Trolley Soon to Sf;ng transportation
Facilities to Every Door

New York, Jan. 27.-Most people do
not conceive of the much discussed
''trackless trolley" as vehicle which
will also run on tracks. But there's
a new idea abroad. Vehicles that run

there to resume the course OF the ia
miliar street car, thus taking people
direct from their homes to business
destinations without delay or the
trouble of transferring from trolley to
steam train and back again, are an
innovation predicted in the develop
ment of American railroading in the
near future. This, however, is only
one OF the many interesting changes
IN railway operation that are to occur
soon, according to Earl Mao, who
writes ABOUT a number of the more
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1908-02-05

The trolley express cars make two
trips in each direction daily, requiring
about two hours for the journey, and
goods delivered at the freight station
in New Haven in time for the early
morning trips are on the shelves OF
merchants in Waterbury by the time
their doors are open to customers
When trade is able to flow so easily
and rapidly between business cen.
ters its volume is certain to increase
and thus given territory is made to
yield larger traffic crop in freight
as well as in passengers"
The electric express car OF course
is not confined to cities in its opera
lions. It takes the farmers milk and
fruit and garden produce to the city
market, and delivers goods direct to
the door of the crossroads store away
from the railway line. Since it is a
much easier matter to stop an cleo
trio car than freight train, the troll
ley express can pick up shipments at
any point along the line-a great con
yenience TO the farmer.
The trackless trolley in appear.

truck and a trolley car. 1t has
wheels the tread of which is unusually
wide and with Just sufficient concav
ity TO hold them IN the rails, so that
while they can DE operated on the Or

car possesses the advantage of being
able TO run out along the trolley

teries from the feed wire as it runs,
and at any point it can turn off into
the highway to run along side the
loading platform of 4 manufacturing
plant or down an alley to collect
freight direct from the doors of a
warehouse, returning in The same way
to the central freight station. The
storage batteries, when fully charged
will carry the car twenty-five miles
so that it can cover considerable
range OF territory independently OF

Needless Cost.

There is a wide difference between
some of the election operations here
and in France. The president of the
latter country spent $4,000 in his
election; his Office is worth $240,o00
a year. In this country there are In
stances where a man has spent $780,
900 to secure an office paying oaly
$4,000 a year. Which system Is the
better? The cost OF elections liz the
United States is too great as rule.
Even IN this country it costs too much
to get an office. The various CaEdi-
dates for the several county offices
are alarmed at the drain ON their
purses on account of the putting on
the primary. There is no doubt that
the cost in all cases is, too great. But
it must be said that much, If not all
of the expense of a primary, or of the
final election is caused by the gener-
osity of the candidate, who regards 1t
as necessary that he should buy CT
CARS by the quantity, get thousands
of cards printed, and in some eases
other excuses not contemplated In
the law regulating the final election
or the local management of q Pri-
mary. In heated canvass where two
or three men have entered race
the emulation becomes so great that
each aspirant goes to the lengths Of
expenditure of time and money wholly
inconsistent with his circumstances
and the demands of the occasion. 1t
were well if a simpler and less ex-
pensive method were adopted and
every candidate should refrain from
cheap methods of influencing voters.
Much of the expense is voluntary. not
forced, and should not be plea for
immunity from necessary charges.
