For Park Improvements

Superintendent Of Parks Colby has prepared and
Commissioner Lovern has approved general plan for
the improvement and development of the city parks of
Pueblo
The need Of general plan Of this kind is evident
The parks of any city should be operated whole
and as individuals, and there should also be
tnuy Of purpose from year year Any other method
invariably leads to waste and to ineffciency
In general it may be said that Superintendent
Colbys plans practical and that they will result in
a marked improvement of Puebo's parks Unlike other
plans that have been presented at various times in the
past they do not involve large extra appropriations to
which the taxpayers would not be favorable under pre-
sent conditions Mr.. Colby proposes only things that
be done without adding to the taxpayers burdens
and he has shown unusual ability in picking out the
things that need to be donc and that be done
in the ordinary Of park maintenance.
Every person in Pueblo should feel pride in
Pueblo's parks and should cordially support any good
plan for making them attractive and effective
toward the for which they planned.

An Important Election

The coming city election win be Of the most
important held in Pueblo, for the that the
city is at a very critical period in its affairs.
Since the great flood of last June the people Of
Pueblo have made wonderful recovery. They have
not only brought the city back to what is IN many
respects improvement upon the conditions that
existed before the flood but they have also made consd
cradle progress toward safeguarding the ety from
repetition Of that calamity
The coming city election win therefore decide
whether Pueblo is to continue along the way of pros
perty and restoration whether s energies to be
dlpated and its wasted in the quarres of
partisan politics and inefficient city government.
The Chieftan is not disposed to criticize the motives
Of those citizens who this time pushing plan
change in the city charter and the establishment in
Pneblo of what is known the City Manager plan of
municipal government But admitting that the persons
who foremost in this movement nctuated only
by sincere desire for the public welfare it does not
appear that such change would be best the present
time
The question to be considered in Pueblo is a prac
tcal and not a theoretical one. One may concede all
that is said of the theoretical advantages of the City
Manager plan, and still remain strong in the opinion
that the change is dangerous to be undertaken at
the present time It IS not question of what the City
Manager plan has accomplished in other places and at
other times 1t is question Of what the change in
the city charter may involve in Pueblo in the next few
years.
Briefly stated the City Manager plan proposes to
turn the entire city government for the next two years
over to n council of ten men, named in the proposed
amendments placing upon them the duty OF choosing a
CITY Manager who shall run the business of the city
subject the provisions of this charter amendment.
The proposed charter amendment is signed by
"Cifv Manager Campaign committee The ten persons
nnmel as councilmen chosen nj held in
the various districts into which the city divided by
the amendment. The person to be chosen as CITY
Manager is not named in the amendment. It is claimed
by the supporters of the plan that the City Man
syer roud be chosen for his competency and his expert
ness and with other consideration than that of the
eitv, interests But there is guarantee thnt this
would be the case.
On the contrary, there is a possibility that the six
members Of the City Council who would have authority

Wisdom for the Wash
ingfon Conference
Frederick A. Hatch

The most important gathering of representa-
tives of governments of Europe Asia and this
country, is to be held shortly in the Capital of the
United States. In sense it is more impor-
tant than that held at Versailles two years 6go,
And that conference so failed to complete its
work that this is absolutely necessary.
The political phases have place in his
article but the main idea to permeate the Wash
ington conference is higher and wider than any
political consideration. The economic factor, the
political fator and must be subordinate to the
spiritual. For the class interests and political
and economic interests will never function as they
should for the betterment of the various peoples
unless the spiritual motives commanding.
Factions can be controlled if the control is to be
permanent, not by force, but by spiritual influ-
enccs. In a sense this Washington conference is
religious gathering. Not that the men who
control it all religious, but the conditions to
be faced the principles to be invoked and the
power to make them operative, must be those
which inspired by spirit which is higher
than the human.
Therefore it is meet and right that we pay
heed to the proclamation Of Governor, and
Nov. 9th spend our hours in the houses Of prayer,
and that continue in that attitude every day,
if the outcome Of the meeting is to be something
real in preventing war and the conditions that
lead TO it. Mere human wisdom is utterly made
quate for such a Tremendously important gather
ing Faith without works be only sort OF
religious spasm. Self before God is very cheap
and flinsy The and interests represented
in that building where polygot passions Will have
play, will not be helpfuIly controlled unless there
be manifest the presence Of One Unseen, reveal
ing, inspiring, uotivating, calming and lifting
the curtain of future years to those men of anti
pathetic and century-old schemes. Some will say
and perhaps, pray, ''Lord give US freedom from
the burden and blight of armament, but not
now." But if we do not succeed in having tho
things that make for peace, operative now, fear
at they never will be until after the great rbula-

GREATEST COIN YEAR
ON RECORD WAS 1920
by Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-1920 was
the greatest corn year in the history
of the country according to the rec
ords of the department of agriculture,
Besides growing a record crop Of g.
232, 367, 900 bushels, the farmers estab b.
lished a new record for average yield
per acre with 800 bushels, the second
time in history that the country's av-
erage yield went past 80 bushels.
The area planted to corn last year
was 104, 601, 900 acres which was
smaller than the area planted in eight
other years heretofore and 100000
acres smaller than the area which
produced the previous record crop of
S,124,74 900 bushels in 1912. Last
5000, 100000 bushels.
Iowa, the country's greatest corn
producing state, made an average of
46 bushels to the acre for the first
time in its history. The highest ay-
erage acre yield of any state was that
of Vermont with AZ bushels. Maine
in 1919 had the highest average acre
yield with so bushels. In the ten
years previous to that year the high
est average yield has been made
by one of the New England states.
Connecticut had highest yield in six
of the ten years, Massachusetts in
two, New Hampshire in one, and Yer
mont and Massachusetts, tying in
one.
