. They can get these things readily

from the discarded antlers, and they:

have trouble getting them elsewhere. You have to be pretty nimble in the forests to find a shed pair of antlers before they are nibbled at by a meadow mouse who knows how to take care of his diet and Waals to stay healthy.
