Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Service Corporations and the Public William G. McAdoo, president of the company which built the Hudson tunnels, was born near Marietta, Georgia, October 31, 1863. He is descended from a family which has been prominent in the public and military affairs of the South for nearly three centuries. Mr. McAdoo's father, William G. McAdoo, M.A., LL.D., was a judge; a soldier both in the Mexican and in the Civil Wars; for two terms District Attorney General of the State of Tennessee; and in his later years Professor of English and History in the University of Tennessee. The Civil War swept away his possessions, and William G. McAdoo, the son, was born and raised in poverty. Far from bewailing his fate, he looks back on the privation of his early life as a most fortunate circumstance. In a public address not long ago he said: "I was brought up in Georgia, in the path of General Sherman's famous march to the sea. As Henry Grady once remarked, 'General Sherman was a bit careless with fire, ' and for this reason, among other things, he has never been a popular man in Georgia. For myself, however, I feel that I owe General Sherman a debt of gratitude. I believe that character is produced and developed to the highest degree by hardships, sufferings and poverty. I have never doubted that whatever of character I have developed has been, in a large measure, due to the surroundings and conditions which General Sherman forced upon the people of our section during that great war." Mr. McAdoo entered the University of Tennessee but was forced to leave in his junior year in order to take a position as clerk in the United States Circuit Court. His spare time was spent in the study of law, and at the age of twenty-one he was admitted to the bar. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lambasting Public Service Corporations A Few years ago I was muckraking public service corporations. I abhorred public service men and they despised me. Our mutual hatred was the result of misunderstanding. And the public service corporations were largely at fault. They had never told me anything about their problems or their service other than try to persuade me to use it. They were stand-offish, secretive, mysterious and suspicious acting. Their's was not a business founded on friendship and apparently they made no effort to make and keep friends. They were selling a necessity that had to be used whether you were friendly or not? If they sold their output, they seemed to be satisfied. Notice that I say "they seemed to be satisfied." They were not satisfied! I have since learned that they wanted to be friendly and wanted friends, but they had been repulsed so often in their advances that it seemed to be misdirected energy to try any longer. For years they had borne in silence a tirade of censure and abuse from the Yellow Back newspapers and nondescript politicians, that had almost led them to believe that it was hopeless to try and make friends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Assessment of Public Service Corporations: Paper Read at the Fifth Annual Conference Held Under the Auspices of the International Tax Association, at Richmond; Va;; September 5-8, 1911 The assessment of public service corporations has seemed to be a matter of peculiar difficulty. It has been, at any rate, treated as such from the start, until it has rather come to be admitted as something impossible of settlement, and to be left in the class of economic questions which are not really to be settled, but rather to be dismissed as unsettled, and to some extent, insolvable. This characterization may or may not be strictly accurate in particular cases, but it perhaps represents pretty fairly the feeling that exists generally, and will at least serve the purpose of the writer as a starting point. Under the conditions above suggested, the question might be treated as the purely theoretical one of how these corporations might properly he assessed, looked at from the economic standpoint; and how, if you please, they should be assessed in order to make the burden upon them, "equal and uniform," as the expression is, with the burden upon other forms of property. Again, the question might be discussed by the assumption of some particular method as being capable of application so as to reach fair and just results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Commission De Public Service Corporations: To the General Assembly, January Session, 1909 To the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut, at its January Session, 1909: The undersigned were appointed a Commission by the last General Assembly to consider the laws of this State relating to public service corporations and to recommend to this General Assembly legislation to correct such evils and defects as this Commission might find to exist therein, or any legislation on the subject which it might deem desirable for the public interest. (Special Laws of Connecticut, 1907, Chap. 470.) After careful consideration we have reached the conclusion that it would be desirable to vest in a permanent Public Utilities Commission the following powers and duties: 1. To grant franchises to public service corporations. 2. To supervise the condemnation of land and construction of fixtures by these corporations in so far as the same affects the public safety or interest. 3. To supervise the capitalization of these corporations. 4. To ascertain the facts relating to the financial condition of these corporations; the physical condition of their plants and equipments, and the causes of accidents resulting from their operation. 5. To supervise their operation in so far as the same substantially affects the public safety. 6. To fix the rates chargeable when existing rates are unreasonable. Before giving in detail our reasons for these conclusions we would state that in our opinion the duties of a Public Utilities Commission should be purely supervisory and not managerial. The management of the ordinary affairs of these corporations ought to be left to the corporations themselves.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Taxation of Public Service Corporations In what form, then, does the property of such a corporation exist? Taking its chief terms, it is represented by long strips Of land, expanded here and there for the location of switches, station yards, city terminals, etc. On this land is Constructed the roadbed with its cuttings, embankments, viaducts, bridges and tunnels, and these carry the track with its ties, rails, switch ing and Signal systems, etc. There are also the station build ings, freight sheds, elevators, machine shops, round houses, coaling stations and the costly city terminals and offices. Then there is the vast amount of rolling stock of all kinds and its equipment. To maintain and operate this great array of property there is employed an army of men, from general managers to porters, involving a heavy payroll. I leave out of account all the secondary enterprises in which a railroad com pany may be involved, in the way of hotels, parks, mines, timber limits, mills, lands, etc., as being not strictly essential to the functions of a railway as a public service corporation.

Download or read book Cases on Public Service Companies written by Bruce Wyman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cases on Public Service Companies: Public Carriers, Public Works, and Other Public Utilities This collection of cases is designed to show the development of the law of public service in its most modem forms: the public carriers, the public works, and the other public utilities. The distinction between the private callings - the rule - and the public, callings - the exception - is a striking feature of the law governing business relations as it is to-day. The causes of the division are economic rather than strictly legal. Free competition, the very basis of the modem social organization, superseded almost completely medieval restrictions, but it has just come to be recognized that the process of free competition fails in some cases to secure the public good, and it has been reluctantly admitted that some control is necessary over such lines of industry as are affected with a public interest. At this point the problem of public callings becomes a legal one. No one can carefully study the authorities on this subject without feeling that we are just entering upon a great and important development of the common law. What branches of industry will eventually be of such public importance as to be included in the category of public callings, and to what extent the control of the courts will be carried in the effort to solve by law the modem economic problems, it would be rash to predict. Enormous business combinations, virtual monopolization of the necessaries of life, the strife of labor and capital, now the concern of the economist and the statesman, may prove susceptible of legal control through the doctrines of the law of public callings. These doctrines are not yet clearly defined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Special Law Governing Public Service Corporations and All Others Engaged in Public Employment, Vol. 1 The spirit of our present age demands that the great business enterprises shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of society. The present programme of organized society is to see to it that those Who have gained a substantial control of their market shall not be left free to exploit those who look to them to supply their needs. Men now see clearly that freedom of action may, even in the industrial world, work injuriously for the public, and it must then be restrained in the public interest. We have seen the results of unrestrained power; and we no longer wish those who have control over our destinies left free to do with us as they please. Liberty does not mean to men at the beginning of the twentieth century what it meant to men at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

Download or read book Taxation of Corporations and Personal Income in New York Classic Reprint written by Henry M. Powell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taxation of Corporations and Personal Income in New York In June, 1918, the author in his preface to The New York Franchise Tax on Manufacturing and Mercantile Corporations, made the statement in calling attention to the adoption by the states of the federal plan of income taxation, that we may there fore look forward to the extension of the principle of net income taxation as a permanent feature of our state revenue system. At that time, there had been in successful operation for more than a year, in the State of New York, the act taxing manufacturing and mercantile corporations on net income based on their return to the United States Treasury Department. This law has now been ex tended by the New York Legislature of 1919 so as to apply to all business corporations, including personal service corporations, and the rate has been increased from three to four and one-half per cent. The same Legislature acting upon the recommendations of the Joint Legislative Committee on Taxation, headed by Senator Fred erick M. Davenport and Assemblyman Franklin W. Judson, passed a law taxing personal incomes modeled on the federal plan (article 16 of the Tax Law), which, together with Articles 9 and 9a gov erning the taxation of public service corporations, banks, insurance companies and business corporations, forms the subject of the pres ent volume. Parts I, II and III cover the taxation of corporations and the remedy by certiorari. Part IV treats of the tax on per sonal incomes. These subjects may not appear at first glance to be closely related, and yet, the general scheme of both New York acts is taken from the federal income tax laws. In their state administration they are closely allied by reason of the fact that the common remedy of certiorari is applied generally to the cor poration taxes as well as to the personal income tax. So, too, in their method of collection, they are similar. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
