VETERANS MUST
WAIT FOR PAY
NOT SUFFICIENT MONEY IN PEN
SION FUND TO PAY FOR LAST
QUARTER
ARE PAID $50 PER MONTH
Much Greater Than Any Other State
In The South Pays. Three Quar-
ter Mill Tax Is insufficient

Baton Rouge, La The Confederate
veterans OF Louisiana will not get a
pension warrant for the last quarter,
for the reason that the entire proceeds
OF the three-quarter mill tax have al
ready been paid out to the veterans
and their widows.
The sum OF 81 400 1880 has been
paid out In the three quarters OF this
year to the Confederate veterans, as
against $l,251, 1882 for last year.
and $685., 099 so for the year 1920.
The board Of liquidation regretted
that 1t could not pay the last three
months pension, but II 1t Is paid
there would be a deficit in this fund
of $500, 900, and the veterans have al
ready received more money out OF the
pension fund by nearly S225.0O than
was ever paid out in the history OF
the state
The Legislature Of 1921 passed Act
No. 125 providing that the state board
Of liquidation could borrow 100000
from the banks to pay the pensions OF
1922, provided the tax was not suffic-
dent. the banks to be repaid in 1924
out of the avaiFs OF this three-fourths
Of mill tax, but at the present rate
of increase in the number OF pensions,
and the amount paid out there Will be
no avalls, and on such security the
state could not borrow money.
Governor Parker. in his letter to
General McGrath pointing out the I'm
possibility OF paying the last quarter
pension checks, says:
with the best intentions, the pen
sion ordered payment OF $50 month,
when the total appropriations would
not Justify any such sums. as there
has been a steady increase In the
number of penions. The average age
of the pensioner being 80 years, the
board figured the percentage of deaths
would be heavy: but. due to the large
ly increased amount paid by the state
OF Louisianan, which Is in excess OF
any other state in the union, we have
q large number Of pensioners and
Gher widows from other states. and
the records show there has been
steady increase In the number OF pen
aon rolls"
