INSTRUCTIONS TO
INSURANCE CONCERNS

The state insurance department has
issued new instructions to insurance
companies. 1t has been found that
agents in few cases have written
business in New Mexico, though they
were residents Of another state and
had not been authorized to write
such business Superintendent OF In
surance Remijio Mirabal has just sent
out the following instructions:
Section 2820 of the Code of 1915
specifically prohibits the making,
writing, placing or causing to be made
written or placed in this state of any
insurance policy or contract OF any
kind to provide against any conting-
ency which may be insured or guar
anteed against unless the same shall
be made, written or placed through
regularly appointed and authorized
agent, a resident of this state.
ut has come to the attention of
this department that companies have
been writing business covering in this
state through their agents outside of
the state and then sending same to
some resident agent for countersig-
nature.
'It has been repeatedly held by the
attorney general of this state that
countersignature is not a compliance
with this law as contracts must be
executed and placed through the
books of a company's agent who is
a resident of this state.
"Any company found violating this
law will be subject TO the penalty
prescribed"

MORE ROAD PROJECT
STATEMENTS READY

The state highway department ha:
begun construction OF the Farming
ton-Albuquerque road. J. c. Harvey
district engineer, is in charge of this
work. A force of men and construc-
,ion outfit is working out from Ber.
nalillo in Candoval County.
Two Federal aid projects state
ments have been completed and sent
to the Secretary of Agriculture for
approval.
Project No. 40 in Otero involves
IS miles of road, beginning at the
west side of the Mescalero Apache
Indian reservation and extending to-
wards Tularosa. The road will serve
an important section of the county,
give the Indian agency an outlet to
the railroad, and form a link in the
Borderland route. The estimated
cost $ls,03l.50.
Project No. 43 in Torrance Coun-
ty involves seventeen miles between
Mountainair and Willard. This is a
section of state road No. 10 from
Texico and Clovis to Belen. This sec.
ton is only a primitive trail with
out drainage at present. The estimat-
ed cost is $4,000. This road will
benefit the Estancia valley very ma
terially.

President Filadelfo Baca, of the
Spanish-American Normal School at
Ell Rito, Rio Arrba county, stopped
over one day in the Capital City on
his return from the Teachers Asso-
citation meeting at Albuquerque.
Mr. Baca informed the State Record
that the attendance this year con-
sists of 48 boarders and so day schol-
ars, the latter mostly residents OF
FL Rito. The boarders consist OF
nearly 30 from other towns in Rio
Arriba county, and 20 from outside
Of the county, coming from Taos,
Mora, San Miguel, etc, and 4 from
as far as Union.
There are five instructors besides
Mr.. Baca and the attendants are
making spendid progress in their
studies. The disciplin is eNcellent and
the school is making progress in
many ways. The chief handicap to
doing still better is the lack of suf-
ficient funds for needed equipment
and other improvements.

CHAIRMAN B. M. READ
DOING EFFICIENT WORK

Hon. Benjamin M. Read, who is
acting as chairman of the Red Cross
Christmas Stamp sale for Santa Fe
county, has bult up remarkably
efficient organization.
Most of the ladies' and all of the
children in this city are interested
in, are talking. and selling, or try
ing to sell, stamps and bonds
The proceeds from the sales go
toward the prevention and cure of
tuberculosis and about 81 per cent
of the money raised in New Mexico
will be spent in this state for this
purpose.
1t is surely a worthy cause and
deserves liberal support from the
people generally, particularly from
those in localities like Santa Fe, that
have a climate which is beneficial
to sufferers from that alment.
The "cheap talk" to the effect that
there is any graft" connected with
the gathering or expenditure of this
money is challenged by Mr.. Read
and every one else who knows any
thing about the generous sacrifices
made by those who give their time
and labor to the work without re-
ward other than the consciousness
of having done their duty.

RADICAL UNlONlSM
AND CAPITAL

! Radical unionism continually dwells
upon the dangerous mines laid BY
the Capitalist class" He has no
friendship tor the employer who has
demonstrated his friendship toward
organized labor. He believes every
man who is ambitious to become
factor in the world of business, who
saves few dollars to begin with,
Immediately becomes an enemy to
the cause OF labor. The new EN-.
ployer, Notwithstanding his sympa.
thies have been with his union, finds
himself forced to the other side OF
the imaginary line, No matter what
he may do or say, he is, perforce,
an enemy from this time on. As
a natural consequence he begins to
erect barriers around his business,
becomes a greater or lesser oppon-
ent of his trade union, in the desire
to protect himself from the rabid
measures urged by his erstwhile com
panion, from whom he has a right

While he acknowledges there is

reason why amcable relations should
not continue. He recognizes the en-
ployer has some rights, and that col

maximum benefit at a minimum OF

Still, he is impressed with a vague

STATE HIGHWAY OFF,
GALS IN CONVENTION

The American Association of State
Highway Officials will have its Con-
vention in Louisville, Ky, opening
Monday the 9th and continuing for
four days. Leslie A. Gillett, state
highway engineer. left Thursday to
attend the meeting. The program
of the convention covers the whole
field of highway construction. Es-
Qecial attention, however, will be
given the Federal aid feature. The
different road bills now before Con-
gress will be fully discussed includ-
ing the much talked of Townsend
bill and its substitute. Mr.. Gillett
will also present to the convention
the matter of equalizing Federal aid
for the public lands states of the
west. The present laws provide Fed
Ieral cooperation in all states on a
fifty-fifty basis. The state must meet
Federal allotments dollar for dollar.
This system works a severe hard
ship on states where there are large
areas of public land through which
highways are being built, these lands
contributing nothing to such i'm
provement. 1t seems only fair that
the public lands should bear their
proportion of the cost of roads that
directly benefit them. Here in New
Mexico the area of public lands is
AZ per cent of the total area of the
state. Nearly every Federal aid pro-
ject now initiated in New Mexico
passes through districts where much
public land is owned by the govern
ment. 1t is proposed that the states
proportion of the cost of Federal
aid projects in New Mexico shall be
reduced according to the percentage
of public land held in the state. 1t
is likely that the west will be solidly
for such an adjustment.

APPLICATIONS FOR
PUBLIC WATERS FILED

The following have filed notice
with the state engineer that they
propose to file formal application for
permit to appropriate water for ir-
rigation and other purposes:
Nellie Gray of Chicago, ILL.,, desir es
to appropriate 10000 acre feet OF
water by diversion and storage from
the Rio Hondo, Rio Lucero. and
Arroyo Seco, tributaries of the Rio
Grande in Taos County to irrigate
10000 acres in the Antonio MARTINEZ
grant west of the mountains and not
at present under irrigation. The

TIME EXTENDED FOR
LAS VEGAS PROJECT

The Board of Trustees of the town
of Las Vegas, administering the Las
Vegas grant, has been granted an
extension of time to complete tine
irrigation project under construction
on the grant. The state engineer
Leslie A. Gillett finds that the re-
quest recently filed warranted the
granting of further time.
In the affidavits filed to show the
need of further time to complete the
irrigation works, it is stated that
the works are ninety per cent finish
ed. $SWO0C0 has already been
spent. The contractor X. {. Storrie
& Company began work in the spring
of 1916. But construction has been
very seriously hampered the past two
years by labor shortage The last
season unusual rains through the
summer also delayed construction
very much. 1t is therefore impossible
to complete the project by Septem-
Der |, 1920.
An extension has been granted to
December l, 1920 to complete the ir-
rigation works and until December I,
1921 to complete the water rights.
This project is on the Gallinas river
tributary of the Pecos River, about
four miles above Las Vegas.
1t contemplates the irrigation of
over $1,000 acres of land, largely
through the use of storage reservoirs.
The largest reservoir. the Sangui-
juela, has a capacity of over 1900
acre feet. This reservoir is already
holding much water and some irri-
CATION was done the past season
The report shows that crops were
harvested this year from 37s acres.
This fall about 1000 acres was seed
ed to winter wheat, 100 acres plant
ed in alfalfa, and 200 acres made
ready for crop. There will be con-
siderable increase in the cultivated
area under this project in 1920.

The state corporation commission
has given the Santa Fe railway per-
mission to discontinue Sunday ser

fixed at 90 days.
Residents of Cimarron protested
against the discontinuance and the
state corporation commission carried
their protests to the Santa Fe. They
were said to be willing that the
service be stopped. provided it was
only temporary and intended to con-
serve coal and on that ground tenn
porary permission was given for an
nulling the Sunday trains.

PROTEST FILED AGAINST
WATER APPLICATION

Protest against allowing the appli.
cation for water from Moreno creek
in Colfax of John Mcbride has been
filed with the state engineer. The
protest is made by Frank II. Jones
trustee in bankruptcy of the Orc
DR. cdging Company. 1t is stated that
the diversion point of the applicant
is on the land of the dredging com
pany and that this will interfere with
the company's placer mining The
lands are valuable principally for
placer mining. the company having
recovered more than S3D0000O0 OF
gold bsfore the bankruptcy. lnstalla-
tion of irrigation works would bar
resumption of placer mining and
therefore damage the business OF the
dredging company. The state engine
er is having the matter under advise

The burning OF the structure occu-
pied by Chauvin's paint store. may
hasten the building of the new hotel
proposed for that corner. 1t was
stated that one hitch in the negoti-
alton for the property was the price
asked for the old building that stood
on the site. The company that hopes
to erect the hotel had no use for the
building, and it was too valuable to
be given away by its owners.
A. Chauvin, owner of the paint
store, is the heaviest loser as his
stock was not adequately covered by
insurance. and to all appearances is
a total loss. The stock was valued
at 5000 The fire, it is believed,
started from a stove in the rear of
the store-AlbuquerQue Herald.
