Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before OPEC took center stage, one state agency in Texas was widely believed to set oil prices for the world. The Texas Railroad Commission (TRC) evolved from its founding in 1891 to a multi-divisional regulatory commission that oversaw not only railroads but also a number of other industries central to the modern American economy: petroleum production, natural gas utilities, and motor carriers (buses and trucks). William R. Childs's unprecedented study of the TRC from its founding until the mid-twentieth century extends our knowledge of commission-style regulation. It focuses on the interplay between business and regulators, between state and national regulatory commissions, and among the three branches of government through a process of "pragmatic federalism." Drawing on extensive primary research, Childs demonstrates that the alleged power of regulatory commissions has been more constrained than most observers have recognized. As he shows, the myth of power was devised by the agency itself as part of building a civil religion of Texas oil. Together, the myth and the civil religion enabled the TRC to convince Texas oil operators to follow production controls and thus stabilized the American oil industry by the 1940s. The result of this fascinating study is a more nuanced understanding of federalism and of regulation, the forces shaping it, and its outcomes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pacific Railroad Commission: Speech of Hon. William W. Rice, of Massachusetts, in the House Abandoned by the Government and left without the control of any central authority, or common arbiter which could maintain them in harmony, they fell under the management of men of great business experience and capacity, generally arbitrary and self-willed, eager to promote and defend their own interests against all the world besides. In the fierce contention and turmoil of rivalry which ensued, the original scheme of the roads was lost sight of. The companies, intimately related in the acts by which they were created and subsidized; hare been aliens to each other in their operations. The congenital bonds by which they were united for the common welfare have been sundered. Their stock has been bulled and beared in the city exchanges now one and now another being the favorite of speculators. The strong lines have crowded the weaker to the wall. The traffic legitimately belonging to one has been diversed to another. States and cities have been deprived of the advantages carefully secured to them by the original legislation, and Territories reduced to the condition of tributary provinces by the very agencies which had been created for their use and convenience. These grievances at last became intolerable. The weaker corporations were unable to maintain themselves. The people of these States and Territories, smarting under the sense of disappointment, found themselves threatened by dangers of oppression and monopoly too great to be longer silently borne. They have invoked to their relief the sovereign power of Congress. They ask that the same authority which created, nourished, and fed these corporations shall be again exercised for their regulation and restraint, so that their original purpose may be at last assured. Although the discussions before the committee were confined to the roads belonging to the Union Pacific system, yet in our deliberations we became satisfied that like evils exist, or may be anticipated, in the operation of all the roads subsidized by the National Government belonging to the several transcontinental systems. The power and duty of Congress to correct these evils extends equally to them all, and we have therefore included all of them in the proposed measure of relief. The Pacific Railroads Enumerated. I introduce here, for convenience of reference, a schedule of those roads, giving their names, dates of congressional grants to them, number of acres granted, their length, terminal points, and the. authority incorporating them.
