in short. money to the amount of more
than 81. .Sc0.00e was piled up in Tax Collector
Rogers office yesterday. when the final
mails bringing in the last Of the tax re-
oeipts were opened.
Almost overwhelmed by the deluge of
checks and bills, Mr.. Rogers sat at his
desk and opened letter after letter, piIing
up the checks in big stacks two or three
feet high. while these in turn we're put
into big waste paper baskets and piled
up elsewhere to make room for the rest
OF the money. It was q busy day in the

knowledge Of the place whore the suit
was TO be filed.
The Attorney General selected court
in the Eighth judicial circuit for the
suit. because in that circuit the Sherman
antitrust law has received its fullest In
terpretation in the Standard OH and other
cases.
The roads complain that only a few
weeks ago the Taft administration was
standing stanchIy behind provision in
the pending railway bin leganzing traffic
agreements. They contend that the ac-
ton through the Western Trunk Line
committee was no more than was author
lied In the administration measure. The
traffic agreement section was dropped
from the railroad bin after the insurgents
and the regulars in the Senate had wran-
gled for several weeks.
Provision Is Plain.
officials Of the government point out
that the traffic agreement provision as
proposed in the railroad bill provided that
the agreement should be approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Insurgents in the Senate are pointing
out that the Taft forces only a few days
ago were opposing the Cummins amend
ment. which was aimed 10 prevent repe-
tition OF the very conditions that the
Department of Justice is now attacking.
The Cummins amendment provided that
all Increases in rates should be approved
before becoming operative by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
Representatives Of the shippers here de-
clare that the situation affecting the
Western Trunk Line committee Is the
same as that of the trans-Missouri rate
committee, the Trans-C Continental Rate
Association. the Southwestern Traffic As
sociation. the Oklahoma and Arkansas
conference committee, the Southeastern
Freight Association. and the Central
Freight Association. These associations
and committees cover a large part Of the
United States. and il is contended that
If the government succeeds IN its present
proceedings it will practically settle the
question Of Uniform freight rate increases
throughout the country.
