These defendants, in order to show the reasonableness of the total revenue drawn by them from the public, valued the entire property employed by the corporations in the public service, and then deducting the cost of operation, taxes, and depreciation from their gross receipts, calculated the balance as a species of rental upon the sum total which their schedules showed. In drawing up their schedules these defendants entered thereon all land to which they claimed title, however acquired, whether by private gift, government grant, condemnation proceedings under eminent domain, or amicable purchase, and whether the land bought was paid forwith money contributed by stockholders from their own funds, or with money appropriated to the purpose out of surplus earnings, after operating expenses, taxes, depreciation, fixed charges, and dividends had been defrayed. The entire acreage thus obtained the defendants caused their own officials to appraise at its supposed present market value, thus charging the unearned increment to capital, and it was upon this valuation that the rental the public owed the companies for the use of the land-as a highway was calculated. The chief questions propounded by the Commission for argument related to this method of valuing the defendants' land. The land itself naturally falls into four categories: 1st, Land acquired a...

This book was released on 2022-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the widespread popularity of automobiles, buses, and trucks, freight and passenger trains bound the nation together. The Station Agent and the American Railroad Experience explores the role of local frontline workers that kept the country's vast rail network running. Virtually every community with a railroad connection had a depot and an agent. These men and occasionally women became the official representatives of their companies and were highly respected. They met the public when they sold tickets, planned travel itineraries, and reported freight and express shipments. Additionally, their first-hand knowledge of Morse code made them the most informed in town. But as times changed, so did the role of, and the need for, the station agent. Beautifully illustrated with dozens of vintage photographs, The Station Agent and the American Railroad Experience, brings back to life the day-to-day experience of the station agent and captures the evolution of railroad operations as technology advanced.
