MANY VISIT CAIRO
Tourists Heed the Call Of Egypt's
Attractions.
Present Season Promises to Be Ono
of the Best Egyptian City Has
Had for Many Years--Vis-
itors Catered To.

Cairo.-The present season promises
to be one of the best Cairo has had for
several years. The hotels are nearly
full and the Nile steamers are already
nearly all let. OF late years the ter
rible Khamsin winds have not set in
until late in May, and conditions gen.
orally have improved very considera-
bly, during the past few years.
One can now land at Alexandria and
motor up to Cairo, where a car is to-
day of the greatest utility for dashing
out to Heliopolis for concerts, aviation
and other attractions; for running
over to Helouan, the suburb favored
by the late khedive; for making an ex-
cursion along the Pyramids road con-
structed for the opening of the Suez
canal by that master organizer, Ismail
Pasha, to Mena house, at the foot of the
Pyramid Of Cheops; for visiting the
Barrage, with its medieval superstruc-
ture and it's picturesque gardens, and
even for taking trips along the old
Suez or the Alexandria road.
The tastes of visitors and residents
are amply catered to all over Egypt,
especially in Cairo, which, by reason
of It's being the hub of the official
world. is also naturally the social CEN

SHARE FARMING IN AUSTRALIA
Plan That Seems Worth Copying IL
Especially Successful With Big
Wheat Crops.

In view of the fact that the estimate
Of the present seasons wheat crop OF
New South Wales is set down at near
ly forty-two million bushels, exceeding
last seasons record by nearly nine and
one-half million bushels, it is proof OF
the value of the share farming that a
considerable number of the wheat
farms of New South Wales, and par.
ticularly the large ones, are worked
on what Is known in Australia as the
Shares" system.
Under this system farmer possess.
ing the necessary team and implement
arranges with the land owner to crop
a certain area for season or for a
number of seasons. The usual form
Of agreement provides that the land
owner shall provide land, seed, two
thirds Of the manure, where manure Is
used, and bags for his share. The
farmer does the cultivating and har-
Vesting, using his own plant: provides
one.third of the manure, and bags for
his share.
Up to a specified yield Of the crop
the owner and farmer take equal
shares; any excess becomes the prop.
erty of the farmer as bonus to en-
courage good and thorough farming.
This method of working large areas Is
invariably q success where the ar
rangement is drawn up on a truly CO.
operative basis, and is one of the most
satisfactory ways of working large es-
tates. Share farming enables settler
with little mony at his disposal to &C.
cumulate enough means to buy land
of his own.

TO MAKE AN EFFORT
TOWARD TAX REVISION
GOV. HALL ISSUES STATEMENT
CORRECTING A POPULAR
MISUNDERSTANDING.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.--To correct the i'm
preston which seems to prevail that
he would not bring the subject Of tax
reform at the coming session of the
legislature Gov. Hall issued the fol-
lowing statement:
IAN impression appears to have
arisen that no legislation will be at
tempted at the coming session Of the
General Assembly on the subject of
assessments. This is due to a mis-
understanding.
There are certain evils Of the
present system that had been RENE
died so far as they can be without the
adoption of an entire new plan. To
undertake a radical revision of our
system, or, rather, lack of system, of
assessment and taxation as was at.
tempted in 1912 would require the
submission Of a number of constitu-
tional amendments. Our experience
in 1912 teaches that an effort thus
to devise a new plan or system pro-
duces so much confusion and there
are so many interests to oppose any
change whatever that it will be i'm
possible without a thorough campaign
to secure it's adoption. Besides. the
General Assembly would probably not
have the opportunity in the rush of
q regular session to give the subject
the thorough consideration that its
Importance would require"

San Bernardino, Cal.-Since the re-
cent heavy north wind there have
been thousands Of butterflies OBJ
served in the city, many of them of
different species than usually seen
on this side Of the range.
Particularly noticeable is a brown
butterfly of a species peculiar to the
Death Valley region and never seen
this side of the mountains.
1t is believed the heavy winds on
the desert blew the insects over the
mountains and their presence here
can be accounted for in no other
way.
Their appearance has been of great
interest, especially to men who are
used to travelling the desert, and WIN

Lake Charles.-The sale of small
quantity of rice by the Southern Rice
Growers Association marked the end
of the 1913 rice season so far as the
farmers are concerned Practically
all of the rice, except that saved for
seed, is now out of their hands, due
to the buying campaign by the mills
beginning about the first of March
after a depressing winter. In the past
60 days probably 100000 sacks have
been bought in the three southwestern
parishes, at fair, though not bonanza,
prices.
Planting for the 1914 crop is pro-
ceeding very slowly, owing to the
cold spring and frequent rains, and
only a small part of the acreage is
planted 1t Is estimated that the south
west Louisiana acreage will be fully

be somewhat curtailed. Only in Ark

Railroads Poorly Managed.
AS to the wisdom Of complete ma
tionaliZation of railways there is con-
siderable dispute, though the oppo-
nents of naturalization are apparently
in small minority. There are sug-
gestions that private capital be en-
couraged by grants Of land or other
bonuses to build lines of railway in
the vast interior OF Australia where
the states have as yet been unwilling
or unable to do so. Another sugges-
tion is made that the state owned
railways be, as in India. leased, under
suitable restrictions, for operation to
private companies. But neither sug.
gestion has any considerable political
support. The railway service is crude,
its finances are muddled and it has
followed in the development Of the
country, rather than, as in the United
States, preceded and brought about
this development. The back blocks
have not as many votes as the SUI
burbs of Sydney, Brisbane and Mel
bourne or the city wards. An ap-
parent improvement Is noticeable in
the railway service and the general
management shows betterment. The
politician, through the pressure of an
enlightened public opinion, is coming.
though slowly, to regard the railway
systems as non-political enterprises.
The evils Of the system have been
largely due to dollhouse politics.
Socialism Partially In Force.

traordinary ideas of what socialism
really is. 1t Is not something to be
brought about by act Of parliament
or by vote. 1t is a growth just as a
boy grows into man. Socialism will
come in Australia but by slow growth.
Complete collectivtsm. when we get
that far, will appear the most ordinary,
natural and inevitable thing in the
world for those who live under 1t.
Many will think it a perfect system

natural. Socialism, which, as under.

cooperation for competition, will re-
place individualism gradually but
surely because 1t is the fittest to sur
vive. The belief that socialism can
be achieved by any coup, violent or
peaceful, can only be entertained by
those who fail utterly to understand
not only what socialism is but what
those factors which make for change
are. The Lambeth conference COM
mittee wisely concluded that any sys-
tenn of social reconstruction may be
called socialism, which aims at unit
ing labor and the instruments Of la
Dor Gland and capitaD whether by
means Of the state or the cooperation
Of the poor Modern socialism Is
here; less robust, less complex, less
comprehensive, than it will be in the
years to come, but 1t is here. Just as
boy is less robust than a man, and,
in the sense that boy is not man,
socialism is not here now and, in the
sense that boy is man, socialism
is here in Australia now"
All Parties Socialistic.
AS to the progress toward a larger
socialism, 1T is our policy" said the
secretary of the Sydney labor coun-
Gil, "to hold what we possess and
strive for more. What the Sydney
working people, for example, want
just now is house room at moderate
rental and this can be secured only
by the government building cottages
