that there seemed something wrong
! with the new rates, and he was toe
dense to understand Mr.. Rodes' explain
alton, If such it was, to to why they
should be raised TO the extent they have
been. Mr.. Hudspeth volunteered his
services in going before the governor
or the fire rating board to seek a RENE
dy for the injustice.
H. D. Slater replied to the arguments
of MIR. ROdes, and stated that there
should be no delay in taking remedial
action
McGOwn's Position.
W. c. McGown, Ell PasO county's rep
reSentative in the last legislature, stat
ed that he had been told on the streets
that he was expected to attend the
meeting in order that old Harry might
be raised with him for standing for
the measure in the house. Il am here
for the raising" he said. He stated that
he had personally opposed the measure,
but that he voted for it because he
had a number of appeals from persons
in Ell Paso to support the measure and
not one single protest. when 1 take
the oath to Iepresent Ell PasO county"
sa i'd Mr.. McGoWn, I don't know a Mex
lean from negro, nor democrat from
a republican, and whatever the people
say they want, that's what l am going
TO try to get"
D. NJ. Payne stated that he had heard
nothing but communication for Ell Pasos
representative in the senate and house
of representatives and, replying to Mr..
McGOWn'S statement that he did not
know whether he would represent Ell
Paso county again, he said that without
throwing any bouquets, he hoped Mr..
McGOWn would be returned TO the legis-
lature. The statement was greeted with
shouts al acclamation-
stevens Defends Measure.
H. b. Stevens. explaining his stand
on the question, said that he had ap-
proved the law, and that he still APP
proved of it, and he believed that when
the changes suggested by the Insurance
companies to effect Standardization Of
specified lions were made in FL PasO,
the city would enjoy the lowest rates ii
had eTer had. The Texas law was pat
termed after the Kansas insurance law,
under which the rates in that state had
been greatly reduced. Oily recently, he
said, the state of Nebraska sent a
ccLlni sion TO Kansas to study the law
hnd its Ivol kings with a view to max
ing q similar insurance law for the
state of Nebraska.
Other talks were many by property
owners present. and nearly all voiced
the sentiment that the new ratings for
FL Paso are unjust and unreasonable
and favored an early movement for
remedial measures.
After the passage of the motion au-
thorizing the appointment OF a commit
tee of nine to decide what steps it was
best TO take in the matter, the meeting
adjourned.

OPPOSITION To Dam
MAS THROUGH
IGNORANCE
When People Learned Exact
Situation, They Were in
Favor of 1t.

w. A. SutherlandS experience in the
Philippines, where he Learned to talk
Spanish, was the indirect cause of turn
ing the tide OF feeling in the Albu-
querque irrigation meeting in favor OF
the sOuthwest's great irriga ton project,
the Elephant-Butt> dam.
The Mexicans who own land in the
territory above the Elephant Butte dam
had been told that the dam was con-
trary TO their financial interests, and
that the government would take away
what water rights they had enjoyed, so
they came to the convention with inten-
tion Of voting for a condemnation of the
project, but Mr. Sutherland presented
the real situation IN Spanish, and the
Mexican farmers voted as a unit In
favor of the irrigation project
W. NJ. Reed, district engineer of the
reclamation service, attended the meet
ing to present the governments side to
the question, being called there by
friends of the project for that purpose
He returned 10 FL Paso Friday evening
The people Of Las Cruces deserve
a lot of credit for the gratifying result
OF the meeting" ne said The meeting
was called % knock the project, but
the Las Cruces delegation arrived in
several days before the
meeting and began an active campaign
of education, and it bore fruit in the
resolutions favoring the irrigation
plant"
1T should be understood" continued
Mr.. Reed, that the best people of AL
buquerque were not back of the con-
movement. Attorneys repre-
senting private interests went among
the Mexican farmers and imposed upon
their ignorance by telling them that
the government would take away the
water rights that they already pos
sessed and they came to the meeting
ready TO do what they could TO knife

law of humans. Every once in
awhile, however there is born a
horse who thinks he is entitled to
his own opinion, and his fayorite
way of asserting himself is in kick
ing the dashboard to bits. Two Mis-
souri, men have devised a harness
which is warranted to cure this habit
Straps cross the horses back and
breast and at their functions are fas-
tened the ends of ropes which engage
the fetlocks of the animals hind legs
in running loops. The other end of
the ropes are fastened to staples in
the horses stall or to some other sta
tionary object in front Of which he Is
tied. The result, is that when a horse
is trussed up in this manner, If he
tries to kick he find he cannot get his
hind feet beyond a certain point. and
after making a number OF in ehectual
efforts he becomes discouraged. If
he is a particularly bad kicker lie
can be goaded into making these at
tempts until his spirit is broken in
that respect.
