Culberson Defends Federal Power to Fix Rates in Senate
Texas Senator Culberson spoke for over two hours defending congressional power to regulate interstate commerce and fix railroad rates. He argued the commerce clause allows rate making, criticized Dolliver Hepburn proposals, and rebutted Foraker Knox and others on court limits. He read his bill, noted Northern Securities Court language, and stressed federal and state powers.
