COLORADO TO
FACE PENSION
issue IN VOTE
SIS NJ 0 nthly Payments
Nav Be Repealed by
November Ballot

DENVER, Sept 3O.-CUP)-
Colorado voters will decide at the
polls in November whether TO con-
tinue the most ambitious social
security experiment in American
history.
Two years ago a law providing
Sl5-per-month payments to every
resident past 60 was written into
the states constitution. A propos-
al to repeal that law will appear
on the general election ballot this
year.
With the election still weeks
away, the proposal already out
tanks the New Deal and torrid
RepubIican-Democratic battle over
selection Of u. S. senator and a
governor as a campaign issue.
Thousands of dollars are being
spent by sponsors of the repeal
plan to finance 4 statewide pub
LEFTY campaign. Sound trucks.
speaking tours. radio programs
and newspaper advertising are be-
ing used laviShly.
PENSION GROUPS ACTIVE
Old-agc pension organizations,
sworn to uphold the present law,
have announced that they will
send a crew Of 10000 pensioners
from door to door in their anti
repeal drive.
Back Of the repeal battle is an
increasing shortage in state funds
which has forced pension pay
mcnts far below the SIS mark.
The constitutional amendment
approved by the voters in 1896
guaranteed to needy aged resi-
dents pensions Of $45 a month.
The figure was half again as much
as the highest award under the
Federal Social Security Act. The
amendment also reduced to SO the
age at which pensions would be-
gin. The Federal minimum is 60.
Payments were to be financed
by a clause which set aside 80
per cent Of all state cNciS" taxes,
including sales and liquor lcv'cS,
the most lucrative source Of state
income.
