Would Let Nation Take Road From James J Hill Opinion on Government Control

He estimated reproduction costs at about 40 000 per mile excluding terminals and docks, rising to roughly 60 000 per mile with those properties included.

Roosevelt Warns California on Japanese Exclusion Bill
Governor Gillette transmits Roosevelt's reply warning that a California ballot on excluding Japanese labor would conflict with national plans.
