User talk:Yaksar/Higgby Act

Was there actually a "Higgby Act" passed by Congress in 1901?
This law is not listed in the "Popular Name" tables of U.S. laws, and I could not find it in lists of amendments to the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887; either with the above spelling or alternates such as "Higby," "Higbee" or "Higbie." Prior to the Elkins Act of 1903, the only amendments I've found are: It appears that the only ICC-related law passed in 1901 pertained to accident reporting. (March 3, 1901, ch. 866).

 * March 2, 1889,
 * February 10, 1891,
 * February 11, 1893,
 * February 8, 1895,.

Proposed deletion
I have searched the United States Code, a primary source on Federal legislation, and have found no such law or amendment called the "Higgby Act," or any amendment that could be so construed. There were no amendments to the Interstate Commerce Act passed in 1901. Moreover, assuming that this alleged law was sponsored by a member of Congress named Higgby, I searched for this name in the list of members of Congress circa 1901, and found no member with that name.

Moving name
Please stop moving the article's name. Not only is there no correct name, but the name you keep choosing is a misspelling of what it could possibly be related to. Moves will just add confusion to the AfD discussion.--Yaksar (let's chat) 06:41, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Its ok, there is no shame in you being confused. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 07:11, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm just gonna go and assume that you're misinterpreting my comment and not simply failing at making witty insults.--Yaksar (let's chat) 07:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
