ARRAL
HAS GREAT VOICE

There is a demand among the people
to see and hear Madame Arral, the
famous French singer, who appears at
the Opera House next Tuesday night.
They want to hear her because she
comes with a great reputation, which
she fully lives up to; to see her be
cause of her wonderfully romantic ca
reer Wherever she goes she creates a
furore. She is admired by the theater-
going people for her excellent acting
and beautiful voice. Her appearance
here next Tuesday viii impress the
Honolulu people with the fact that they
have missed hearing one of the best of
the great operate singers through the
failure of Madame Arral TO visit here
before. The program viii include some
of the best pieces in her repertoire, Sc
lections that viii please.

interest:
Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Mrs Matte Bright Sackwitz, Homo
lulu, Hawaii.
Dear Mrs Sackwitz; The Bay View
Club of Chagrin Falls has asked me,
as corresponding secretary, to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your very in
teresting letter to us, through Mrs
Brewster. 1t was read at one of the
club meetings and thoroughly enjoyed,
and We all appreciate the kind effort
you have made to bring Honolulu Il
little nearer and more real Natural
ly, we, as Americans, are interested in
our new possessions, but our studies in
the Bay View Club during the past
year have wonderfully increased our
interest-and now your letter, written
by one well known to many of the
members, has verified all that We have
read concerning your beautiful islands.
They seem to US, so far away, as en-
chanted Let US hope some of~us may
some time in the future have the
pleasure of visiting the Hawaiian Is
lands and seeing for ourselves their
beauties.
Thanking you for your kindness,
am. very sincerely,
SUE DEAN HUBBELL.

Day Of Cheap Farm Lands Passed.

Lands in Central West Texas
may appear high to some pros
pectors, but it is cheaper than it
will ever be in the future.
Again, at the present price, two
acres can be bought for what one
acre will cost in the longer set
tied sections of the state, and it
is just as fertile and productive,
to say nothing Of the advantage
of being able to cultivate two
acres with the same amount of
labor that would be required for
one acre elsewhere. Abilene Re
porter.
PanicS may come and panics
may 90, but farm lands in Texas
will never be cheaper than now.
The day of cheap land, as we
once understood the term in
Texas, is past. The man who
can buy a home and puts it off
until prices are lower is, in plain
English, a fool. The law of pro
gress has not broken down and
left us with present conditions
and present values on our hands.
Every community in Texas has
its quota of misanthropes who
will tell you how so many years
ago they could have bought what

Low Tax Rate.

With state tax rate for general
purposes reduced from 20 cents
to ct cents, the state school tax
reduced from 20 cents to IS 2-3
cents, with the per capita school
apportionment raised from S. to
ST. %. with county tax rates re-
duced from one third to one half,
and with assessed values nowhere
increased in greater ratio-all
within two years-is a pretty
fair vindication of the policy of
full rendition inaugurated by the
Thirtieth legislation.
Total tax collections have not
been increased except by the
normal increases in legitimate
public expenditures, and these
expenditures are more than offset
by the natural increase in
wealth.
The critics pretended to fear
that the rate would not be re-
duced in proportion to the in
crease in assessments, albeit
they knew that the law required
all automatic reduction in the
state rate, and they should have
known that public opinion would
compel county commissioners to
make like reductions in local
rates.
Anyhow, experience has dem
onstrated the efficiency and

ly they could have bought prop
erty in 1903. Here and there
boomers and spectators may
have advanced the price of land
beyond the present values, but
on the whole land is cheap any

This is especially true of farm
land, for, while there is no war
rant for saying that the move
mcnt from the country to the eli
ties has been reversed, signs are
not wanting which Indicate
an early tendency in this direc-
ton. Boys have all left the
farms because they could make
more money in the cities, and the
tide will set the other way just
as soon as it becomes apparent
that they can make as much or
more money in the country. The
present high price of all farm
products, together with the
cheapened cost Of production,
brought about by modern ma
chinery and improved cultural
methods, is bringing prosperity
to the American farmer and
countless thousands of over
worked men and countless other
thousands of unemployed are
turning eager eyes toward the
farm.
The cheapest farm lands in
the world are in Texas. Lands
capable of producing as much as
the high-priccd farm lands of
Illinois, Iowa, and Kansas, can
be bought in Texas to-day at
from SO to S2J per acre. This

OF course, we have not reached
perfect equality, but we have
made gratifying progress in that
direction, and recalcitrant coun-
ties and property owners will be
more and more pursuaded from
year to year to do the fair thing.
The whole state, including even
the tax dodgers, feel better. 1t
is a comfort to a community as
well as to an individual, to ex-
perience the sensation of being
fair with the tax assessor.
Fairness and self-respect aside,
it is a great advertisement for
Texas to announce values in the
amount of two billions of dollars,
with state tax rate of 6 IA
cents for general purposes, a
school rate of 16 2-3 cents, local
rates of from 81 to - cents, and
a school apportionment of 500
per capita. Wise men seeking
investment or location may be
easily pursuaded to come to a
state Offering such fiscal attrac-
fractions.
Will the knockers, calamity

have been abusing the laws and
government of TEXAS have the
patriotism and the decency to
tell these agreeable truths about
Texas?
The Record takes some com
fort in the fact that it has been
able to discern the outcome of |
an honest attempt at full rem

a popular thing to do in North
Texas, where assessments were
so much lower than real value,
but the experience again teaches
the lesson that courageous and
