MUST STILL WATCH SPRINGFIELD

1t Is Il sufficient humlliatng COM
ment upon the political institutions"
of this state that the Street Railway
Commission, having abandoned the
effort for needed legislation for street
railways, must now devote itself 10
watching against vicious legislation on
that subject. This negative and nm.

mission finds IL necessary TO assume
this week. and its caution is justified.
Aside from the pretentious bill for re-,
duced fares on the elevated roads dur
ing rush hours--a hill whose good faith
Is impeached by the circumstances Of
its origin-there are several bills which
seem in their subject matter utterly
remote from Chicago ear lines. but
which, nevertheless, demand constant
scrutiny. There Is. for example. the
bill to allow the interstate consolidation
of the street railways of Rock Island,
Moline, and avenport-apparently II
desirable consoldatiOn-whlch. us in.

distinctly dangerous to public interests
in this city. 1t was amended on Sat
urday so as not 10 apply TO cities of
100000 or more people. but notice was
given that reconsideration Of this
amendment would be moved TO day.

ALTON WANTED.

Now that legislation at Springfield Is
moving with the bewildcring rapidi'y
and inconscuuence of the colors in Il
Kaleidoscope it may he as well to re-
mind the legislators that Chicago is not
asking for single one of the bills
urged by the Drainage Board.
Chicago is not laundering after the
additional taxation contemplated in
these bills.
If there is chance TO raise more rev.
enue Chicago has other uses for the
money more urgent than any that the
drainage trustees can urge.
Citizens of Chicago realize that under
the ; per cent tax limit every dollar
that goes to the sanitary district treas.
urer means less money for municipal
purposes.
Chicago is perfectly willing that
Evanston and the Calumet region shall
he given the opportunity to come into
the sanitary district If they want to. on
condition that they pay their pro rata
of the cost of the main canal rs well us
of the connecting canals.
Hut Chicago Is losing 10 sleep on ac.

As for river improvements, there Is
no immediate need of entering upon
any one of the eXtravagant schemes
proposed. The work of lowering the
tunnels and removing the center PIERS
belongs TO the city. and when this Is
done. as II can be in year or two. the
river can be dredged deep enough and
