Hadley and the Railroads in Missouri Policy Battle
Jefferson City March 27. The Republican record on railroad rates is clear. In 1907 Governor Hadley advised fixing state rates for passengers and freight and supported a 2 cent passenger rate and higher freight limits. A federal injunction halted the 2 cent rate, with Judge McPherson ruling 24 cents per mile reasonable, while Hadley and later Major pursued appeal and possible suspending writs. Republicans back Hadley as negotiations with railroads proceed, seeking a temporary agreement pending Supreme Court decision. The piece urges careful party renewal, calls for a statewide statute revision, constitution overhaul, and drafting capable leaders to build a stronger Missouri GOP.
