South Dakota Railways Under Fire in Legislative Session
The Railway Age denounces South Dakota laws curbing rail and corporate investment as harmful to extending lines. It notes the state has 3,200 miles of rails in 1906, Iowa 9,853 miles, and argues for building roads to attract outside capital. The piece cites Milwaukee Road President Warling supporting retrenchment and questions narrow state measures. It ends with a garbled note about an elder woman and a daughter in testimony.
