La Follette presses bold rail lands curb in senate
In Washington on March 8, Senator LaFollette urged a record that railroads and their stockholders cannot own coal lands in Indian Territory. He argued government power exceeds corporate control and urged railroads be kept as common carriers, challenging the idea that Congress could not stop such land grabs. The discussion also touched on committee questioning and a Philippine tariff bill, with four Republicans voting to table the measure.
