WASHINGTON-Under the railway rate

a far more important body than 1t 1t
is increased In size from five members to
members and the salaries have been raised from
$500 to $4,000. The commission assumes the
Importance of high United States court. Its
membership is only two less than the supreme
court of the United States and the salaries are
equal TO those drawn by the nine gentlemen In

back of 1t giving Its decisions force and 1t will
no longer be n laughing stock as 1t had been for
its decisions regarding railway rates. That has
all been cured now and when the commission

1t is somewhat amusing to note the jealousy
that exists in the little group of statesmen who
have their political lightning rods elevated to
catch the presidential bolt in 1908 These men
who aspire to the presidency are thoroughly
human and they watching each other like
hawks. While for public consumption their words
and acts altogether disinterested, in private
conversation they indulge in some pretty severe
criticisms of each other There has been great
anxiety among these candidates to find out on
whom the administration favor would rest. The
developments of the past few weeks seem to have
settled that point and now 1t appears to be the
field against Secretary Taft, for the latter is

THE NATIONAL EXPOSITION IDEA.

exposition idea. 1t has gone deep into these
enterprises in the past that every new proposition
to celebrate great event by national ex-
position is pretty certain to meet with support
and favor. Preparations now under way for

to check the granting OF government aid to this

the most part. That is to say, to work
where a comparatively large body of
troops is sent out on compaign which
is to be of considerable duration, thus
necessitating the establishment of
base of supplies. In such cases, of
course, hospitals would be set up, and
in case of action all sick and wounded
would be taken there from the field
hospitals and receiving stations as soon
as practicable. Up to the present. the
mule drawn ambulances have been
used, and their rate of speed is so low
and their capacity for continuous
work SO limited that such work in
volved either great consumption of
time, or else the use of a very large
force. which is impracticable in most
cases. because of the great expense
coupled with the fact that the equip
ment is utterly valueless except in
time of action.
For such work, then, which from
the nature of things must be for the
most part only in territory which is
supplied with fairly good roads. I
think that the motor ambulance can
be used to the utmost advantage and
can be made to replace from four to
ten mule teams. according to circum-
stances. That is to say, depending on
the conditions Of the roads and the
possibilities Of maintaining good rate
of speed. But for anything of the
nature of pioneer work, where high
ways are to be abandoned all sorts
of unfavorable conditions met, l think
that the mule team cannot be SUI

ed for the work but who had also
designed a car which correspondent in
all essential details with the plans
which Captain Ford had made. At
the beginning of this year a machine
was turned out and, after being tested
at Fort Myer.. Captain Ford is quoted
as saying of it.:
1.-The machine which is now in use,
is practically stock chassis with
heightened wheel base. The frame
has been strengthened sufficiently to
bear the added load, and the spring
suspension has been altered suitably.
The wheel base is 1872 inches, and when
it is considered that the standard
wheels and axles are used and that
the weight fully equipped, is $500
pounds, some idea of the stability of
the stock car may he gained. The
weight is brought up not simply by
the body. which is by. no means a
light one. but as well by the touring
outfit. which includes very complete
set of road tools. comprising not simply
parts for requirements and repairs,
but implements for use on the road
such as spades. axes and ETC. which
would be necessary in any sort Of
pioneer work.
The car has been put through a
very rigorous trial over the road, in
which nothing has been spared, the
intent being to run what was practical
ly a break down test. And in the
course Of several thousand miles Of
such running over rough country
roads. the only mishap which occurred
was the bending Of the orsion rod due
to throwing on the load suddenly
when getting out of mud hole. Az
a matter of fact, ran the car eighty
miles over practically unused road
outside Of Cleveland, where in places
the differential would scrape along
the ground when the wheels were
In the ruts, and where in one or two
cases the machine had to be pried
out of holes which were SO deep that
the axles were dragging. And on
