James S. Hogg, the first native-born governor of Texas, fought against corruption and monopolistic practices in the late 19th century, particularly targeting the railroad industry. He advocated for reforms to regulate monopolies and improve the rights of farmers and consumers. Hogg's administration focused on establishing the Texas Railroad Commission to oversee railroad rates and practices, striving to promote fairness and competition in the state's economy.
