AMENDMENT NO. 9.
If Adopted Will Give More Revenue
toIGrowina Cities and Towns.

II you want to see the town or
city you live in grow during the
next ten years do not fail to vote
for Constitutional Amendment
Number nine. Alvey back In 1875
provision was placed in the Con-
sdtution of Missouri fixing the tax
rate for cities from 1000 to 10000
Inhabitants at go cents on the
Hundred Dollars valuation, but
since the Missouri cities have been
growing go rapidly they require
more revenue than they can pos
sibly raise at that rate, since the
ass easements are very low.
Everybody is proud Of the grow
ing towns of Missouri but unless
they arc permitted to raise their
tax rate they will not be able to
hold their own with the growing
cities of other states. In 1875
when the constitution was adopted
the smaller cities of Missouri did
not have to expend large sums for
the maintenance of Libraries,
Hospitals, well equipped Fire
Department, Street Cleaning,
Parks and Play Grounds, as they
are compelled to do now, If they
are to hold their present populati.

ber.. Nine, but if it is adopted it
will greatly benefit the towns from

towns want it adopted in order
that they may keep their munich

GET RELIEF FROM
PARTISAN COURT
Election Of Brown and Kennish Will
So Divide Supreme Court That
PARTISAN Decisions May
Be Avoided
Democrats Name Judge Timmonds OF
Kansas CITY TO Run Against
John Kennish.

Special Correspondence.
Jefferson City October II. For
forty years the Supreme Court of
this State has been extremely
Democratic and many OF it's de-
cisions have savored of PARTISAN
politics. Thislwas especially true
of the late decision upholding Sec
retary of State Roach in refusing
to submit to popular vote on the
petition of nearly $4,000 qualified
voters proposed amendment ofthe
constitution for preventing the
gerrymandering of senatorial dis
tricts. With the State Senate
under perpetual control by Demo-
cratic politicians and the Supreme
Court made up of six Democrats
and one Repu blican there has been
little chance to escape PARTISAN
schemes. The time has come,
however, when the hold of the
PARTISAN Democrats on high court
can be broken and il it is broken
in November it may be entirely
released laier on. The two Re-
publican nominees for the Sup
RENE bench, John @. Brown of
Fredericktown and John Kennish
of Kansas City, are in every way
equal and in many particulars
superior to the Democratic nomi-
nees.
For the full term, to succeed
himself, Judge CAN'T, who has
been on the Supreme bench for
twenty years, is the Democratic
candidate. He is now IS years
old, has been on the Democratic
side of every question that has
had any political shade to it all
that time, and represents the old,
non-progressive Bourbon spirit
that has retarded the growth and
development of the state. He is
one of the four judges who sus-
tanned Roach in the Senatorial re-
districting case. He has neither
the physical strength or the new
Missouri spirit required for an
other term of ten years on the
bench.
For a short term, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death
of the late Chief Justice Fox, the
Democratic State Committee last
Saturday nominated Judge HI. G.
Timmonds of Kansas City, who is
of the old Bourbon School OF De-
mocracy, and would follow the
footsteps of the elderly Democratic
justices who have for so many
years determined the policy aud
the decisions of our high court.
AS he is clean and able man it is
to be supposed that there are no
concealments-nothing under the
surface. Governor Hadley remark
ed in 1909 that there were more
distinguished Democratic polite
icians in the lobby OF the legis-
lature than in the Legislative body
itself. The same was true of the
Democratic State Committee meet
ing at st. Louis last Saturday.
Col. Phelps and his former aids
were there, and busy.

CITIZENS!

VOU have had two years of Republican
Il executive administration in Missouri.
And the Republican Party submits
its record in the management of public affairs
for your approval by ballot, November s.
The promises made youn 1908 for efficient,
economical and progressive administration have
been effectively kept. In State departments under
Republican management there has been established
better standard, and better measure of public
service is being rendered, than the people of Mis-
souri, have known.
The State eleemosynary, penal and reforma-
tory institutions being conducted with more
humane regard for the welfare of the inmates, and
along more scientific and business-ke lines than
in past years And it has remained for Repub-
lican administration to naugurate the development
of Missouri's great natural resources, now being
conducted through the Immigration Bureau, Board
Of Agriculture, Dairy and Food Department,
and Bureau of Geology and Mines, with the as
sured promise that Missouri will regain her
position of fifth in population well fifth in
wealth. which position was lost during forty years
of Democratic rule.
Upon this record of public service you are
asked to approve at the polls Republican policies
and Republican performances by casting your
ballot for the Republican candidates State and
County tickets.

which is likely to become exclusive In

motors mounted on the bogies A car
when loaded with 30 passengers makes up
a total weight of IA tons. or an average
weight of about $40 pounds per passenger,
which compares favorably with the

hanging on opposite sides of the central
elevated single rail, carried on A-shaped
trestles, as in the Elberfeld road, but
running on the outside of the legs of the
A, instead of between them. In addition
to the supporting rail at the top there are
two bearing rails on each leg of the to
steady the cars when In motion.
Such a road is projected between Liver
pool and Manchester, and at the proposed
speed of 120 miles per hour the distance,
80 miles, would be covered in but a little
over a quarter of an hour including stops
A road built on this principle, with some
variation, is projected to run through
Pelham Bay Park to City Island, in the
Bronx, New York city
A third class OF monorail road consists
of single rail laid on the level of the
ground, being essentially half Of an ordi-
nary two-rail road. The balance of the
cars is maintained by arms, which reach
out laterally, and are supported by man
or horse walking at one side and sup
plying the motive power at the same time.
1t is simple and effective mode of trans
portation for loads which would require
much more expensive power proportion
ately to move by usual methods.
To form fourth class comes the gyro-
scope car, running on a single rail. and
preserving its own balance-the germ of
the monorail road par excellence. The
types of the gyroscope car have been
produced, the first by Louis Brennan, of
England who exhibited model car early
in 1907. and practical service car 40
feet long and 10 feet wide, and weighing
% tons, which successfully carried 40 pas
sengers in December, 1909.
The force made use of in maintaining
the balance of the gyroscope cars is the
resistance which a rapidly revolving
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-06-26

wheel exerts against any change of the
plane on which it is rotating.
In the Brennan car the upright position
upon a single rail is preserved by two
wheels revolving side by side in parallel
vertical planes. These wheels are 3.5 feet
in diameter and weight 1,500 pounds each,
an dare placed in vacuum chambers to
escape friction. They are made to revolve
in contrary directions to counterfeit cer-
tain tendencies to wabbling, and at
speed of 1900 revolutions per minute.
The other gyroscope car was invented
in Germany by Richard Scheri. 1t differs
from the Brennan car In that the gyro-
scope wheels rotate edge to edge in the
horizontal plane of the floor of the car,
wheels, weighing only 125 pounds each.
The latent power of these horoscopes is
SO great that a force sufficient to over
throw them when in motion would be
sufficient to crush the material out of
which the ears are built, and their mo-
mentum Is such that after the motive
power is cut off. as might happen in case
of an accident to the machinery, they will
continue to revolve for many hours.
The adoption of this principle to practi-
cal railroading is yet ODE accomplished.
Obviously If the cars are to be run at
the speed obtained by ordinary trains and
carry the same loads, they would have TO
be practically the same strength and
weight. To concentrate upon one rail the
weight now divided upon two necessitates
a much stronger rail than is now in use
and a more substantial form of roadbed.
The bearing surface of the rail will
doubtless become more circular In sec
tional outline to receive the thrust of the
cars when rounding curves, and the
curves themselves must assume the form
of parabolas that the inward leaning
may be acquired gradually and as gradu-
ally released.
If a perfect roadbed can be secured the
argument of safety Is altogether on the
side of the gyroscope car. All accidents
due to the spreading of the two rails In
the present form Of railroad must neces-
sarily be eliminated. The concentration
of weight upon the single rail will mean
greater tractive power; the construction
expenses of the road and bridges must
be greatly reduced, the upkeep much
