 Is there remedy for such a state of things? The answer is, yes; and, moreover it is a remedy which con gress can itself immediately provide.
 There Is no complete remedy, of course. No scheme can be devised which can prevent such request as that of the constituent last named who wished public documents to use in his private paper business. Re- quests like this merely mean that Tn every district individuals will always be found who will request improper favors. AS regards these people, all that can be done is to create a vigor- ous public op1nion-an opinion which shall not only make it uncomfortable for any man to demand such favors, but which shall cordially support the congressman in refusing them and hold him accountable for granting them.

The Green Forest tribune., 1910-09-02

Congress has now, and has long had, the power to rid it's members of almost all the improper pressure brought to bear upon the individual by special interests-great and small, local and metropolitan--on such sub jects as tariff legislation, river and harbcr legislation, and pension legis- lation. Congress has not exercised this power; chiefly because of what l am bound to regard as a very short sighted and unwise belief that it is beneath it's dignity to delegate any of it's functions. By passing rule which would forbid the reception or passage of any pension bill save the pension legislation recommended by the com missioner of pensions (this of course to be rejected or amended as congress saw fit, but not so amended as to include any special or private legis- lation), congress would at once do away with the possibility of it's mem bers being subject to local pressure for improper private pension bills and at the same time guarantee proper treatment for the veteran who really does deserve to have everything done for him that the country can afford.
The Green Forest tribune., 1910-09-02

In the case Of the tdrlff and the river and harbor legislation, what is needed in each case Is ample provi- sion for a commission of the highest l possible grade, composed of men who thoroughly know the subject, and who possess every attribute required for the performance of the great and diff | ficult task of framing in outline the legislation that the country, as dis i tinguished from special interests, really needs. These men, from the very nature of the case, will be wholly | free from the local nressure of special interests so keenly felt by every man who is dependent upon the vote of a particular district every two years for his continuance in public life. l Such a river and harbor commission could report, and probably would re- port, a great and comprehensive na- tional scheme for river and harbor i'm provements fit to be considered by the people as a whole upon it's merits, and not dependent for enactment into law upon system of log-rolling designed to placate special interests which are powerful in each of many score congressional districts. Such a tariff commission could get at the facts of labor cost here and abroad by expert inquiry, and not by the ac- ceptance of interested testimony; such a commission could consider d1spas- sionately the probable effect upon the entire social and economic body Of all changes in any given branch Of the tariff, and it's recommendations would | represent the exercise of careful judgment from disinterested stand point. Such commission could work in harmony with the commissioner or , labor so as to insure that the labor' ! CTS for whom the tariff Is passed get the full benefit of it; for the major part of the benefit of a protective tariff should unquestionably go to the wage-workers,
 Even under such conditions of tariff making errors might be committed, but they would be merely those errors of disinterested judgment incidental to every kind of public or, for the mat ter of that, private effort, and the work would not be hampered from the be- ginning by the need of gratifying pri- vate selishness.
 It is only in this way that tarlH legislation, river and harbor legisla- tion, and pension legislation can De treated from the standpoint of prln- ciple and not from the very low stand point of privilege and preference, The obstacle hitherto to the adoption or such a method of treatment has come from the queer dislike felt by so many congressional leaders to course or action which they (quite unjustifiably) feel would iii some way be limitation of their powers. I think this feeling is passing. It is simply another 1n- stance of the kind of feeling which makes some executives suspicious about delegating their work to any subordinate, and which makes many voters, who have not pondered the matter deeply, desire to elect great numbers of people on ticket or sucn length that it is out of the question for any except professional politicians to know much about them.

ELIMINATION OF THE GEARS
Trip over Mountains with Only the
High Gear to Prove the
Point,

Progress in automobile design during the
last two or three years has been directed
more or less by engineers abroad and I'm
America toward the possible elimination of
the transmission gears. The elimination Of
series OF four or five gears will do away
with the unpleasant rasping noises and
features to which the driver is subjected
when changing from the direct drive. The
ideal car is one that has range of two to
fifty Five miles an hour on high gear.
That the E. r. Thomas company believes
1t has largely solved the problem is evil
denced by trip which II has undertaken
with model NJ 60 with all gears but the
high and reverse eliminated from the trans
mission.
The course covers over LOCO miles and is
over three mountain ranges, with an aver
age altitude OF 5000 feet, Grades varying
from 10 to IS per cent between Pittsburg
and Philadelphia, are crossed. on the way
TO Boston, Mount Washington, White and

1T rarely occurs to the chauffeur or
owner when he is looking over his car
and giving it a general tuning ap and oil
ing that there are moving parts in a speed
ometer which also require oil and adjust
ment. The very, fact that these little in
struments are always on the job, so to
speak, and sull give so little trouble,
causes them TO be forgotten or generally
neglected" said Frank b. Killan, chief of
the mechanical department of the Vacuum
oil company of Rochester, N. Y. IF the
flexible shaft were taken out occasionally
and drawn through a lump OF hard grease,
the kind generally used in the gear set,
and then replaced. the result would be
very beneficial II the little bevel-gear
connections were cleaned out with gaso-
line and a squirt gun and a fresh supply
of grease supplied their life would be
greatly increased, and II the driving gears
are kept clean and dry, properly adjusted
and the shaft to which one of the driving
gears is attached oiled the life and eff
cheney Of the entire instrument. will be en-
HANGED. The removal Of the flexible shaft
is very simple operation, It being only
necessary to loosen the nut which holds
the tubing to the instrument when the
shaft connection at that end will disengage
itself then the shaft may be drawn from
the tube"

Milford Likes
the Flat Turns
Says Experienced Driver Knows Just
How Fast H. Can Make
the Corners.

NEW YORK. oct. Ralph milford
had his Vanderbilt car out over the 1910
course last week trying the new corners
and getting a line on the probable speed of
his Lozier car over the twelve-mile circuit
Milford is the first driver to go over the
course with car that will compete in the
race, and his opinion of the course and its
possibilities are interesting. II favor the
flat turns on the corners" said he. rather
than the banked corners of last season. An
experienced driver understands just how
much speed a fiat corner will stand, whereas
every bank requires different speed, ac-
cording to it's angle. For the reason, strange
as 1t may seem, a banked turn is more
difficult to negotiate than a flat one" Null
ford knows the possibilities of his car on
the straightaways as It Is the same one
with which he won the stock chassis cham
piOnship at Elgin-as he averaged 625 miles
per hour in that race over an eight and
a half mile course, his comparison OF the
two courses are OF interest.
The Vanderbilt course is faster than the
Egin," said he. In the first place there
are four turns in twelve miles, whereas at
, Egin there were the same number of
turns every eight and a half miles The
Vanderbilt surface is much better, espe-
cially on the old Country road where some
fast time will be made | look for last
years record to be broken by several cars
Manager Dan Smith of the Brighton
Beach mOtordrome announced that engi-
neers are at work upon plans for banking
all four turns of the course to a height of
twelve feet in order that high-power cars
may make the entire circuit at full speed
and thus make the circuit the fastest mile
track in the world After Oldfield had made
the mile on Labor day in the worlds record
time Of 1915 seconds, he declared that with
proper banking the track would be the fast
est circuit anywhere. 1T is an ideal motor

guarantee to do the mile in 46 flat" said

dreme would hold the worlds fastest cars
at top speed. The work was accordingly
