Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Ownership of Railways The Railways are Public Highways and as such, be ing necessary to transportation as a means of exchange, they should be owned and operated lay Society in the interest of Society. Highways are not private but public institutions, and when government lets out the construction of its highways, giving to corporate bodies the privilege of taxing those who use them, there is always retained a superintending power, a right to regulate the charges imposed upon the public. That the government has a right to prescribe rates has been so well established by judicial decisions that it is no longer a question for discussion. It is the duty of the State to provide inter-communication, and the chartering of a railroad by a private company is for the purpose of performing said duty for the State. Says Chief Justice Black A railway is a public highway for the public benefit, and the right of the corporation to exact a uniform, reasonable, stipulated tell from those who pass over it, does not make its main use a private one. The public have an interest in such a road when it belongs to a corporation as clearly as they would 1f it were free, or if the tolls were payable to the State.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Congressional History of Railways in the United States, Vol. 2: The Railway in Congress: 1850 1887 The period covered by the present work extends from 1850 to 1887, from the beginning of the rapid growth of railway systems to the Interstate Commerce Act. In but a little more than a generation there was tremendous expansion in railways, in society, in social consciousness, and in government. Nor mally, the aid aspect became smaller and smaller, dwindling to a sort of negative aid which a railway receives when the friction of political machinery retards or prevents the hostile working of social conscience or public Opinion; and regulation grew, chang ing from a negative disburdening of commerce from private restrictions to a. More positive control. The demand for rail ways had become more qualitative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development of the Railroads of North America and of Their Control by the State Commissioners had learned how to make the railroads and canals subserve party politics rather than the public welfare, by political assessments on employees, with the inevitable em ployment of unnecessary men to swell the contribution, and over load the payrolls, by the liberal distribution of passes, and by using other means of conferring favors to shippers and parti sans. Thus political corruption absorbed the revenues of the canals and the railroads, and resulted, after an agonizing death struggle, in the demise of the state ownership of railroads in Pennsylvania. To-day the only other railroad north of the Mexican Boundary owned by the state is the Intercolonial Rail road of Canada. Be the reason what it may, it has never been made to pay - sometimes not even its legitimate operating ex penses. Will the experiment of state ownership in Mexico be more successful? The following extracts as to early Railroads in Pennsylvania are from The Traveller's Guide, Saratoga, 1833.
