Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Liberty and Governmental Regulation of the Railroads The difficulty with those gentlemen is that they fail to differentiate between that commercial liberty which from the beginning has prevailed within all our borders and' that contemporaneous restraint upon common carriers in the work of preventing acts prejudicial to justice and order in the conduct of interstate commerce. No positive infor mation is a orded in regard to the nature or methods of the proposed governmental supervision and control of the railroads and of the interstate commerce of the country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railroads and the Commerce Clause So much attention having been attracted to the subject of railroad legislation by the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act, and the litigation it has given rise to, and by the active steps taken in many States toward the regulation of railroads, it occurred to the author that the time was ripe for a work on the constitutional relations of the rail roads to the National government, especially as those relations grow out of and are defined by the Commerce Clause. In investigating this subject the author soon came to the conclusion, that this work would be incomplete if it did not also contain a consideration of the reciprocal effects of the National and State powers over railroads.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroads: Rates and Regulation It is this helpless and unorganized general public, always in need of an advocate, which, perhaps, most strongly appeals to the academic mind. If there be lack of judicial poise in this regard, it is, at all events, palliated by free confession in advance. Nor is the history of the assumption by public authority of its inherent right to control railroads, as narrow an interest as it at first appears. Transportation, as a service, is the commodity produced by common carriers. The manner in which the price of this commodity has been brought under governmental regulation has a direct bearing upon another problem just beginning to open up; namely that of the con trol by the state of the prices of other things. It is not unlikely, in my judgment, that the final solution of the so called Trust Problem in the United States, whether for good or ill, may ultimately contain as one important feature, the determination by governmental authority of reasonable prices for such prime necessities of life as milk, ice, coal, sugar and oil, when produced under monopolistic conditions. This View is shared by my colleague Professor Taussig in his Principles of Economics. It is also distinctly set forth by President Van Hise of the University of Wisconsin, in his recent Con centration and Control. When the seed of such an industrial policy is planted, as I believe it possible in time, the soil will have been richly prepared for its reception by our experience in the determination of reasonable charges for the services of railroads and other public utilities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Regulation of Railways: Including a Discussion of Government, Ownership Versus Government Control When the preparation of this book was begun the United States was at peace with all the world and in a state of industrial depression. While the book was being finished the nation was making gigantic preparations for developing and exerting its tremendous potential strength in the Great War, and was also in the midst of a period of extraordinary, although perhaps not healthy, industrial activity and prosperity. Before the book could be published President Wilson decided that the system of private management and government regulation of railroads, which had prevailed since the Hepburn act went into effect in 1906, was not adapted to securing the efficiency in transportation required during the war; and on December 28, 1917, he took, on behalf of the federal government, direct control of all railroads. He appointed a Director General of Railroads having supreme authority over regulation and management. The foregoing summary statements show how rapidly important developments recently have occurred in the field of transportation. The new system of government control is designed to serve merely as a war measure. It contemplates the return of each existing railway in unimpaired physical condition to the management of its owners on the coming of peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carrier Crisis: Plain Spoken Treatment of the Government Ownership of Railroads Issue, the Canal a Commercial Liberator The carrier issue is the biggest question the Ameri can people have to deal with. It is a question of such broadening scope that security points to the earliest possible settlement of the matter consistent with prudent national conduct. The proposal that the nation shall buy immunity from its Oppressors, or that we shall, as a people, do any thing akin to compromise with outlaw combines of predatory wealth, I hold to be nu-american. If we have lost control of public affairs, and have, as a people, surrendered the mastery of public conduct that an honest, intelligent and independent people by right own and enjoy, then may we play the weakling and talk of compromise. Believing, however, that a goodly majority of the voters of America have sense enough to know what isgood for themselves, honesty enough to be trusted alone with the ballot, and courage enough to spurn intimidation, I am convinced that the truth of the matter at issue, broadly diffused, constitutes the solvent remedy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railroads: Government Control and Reconstruction Policies Up to the middle of the decade 1900 to 1910, the steady growth in traffic and the economies from improved Operating methods, enabled the rail roads to absorb the burden of higher wages and other costs, and to move the traffic at lower rates per ton-mile.

Download or read book The Law Relating to the Interstate Commerce Commission written by John Horatio Nelson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law Relating to the Interstate Commerce Commission: Sherman Anti-Trust Act; Bureau of Corporations The Act to regulate commerce was the first effort of the general government to regulate the great transportation business of the country. That business, though of a quasi-public nature, and therefore subject to governmental regulation, has been carried on by private capital through corporations. The fact that it was a quasi - public business always prevented the owners of capital invested in it from charging, like owners of other property, any price they saw fit for its use. A reasonable compensation was all they could exact, but it must be remembered that railroads are the private property of their owners, and while from the public character of the work in which they are engaged the public has the power to prescribe rules for securing faithful and efficient service and equality between shippers and communities, yet in no proper sense is the public a general manager. It is the duty of the courts to see that legislation limiting charges for transportation is not carried beyond its clear scope and that the owners of private capi tal invested in the business of transportation be not deprived of their liberty of contract and right of control any further than the lawmaking power has intended that they should be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This examination of the relationship of the economy to political process in the United States from 1877 to 1916 shows how the railroad industry encouraged and relied on national politics to solve its economic problems, and created a precedent for government regulation of the economy in the twentieth century. The continuity in governmental regulation from 1877 to 1900, in the Progressive Era, and in the administrations of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson are pointed out. The origin of each major federal railroad act and contending forces is analyzed. Federal regulation of the railroads, probably the most important example of federal intervention in the economy from the Civil War to World War I is used as a key in reassessing the motives behind Progressivism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroad Regulation In the Middle West the situation was radically diflerent. This country had been opened up rapidly to settlement after the Civil War, through the aid furnished by the construction of railroads and the passage of the Homestead Act. The result was that by the beginning of the seventies, farmers were settled in these agricultural regions, and were dependent absolutely upon the railroads for the disposal of their grain and for the bring ing in of their supplies. The roads were largely financed by eastern and foreign capital, and even to this day the amount of capital invested in railroads by the Middle West is comparatively small. It is always unfortunate for the people of one section of a country to have to pay tribute to another section, and this the inhabitants of the Mid dle West felt that they were doing for the railroad service they were getting. Mis understandings and antagonism naturally developed in the West between the railroads and the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
