There have been so many dis as.
trous fires in New Mexico this year
that the insurance companies are
getting the notion that the rates
must be raised. Notices have been
sent out to this effect, and the new
rating is now under consideration.
The reason there has been so much
more loss in northeast New Mexico
this year than in previous ones, is
that there has been SO much more
property subject to il. The coun.
try is building rapidly and there
are towns now that were not in
existence a year and two years ago.

An effort is being made to have
congress annul the act OF the last
legislature IN relation to the print
ing OF legal notices, the proceedings
OF city and town councils, etc, and
congress should heed the demand
without delay. There is a general
suspicion that the act was prepared
by some starveling newspaper to
give II a chance to live at the
public expense, but however that
may he IT is clearly one OF the
most bare.taced attempts at public
robbery ever perpetrated by any
legislature, and ought to be set
aside at once, so that the public
will have a chance to forget it be-
tore a bill tor the admission OF
New Mexico to the union comes

stitute one OF the most effective
