talk five minutes through public
telephone from the street corners in
the larger cities within the radius
of the city, or suburban service. Few

phone to private monopoly. Govern

generally approved by leaders of all
parties.
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 su-
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 hot-house politics.
Socialism Partially In Force.
Socialists and Anti-Socialists In
Australia" said w. M. Hughes. labor
member of parliament and former at
torney general, have the most ex-
traordinary ideas Of what socialism
really Is. 1t Is not something to be
brought about by act Of parliament
or by vote. 1t is growth just as Q
boy grows into a man. Socialism will
come In Australia but by slow growth
Complete collectivism, when we ge
that far, will appear the most ordinary
natural and inevitable thing in the
world for those who live under 1t
Many will think 1t a perfect system
and others will object to 1t, but by al
it will be regarded as perfectly
natural. Socialism, which, as I under
stand it. means the substitution o.

must have a gown, girlish in deaign,

1t is merely question of degree.

SHARE FARMING IN AUSTRALIA
Plan That Seems Worth Copying is
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, IL 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 a season or for q
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 fol
his share.
Up to a specified yield Of the croI
the owner and farmer take equa
shares; any excess becomes the prop
erty of the farmer as a bonus to en-
courage good and thorough farming
This method of working large areas 1!
Invariably a success where the ar
rangement is drawn up on truly CO
operative basis, and is one of the mos
satisfactory ways of working large es
tates. Share farming enables a settle
with little mony at his disposal to &C
cumulate enough means to buy Ian
of his own.

Friendly Fish.

A curious instance of the familiarity
Of fishes with human beings has been
observed in Portland, Ore, at the Uni
ted States barge office. The official
boat is kept at the end OF the wharf.
Some time ago one Of the boatmen
began to notice a fish about eight
inches long. and resembling carp
that seemed to wish to scrape acquain-
lance. The fish would come up to the
top OF the water whenever the man ap-
peared, and did not seem to be at all
afraid. After time all the men got to
know the fish; and began to take
friends to see him. At first he might
not be in sight. but he would very
soon appear and frisk around near the
surface. Once or twice he has come
80 close as to rub his nose against
the boatman's hand, and the men are
waiting further Developments.
