Commentary on Jay Goulds methods and Indiana highway law
The Madison Herald notes the Chicago Times view on Jay Goulds posthumous value rise in his properties. It comments on Speaker Crisp snub at a New York Tariff Reform Club event and a Texas congressmans view of the incident. It covers the Road Congress recommendation to ban hitting loaded wagons on public highways unless tires are at least three inches wide after 1898, noting potential benefits for tire makers and burdens for farmers, and questions constitutionality. It also notes other recommendations align with legislative direction.
