Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Regulation of Railways: An Address It might be expected, especially as I am addressing a body of lawyers, that in dealing with my subject I would consider some of the interesting legal questions which have arisen in connection with the public regulation of railways, but the greater importance of the economic and financial issues involved have induced me to discuss them rather than the more purely legal aspects of the question. If, in railway regulation, our aim is to subserve and advance the public welfare, we are aided but little by a too exclusive reliance upon mere legal learning. Our true enlightenment must come from a study of the economic and financial conditions involved. We can thus more clearly discern the public interests affected and more readily understand that these interests are not really antagonistic to those of the railways. On the contrary, these interests are interdependent, and an injury to one works to the disadvantage of the other. In adopting this line of discussion, I assume that the public interest is of first importance and my purpose is to consider how that interest can best be promoted. I am not here to make a special plea for railway interests, but shall attempt, from an independent and impartial standpoint, to arrive at the principles which should govern the proper exercise of this regulative function.

Download or read book Railway Regulation written by Robert M. La Follette and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Regulation: State and Interstate To meet and wisely discharge the responsibility of regulating commerce, state and interstate, to bring railways back and hold them to their legitimate business as common carriers, is the most important work in the government of this republic for this generation of man. If the great railway corporations of the country are using their unlimited power without abusing it, if they are transporting the commerce of the country at reasonable rates, with fairness to the general public, with a just regard to the rights of individuals, and without favoritism to places and persons, then they might justly regard government control and regulation as "unnecessary and meddlesome interference." If, however, the public is suffering serious wrong, if there are far-reaching abuses in the transportation of its commerce, if the railway companies are not only carrying the commerce of the country but controlling the commerce of the country, determining where it shall be massed, where the markets shall be located, and their control; if they are discriminating in favor of the large shipper, creating and fostering industrial and commercial monopoly, then there rests upon the several state legislatures and upon congress an obligation to act, and to act at once, with all the determination and patriotism commensurate with the duty to preserve government itself. Capital and labor, wherever employed in the creation of wealth, - whether in mining, or in manufacturing, or in agriculture, - in short, material production, in every field of human activity, is absolutely dependent upon transportation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems in Railway Regulation A democracy settles but one political issue at a time. In the first flush of popular excitement, it is futile to endeavor to give a rational direction to the discussion. Statements founded upon a thorough investigation of the subject matter or upon expert knowledge are ignored. If they are from independent, impartial Observers, they usually contain some propo sitions that are unwelcome to the interests attacked or, if they favor the parties defendant, they are con temned as being either bought or biased. In fact, when one reads the newspaper accounts of such a discussion, it would almost seem that all which had been written on the subject, the result Of experience and reflection, had been written in vain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reorganization of the Railways The experience we have had with our rail way problems demonstrate very fully many of the evils that must be eliminated before we can hope to have an efficient system of trans portation adequate to the public needs. Fi nancing the carriers has not always been either honest or wise. Many errors, both of judgment and methods, have appeared in the construction and operation of the railways, and such mistakes have tended to depress their credit. Regulation by commissions and other public officials, reducing income and in creasing expenditures, together with the re strictions found in State and National legis lation, have all combined to increase the bur dens of the railways and rendered them nu able in most instances to properly perform their functions as common carriers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Regulation: An Analysis of the Underlying Problems in Railway Economics From the Standpoint of Government Regulations In the following pages an attempt is made to present an analysis of the leading problems in railway economics from the standpoint of government regulation in the United States. While it has been my purpose to vitalize the discussion by the liberal use of concrete illustrative material, the emphasis throughout has been placed upon the discovery of underlying causes and the consideration of fundamental principles. The historical development of railway transportation has been traced only in so far as early conditions and past events have been shown to throw light upon the meaning and significance of current practices and present-day problems. The various stages in the growth of the American system of public control, state and national, have been given careful and detailed consideration because the principles and methods of railway regulation, as applied in the United States today, are the result of a gradual development. Both legislative enactment and judicial decision have slowly accommodated themselves to the irresistible pressure of our changing social and political ideals and our expanding commercial and industrial needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroad Regulation In the Middle West the situation was radically diflerent. This country had been opened up rapidly to settlement after the Civil War, through the aid furnished by the construction of railroads and the passage of the Homestead Act. The result was that by the beginning of the seventies, farmers were settled in these agricultural regions, and were dependent absolutely upon the railroads for the disposal of their grain and for the bring ing in of their supplies. The roads were largely financed by eastern and foreign capital, and even to this day the amount of capital invested in railroads by the Middle West is comparatively small. It is always unfortunate for the people of one section of a country to have to pay tribute to another section, and this the inhabitants of the Mid dle West felt that they were doing for the railroad service they were getting. Mis understandings and antagonism naturally developed in the West between the railroads and the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Regulation of Railway Rates: A Study of the Experience of the United States, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, Russia and Australia This book' presents the conclusions forced upon the author by a painstaking study of the railway question extending over some twelve years. That study began with an to the results of State industrial ventures in Australasia, which he took up with a strong bias in favor of State intervention in industry. As many of the most impressive lessons to be learned from the industrial experiments of the Australasian States are connected with their management of rail ways, the author was naturally led to make com parisons with the railways of other countries, over which the various governments have exercised some measure of control. The net result has been the disclosure of such overwhelming proofs of the evils of State direction of industry, or interference with its natural course, that he has become firmly convinced of the unwisdom of government regulation of rail ways or their rates.

One could scarcely understand the commission system of the United States from the experience of the several State commissions and the Interstate Commerce Commission. Apart from the fact that many of the ideas which the pioneer state in railway regulation gave to the country were borrowed in turn from England and Continental Europe, a just appreciation of the importance of the circumstances and the surroundings in which the means of regu lation operates is impossible without a knowledge of the various solutions of railroad questions under different political conditions.
