What viii the Effect Be?

1T is considered practically certain
that every possible legal obstruction
will be placed in the way of enforcing
the Spokane rate case decision by the
railroads in the Portland territory.
While it can not be learned definitely
at present if this step will be taken or
what processes will be resorted to, 1t is
believed the railroads will fight the
rate order just made and at least delay
its effect to the utmost, even if it can
not be defeated.
"The Spokane rate decision was or
dered to become effective May 1. This
is said by all to be- practically impos-
sible.'

the nature of business that may be
transacted. 1t is generally conceded
that at least two months will be re-
quired for the house to conclude con-
sideration Of all the schedules involved
in this legislation. The house itself will
not receive the bill for some weeks, as
the committee on ways and means will
require considerable time to report the
measure. During this period the SEN
ate will have nothing to do in respect
to the tariff and even after bill leaves
the house it will be in the hands of the
committee on finance some time before
the bill actually gets before the body.
