Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railways and Their Rates: With an Appendix on the British Canal Problem The following pages represent an attempt to set before traders and general readers the actual position of British railways with regard to (1) the complaints advanced from time to time on the subject of rates and charges, and (2) the origin, operation, and circumstances of our own railways as compared with those of railways abroad, and especially on the Continent of Europe. Much has been heard from the traders themselves, and from their sympathizers in the press, on the subject of their grievances against the railways, but comparatively little has been said with a view to showing that there may be another side to the story. That other side I here seek to present, and those who would pass a fair judgment on the whole matter should, I beg to suggest, duly consider the case for the defence (if I may venture to offer my statement from that point of view), as well as the case so often and so energetically advanced on behalf of the complainants.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Rates: English and Foreign A part of the information upon which these observations are founded was obtained for my own guidance, in considering the complaints as to Railway rates and the comparisons between railways in the United Kingdom and abroad. At the i suggestion of the representatives of some of the Companies the subject was followed up. These observations have expanded beyond my original intentions; but they have been prepared for a limited object; they do not purport to exhaust the subject. I have endeavoured to treat it fairly, and to pay due regard alike to the interests of the traders, the public, and the railway companies; interests which may, to a hasty observer, occasionally appear conflicting, but which, looked at reasonably, and in the light of fall information, are seen to be identical.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railways and the Traders: A Sketch of the Railway Rates Question in Theory and Practice From China to Peru - the statement is made in all literalness - the nations of the world have, after somewhat more than half a century's experience, finally decided either that their governments shall own and work their railways, or at least that in return for a generous measure of State support their railways shall accept an equally ample measure of State con trol. Two countries only are to be excepted - im portant exceptions without doubt, seeing that between them they contain half the railway mileage and half the railway capital of the world - the United Kingdom and the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railways and the Traders: A Sketch of the Railway Rates Question in Theory and Practice "Of the many ways in which common-sense inferences about social affairs" - so writes Mr. Herbert Spencer in his most recent essay - "are flatly contradicted by events, one of the most curious is the way in which, the more things improve, the louder become the exclamations about their badness." Of this tendency of human nature Mr. Spencer gives not a few striking examples. He might, however have found another at least equally striking in the attitude of the English public to the Railway Companies. A generation back the companies did pretty much what was right in their own eyes, and let their will avouch the deed. Speaking even of a time as recent as twenty years back, the most competent of American observers - Professor Hadley - expresses his unbounded astonishment at the "impudence" with which they "openly defied a regularly constituted public authority."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal Regulation of Railway Rates This series of books owes its existence to the generosity of messrs. Hart, Schaffner, and Marx of Chicago, who have shown a special interest in trying to draw the attention of American youth to the study of economic and commercial subjects, and to encourage the best thinking of the country to investigate the problems which vitally affect the business world of to-day. For this purpose they have delegated to the undersigned Committee the task of selecting topics, making all announcements, and awarding prizes annually for those who wish to compete. In the year ending June 1, 1906, the following topics were assigned: 1. To what extent, and by what administrative body, should the public attempt to control railway rates in interstate commerce? 2. A just and practicable method of taxing railway property. 3. Will the present policy of the labor unions in dealing with non-union men, and the "closed shop," further the interests of the workingmen? 4. Should ship subsidies be offered by the government of the United States? 5. An examination into the economic causes of large fortunes in this country. 6. The influence of credit on the level of prices. 7. The cattle industry in its relation to the ranchman, feeder, packer, railway, and consumer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Problems: Edited With an Introduction This collection of reprints, like its predecessor, Trusts, Pools, and Corporations, is directed to the accomplishment of two purposes: not alone to render more easily accessible to the interested public, valuable technical material upon a question of paramount interest and importance at the present time, but also to facilitate the work of the college instructor in the economics of transportation. The worst evil of modern academic life, particularly under the elective system, is that the student may so seldom be called upon to think for himself; - not merely to "cram" and memorize, to absorb information predigested by an instructor, but rather to actively use his reasoning powers in effecting recombinations of ideas. Mere passive contact for a brief period of life with cultivating influences and high ideals, as exemplified in books, general environment, and, it is to be hoped, instructors of the right sort, tends to produce the dilettante, unless at the same time the mind is constantly invigorated by action. This is especially true of the economic and social sciences. To provide material, preferably of a debatable sort, which may be worked over under discussion in the class room, instead of being merely committed to memory, constitutes the pedagogical aim of this book. Some of the extracts, especially the historical ones, are of course not susceptible of such treatment. They are merely reference readings for convenient use. But the others, notably the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission, usually provide debatable matter of an admirable sort. This is peculiarly true of cases or decisions with a dissenting minority opinion. Another advantages which many of these economic cases possess, over proposition in mathematics, logic, or even laws, as material for training the intelligence, is that they are always charged with human, and often with great public, interest and that they incidentally involve an acquaintance with the underlying business condition and trade of the country at large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Rates and Traffic: Translated From the Third (1907) Edition of C. Colson's "Transport Et Tarifs" IN presenting this abridged translation Of M. Colson's famous work, Transports et Tarifs, the writer Of this note would record the thanks Of the translators, firstly, to Mr. W. M. Acworth - who has very kindly written the Introduction - for inspiring the translation, and, secondly, to the London School of Economics for co-operation in giving effect to this inspiration. For it was entirely due to Mr. Acworth's kindly remarks on the series of five articles (included in Part which appeared in the Railway Gazette in the early part of last year, and his Observations that the trans lation might serve a useful purpose in book form, that the writer and his colleagues were led favourably to consider the translation Of further sections Of M. Colson's valuable work. The primary intention was merely to deal with the sections of general interest (parts I. And but on the suggestion Of the London School of Economics that a short sketch Of the practice in various countries would be of utility, other fragments relevant have been incorporated in the work (parts II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political Aspects of the Railroad Rate Question: An Introduction to the Study of the Subject, October 9, 1905 Next the Commission assumed that it was by implication of law invested with the power to prescribe rates for the future, but in this it was overruled by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Maximum Rate Case decided in 1897 - 167 U. S., 479. Ever since the Commission has strenuously sought to secure the desired power through legislative action. The general views which the Commission has announced in regard to the nature of its function may properly be characterized as of the Populistic sort, all tending toward the bureaucratic or autocratic exercise of governmental power. In the following statement, which is in the nature of an introduction to the study of the political aspects of the question under consideration, I shall confine attention, first, to the nature of the proposition in favor of governmental rate-making, and, second, to the-inevitable political results of the adoption of such a policy as clearly indicated by the unmistakable lessons of history.

Download or read book The English Railway and Canal Commission of 1888 Classic Reprint written by Simon James McLean and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Railway and Canal Commission of 1888 The power to order through rates, on application, which had been placed in the Act of 1873 as an extension of the facilities clause of the Act of 1854, had authorized the Commission to act only When application was made by a railway or by a canal company. The Act of 1888 ex tended this jurisdiction by empowering' the Commission to receive an application from a trader as well. In every possible way the fact was emphasized that the Commission was a court, and therefore no concerned with rate-making. The control of matters pertaining to rates was divided. Powers in regard to conciliation of rate difficulties were given to the Board of Trade. When the provision placing the revision of maxima and of classi fication in the hands of the Board of Trade was under consideration, an amendment to place such revision in the hands of the Commission was negatived.
