Summary: John Barnes and term on Railroad Commission
Comment: I found myself thumbing through this book...not because I was smitten by 'all things train' but because I was researching my great uncle, John Barnes. What started as a query about his political activies (appointed by fightin' Bob La Follette to serve on Wisconsin's 1st Railroad Commission and later elected to the State Supreme Court) became an investigation into the organization of railroad commissions, the men (always men) who served on them and who ultimately drove the commission's engine toward the future. I was thoroughly impressed by the research done by Mr Caine (and would love to converse with him). The book provides an in-depth and well documented trail of give and take between the governor's office, the legislature and the commission. This book provides a real lesson in the democratic process of how a group of individuals with a shared passion moved the State legislature to pass laws that were fair for all concerned.
