The fact that the Senate commerce con- mlttee is making rather slow progress with the rivers and harbors bill is an indication that 1t is holding that measure back in or der to help the shipping bill. This was plan suggested some time ago in these dis patches as the probable policy of the ship ping bill men, and it is apparently quite ef- fsctive in worrying the opposition and less ening it's vitality.

Insurance Rates.
cards.

The matter of lower insurance rates for Birmingham Is to be considered by Special Agent Tanner of the Southeast ern Tariff Association and committee from the Board of Trade this afternoon.
 It is a notable fact that Chattanooga, Atlanta and other nearby cities enjoy much lower insurance rates than are accorded to Birmingham. Why is this so? The representative of the Tariff Association should explain. If Birming. ham has an inferior fire department that fact should be stated and the Tariff As sociation should specify what improve ments are necessary to put Birmingham on the basis of other cities.
 This insurance matter is serious question to property holders in Birming ham. The rates are now excessively high. Let the full cause be known and the remedy applied. Birmingham should and must have lower rates of insur- ance.
