NEW SANTURCE CARRETERA TC
BE FINISHED THIS YEAR.
Sections Of New Street From San
Antonio Bridge to Martin Pena are
Already Completed.

With the construction of the new car
retera which is to run parallel with the
main carretera, properly known as Ponce
de Leon avenue, and which is TO extend
from Miramar to Martin Pena, SAINT rec
will take on a new aspect, and residents
may be justified in hoping for better
things in the way of traffic safety at
least.
The congested condition Of he main
carretera has been a problem for many
years putt g the lives of school children,
and in fact OF the average pedestrian, in
jeopardy and making the avoiding Of
motor collisions almost impossible. 1t is
believed chat the new carretera will do
much to relieve this situation, and as it
is to be a mode n city streef with side
walks, and parking, it win add largely
to the appearance of that part of the
city.
In a report from the office of the Com
missioner of the Interior it is stated that
the construction Of this CO rrelera was
begun the latter part of last September,
and the work of construction has been
carried on as rapidly as possible in spite
of the difficulties which have ar sen such
as the trouble of obtaining materials and
strikes :"
This carretera is to branch out from
the main carretera near TO San Antonio
bridge. From there it will cross the
trolley line and continue west, ward to
Miramar as far as Congress street. At

Politicians
By CHESTER T. oRowELL
In THE Independent"

tNote: ANY person who may con-
clude that this essay by Mr.. Croweh
Is cribbed from The independent,
with full credit. and published here
for the purpose of pointing out any
possible resemblance to the campaign
OF Mr.. X. II. Hanna on the stump. or
to the campaign in his support by
Colonel Cutting, Mr.. Magee and the
Seligman Press bureau, is on wronB
This is a gem and Is printed because
OF its own fuster.)
BY way OF contrast. let US consider
the ordinary, garden variety, run.ol-
mill politician:
He charges frightful waste of pub
lie money, both when It Is true and
when II is not true.
lie charges abuse OF power in. al
most every campaign, whether II is
is true or not true.
He charges domination OF the hdI
mlnistration by selfish interests.
whether II is true or not true.
He makes violent, scandnlous
charges against the good name OF his
opponent. whether It is true or not
true.
In brief. charges which might very
well be made the basis OF impeaeh-
ment are the ordinary claptrap OF al-
most every contest, from constable
on up.
After having made charges which
bear out nearly every assertion OF the
bolsheviki against our form OF gov
ernmen., our eloquent candidate
closes his address with a soul-stirring
plea for 100 per cent AmericanlsIn.
II Is to laugh. Our brave candidate
ioathes and despises the socialists
He would put the belsheviki In Jail
or hurl them into the sea. Ills heart
throbs with patriotism. lac froths at
the mouth with Amoricanism. But
his hatred OF the bolshevikt and So
ciallsts is quite evidently based large
ly upon the fact that they are silly
enough to believe what he says about
the administration Of our public af-
fairs.

Why The Company Is Increasing Its Capital

Their respective States IN order that they may go after the
eight billions ($80O00O00000 Of insurance which last
year was rejected because Of impairment.
This company does not say how much Of this insurance can
seceo what portion desires to wne-bu we do know that
eare date practically the only real substandard company
and that upon the payment Of lis increase capital and It's
operation upon national basis its 1921 production viii not go
below the $3500000000 mark, thereby increasing its an
nual premium income to more than ST 100000.
There are many different definitions Of the word OPPORTU
NITY-but we know Of nothing that spells OPPORTUNITY
IN more glowing terms Of dividends than this limited offering
Of the TwoRepuBcs stock NOta penny Of this amount goes
to promotion, every dollars goes INTO the treasury Of the
company
Read carefully the comparative statement Of the company
think over IN your own mind what the future holds nstore for
itas great national institution Of finance and insurance what

conclusion regarding an investment this stock, as hefoow-

Million Foreign Dollars Annually Soon Begin Pouring Into FL Paso


The Two Republics Life Insurance
Company IS offering for public sub
scipdon in FL Paso $50 shares Of its
capital stock. This constitutes three
additional units Of SIS, 100000 each,
par value, to be paid IN on or before
December 10th, 1920, thereby IN
ueasing its capital from $l25,-
10000 to $2OO,OOO.OO, also, giving
the company an added surplus at the
price we are quoting it.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1920-10-27

The reason Of the increase that the company desires TO com
ply with the requirements Of many outside States and that
may complete agency contracts now pending IN them.
Themsrance laws governing the operation Of insurance com
panes IN several States we desire to enter make necessary
that the minimum capital Of an insurance company be $780,
00000 Since the entrance Of the company INTO the sub
standard field underwriting, the position which now occu-
pies has aroused national interest upon the part Of insurance
men and at this time the company has agency applications
from practically every state IN the Union Ihsmeans that IN
the Two Republics Life Insurance Company Ell Paso has here
annstudon which IS soon to operate on national basis
The Company'S Phenomenal Growth
Up 10 September Of 1919 the company had 50 286 O66OO
Of insurance IN force 1t viii close this year with more than
$70OO0OO0Omforce Its ratio Of increase for this, as com
pared with last year, IS $3.50 In spite Of the phenomenal
increase Of its agency force and Of its BUSINESS the prorata
