Gov Van Sant to Help Fight Railroad Consolidation
Attorney General Douglas, returning to St. Paul, says he will work with Governor Van Sant to prevent the consolidation of Great Northern and Northern Pacific railways via Northern Securities. He supports practical legislation to preserve competition and notes the act of 1881 is violated in spirit though not in letter. He suggests federal action under the Sherman Antitrust Act and Interstate Commerce Act may yield results.

The U S Supreme Court in Cotting & Higginson v Kansas Stock Yards Co and A A Godard reversed a circuit court decision upholding a Kansas law fixing stock yard charges.
