States Rights Fight Starts in Congress
Senator Ladd of North Dakota, a Republican and Non Partisan League member, opens a push to curb federal powers with a bill to revise interstate commerce laws. The measure seeks to restore to states the power to set railroad freight and passenger rates within their borders, arguing federal rule over state administrations is autocratic. The move follows a Supreme Court grain case limiting state authority over interstate shipments and aims to reassert state control over commerce policy.
