At the regular session Tafl sent
to congress the bill drawn by his
attorney general amending the
commerce law. It was to be pass

made some chances, but it was
in the senate that the progres

weakened government control. Do
Nebraska republicans regard that
bill as it came from the White
house a "statesmanlike" docu
