Congress Nears End as Radicals Expand Federal Control
The Fifty ninth Congress ends with a wave of centralizing reforms led by interstate commerce laws, the Pure Food and Meat Inspection acts, and a major Panama Canal appropriation nearing 43 million. Congress also shifts toward rail and oil trust regulation, statehood moves for Oklahoma, and tariff changes affecting denatured alcohol. The session authorizes nearly 900 million in general appropriations and broad investigative powers for the next session.
