Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John J. McCook
President Roosevelt commends the importance of Colonel McCook’s letter. He did not know of the incidents that McCook said happened under President William McKinley but has been assured that railroad and rebate law has been well-enforced in the 18 months of his own administration. Surprised to hear McCook’s opinion, Roosevelt strongly disagrees that there is no occasion for new legislation on the subject of railroad rates and rebates. Roosevelt says both he and Attorney General William Henry Moody believe that the problem cannot simply be fixed by ensuring existing penalties are enforced. Roosevelt asks for permission to share McCook’s letter with Moody.
