Opposition to Wyoming Idaho admission sparks Senate inequality debate
The Boston Post reviews opposition in Congress to admitting Wyoming and Idaho as states, arguing the current Senate representation shows inequality from newer western states versus populous older states. It analyzes the impact on political balance, cites senators from Colorado, Montana, North and South Dakota, and Washington, and warns against expanding the disparity for partisan gain. It also covers Emperor William II's Reichstag remarks on labor reform and arbitration, noting a cautious, reassuring tone about disarmament and military credits. The piece critiques Fry's subsidy bill for steamship mail service and naval support costs, comparing with Britain’s expenditures, and questions the value of such government payoffs to American shipowners. It ends with a note on linseed oil from cotton plants and the planter’s new concerns about stalk waste.
