JORDAN PRODUCTION FIGURES

Jordan Motor Car production fig
ures for the first nine months of this
year show an increase of consider
ably over 100 per cent against the
first nine months of last year.
"When you consider that Jordan
production last year was only seven
per cent below 1920" said Edward S.
Jordan, president of the Jordan Mo
tor Car Company, "you will realize
what the 1922 figures really mean.
1920 was the peak year for every
one in the industry, but as far as Jor-
dan production is concernedi 1922 will

could not add to appropriations in the
general budget bill. Provision was
made, however, for other appropria-
tions when the budget bills had been
acted upon, but these were to be for
specific purposes and must carry with
them the provision for payment"
The report of the Committee on
Corporations may be taken up next
week, though the absence of one of
the members who has minority re-
port to present may postpone its con-
sideration. The Bill of Rights may
also be considered or the report of
the Committee on Education. Two
other reports are only partially COM
pleted in the committee of the whole,
those of the committees on Judiciary
and on Referendum. Both are held
up by the absence of members who
have special interest in the PROPOSE
tons.
1.-THE general assembly shall in its
Legislative discretion provide for the
safeguarding of the public health"
This substitute to Proposal 1872 has
been approved by the committee of
the whole in the constitutional con-
vention after exhaustive discussion.
The original report of the committee
provided that "The general assembly
shall provide means for the safeguard
ing and promotion of the public health
and welfare" A minority report Of
feted as a substitute for the commit
tee report provided that:
"The general assembly shall pro-
vide means for the safeguarding and
promotion of the public health and
welfare by the authorization of such
sanitary, hygienic, and quarantine
measures that have in the past, and
which may in the future, befound to
be effective in the prevention, the
cure, and the prevention of the
spread of disease; but that no author
ity shall be conferred upon any board
of health, or other conservators of the
public health, to compel any person
or persons to submit to any medical
treatment for the prevention, the
cure, or the spread of any disease,
against his or her will. Nor, in the
enforcement of any sanitary, hy-
gienic or quarantine measures shall
any family be forcibly separated"
No proposition before the conven-
ton has been the subject of so much
outside attention and the Committee
on Public Health and Welfare has
been deluged with protests and petit
lions that have run into the thou
sands. The chairman of the commit
] tee stated that it had been the sole
purpose of the committee to give rec
ognition, in the simple proposal sub
mitted, to the work that had been
done in recent years along the line

child't play.
The report of the Committee on
Initiative and Referendum is before
the convention and has been consid-
cred for a little time in the commit
tee of the whole. The majority re-
port proposes few changes from the
old act, but they are important. The
percentage of signers for initiative
and referendum is reversed, the pro-
position being that per cent will be
required for the referendum and 5
per cent for the initiative. To avoid
delays in the submission of questions
the governor and the general assem-
bly, are both given power to call spe-
cial elections if necessary, the vote
otherwise being taken at the regular
general elections. Signers of petit
lions who are not able to write may
make their mark, which must be wit
messed by two citizens and the names
and addresses of the voters written for
them opposite their marks. Signers
must also be registered voters wher-
ever the law requires registration.

cent in both kinds of petitions. The
petitions are to be left in the office
of the clerk of the county court in
counties where there is no registra-
ton of voters, and elsewhere, in the
office. Of the election commissioners
or other officers charged with the
registration of voters. The petitions
shall be signed in the presence of the
election officer, and in the case of
voter who cannot write, his name is
to be written for him by the election
officer or deputy and he is to affiX
his mark opposite.
One amendment offered provides
for per cent of the voters for both
initiative and referendum and an
other raises the number to Is. 1t is
expected that if the minority is Civ
en- serious consideration an amend
ment will be passed providing that
the petitions can be left with the JUS
tees of the peace in the smaller plac-
es and election commissioners in the
cities. 1t is held by the proponents
that if the voters are really interested
in the propositions which are being
initiated or referred they will find no
difficulty in going to a convenient
place to register their names. The
circulation Of petitions, it is agreed,

of public health and welfare, and it
was greatly surprised to receive pro-
tests, principally from the Christian
/ Scientists, who seemed to discover in
the proposal purpose to subject in
dividuals to some special form of
treatment. Then the friends of the
public health and welfare work had
taken hand in the matter and the re-
suit was the reception Of many petit
tions asking that the proposal be
adopted. 1t was not the purpose of
the committee, as stated on the floor
of the convention, to favor any one
sect or form of treatment, but to pro-
vide recognition of public health
whereby all might be benefited.
The principal opposition to the
committee proposal, except as stated
in the minority report. was that the
matter was wholly covered in the bill
of rights, which states that "all con-
stitutional government is intended to
promote the general welfare of the
people" 1t was urged that no other
declaration was necessary and that all
khat had been accomplished along
the line of public health and welfare
had been done under the provisions OF
this section. Friends of the measure
acknowledged that this might be true
but that the matter ought to be treat
ed in a specific manner that would
make it perfectly clear to the layman.
To meet objections of some and to
comply with suggestions of others
the committee introduced the substi-
tute which was adopted. The minor
ity report had but few votes in its
favor.
Any new matter going into the con-
stitution has hard road to travel, If
there is any opposition to its passage,
as there almost always is. After be-
ing fully discussed and agreed upon
by the committee to which it was re-
ferred it goes to the convention and
then to the committee of the whole
for discussion, amendment and APP
proval. The report of the commit
tee of the whole has to be approved
by the convention, whence it goes to
the Committee on Phraseology and
Arrangement. Coming back to the
convention it is read a second time
and voted upon. 1t is then referred
to the Committee on Phraseology and
Arrangement. This committee re-
ports it to the convention again and
this time il is referred to the COM
mittee of the whole for further con-
sideration and possible amendment.
The convention then acts on the re-
port of the committee Of the whole
and the proposition goes to engross-
ment and is placed in the order of
third reading. The matter acted upon
is printed for the use of the members
and comes up for third reading and

The report of the Committee on EX-
ecutiye and Ministerial Departments
had to undergo its second attack from
members OF the convention opposed to
its adoption. when it came up in the
convention this week in the form OF
the report of the committee OF the
whole on the amendments there APP
proved. After the committee amend
ments had been acted on the report
was taken up section by section for
further amendment or substitution
and some other changes were made
from the original committee report.
The principal objection centered on
the budget provision Of the report
Opponents declared that it gave the
governor legislative power, in that ne
was given the sole authority to pass
on appropriations for the various
state departments and the state IN,
stitutions. The committee pointed
out that the governor simply provided
the general assembly with informa-
ton showing the needs of the depart
ments and state institutions, at the
beginning of each session, so that the
appropriation bills could be taken up
and disposed of early instead OF be-
ING left until the closing hours OF the
session as at present. They urged
that the general assembly still had
power to strike out or reduce any Item

No city could sustain such loss has come to
Pueblo in the past year without evil effects many ways
Yet it is statement of simple truth that Pueblo is
better city and stronger city because of the flood and
it is better prepared take advantage of all that
the future may bring than would have been if it
not for the flood for what has been done and learned
since the flood
Those persons who sincerely desire the welfare and
advancement of Pueblo could ask for nothing better than
that the spirit Of Pueblo shall continue to be for the
ing year what it has been for the past six months.
When consider what Pueblo has suffered and en-
dured in the latter half of 1921 and when compare its
conditions and circumstances with those of other
cities of the state and the nation there for pride
and for rejoicing, and also for renewed determine
ton to build here bigger and better Pueblo that shall
realize the visions Of the past that shall compensate for
the losses and dsappontments that have been endured
and that shall adequately reward all those who conri

The Year That Is Gone

The year 1921 extraordinary in many respects
Emerging from the manifold crises Of the greatest war
the world has known the victorious nations found
no joy or profit in their victory.
One of the main results Of the the disruption
Of the structure of international trade and all the
tions learned their how much the interests of
each one of them bound mp in the interests
Of them all
To the United States the year has been extremely
Disappointing Coming out of the with record OF
efficiency and of victory such was never before
ehroniced the United States has failed completely to
take advantage of its favorable situation to profit by
ite opportunities.
In the period of readjustment the people have not
merely neglected but they have almost angy refused to
make the transition from peace Plain facts have
been ignored Of the business world have been
defed with the inevitable result that the nation coming
iraculously thru the red Of war; has failed to find
the promised land Of peace and plenty but has continued
to wander thru the wilderness of disappointment and
distress.
Such a period Of folly and Of dissatisfaction was
probably inevitable When wise disagree mankind
learns only by experience and experience, be it
bered is the school of fools He is a wise fool that learns
by short experience.
The year of 1921 has brought small satisfaction. Its
departure few regrets The cloud that shadows
the future that the lessons of 1921 have been
derstood and made effective in action.
