Iowa Faces Choice in Rail Rate Reform Fight
Governor Cummins leads Iowa anti monopoly reforms and backs federal rail rate legislation, while Senator Dolliver supported rate reform but faces political pressure from allies of Senator Allison. Judge Cowan, key rate reform advocate, urges Iowa to back Cummins in the crucible of national policy. The piece argues for pragmatic leadership over past loyalties, warning that failure to unite could delay critical rate controls amid looming railroad rate increases and corporate pressure.
