BIG TRUCK AND BIG TEAM
How the Heavy cables for SAN FrsA-
cisco street Cars Are
Transported.

San Francisco is the home of the
cable road. and Ii contains the biggest
truck for hauling the big cables used
for street railway traffic and the larg-
est team OF horses ever put together TO
draw single load. The numbers OF
cables in use in San Francisco and the
frequency with which the manufacture
ers are called upon 10 move them, led 10
the invention OF the truck, which weighs
in itself Is tons. It has two wheels be-.
hind and four smaller wheels in front,
the four in front being arranged on a
single line. These front wheels are on
two separate axles, and the team has
two tongues. This allows the two sets
Of front wheels 70 be moved independ-
emily CT each other, and in case Of need
they may be turned at opposite angles
and made 10 serve as an additional
brake TO the truck. The Fulton street
cable is $1,000 feet long. and the en-
tire load weighed 10000 pounds. To
support such a weight wheel OF special
manufacture was necessary. The
wheels are 16 inches broad and have a
core of iron. They have two tires. Be
tween the core and the inner tire the
space is filed in with wooden wedges,
so ingeniously arranged that the
weight Of the load has tendency to
draw the wedges together rather than
force them apart. Between the outer
and inner tires there is another and
similar arrangement OF wedges. The
low body OF the truck is OF wood.
The cables are loaded on between the
rear trucks. which are just wide
enough apart TO permit the passage of
the reel, and the process of loading
takes about an hour. They may be un-
loaded in 90 minutes.
The team which draws this truck va
ries according TO the size of the cable
to be drawn. The smallest is composed
OF 36 horses. When n cable Of large size
is to be hauled in rainy weather 60
horses are used. These horses are ar
ranged four abreast, but the pair on
the right OF each four is attached 10 the
truck independently Of the pair on the
left This arrangement continues
throughout the team, so that in reality

teams. harncssed two abreast and draw
ing from Independent axles and
tongues. The entire line or % horses on
the right can be swung to the right and
the line OF % on the left swung i'm that
direction, turning the two pairs of
wheels in front in opposite directions
and forming an effective brake in case
the strap brake on the rear wheels fails
TO hold on steep grade. The horses
are driven in sets of four the drivers
usually riding one horse and managing
the one at the side and the two in front.
Sometimes the drivers walk beside the
team.
On asphalt streets, no matter how
nearly level the street may appear 10
the ordinary load, it is always uphill
work for this truck when loaded. The
enormous weight has a tendency 10
make the asphalt pile up in front OF
the wheels, and il seems a constant
climb. In wet weather the resistance
requires extra power. hence the use OF
additional horses. - San Francisco

EX-GOVERNOR JONES
 ONTHECONSTITUTION
Expresses Some Pertinent Views on the Revision of the Funda-
 mental Law of the State.

In answer to the general question as to what is needed in the way of constitutional revision in Alabama, former Governor Thomas G. Jones, one of the ablest of the states jurists, writes to the editor of The Age-Herald as follows:
 l. The first great question, of course, is the revision of the qualifications for suf- frage and office. The next is to embody in the constitution itself self-executing pro- selection of managers, and oversight by watchers in the interest of candidates and the public, which will not only make cleo tions absolutely fair, but convince the pulp lie that they are fair. There should be ad- ded to the present disqualification for vot- ing and holding office, conviction for buy ing or selling votes either at primary or at an election, and where an officer has the power to make appointments the promising of such appointments in consideration of support, votes, or assistance to get the nomination or to be elected to the office.
 9 The revision and abolition of many pro- visions in the constitution, regarding the mode of legislating and the evidence re- quired to be shown by the journals concern ing 1t, is of the utmost importance. When a small number of members present are given the right to demand the yeas and nays on any subject, no useful purpose is subserved by requiring the taking and re-
The age-herald., 1900-05-20

cording of a yea and nay vote and spread ing 1t on the journal, upon the adoption of all conference reports, or upon amendments by either house, or upon the final passage of all bills. If these relate to matters of importance, there will always be enough members to demand the yeas and nays, and thus put individual legislators upon record. I once had occasion to estimate the time consumed in roll calls on these subjects, and found that the yeas and nays were called more than thousand times during Nthe session. When it is recollected that the legislature does not average over six hours sitting each day during the fifty days of the legislative session, it will be seen that about one-sixth of its entire time is taken up in a practice, which. for all the good 1t accomplishes Is nothing more than the ceremony of calling rolls. Under the pres ent requirements of constitution the existence of laws depends not so much up- on what the legislature has done concern ing them, as upon the ability and intelli- gence of the clerical force which keeps the journal and the vigilance of members In seeing that every one of the prescribed de- tails Is accurately and affirmatively set forth upon the journal The result Is that many very important laws have been un- dermined on technicality-and there is always more or less doubt until the our nals have been passed on by the courts, whether statute is, in truth. the law. EX- ceot as to very vital matters which might be specified, enrolled bills signed by the presiding officers and approved by the gov ernor ought not to be overthrown by the failure of recitals in the journal as to the mode of passage.
 3. Local legislation has brought about in- tolerable abuses. Aside from disregard of the fundamental principle of our nstitu- tons that the rule of conduct should be ap- piled, under the same circumstances, to all persons alike, the consideration of local leg iSlatiOn which infrppDpOtlv ic al dxy amply provideded for by general laws, oc- cupies the greater part of the legislative session, and leaves no time for the proper consideration and discussion of the real in- terests and business of the state govern ment Combinations into which the sup porters of local measures enter, and their threats of retaliation on measures of mem- bers who oppose them, prevents independ- ent and fearless consideration of meritori- ous general laws, and quite often defeats their passage. The special privileges ac- quired by local legislation, or the threat of local legislation against particular interests. causes the legislature to be thronged with lobbyists, and brings all manner of i'm proper influence to bear upon legislation The existing constitutional provisions which, owing to the construction placed upon them by courts, have altogether failed to meet the evil, should be radically changed by vesting commissioners courts With authority to enact local police regula- tions, or put them in force upon the vote of the people in a particular locality, subject Of course, to the right of the legislature to
