THE chief argument for the lorna.
ton OF Pyramid county is a geographi.
cal one. The county Of Graut consists
OF two geographical sections, q lying
to the north and east OF the Burro
mountains, and the other lying to the
south and west. 1t is a hard aud
cruel drive over these mountains. Sc
hard is It that few drive, unless the
railroad is washed out. Even when
the trains are running regularly a per
o mas TO go from here to Deming,
stop over night, and get to Silver City
the next day. 1t takes longer for a
resident OF Steeplerock to get 80 the
county seat than it does a resident OF
Lordsburg TO get TO the capital OF the
territory. With the formation Of the
county OF Pyramid all OF the people 10
the county eau reach the county seat
with comparative ease. Then the
taxpayers would be saved the enor.
nous expense Of transporting prison
ers, officers, aud jurors from this sec
tion 10 Silver City, and the private
citizen who had business at the county
seat would be saved the large travel
ling expenses they must now incur
when making the trip, to say nothing
OF the time that would be saved. As
most OF the officers OF the counties are
paid by fees II costs no more to run
two small counties than o large one,
while the saving would be large. The
division OF Grant county will not only
be a benefit TO the taxpayers OF Pyra.
mid county, but 10 the taxpayers Of
Grant county.

want TO say IN a general way, that a
careful reading OF It's provisions, and a
comparison with the old Insurance law
OF your territory would lead me TO be.
lleve that said law is not particularly
Objectionable. There may be oblcc.
lions TO the law which will develop
later on, but az this TING toe most
serious objection is the two per cent
tax levied on the gross premiums OF
companies doing business in your
territory. 1 want to repeat what I
said in a previous communication that
no stslwart, reliable or conservative
insurance company objects to paying
seasUnable taxes aud fees for the
privilege Of doing business in u state
where 10 may at some time or other be
compelled TO ask the protection OF the
law. 10 fact, 10 Is oulY right that 10
should contribute fairly agd reason
ably toward the maintenance OF the
government whose protection 1t may
at some time have TO invoke. The
only question Is whether IL Is fair to
tax companies on gross premiums.
There have been years in New Mexico
when Insurance companies have paid
out more actual cash than they took
In during the year. Under the new
law the company would have to pay
the tax on the gross premiums, or pay
taxes for the privilege of losing money.
Therefore IL always seems to us fair TO
tax insurance companies on net
premiums; that is to say, the pre-
miunis written, less cancellations and
also losses paid, aud commissions paid
TO agents Ia the territory, which the
company OF course never receives, and
has never had in It's possession. We
think that a tax OF even three per cent
on net premiums would be more equit
able than a tax of two per cent on the
gross. However, we are not inclined
TO and much fault with the new law
as it appears at least to relieve us of
the outrageous and unreasonable ex.
action Of the local fire departments,
and 1t IS my candid opinion that
neither the good people Of the towns
and cities n0r the insurance companies
have ever gotten the least bit Of bene-
ut out OF the taxes which the local
Gre departments have enacted from
the insurance companies under the
old law" William S. Warren, the
resident secretary and manager OF the
Liverpool s. london 81 Globe com.
pany, n of the largest companies in
the world, writes; 1--WE can heartily
approve the bill with the exception of
the tax clause at the end OF section II,
which does not permit the companies
TO deduct losses and expenses, and in
creases quite materially our taxes 10
New Mexico. Our company does not
object to paying a fair tax, but com.
panies generally dislike to pay any
taxes when the losses and expense:
exceed the income"

SEVERAL weeks ago the New Next

passed a joint resolution instructing
Che secretary to send copies OF all bills

posed legislation. After the leglsla-
ture had been 10 session for thlrty-s six

Mr. Reynolds may be a success, but as

WHEN the proposition OF the forma.
tion OF Pyramid county was irst made
it was considered desirable TO End out
how the people, especially those living
close TO the line considered the mat
ter. Men with petitions in favor OF
tue new county were sent to Separ,
STEMS Pass, Gold Hill, Bedrock and
the Lower ella. Owing TO the foods
it was impossible to send a man ia
Steeplerock, but a petition was placed
in the St%eeplerock ~postofice. To gel
the exact opinion OF the people every
petition was accompanied by a protest,
aud II a man would not sign the petit.
tlOn he was requested TO sign the pro-
test. The petitions were literally
signed, and only four men signed the
protest. They were r. A. Curetou Of
Gold Hill, Jerry Mcdonald and VIM.

OF the Lower ella. Those who know
Mr.. Wilson declare that II all the

The high water took out the head Of
the Sunset ditch, on the lower ella.
This is the largest and most impor.
tant ditch on that section Of the river,
and had its head near the mouth OF
the box canyon. The water not only
took out the head Of the ditch but
changed It's channel so it occupied the
place where the head had been, and
where the canal was. 10 order to get
water into the ditch the ditch com.
pany had TO get back to its original
starting point, and the only way to do
that was to blast a right of way in the
rock along the side of the box. This
work Is now being done. When COM
pleted the ditch company will be in a
condition to defy the foods for a few
centuries, until the waters wear the
box down so far that the water cannot
be taken into the ditch at its present
level. This is a problem for poster
ity, and it VIII be left for p%osterlty to
solve.
