IVNSIN(;, Mich., April fe That the till giving the railroads a graduated Increase in rates mh:ht be placed on Its immediate p.u.ai; today, Sen. Taylor, chainiwtn of the senate committee on railroads, (,mw notice Wednesday afternoon that fie wnul.l a.-k lor a .siifcpen.-ion of the rules this afternoon, b that the hill, which is a fcptcial order for today, miht be jdaceti on third reading at once. Those who have made a canvass of the situation declare that the hill as ported out by the committee, whit h Kives the railroads some relief, will ja.c.s the upper house. In r spouse to li resolution introdueer l,y Sen. Walter last week, the senate committee on railroads, in a communication Wednesday afternoon, outlined the reasons vhy the grade,! hill was reported out. "It has been strongly urged on the committees," says tlJs communication, "that because of the financial necessities of the I'ere Marquette and Us importance to so many seciions of ..Michigan, all of its competitors should Vie allowed to increase their rates to the point authorized for the i'cro IManiuette, or otherwise the relief intended for it would partly fail. We think, however, that the legislature cannot properly do more than to authorize the road in any given class to collect a rate of fare which will a mount to a reasonable return when judiciously and economically operated. Jf competition with otlu r roads preent it from receiving the maximum benefit of its authorized rates Ave do not believe that the legislature lor that reason only should pass laws to take unnecessary toll from the people for the purpose of regulating competitive conditions. Ilellec Increase lVaiblr. "The committee believes that the legislature can grant at ba.t this much of an increase to the road whose fares would advance by the terms of this bill, with full conhdence that passenger rates would not be contributing more than a proper proportion to the entire operating expense of the roads; ami that patrons of those roads can ami should feel that the added cost is certainly not moro than the giving an equivalent for the j-ericcs of the carrier." When the bill comes up in the senute this afternoon. Sen. Williams of the upper peninsula will propose an amendment allowing all upper peninsula railroads earning under ?:'..00o a mile to charge three cents a mile, and those earning more than that to charge two and a ha I? cents. The amendment will also include a proviHon that if such a plan rs deolarod unconstitutional, it shall not affect the remainder of the bill.

Printing Point Does Not Bot Up and D own In an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter the point on the paper which is to receive the type impression is stationary at the instant the type hits. The carriage does not Lob up and down when the shift is made to write capitals. Why ? Because the type is shifted not the carriage.
The only movement of the carriage is back and forth on its closely adjusted ball bearing runways and this does not take place while the print is being made. There is no lifting of the carriage. This is one reason why L. C. Smith & Bros, typewriting is free from blurs and every letter in the right place.
