Favoritism and discrimination are
allowed as reasons for returning with
out approval the Perry bill relating

Gov. Blaine. The bill amends the
present law by providing that the
blind pension shall be an amount
which, when added to an amount re-
ceived as an income from other sourc-
es shall not exceed $3.50.
The present law fixes the maximum
blind grant at $3.50, if blind and 1920
if both blind and deaf.

ing law and the pending bill that in
no event shall any pension exceed
$3.50 for the blind and $3.50 if both
blind and deaf
