COLORADO FACES A QUANDARY
The state of Colorado has a "ham-and-eggy" pension
plan of sorts.
The state of Colorado is frankly in a mdSs
As a matter of fact, Colorado's plan is not half so
generous as some others that have been kicking around
the country lately. It provides $45 a month minus income
for all persons over 60, which is a far cry from $80-every
Thursday or $200 a month. But the pension amendment
has tossed Colorado's finances into such a morasss that
the more deeply concerned citizens have either the
jitters or insomnia from worrying about it.
Now O Otto Moore, youthful, leather lunged mes-
siah of the Colorado pension movement, ha «another idea,
and apparently he will get enough endorsement signa-
tures ta get it before the electorate in the next elections.'
Mr. Moore proposes to tax all intangible property above
the first $3000 at the rate of from $6 to $10 per $1000.
His new scheme blithely ignores the fact that such prop-
erty is already covered in the state's income tax levy,
which imposes a flat two per cent on all proceeds from
intangibles.
\fter four years of the pension program, there are
few official hairs in Colorado that haven't turned gray.
Things had been bad 'enough, but after a recent decision
by Denevr Judge Stanley H. Johnson, state executives
were ready to throw up their hands in complete despair.
Judge Johnson held that pensions could not be
pro-rated, as had been done since the inception of the
•cause of lack of funds. The law, said,the jurist,
led $46 minus income to every person over 60. and
could be no if and buts. If the state didn't have
money, it would have to get ft somewhere, Further-
sureo#""
de
*
, the judge held citizens who had been short-changed ^
their pensions were entitled to receive fhe full amounts
unreceived pensions. This little item will total up to a
neat $10,000,000—which Colorado hasn't got.
As a result of the pension plan, relief clients have
been clipped down to allowances ranging between $5
and $7 a .week—while pensioners have been getting
actual grants of between $82 and $40 per month.
To further complicate matters, the pension amend-
ment contained a proviso that 85 per cent of all liquor
taxes and license revenue was to go into the pension
fund. The state supreme court recently ordered these
funds to be paid. Most of the cities had already spent
tbem. Denver, for one, is enmeshed in an almost hopeless
financial muddle and will be forced to levy new property
taxen to make up the liquor tax money spent for normal
tax purposes.
Voters still in doubt about pensions should examine
Colorado's puzzle and be warned. It could happen any-
where a pension scheme is launched without sound finan-
cial footing. Under no circumstances can a state, or the
federal government, suddenly begin to give away money.
Pensions must be planned for, built up on h solid economic
structure.
Eventually, perhaps, the citizens of Colorado will
back-track and begin building a workable pension system.
This will have to be done soon. Heaping new mistakes
on top of the old ones isn't going to help matters.
The Dies committee frowns at the idea of getting
Father Coughlin on the stand. Apparently the endorse-
ment of William Dudley Pel ley is about all it can stand
in bne month.

CHAPTER VII
ANN pulled her blind that night
"'*• before switching on the light.
Doing so, she averted her eyes,
refusing to glance across the alley.
0( one thing she was sure. The
next day, or Monday at the latest,
she would llnd another room. She
would not run the risk of meeting
the young man on the street. He'd
never get the chance to luugh at
her again, or snub her. Sho got
into the thin bed and cried her-
self to sleep.
She dured not le ive her room on
Sunduy. She nitght run into the
young man unci he'd think she
had tracked him down. She
worked up quite n hate toward the
young man before evening.
She was in low spirits Monday
morning. She hud followed her
one little ray of light ind it had
led her to the most humiliating
experience of her life.
Ann disciplined herself while
eating breakfast. It was Just as
well that the incident in the li-
brary had turned into a fiasco
Just suppose the young man across
the way had been K295. The out-
come might have been disastrous
to her plans. She even went so
far as to reluctantly admit that he
had oppealod to he - and she
wanted none of that sort of thing.
A little of her sense of humor
returned at this point. She cer-
tainly need not worry about an
amorous entanglement with the
young man across the alley. He
had plainly demonstrated his un-
willingness to moke friends with
her. However, to avoid any fur-
ther embarrassment, she would
move. That was settled.

"Did you see a show. Ann?" and
she answered, "No. I wasn't In
the mood fcr a show."
At noon she went for a walk.
Thinking about her prospective
move, She decidcd to consult the
10-cent store girl. Perhaps she
might know of a place. She went
to the notion counter and her
friend came to wait on her,
"Hello, kid." she .said. "How did
the dress turn out?" Always Ann's
heart warmed to the girl. She had
a «¡ft of charm, a real and unfail-
ing interest.
"It s all right," Ann told her. "1

they got back to the subject at
hand. Ann said, "I'd like to live
with you, Clara. It's wonderful of
you to ask me."
"You might come and give it the
once over after work tonight,"
Claru suggested.
"How much rent do you pay?"
"Twenty-two a month and it's
nice for that."
Ann's share would mean an
extra dollar. She could cut out
the movies— "I can manage it,"
she said. "I'll go home and pack
my things. I won't stay where 1
am another night. Where do you
live?"
"But suppose you don't like it?"
Clara asked dubiously. "You're
sorta swell, Ann—"
• I'll like It. all right."
Clara reached across the table
and squeezed Ann's hand. "Gee,
I'm glad. We'll have fun. Maybe
' you can learn me to dress better
and do my hair like yours."
Ann's heart went out to the 10-
cent store girl. What if she did
murder the king's English? What
if her ideas of make-up were
atrocious? She was young and
gay, the touch of her hand was
loving.
Ann's eyes «hone, "We'll have
fun," she said huskily. "I haven't
had any fun—ever."
Clara finished her liverwurst on

"Great guns," he exclaimed.
"What have you got in tills suit-

"It's the body," she told him.
He laughed. It was a nice laugh,
low and throaty. "I thought you
were making your getaway in a
hurry. Look out, young lady, your
sin will find you out,"
"I hate to disappoint you, but
I've covered my tracks."
They approached the lighted El

Five stations farther west ahe

"Red cap, lady?" With the t
tion, her bags were lifted
her hands. Paul Hayden, none
other, started for the stairs.
"Well, I declare," Ann breathed.
Her eyes sparkled, a little laugh
tinkled, and the last remnant of
rancor toward Paul Hayden van-
ished from her mind. It had never
been in her heart. They walked
up the street, side by side.
"You're not such a bad person,"
she said.
"My mother adores me."
"How in the world did you catch

"There's a bit of magic in my
