Overall, General Hogg's record on civil rights and economic policy was mixed. While he supported an anti-lynching law, he also signed a law allowing segregation on trains. He fought against foreign ownership of land but did not address the issue of Texas companies owning vast amounts of land. He tried to eliminate railroad monopolies but did not address the practice of stock watering. His personal rivalry with Jay Gould may have influenced his stance on regulating railroad owners.
