FORD MAKING 1000 CARS A DAY.
Present Production Greater than for
Same Period Last Year.
NUMBER 90.
n

Ford is building cars at full speed.
And, according to an official state
ment from the factory at Detroit. the
demand for cars and trucks still ex-
ceeds the output, despite the fact
that new high level of production
sl'aa go Eassss
By the first Of May the figures rep
resentang daily production were in
the neighborhood Of 1000 day, SO.
the May schedule was set at 10, ,125
cars and trucks, not including the out
put of the Ford Canadian plant or
any OF the foreign assembling plants.
The output mounted daily: May IL
brought forth 1902, the greatest num-
ber that have been produced in one
day SO far this year. Since the month
has rs working days, present indica-
t1ons point to new high record.
A comparison of Ford production
figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses
the fact that for April, 1921, the out
put was greater by 34,514 than for
the corresponding month of a year
ago. The output for May, 1921, will
probably overshadow May, 1920, by
between fifteen and twenty thousand
cars and trucks.
Approximately $4,000 men are at
work in the Detroit plant of the Ford
Motor Company. The factory is op-
Grating on full time, six days a week,
and three shifts day.

ton than we are right now," said

Fought to save America.

That the Republican administration
is attempting to place a construction
upon the purpose of the United
States in entering The world war diff
ferent from that contemplated at
the time, is evidenced by the remarks
Of Col George Harvey, recently ap-
pointed ambassadoi TO Great Britain.
In the course pf speech delivered
at the reception ofWelcome rendered
him in LondoA d feW days ago, Mr..
Harvey declared that the United
Isag ii Natioss Iiiat thYs country ss Nv
entered the war not to save Great
Britain, France or Italy, but to save
America. This is complete repudia-
ton of former President Wilson, who
was one of the most conspicuous
among the heads of nations to ad-
vocate the league.

Refuse Assessment Reduction.

Whatever might have been the pur-
pose Of the legislature in creating the
boards of assessment reviews for the
parishes, it is evident that the state
board of affairs does not intend to be
influenced by their recommendations
in the matter of reducing values on
property. A few days ago the board
of review from Iberville parish ap-
peared before the state board and
urged that the assessments for 1921
be reduced to that of 1919, but the
state body refused to grant the re-
quest. The assessments for that par
ish in 1919 was over $4,000, 900,
and for this year, reached $15,O00,-
600. 1t is said that the state board
suggested that the police jury be
asked for reduction in the parish
rate.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
Some of the Important Doings of the
Organic Law Body During Week.
For Shorter Constitution.

For Shorter Constitution.
E. M. Stafford delegate from New
Orleans and member Of the judiciary
committee, filed minority report be-
fore the convention, in which he sub
mitted brief schedule covering the
judiciary. In his report Mr.. Stat
ford said in part:
"1n lieu Of the fifteen thousand
word schedule of the majority of the
committee, providing for the courts
Of Louisiana, schedule, which will
in itself, be longer than the constitu-
ton of the United States a play Of
Shakespeare, and twenty pages Of the
city directory together, I offer the
following compact and simple pro-
visions:
"'The judicial power of the state
of Louisiana shall be vested in the su-
preme court, and in such inferior
courts as the legislature may from
time to time, ordain and establish.
Judges both of the supreme and in
ferior courts shall hold office during
terms of twelve years, and shall be
elected, save vacancies occurring
within less than two years from the
end of any terms, shall be filled by
the judges Of the supreme court.
"'Until new enactments by the
legislature of Louisiana, all existing
laws relating to the courts, judges,
jurisdiction, clerks, organization and
compensation and all other matters
relating to the judiciary department.,
shall remain in full force and effect;
provided, that no change therein shall
be effected, except by vote of two
thirds of both branches Of the legis-
ature and approval Of the governor. -

Convention Cost $27OO Day.

Some Of the statisticians of the
Constitutional Convention have fgur-
ed out that the total expense Of the
body is s2700 per day. This in
cludes the per diem of the delegates,
cost of clerical help, printing and in
cidentals. Figured on a basis that
sessions consume six hours per day,
the statisticians have worked out this
expense as follows: Cost per day,
$2700; per hour, $3.50; per minute,
$3.50. Cost of a five minute speech,
$3.50; of ten minute speech, $75;
of thirty minute speech, s225; of a
speech of one hour, $3.50; two hours,
5000. Some of the delegates have
reached the conclusion that it is
time to choke off speech-making
Unless this is done
they believe that another extension
of time will be necessary to complete
the constitution. 1t is said that an
outsider who was invited to address
the convention spoke for an hour and
thirty-fve minutes at cost to the
state treasury of $712.50.

A large number of cane growers Of

at the courthouse at Abbeville few
days ago to discuss the situation as

satisfaction was expressed over pres

ments could not be made that the

tory should be undertaken. Organ

MAY EXTEND CONVENTION.
Indications Are Work Cannot Be Fin.
ished in Extra Sixty Dayss

According to reports from Baton
Rouge it is becoming more and more
evident every day that the Constitu-
tional Convention cannot complete
its work by June II, the date on
which the four weeks extension will
expire and the question of further
prolonging its sessions is being seri-
ously considered by some of the mem
bers Of the body The work uf The
convention is said to have become
congested, due to recoE1mitnaent OF
several schedules; the revival of pub
lie hearings, and the inability to get
working quorums in many instances.
The legislative call for the conven-
ton fixed it's term at rs days. This
was extended 80 days more by the
body itself making total of 105
days, and this it is now feared will
not be enough time within which it
might complete it's work.
In anticipation Of Il possible furth-
er extension, and with full appre-
ciation of the true public sentiment
on the question, r. J. Labauvee de-
legate from Vermilion parish, has Of
fered the following resolution:
"Whereas, at the expiration Of the
extended time, this convention shall
have been in session 103 days;
\ "Whereas, same shall have cost the
state over 100000;
Whereas, the calls calling said
convention, limited the time that de-
legates' should receive pay but that
same was extended and pay provided
for said delegates with q view of
completing it's labors:
Whereas. it appears this conven-
ton will not complete it's !abors with
in the extended periods and that ad-
ditional time will be required
Therefore, be it resolved, that
should this convention be in session
after the time stated in the vesolu-
ton extending the time Of said con-
vention, that the delegates serve, AS
such, without compensation"
The adoption of the resolution
might have the effect Of speeding up
the work of the organic law body,
since it is not to BE expected that the
delegates would be willing to serve
very long without compensation.

Dippinp Enforced.

The dipping law is going to be en-
forced in Lafayette parish. The
court had the unpleasant duty of
fixing a fine Of $25 and costs on six
cattle owners that) failed to dip.
When a man gets a notion that he is
bigger than the law, then is the time
to shorten on his handspring and
show him how really picayunish he is.
The atmospheric space his frame is
taking up is being wasted. Concilia-
tory methods won't work with this
class, what they need is the hook.
The world would be alright if it
wasn't worried with these wastrels
who fail to appreciate the grand
country they are privileged to live in.
