INSURANCE BUSINESS
FALLS OFF IN 1914

Santa Fe, y. N, March 27.-Last year
was a disastrous one for the fire insur-
ance companies in New Mexico For the
first time loses incurred by them passed
the 500, 900 mark. reaching a total OF
S540,157-S6. or Sc percent OF the prem
iums collected
Since 1882 New Mexico property own
ers have paid S9,3S3.431 in fire insur-
ance premiums while the fire losses
paid have tOtaled S5,O275182. II is sig
nificant that the risks written last year
were only S36,507S22 as against S43.-
25O. $50 in 1911, while the premiums
paid have declined from S603, 81 in 1908
to S565,377 last year.
The last four years have cut the bust
ness Of the life assessment insurance
companies in New Mexico almost one
half, according to the figures given out
by the state corporation commission.
In 1911, those companies had in force
IN New Mexico 62S policies amounting
to Sl,249, 600 as against 800 policies last
year amounting to only s614.5OO. How
ever, the premiums collected last year
were larger than ever, amounting to

CARSCUT
PRICE TO3C CENTS
Not in FL Paso, but Else
where, in Fight; Jitneman
Talks of Plans Here.

Reports reaching FL Paso from the
north are that certain of the street
railway lines in northern cities are
considering a plan to reduce the fare
for specified districts to three cents. it
being thought that this cut will de-
prive the JItnes of a lot Of business
which they are now getting and which
the street car companies think they
should have.
The plan. it is understood here. Is
that eight tickets be sold for % cents
these tickets to be accepted during
certain hours and over short distances
only 1t is said to have originated in
Vancouver, b. G, where the 1itnes are
making an awful cut in the receipts Of
the street railway company. A few
years ago, the Vancouver street rail-
way sold eight tickets for a Quaraer,
but limited the hours Of use from 6 TO
s a. m and TO p m About a year
ago, che ticket system was abolished
and straight five cent fare charged
The new plan would mean going back
TO the old system, except that the
three cent fare would not entitle
passenger TO ride more than one mile
and no transfers would be given.
Los Angeles, too, is said TO be con-
sidering this same plan. The jitnes
have made their biggest raids on the
treasures Of the Los Angeles. san
Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Van
cOuver companies.
Asked what the local jitne men
would do il the FL Paso street railway
should adopt a similar system Of fight
ing the jitnes, it was said at the office
Of the Public Service company today
that the cut would be met.
IF street railways can carry pas
sengers mile for three cents, so can
we said one Of the drivers They
are talking a lot about the jitnes tax
ing only the cream Of the business on
short runs, but they seem to overlook
the fact that our cars run out TO
Highland Park and also to other local
tiles in the outskirts Of the city II il
wasn't for the jitnes. many Of these
people would have TO walk
About transfers. Well, YOU must
realize that the jitne business is still
in its infancy. The time will come
when we viii be able to arrange for
transfers from any line to any other
line in the city. OF course il a person
wants TO 90 from Montana street to
the park he must pay 10 cents under
the present system, for he would have
TO pacronize two separate lines. We
are working things out gradually and.
in time. the jitne business will be Just
as well organized as the street rail-
ways
Except for the transfers. we already
give every bit as good service as the
street railway. There has been some
talk Of the cars turning back to town
when the last passenger is dropped and
not going to the end Of the line. We
have certain cars that run through on
enough TO accommodate the passen-
gers they carry and then double back
TO town for another load. We can't say
what the independent drivers are do
ing. but all the men in the three as
sociations run on distinct schedule"

Deep Snows in Central

Geneva, Switzerland. March 27.-Not
