WEATHER SUMMARY FOR
1918 SHOWS MUCH SNOW

The Annual Weather Summary OF
the Weather Bureau at Santa Fe, for
the state, for 1918, just issued, shows
that the temperature for the year
was 52.l degrees, being only 06 below
normal, and that the precipitation
was 1903 inches, only 0.O4 below
normal
1t therefore appears that the drouth
in certain sections was due partly
to unequal distribution and partly
to the fact that there was heavy
precipitation late in the fall when
it was not beneficial to crops or
ranges.
The snowfall in the high mountains
on the eastern border of Taos and
western border of Colfax counties
was the greatest ever recorded
reaching the enormous total of ex-
actly "a feet.

To The People Of New Mexico

Inc state Corporation commission
believing it was serving the best in
terests of New Mexico citizenship
has been lending its efforts in behalf
OF securing for the travelling public
OF our state the same basis Of las-
senger rates that is in force upoa
federal controlled railroads in every
state OF the Union except Arizona.
New Mexico and Nevada. This con-
ccssion as a factor to the total earn
ings OF any Railroad system is neg
ligble yet to the local travelling pub
lie of the state it equals reduction
OF Is per cent.
That this rate il made effective
will discourage the building Of rail-
roads is nonsense. No projected
railroads will estimate passenger
earnings as any considerable factor
in determining profitable operations.
furthermore, the three-cent rate
would not necessarily apply to new
and short line. Of road whose busi-
ness would not justify the threc-eent
basis as is evidenced by the policy
OF allowing the Rocky Mountain to
charge five cents. New Mexico Cen
trail five cents. D. & R. G. five cents.
Arizona and New Mexico five cents.
Such eminent authorities a. f. l.
Chambers, former Vice President of
the Santa Fe System of the Traf-
fic Department and Judge c. A.
Prouty. former member Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. now
both directors of divisions of the u.
S Ra lroad administration. agree
that New Mexico is entitled to three
cent passenger fare rate for local
business. Is there any sense i'll say
ing that it should cost one cent per
mile more TO carry passenger bet
wecn Trinidad and FL Paso than be-
tween Las Vegas and Las Cruces9
The Corporation Commission earn
estly desires to fulfill the wishes of
the people of this state. 1t has no.
ticed some adverse newspaper critic
ism as to the adyisability OF secur-
ing the reduction of the present pas
senger fares on trunk line railroads
from four cents to three cents. We
will be glad to act along lines agree
able to the wishes Of the people OF
the state whom we recognize as pos
sessng the directing authority. II
the Commission has acted unwisely
in this regard and it is the desire OF
the people Of the state that passenger
fares should remain as at present we
would be glad to be advised OF that
fact that we may be governed accord
ngly to which end we invite the at
tention of commercial organizations
and citizens generally that due con-
sderation be given and communica-
tions be sent to this office, which
will be cordially received.
