Robert Lovett, resigning from the division of capital expenditures, argues for centralized national policy and careful regulation rather than state control. He warns about political pressure and inefficiency under government salaries, while endorsing competition in service and facilities within a national framework. He cautions that true rate competition is impossible, but service improvements are achievable.

A Wilson Plows 21 Acres in Bennington Township 1877
A Wilson of Kirnvin Kansas wrote the Courier that for seven days after Christmas in 1877 he plowed 21 acres on Mount Hope Farm in Bennington Township. The warm winter, fog and rain slowed work, freezing and soft snow limited plowing until spring. He used a 20 inch walking plow with three heavy horses, later switching to a large tractor and 10 plows with harrows, turning about 40 to 3 acres per day.
