Uruguay Would
Divide Large
Private Estates

Montcvideo Nov. 10.-With the OBJ
Ject of forcing the sub division of the
immense landed estates III Uruguay,
and at the same time to promote
agriculture and stock breeding, the
! Minister of Industries, DR.. Luis
CaviGlia, las drafted q bill to apply
Il special sliding scale land tax upon
all estates of more than 1000 hectares
j,000 acres. The scale slides up
ward per thousand hectares, but ex-
emption Of the half or the whole of
the tax is offered if the proprietors
comply with certain conditions to
| make the land productive.
The measure is of special interest
to all the countries of the River Plate
in which enormous landed estates,
largely idle and tCnaciously held by
| their wealthy proprietors. are COM
mon, and thus far Legislators have
not been successful in finding consti-
tutional methods of breaking them
up foH disposal to settlers and small
farmers and prcvcntil-, their forma =
ton in the future.
The conditions for exemption pro-
posed by DR.. Cav;slia arc that Ger
tain percentages of the estates be
devoted to agriculture, dairying or
stock breeding. They fix the stand
ards of the stocks in the case Of
stock breeding, and specify what
equipment shall be necessary.
The bill will be considered by the
National Council of Administration
before being presented to congress.

state TO manage successfully. Poiiti-
cal interests have been permitted too
much influence in deciding where new
lines were to be built.
Another great drawback to the
prosperity of Italian railways Pro-
fessor Ancona says, is that the
workers have insisted on an eight
hours day, for all employees, even
for those whose duty consists in open
ing, and shutting a gate at a level
crossing once or twice a day. This
eight hours question has added 10000
or $4,000 to the number Of the per-
sonnet. and something like 500 mil
lion lire to the expense of operation.
The only remedy likely to bring in
reign of economy and efficiency, ac-
