legislation in both branches of the leg
islature was advanced another step
yesterday. Aside from the passage of
the house 2-cent fare bill and the ad-
vancement of the senate 2-cent fare bill
to a second reading, the house railroad
committee surprised its admirers again
by reporting out the reciprocal demur-
rage bill.
AS a result of these procedures the
Illinois Legislature at this stage of the
game stands a confessed anti-railroad
body, although many things may hap
pen yet to change its condition.
Pieases Farmers.
Farmers and grain shippers of the
state are probably more concerned in
the demurrage bill than they are in the
2-cent fare legislation. The measure,
as reported out of committee, contains
several amendments agreed to by the
legislative representatives of the ship
pers.
One allows the railroad SO hours in
stead of "A after the demand for cars
before the penalties start. and another
limits the demand of the shipper to 10
cars. If he asks for more than 10 the
company has eight days in which to
! fill his order
Further amendments reduce the

miles every "a hours TO 60 miles during
