24 will ballot on a double-barreled social reform program which is raising misgiv. ings among conservative business elements. Both propositions have been the battle-cry of politicians for years, thru many hot campaigns. They are constitutional amendments for old age pensions and exemption of homesteads from ad valorem taxes. Paradoxically, the old age pension supporters have split, with the politicians, and thru farm-labor groups have launched ru drive, with promise of success, to initiate a liberal pension amendment.

The legislature submitted an amendment providing $15 a month pensions, limiting eligibility in drastic ways. Farm-labor groups announced themselves dissatisfied with the legislature's proposition, and launched an amendment to provide $30 per month, financed by a broad privilege tax similar in many respects to a sales tax. A effort is brewing as conservative elements organize to beat this measure. The homestead, exemption amendments the field, but Gov. E.

W. Marland announced he would withhold an initiated amend. ment which was launched before the legislature submitted a plan. Taylor Is Killed by Commission Car James Taylor. 35, of Homestead, was killed at 8:30 p.
