Colorado Pension Law Not
Defeated, Payments Behind

orado's pension problem at all
The SIS law-most generous in

OF the people in 1886. Eighty-five
per cent of all excise and liquor tax
es was earmarked for pensions For
five months the full s45 was paid
Then a steady increase in the num-

Average Now $3i
For the last six months the aver
age pension payment has been about
$3l or 1872 a month Welfare Off
Gals say that unless some new form
of revenue is found S45 pensions
never will be possi5le-no matter
low many times that voters issued
a mandate for full payments,
A proposed amendment which
sponsors said would have made full
$45 payments possible appeared on
the November election ballot beside
the repeal proposal. 1t proposed a
tax of from IS to $40 on the face
value of all intangible property,
such as stocks. bonds, bank &C
counts, mortgages, and installment
paper and was designed to raise
$4O000O0 yearly for relief and pen
sions 1t was defeated by 100 to
l margin in the election.
Pensioners blamed defeat OF the
tax proposal on a statewide commit
tee 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.
Against Tax increases
The apparent hostility OF Colorado
voters TO new taxes and campaign
promises of both major political
parties against new and increased
taxes" left little chanace that the
sales tax or liquor taxes would be
increased by the next legislature to
provide full SIS pensions.
