Railroads and river transport reform urged by Senator Wilson
In a letter from Farmtecp Iowa dated April 30, 1887 Senator Jas F Wilson argues against suspending the long and short haul rule. He supports a pro rata per mile system, urges state regulation of commerce, and envisions Iowa tying river and rail routes to lower rates. He warns against delays and calls for swift, prudent action by Iowa and other states.

Towa's Opportunity Keokuk Get City
The piece recalls efforts years ago led by Mr. McCrary to build Iowa’s commercial system around the Mississippi and Missouri as base lines. An informal Keokuk conference formed a citywide movement, gaining support from Iowa inland and Mississippi Valley cities, but capital control by New York and Boston blocked progress. Now times are riper with Senator Wilson endorsing the policy as Iowa’s highest wisdom.
