That the Bill Encourage Extravagance

Washington, March 23. The first
day of the tariff debate in the house was
rather tame, both from a spectacular
and an oratorical standpoint. lne gai-

Chicago, March 24. The impression
prevails very generally among railroad
officials that the supreme court decision
in the Transmissouri freight association
case will be followed by the speedy dis
solution of all the traffic associations.
In the face of that decision it is plain
that none of them can be legally main
tained. A large number of roads, mem
bers of neaily all the associations, are
now in the hands of receivers and under
the administration of the subordinate
courts. It is clear that they cannot be
allowed to retain such illegal member
ship and their withdrawal will of itself
bring about the dissolution of the asso
ciations. Their competitors, it is
thonirht.. rminnfc afford to surround
themselves with restrictions to which
they are not subject, even if they cared

Quincy the danger line is 14 feet and
