Minnesotans Clash Over Northern Securities Fight
In St Paul on January 7 Governor Van Sant delivered a joint assembly message denouncing the Northern Securities Company as a device for a transportation monopoly. He urged stronger Minnesota laws to curb the merger of Great Northern and Northern Pacific lines and praised state efforts, while noting Washington and federal actions. He proposed tax reforms, road and forestry measures, and a capitol completion plan as part of wider state policy. The message stressed legal battle against corporate power and enforcement of state authority.
