THE SENATE MOVING SLOWLY

The United States Senate IS not
very rapid in its movements. IN TACT
it is very snail-hke, and during tins
session its members are evidently in
tent on following or adhering to the
traditions of that body. The House
of Representatives. pretty sure ot
what Legislation is demanded 10y
the people Of the country
organized with commendable
promptness and in a few days after
the opening of the session had all OF
its committees named and was bust
" at work considering its Leglsla-
tive program. 1t has already passed
and sent to the Senate the bill fer
the direct election Of the United
States Senators and the campaign
publicity bi and is about ready to
follow these up by passing the pres
ident's reciprocity measure, and
while the House has been doing this
important work the Senate hash I
even named its committees for the
session. In fact the Republicans IN
the Senate seem to be in no hurry to
consider the Democratic legislative
program. and from present prospects
it will be late in the summer or early
in the fall before the success or fail
ure of this program can be definitely
determined. since it is obvious that
the Republicans in the Senate have
it in their power to defeat it. 1t Is
not probable, however, that they will
be able to do so because of the divls-
ion which exists in their ranks be
tween the regulars and insurgents,
especially as the latter are committed
to a fair reduction Of the Payne
Alrich schedules, and must, there
fore, support the Democratic Sena-
tors to this extent. The Baltimore
Sun and other newspapers are warn
ing the Senate that it cannot afford
to turn down the program mapped
out by the Democrats in the House,
and it would seem that members of
that body ,profting by the fate which
overlook so many of their number
last year. would be unwilling to bring
down upon themselves the wrath of
the country by ignoring the plain
mandate of the people as expressed
at the polls in November.

With bronzed faces and muscles like

and Arnold Haener are back in De

continental run from New York to
San Francisco in the three-ton Pack

ing marked the return journey.
To demonstrate that a motor truck
is practically as a means, of freight
transportation from Denver to Idaho
Springs, a party of Denver business
men made the request that the trans
continental Packard be sent on a trial
trip.
Probably a new motor could make
the grade. We want to know whether
one which had seen rought usage can,
they said. In about twenty-five miles
the climb is over three thousand feet
and in negotiating the Floyd Hill the
truck surmounted one of the greatest
difficulties of Colorado travel The
trip was made in six hours, and was
the first shipment by motor truck ever
made over those mountain roads. The
plan now is to establish a regular
freight and passenger motor truck
service between the two cities.

Won Hamm-Y Young Co.'S
Weekly Garage Letter

The quiet condition of business
about town has not affected the auto
mobile business this week and things
seem to be in about the same healthy
condition as they have been for some
time past. The repair work is, of
course, diminishing to a certain eX-
tent all the time, inasmuch as the
cars which are being manufactured
day and require less repairing than
previous models. This is particularly
the case with the Cadillac cars, as
every year they come out little more
perfected than previously, and they
have always held the record for the
smallest amount of up-keep of any
cars of their class. OF course, this
deficiency in the repair business is
made up by the number of new cars
which are being put on the. market
from time to time.
The Cadillacs are creating an enor-
nous sensation this year, and their
Delco electric starting, lighting and
generating system this year is the ad-
miration of everybody who is the
least bit interested in automobiles.
The uses and abuses of the auto
matte starter of any description are
many. Most everybody realizes the
uses and the great convenience which
the starter has come to be, but very
few people realize the abuses. An
automatic starter should never be
used unless there is absolute call for
it. The ordinary engine of today will
start nine cases out of ten during the
day Gf stopped in the proper man

Great care should be used in stop.
ping and starting the engine so that
the automatic starter should not be
required. The automatic starter is
simply applied to an engine so that
the operator will not have to get out
in the mud and dirt and use the
crank.
One of the greatest abuses of The
automatic starter seems to be the
great idle curiosity of the common
public If car with an automatic
starter is downtown anyhere at least
hundred people will step up to the
operator and ask him to operate the
starter just to satisfy their curiosity
If all requests of this kind are ac
guessed in the starter will soon be
worn out or the power gone. If the

battery will be run down and the en-

cars which the owners never saw uu-
til they were delivered to them in
New York just before the start Of the
tour. A number of jacksonville men
shipped their cars to New York by
sea in order to make the tour, but tha
eleven Cadillac owners ordered new
cars, to be shipped from the factory
to New York in time to enable them
to start with the other contestants.
This is the first time the Glidden
tour has invaded the Eastern section

CINE will not be run enough to re-
charge the same: If it is a com.
pressed air starter the air pressure
will be exhausted and the engine not
run enough TO pump the proper
amount of air. If It is Of the presto
lite type, the gas will soon be con
sumed, and in this way the starter
will be more Of a joke than anything
else.
The owners of the new Cadillacs
have been made thoroughly acquaint-
ed with these conditions and are hav-
ing the best kind of success with
their automatic starters owing to the
fact that they are not overworking
them. None of the four new Cadillacs
have used the crankers yet in one sin
gle instance, which is a very remark
able demonstration. A certain owner
of one of the new Cadillacs made the
remark yesterday that his new car
would go up to the Pail with a load
just as easy on the high speed as a
previous foreign car of 60 horsepower,
which he previously owned which
was a very expensive machine. This
is certainly a fine compliment for a
car of the Cadillac type. class and
price.
There are today great many more
! Cadillacs on the street than any
other make of car which have been
brought here, and every owner is a
! satisfied customer.

GRIMES AND CASUALTIES

fifty feet into the gorge.

DECIDES AGAINST
INCREASED RATES
Railroads Hit by Commerce
I Commission Ruling,

The railroads have been decided
against by the interstate commerce
commission in the important freight
rate cases that have been impending
for several months.
The decision is sweeping bey5n all
anticipation, even by the shippers. 1t
declines to allow a single increase by
the 500 or more railroads in the east
and the middle west Il throws aside
as unsubstantiated the contention of
the roads that they must have in
creased revenues to meet the increased
cost of equipment and operation and
by it's decision cuts off between $780,
100000 ard $6O,OOO,0OO a year in rev
enue, which the roads had expected
to realize from the proposed revenue
increases On the other hand, it
means an annual saving Of that
amount to the shippers of the country.
The commiss sion orders the carriers
to cancel the proposed increases by
March 10 and notifies them that in the
event of failure an order will be en-
tered continuing the present rates for
two years, thus preventing the car
riers from making any changes in
that period.
The railroads may now appeal to
the newly created commerce court
and it is the opinion of many eff their
lawyers that this step will be taken.
1t is possible that the railways may
seek an injunction from the COM
MERGE court restraining the cCmmIs-
sion from enforcing it's order against
the increase, pending an appeal of the
case.
While the decisions apply only to
the railroads in the territory between
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
they affect practically every road in
the United States. The decisions are
the most important ever handed down
by the commission. Through them
the commission goes on record as op-
posed to the general tendency to raise
freight rates.
In a separate decision the commits
sion allows carriers operating from
st. Louis to Texas to retain their pres
ent rates, made two years ago. In
this case the commission says that
the evidence shows that the roads are
not as prosperous as roads in other
sections of the country.
The decision was written by Com
missioner Prouty. The territory af-
fected by this decision is bounded by
Canada on the north, the Atlantic
ocean on the east, the Ohio and Poto-
mac rivers on the south and the Mis-
sissippi river on the west. This case
involved a general increase in class
rates by the APO odd carriers operating
in this territory.
