THE FIGHT AGAINST MONOPOLIES The Constitutional Convention of 1879 attempted to regulate the railroads through creation of the State Board of Railroad Commissioners. Instead, the commission came under the political influence of the railroads and were powerless to oppose them for the next 30 years. The Southern Pacific Machine gained control of State and Local Politics. Efforts were made to break this control and monopoly, and a few victories uere scored. A. Fighting Southern Pacific 1. Battle of Mussel Slough a. Railroad Land b. "Starvation Valley" c. Tragedy at Brewers farm near Hanford 2. The Colton Letters a. David D. Colton, "Mr. Big 4 1/2" 3. Fight Against Funding Bill a. Adolph Sutro, Mayor San Francisco b. Huntington sponsors the Funding Bill to avoid repaying Federal loans 4. The San Pedro Harbor Fight a. Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce asks Federal aid for San Pedro b. Huntington and the Southern Pacific wants harbor at Santa Monica. QUESTIONS: 1. Why was the railroad cumnission unable to regulate the railroads? 2. What was the basic issue in the San Pedro Harber fight?

THE SANTA FE ENTERS CALIFORNIA The Big Four of Central Pacific Railroad found themselves stuck with a railroad after completing the Pacific Railroad in 1869. They set out to gain a complete monopoly of transportation in the West and the Southern Pacific Company of Kentucky was formed in 1884 as a holding company for its many interests. To keep other railroads out all feasible crossings of the Colorado River were secured by the Southern Pacific. A. History of the Santa Fe B. Struggle with the Southern Pacific for entrance to California 1. Plans to build to the Gulf of California C. Santa Fe reaches Los Angeles over Southern Pacific Tracks in 1885 1. Rate War Results QUESTIONS: 1. Why couldn't the Santa Fee cross the Colorado River? 2. Why did the Southern Pacific agree to the Santa Fe entering California?

THE BOOM OF THE EIGHTIES The flood tide of immigration that developed in the 1880's was not as large or as colorful as the gold rush years, but it was exciting and after the collapse of the "boom", it was found that the population of the state had increased about 40 percent in the ten year period, most of it in Southern California. This boom was brought on by railroad advertising and real estate promotion. A. Railroad Advertising 1. The effect of the rate war between Southern Pacific and Santa Fe 2. The advertising and sale of railroad land. B. Real Estate Promotion and Advertising 1. Voluntary Promotional organizations or "State Societies". 2. The Colony method of Settlement 3. Types of promotion and advertising C. The extent of the Boom 1. In 10 years - 40 percent population increase 2. Over 1,000,000 population in 1890 for first time QUESTIONS: 1. In what ways did the railroad promote the boom? 2. What was the total effect of the boom on California?

THE RISE OF CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURE Although gold was the cause that brought the first rush of visitors to California, it was agriculture that kept the settlers here. No longer is gold a significant part of the economy of the state, but the value of agricultural production in California each year is more than the total value of gold mined since Marshall picked up the first nugget.

  • He Politics of Business in California 1890-1920 SI 2.50
    he Politics of Business in California 1890-1920 SI 2.50 The Politics of Business in California. 1890-1920 Manse/ G. Blackford The American experience between the Civil War and World War I can perhaps be best understood as an attempt to reorder national life in the wake of a radical social and eco­ nomic disruption that was brought on by rapid industrialization. In California, even more than in other areas of the nation, fundamental and dramatic changes were to occur throughout the period as various sectors of the state's rapidly ex­ panding economy became both increasingly differentiated and more closely interdependent. Through a series of mergers and consolida­ tions, large, diversified, integrated, and multi­ level firms came to replace smaller, more specialized, independent, and single-level companies. Trade associations, marketing com­ bines, and other affiliations served to organize these emergent firms within each industry; and businessmen, acutely aware of a need for recognition of their status as members of a profession, began increasingly to act in con­ cert as a special-interest group, both in public, in their representations to legislative bodies, and in private, as apologists for commercial practice and as agents working to suppress competition and increase efficiency. Professor Blackford examines three of Cali­ fornia's more important basic productive in­ dustries—agriculture, oil, and lumber—and three of its principal supportive businesses — banking, investment banking, and insurance — together with two major issues that cut across industry lines: the growing movement to bring about state regulation of railroads and public utilities, and the effort to effect tax reform.

Like so many well-entrenched, traditional as- sumptions, this one is unwarranted. J. Evetts Haley, in editing one of the extremely rare accounts of the cattle drives to Califor- nia which preceded the Texas-to-Kansas experiment by a decade and a half, slapped the blame for this misunderstanding squarely on the writings of Emerson Hough.

COLUMBIA LAW REVIEW VOL. 114 JUNE 2014 NO. 5 ARTICLE THE ADMINISTRATIVE ORIGINS OF MODERN CIVIL LIBERTIES LAW Jeremy K. Kessler* This Article offers a new explanation for the puzzling origin of modern civil liberties law. Legal scholars have long sought to explain how Progressive lawyers and intellectuals skeptical of individual rights and committed to a strong, activist state came to advocate for robust First Amendment protections after World War I. Most attempts to solve this puzzle focus on the executive branch's suppression of dissent during World War I and the Red Scare. Once Progressives realized that a powerful administrative state risked stifling debate and deliberation within civil society, the story goes, they turned to civil liberties law in order to limit the reach of that state. Drawing on a wealth of unexplored archival material, this Article inverts the conventional story: It argues that lawyers within the executive branch took the lead in forging a new civil-libertarian consensus and that they did so to strengthen rather * David Berg Foundation Scholar, NYU School of Law; Ph.D.

Evans' best known work, The American Century, won critical acclaim when published in 1998, staying on the New York Times bestseller list for 10 weeks. The sequel, They Made America (2004), describes the lives of some of the country's most important inventors and innovators, and was named by Fortune as one of the best books in the 75 years of that magazine's publication.

  • The Creative Society Environmental Policymaking in California,1967
    The Creative Society Environmental Policymaking in California,1967-1974 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert Denning Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Paula M. Baker, Advisor Dr. William R. Childs Dr. Mansel Blackford Copyright By Robert Denning 2011 Abstract California took the lead on environmental protection and regulation during Ronald Reagan‟s years as governor (1967-1974). Drawing on over a century of experience with conserving natural resources, environmentally friendly legislators and Governor Reagan enacted the strongest air and water pollution control programs in the nation, imposed stringent regulations on land use around threatened areas like Lake Tahoe and the San Francisco Bay, expanded the size and number of state parks, and required developers to take environmental considerations into account when planning new projects. This project explains why and how California became the national leader on environmental issues. It did so because of popular anger toward the environmental degradation that accompanied the state‟s rapid and uncontrolled expansion after World War II, the election of a governor and legislators who were willing to set environmental standards that went beyond what industry and business believed was technically feasible, and an activist citizenry that pursued new regulations through lawsuits and ballot measures when they believed the state government failed. The environment had a broad constituency in California during the Reagan years. Republicans, Democrats, students, bureaucrats, scientists, and many businessmen tackled the environmental problems that ii threatened the California way of life.
