Need for Judicial Review of Interstate Commerce Commission
Congress and the Hepburn bill must provide explicit judicial review to curb discretionary power. History shows without it the ICC could enforce policies contrary to Congress. Since 1905 only eight of forty five court cases favored the commission, proving the need for review to prevent abuse and protect statutory goals.

Mistake in Land Office Revealed During Senate Debate
In yesterday's Senate discussion of a resolution by Senator Aldrich on extending tribal relations for the Five Civilized Tribes, it was disclosed a land office error issued patents to tribes with a reversion clause to the United States. The patent language tied reversion to the Cherokee Nation existing, not the Cherokee Indians as a nation, risking railroad grants attaching upon reversion. Senators Spooner, Teller, Bailey and La Follette urged correction, and the measure, with Clapp’s amendment, passed to guard government reversionary rights pending legislation.
