Bryan Opposes Federal Rail Regulation Expansion
William J. Bryan testified before the Newlands Joint Committee on Interstate Commerce arguing states should regulate transportation within their borders rather than surrender to federal control. He warned centralized regulation could lead toward government ownership, threaten competition, and politicize railroads, while supporting state actions on securities and private railroad capitalization adjustments. Financial figures released by Alfred P. Thom showed declining earnings relative to capitalization from 1903–1915, with Halford Erickson to provide more data later.
