The following is the programme which will The Colonial Secretary-This very print be submitted at the Volunteer Concert which
takes place on Saturday evening - has been raised, more than once. People seem to think that pensions out of this fund grow.. out of the grauod. As a inat- ter af fiet the pension ratles are based and calculated op the assumption that the contributors pay 4 per cent. Continuously throughout the year whether they are as half pay of not. Consequently if you passed the amendment the hon. member has made you would have to recast the whi'e' of the pensión tables and, what is more, seeing that you reduce the contribution you would have to reduce the pention, unless the kan, member chonses to
propose an extra burden on the taxpayers Gow that the fand has been taken over by the 'Government, 1" have no doubt that the contributors would be delighted by the amsodment made, but in the interests of the taxpayers I cannot oblige him because it would involve the recasting of the whole pen- siontables.
