Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Public Utilities in the United States The purpose in writing the present book has been to analyze the factors involved in the question of Government ownership of public utilities. The writer tried to convey his conviction that the question of Government ownership of public utilities and especially railroads in the United States is essentially one not of railroad management and operation itself, but of general economics and politics. To his mind, Government ownership of public utilities means absolute Government control not only of the industries but also of the politics in the various States and in the Union generally. It means practically, if not formally, abolition of our democratic institutions and of the very spirit of democracy, and substitutes for the rule of the people, for the people, and by the people, an autocracy of the central government. It means abolition of the present division of the country into forty-eight sovereign and independent States, and reduction of the States to simple electral districts, as well as loss by the States of their rights to tax railroad properties within their boundaries as an exercise of their right of sovereignty. It means also forcing into politics our great corporations, and introducing a spirit of corruption and political subserviency at a time when the spirit of militant democracy is awakened in the land by the events of the past four years. It means also giving one of the most potent arguments into the hands of the extreme socialist groups and thus reinforcing the sinister cohorts of enemy and Bolshevist propaganda. The writer desires to make it perfectly clear that at no time does he wish to imply that advocates of Government ownership are harboring such intentions as abolishing the democratic institutions of this country or assisting the enemy in his vicious endeavor to disorganize and destroy our nation. In a matter of national life, however, it is not the intentions that count but the facts, and it is with facts and not intentions that the author of the present book has tried to deal.

Book excerpt: The near-unanimous consensus among climate scientists is that the massive burning of gas, oil, and coal is having cataclysmic impacts on our atmosphere and climate. These climate and environmental impacts are particularly magnified and debilitating for low-income communities and communities of color. Energy democracy tenders a response and joins the environmental and climate movement with broader movements for social and economic change in this country and around the world. Energy Democracy brings together racial, cultural, and generational perspectives to show what an alternative, democratized energy future can look like. The book will inspire others to take up the struggle to build the energy democracy movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Control of Public Utilities: A Study of the Attitude of Our Courts Toward an Increase of the Sphere of Municipal Activity One of the most marked characteristics of American as of European civilization is the great development of urban life. This development has been not only extensive but intensive. Cities have increased not only in number but also in size, and not only are the problems incident to urban life becoming of interest to greater and still greater numbers of persons but the solution of these problems is at the same time becoming more difficult and more necessary. One of the methods of solving these problems is the extension of the sphere of municipal activity. At one time our conception of a city, similar to our conception of the government as a whole, was that it was an organization which should preserve order and, within the limits of the law which it was its duty to enforce, permit the greatest possible freedom of action to the individual, from whose initiative and energetic activity it was believed that the community as a whole would derive the utmost advantage. It was found, however, however, that unregulated or insufficiently regulated individual activity was followed in the life of our urban communities by such evils that it became necessary to have greater and greater recourse to the repressive activity of municipal as well as state governmental organs. Such repressive activity was believed at first in many instances to be inconsistent with the guarantees of individual rights contained in our constitutions.
