LOAN STATE FIFTY THOUSAND
Los Angeles Bankers % Their Share
in Paying OF State
Militta Debt

Los Angeles banks have responded
quickly to request from Governor
Pardee to loan the state $4,000 to be
used In paying off the national guard
that did duty at San Francisco and
Oakland. Nearly the full amount was
raised yesterday, and It is thought
there will be no difficulty in securing
the remainder
Former payments were made with
money borrowed from the banks in
Sacramento and Oakland. 1t is gener-
ally conceded by banking officials that
the legislature will make provision for
the repayment of the money advanced.
As the expenditure was out of the or
dinary, there was no provision to cover
it.

TROUBLE IN OHIO
OVER RATE LAWS
OFFICIAL SAYS PEOPLE ARE
DISSATISFIED
L. w. 5uekmast Of Hooking Valley
Describes Inconvenience Of SELL
ing Tickets to state Line.
General Railway News

L. w. Buckmast passenger agent for
the Hooking Valley Railway company
with headquarters in Columbus, o., has
written letter to T. c. Peck describing
the hardship that is being worked upon
the people and upon the railway COM
pany by the passage Of the 2-cent a
mile law.
Mr.. Buckmast SAYS that the business
in the downtown ticket Office has fallen
off more than a third and that it is his
belief that more tickets are being pur-
chased at the Union station, because
the trains seem to be filed with pas
sengers.
The railroad company is being put to
a great deal of trouble because it can
sell tickets only to the state line and
the tickets must again be resold to
passengers there. This applies whether
the passenger is entering or leaving the
state and discommodes travellers. This
is especially true If the train passes
over the line during the night.
II is Mr.. Buckmasts opinion that the
Interstate laws should be fixed up as
soon as possible. He says that mileage
books are being used but little because
there is not enough difference between
that rate and the regular rate.
Change in Laws Expected
He states that the removal by a bill
of the one railroad commissioner and
the appointment of a committee of
three with $4,000 a year salary each
promises to make trouble between the
people and the railroad company
There is already a great deal of fric-
tion and on account of the trouble that
the people are being put to by the new
laws it is thought that they may de-
mand some radical measures at the
next session of the legislature
Another thing that Mr.. Buck1nast
believes will make trouble is the charg-
ing of 10 cents extra where fares are
paid on the train. This will be put in
force on June 1. Many have already
announced their determination to fight
against paying the extra charge and
say that they will test the legality of
ii. Where this has been strictly en-
forced before it has caused great deal
of trouble between the conductors and
the travelling public, and Mr.. Buckmast
says that the railroads should not court
any more causes of friction with the
public than already exist.

INCREASE RATES
ON INSURANCE
CHANGE EFFECTS ONLY NEW
BUSINESS
Advance on Buildings and Mercantile
Stocks Amounts to rs Per Cent.
More Fire Protection
ls Wanted

Fire insurance rates on all business
buildings and mercantile stocks were
raised yesterday 25 per cent by order of
the board Of underwriters Of the
Pacific. Circulars were received by all
agents yesterday with the following
notice:
Except as hereinafter provided. the
rates now applying within the jurisdic-
ton of this board whether published
or tariff, are hereby increased 20 per
cent"
The exceptions to this sweeping order
is residence property and household
goods The rates on these we're re-
duced 20 per cent March /, but the cir
cular of the board of underwriters pro-
vides that the old rate shall he estab-
llshed for the residence district.
This order applies to all new business
written by the agents, but does not
affect insurance now in force.
The Pacific board of underwriters has
jurisdiction over all cities on the Pacific
coast, and according to its order Los
Angeles is rot the only city that must
have higher insurance rates All coast
cities are subject to the same general
order.
Will Ask for Engine House
Walter Wren. member of the fire
commission and an insurance under
writer, said yesterday that a new
schedule of rates was being prepared
for Los Angeles and that the increase
of 25 per cent was adopted pending the
receipt of this schedule. The order was
made at recent meeting of the board
held in Oakland.

said Mr.. Wren, "it is probable there
will be difference in the rates. The
25 per cent increase may not apply to
some classes of business and for i1er
classes the rate may be even higher"
Members of the fire commission will
probably ask the council at it's next
meeting for $4,000 for engine houses
