Blaine demands state control of state railways in Wisconsin
Governor-elect John J. Blaine urged immediate amendment of the Esch Cummins Law to restore state railroad commission powers over intrastate transportation. He argued present chaos harms farmers and urged Congress to empower state bodies to regulate intra state rates and ensure adequate service for Wisconsin and other states. He warned Wisconsin bears the burden of underdeveloped rail systems and called for action to protect the state’s agricultural and industrial interests. He spoke to the Wisconsin Potato Growers Association on centralization of power. He noted the potential crop losses if potatoes cannot be moved to markets and urged cooperation across farm organizations to push legislation easing storage and distribution of farm products.
