Senate Passes Anti Rail Lawyer Ban Amid Land and Tax Probes
In a busy Senate session Mr. Beck introduced a bill barring members of Congress from serving as attorneys or paid agents for railroad companies that received U.S. charters or land grants. The measure carries a misdemeanor penalty up to 5000 dollars and a year in jail. The day also saw debates on the Northern Pacific land grant, the eight hour law extension for letter carriers, anti alien land holdings, oleomargarine taxes, and various resolutions and amendments affecting land entries, fisheries, and presidential pensions.
