Pennsylvania Forestry Bill Sparks Farmer Concern
Farmers in Pennsylvania oppose House Bill No. 226 which would empower the Forestry Department to issue permits for cutting timber on private wood lots. The measure risks fines or jail for unauthorized cutting and could raise property taxes without guaranteeing timely access to wood. Critics warn it would hinder farm operations and raise costs for lumber and farm products.

Railways and Their Property Rights Explored
The article analyzes the railway franchise as a public grant of rights of way and operation. It argues railways owe prompt, efficient service at reasonable rates and that communities may revoke charters if discrimination or poor service occur. It also compares rail privilege to private land rights and unearned increments from growth.
Property rights and railways in the public interest
April Scribner questions why railways should be treated differently from other property when considering valuation and compensation. She argues that large initial outlays and risk do not justify depriving railway owners of gains from population and wealth growth shared by all property holders. The piece contrasts transportation’s unique role with standard private property rights.
