Hearing on Salmon Catching Bill in Alaska Senate
Representative Cushmans measure to regulate salmon catching and canning in Alaska rivers was reviewed by the House Committee on Territories. Fish Commissioner George W. Bowers urged favor, but telegrams from canners and industry interests requesting delay moved action to March 7. The bill aims to bar unlicensed fishing, cap catches, limit the season, and exclude Japanese from the trade as advocates claim the salmon business shifts away from Native hands.

Judicial review on Hepburn bill sparks Senate delay
The Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce postpones final action until February 23 on amending the Hepburn railroad rate bill to allow judicial review of ICC orders. Supporters argue courts must oversee commissions, citing the Maximum Rate case as proof of potential injustice without review. The debate centers on whether a political body should set rates with no court remedy, a change seen as revolutionary and potentially harmful to railroads, shippers, and communities. Separately, Kentucky Representative Hannah proposes a resolution urging Congress to fund the Abraham Lincoln homestead in Larue County as a national park.
