Isthmian canal vs. Interstate commerce reform
The piece argues Congress should prioritize enforcing Interstate Commerce Commission decisions to curb rate discrimination and equalize railroad costs, rather than focusing on an Isthmian canal decades from completion. It cites Milwaukee versus Minneapolis grain rates and Wisconsin cheese freight disparities as evidence of unjust classifications and favoritism. It contends such injustices affect present citizens more than canal prospects and urges action or abolition of the commission if it cannot enforce its findings.
