COMPETITION.


By Senator o, II. Plat: Connection
in railroad transportation differs from
every other kind of competition in tho
world. do not say that it is not to be
judged by the same legal rule but
say in essence and in character it is
different from competition in any 9TH
er business. In the first place. it is
not competition in trade. The railroad
buys nothing of the producer: it sells
nothing to the consumer. It simply
earliest distributes: that is all. Con
tracts in restraint of trade may oper-
ate the same with reference TO con-
tracts between common carriers as
between merchants but the two kinds
of business differ in character. 1t DIFF
fers from every other business. because
whatever the result of the competition
and the rivalry the railroad stays. Ri
cardo is a grea' advocate of the doc
trine that competition is the life Of
trade: but he writes from bankers
standpoint IN banking. capital is cir
cllatory. If competition drives it out
OF the banking business it may En into
the manufacturing business But the
railroad stays whatever the result of
competition.
If competition and the survival Of
the flttest' means the physical removal
of the weakest. the pretended law is
inapplicable. for you cannot remove
the railroad. When its iron rails are
laid down from point to point. there

Secretary Wilson Thinks Track Of That
Kind May solve the Road Problem-A
sample Track to lie Laid at Nashville.

Secretary Wilson has given direc.
tiOns to General Roy Stone, chief of
the bureau Of good roads at the de.
pnrtment of agriculture, to construct
IL sample steel roadway at the most
convenient location he can find at the
Nashville exposition, where IL may be
seen and studied by the visitors who
will attend the exposition during the
summer. Secretary Wilson thinks the
steel trackwny for wagons Is the east
est solution of the good roads problem,
particularly In the west, where stone
and gravel are scarce and the soil Is
deep and sticky.
No road material promises so much
hope to the western farmers and vii
lage population as the fiat bars of steel

propose to have sample roads built,
not only at the Nashville exposition,
but at different points throughout the
country, where they will afford prac-
teal object lessons to county commits
sioners and other officials having the
highways under their charge. The
steel manufacturers of the country are
taking hold OF the matter with much
interest," and are making experiments
on their own account. which have al
ready brought out valuable suggcs-
lions as to the details of construction
The Cambria Iron company of Johns
town, Pennsylvania, has Joined heart
lily In the work Of the department, and
Is cooperating in the DEVELOPMENT of
our plans. The result has been that
very promising designs and methods
of construction have been evolved,
sufficient. at least, for experimental
construction. and the Cambria COM
pany will soon be prepared to furnish
the trackway for experiments or for
larger use.
The advantage of the steel roads in
the reduction of the pull required to
move Il load from an average of forty
pounds per ton on macadam road to
eight pounds on the steel track is suf-
hcient to overcome many Collections -
continued the secretary; but. in fact,
the objections TO steel roads have
mainly disappeared under the present
Investigations The obstacle of orig
inal expense Is overcome by the re-
duced price of material. and the antic-
pated high cost of maintenance avoid

In the construction.
1.-The danger of horses slipping on
the rail in going up or down hill is
met by indenting the rails used on
grades sufficiently TO catch the calks
of the shoes withou. roughing the
tread for wheels.
THE difficulty of low joints Is met
by making the joint stronger than any
other part of the track. and the danger
of forming a rut alongside the rail Is
overcome by making every rail joint
serve as n 'remOunt' for wheels. The
form of rail proposed Is an inverted
trough with a slightly raised bead on
the inside The rail is imbedded in
gravel laid in n trench which is well
drained. A little gravel is spread be-
tween the rails for the horse path.
The rails are tied together at She ends

special says: The California senators
have not yet given up the hope of Sc
curing restoration of the House rate
on still wines, and even Senator White,
though Il Democrat. will try TO have
the proposed duty of sixty cents per
gallon restored in conference. The
finance committees amendment re-
duced the proposed rate to thrse cents
on wines containing fourteen per cent.
Of less or alcohol, and the amendment
was adopted by the Senate.
Tile story of how this was brought
about in the committee is interesting.
At the time the schedule was cunsid-
cred the appointment of the binctallic
ENJOYS to Europe was about to be
made and Senator Wolcott WAS known
to be the choice of the President to
head the delegation. Mr.. Wolcott asked
the committee to reduce the rate of
duty on wines because that would
give him personal prestige in France,
and would. moreover, enable him to
represent to the French government
that the administration in power Mt
Washington WAS very friendly to
France.
Mr.. WolcOtts request WAS promptly
granted, the other members of the H.
