Farmers Congress Extends Signal Service and Rail Policy
The Farmers Congress at St Pace on August 20 adopted resolutions urging a national railroad commission, extension of the telegraph signal service, interstate commerce regulation, and a $3,000,000 appropriation to stamp out contagious livestock diseases. It also backs a 1867 non tariff, rice and sugar tariffs, stricter fat steer laws, and U S incorporation of the congress. A separate note from Curiaco on August 26 outlines a western passenger traffic pool using three to four year averages to apportion guarantees among lines, with excess shared proportionally. Not kidnapped but arrested for criminal libel reported at Hugoton. Baseball scores and racing results from various cities follow.
