Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Transportation Question But I cannot shut my eyes to the fact that these things are what business men must expect, unless business ethics is somewhat modified to meet existing conditions. Indus trial corporations grew up into power because they met the needs of the past. To stay in power they must meet the needs of the present, and arrange their ethics accordingly. If they can do it by their own voluntary development Of the sense of trusteeship, that is the simplest and best solution. But if not, one of two things will happen: vastly increased legal regulation or state ownership of monopolies. Those who fear the effects of increased government activity must prove by their acceptance of ethical duties to the public that they are not blind devotees of an industrial past which has ceased to exist, but are preparing to accept the heavier burdens and obligations which the industrial present carries with it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Transportation Problem: A Study of American Transportation Conditions; With a View to Ascertaining What Policy Americans Should Adopt in Order to Effectively Meet Existing Conditions and Be Prepared to Continue to Lead the Nations in the March of Progress and Civilization The writer has little hope that the result of his investigations will have any considerable effect in modifying the popular craze for inland waterways, but he feels sure that calm investigation will lead thought ful men to take the same view of the matter that he has been forced to take; and he is confident that such investigations will eventually be made and will lead to the abandonment of nearly all the inland waterways schemes, after a few more millions, or scores of millions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transportation, the Great Problem: Suggestion for Its Solution by Government Aid to the Railroads, Leaving Sufficient Government Control Without Operation of Railroads by the Government In a country of such vast extent as ours, transportation is the problem underlying all our prosperity; and with us, transportation means railroads, as no important nation is so inadequately supplied with internal water transportation as the United States. On the entire Atlantic Coast we have but one impor tant river that reaches the ocean - the Hudson; on the gulf coast there is only one - the Mississippi; and on the Pacific Coast not one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Railroad Problem: A Study in War and Reconstruction The object of this book is to provide for the intelligent citizen - including the large inarticulate public, as well as the student, the publicist, the legislator, the business man, the shipper, and the railroad security holder, executive, and employee - an analysis of the American railroad problem as it presents itself to-day. Of all the great current social and economic questions, it is doubtful whether any domestic problem is as significant or far-reaching, from the standpoint of the general welfare, as the problem of the railroads. Not only is every citizen vitally concerned in its satisfactory adjustment, but the degree of success which crowns the joint efforts of private enterprise and government activity in its solution will constitute the most convincing test of the efficacy of our democratic institutions in meeting the dominant tasks of this generation. At every point, therefore, the essential issues must be conceived in terms of their public bearing, and each measure designed to adjust conflicting claims must be assessed with reference to the common good. A great complexity of interests is involved. Even when reduced to most general categories, they comprehend those of the users of the transportation service, of the owners of the railroad properties, and of the employees engaged in the performance of transportation tasks. While each of these interests must be adequately safeguarded, the public stake in the proper functioning of the transportation industry transcends them all. "Justice," once wrote Dean Roscoe Pound, "is the ideal compromise between the activities of each and the activities of all in a crowded world."

Download or read book A Simple and Sure Solution of the Transportation Problem Classic Reprint written by Judge Peter S. and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Simple and Sure Solution of the Transportation Problem The Supreme Court Of the United States has held that it is not discrimination within the meaning of the Interstate Commerce Law to charge the big shipper a rate less than the little shipper; I know the argument on which that is founded, and I appreciate its strength. It is true that it costs less per ton to carry a large bulk than a small bulk. It is true that a less percentage of profit can be reasonably charged to the wholesaler than to the retailer. But these arguments made in behalf Of discrimination miss the mark, miss the whole core of the subject. In this country there is no such thing as size to a business man. The man of little size expects to get big. He has a right to get big. He has a right to have the atmosphere of equal Opportunity and equal conditions in which to grow, and excepting, of course, some unit, such as a ton or a car, the charge ought to be the same for the little as for the big shipper. I say, as _the law now stands on that subject, what is permitted under the law is an unjust thing and ought to be corrected by law. Now with this law on the subject of rebates, both direct and indirect, and this amendment to the law upon the subject 'of dis crimination, governed by the size Of shipments or the amount that each shipper is giving to the railroads yearly, it seems to me that the present law is pretty full and competent to meet. The conditions. I do not believe that we need much new prohibitive legislation. We have on our statute books already ample provision against rebates, except perhaps for some amendments on the subject Of discrimina tion between those who ship on a large scale and those who ship on a small scale. I do not believe we need much, if any, legislation on the subject of reasonableness of rates. The present Interstate Com merce Act in one Of its very first sections provides that all rates shall be reasonable and just. And it seems to me that the present law as it now stands is able to meet the question of the unreasonableness of rates. What is the law as it now stands? Upon a complaint being made to the Circuit Court that a rate is unreasonable the court, if it finds that the rate is unreasonable, may enter an order finding such rate unreasonable, and thereafter the railroad company is not at lib erty to charge that rate.
