Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Rudolph Kleberg, of Texas in the House of Representatives: Saturday, January 22, 1898 The House being in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and having under consideration the bill (H. R. 6896) making appropriations for the current and contingent expenses of the Indian Department and for fulfilling treaty stipulations with various Indian tribes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1899, and for other purposes - The Chairman. The Clerk will report the amendment for information. The amendment was read, as follows: Strike out lines 3,4,5,6, and 7, page 57, and insert the following: "That in the transportation of all supplies furnished by the United States Government to the various Indian tribes in the United States, and transported for that purpose from one State or Territory into another State or Territory, the interstate Commerce Commission shall, upon the application of the Secretary of the Interior, after reasonable notice to all roads affected thereby, prescribe such maximum rates of freight charges as shall, in the judgment of the commission, be fair and reasonable; which rates, when so fixed, shall be binding upon all railroads and connecting lines engaged in the transportation of like or similar freights: and any railroad or connecting line refusing to receive and transport such freight shall forfeit to the United States the sum of $5,000 for each day they shall so refuse to receive and transport the same, to be recovered upon the suit of the United States in any court having jurisdiction." Mr. Sherman. I do not understand that the gentleman offers that amendment now. Mr. Little. Oh, certainly not. That is an amendment I propose to offer at the proper time. Mr. Kleberg. I thank the gentleman from Arkansas [Mr. Little] for his kindness. I wish to make some general observations in regard to what he has said as to an amendment which he will offer at the proper time. I cordially agree with him that the amendment should be ingrafted on the bill before its passage, because it is certainly not right that this Government should pay charges for freight out of all reason to some privileged railroad corporations. It seems from this statement and from the letter which has been read before the committee that it is true that these railroad companies have combined, or, in other words, pooled their issues, and are charging the Government rates entirely out of proportion with the economical administration of the Government and the expenditure of the Government money.
