Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railways and the People This book is intended, primarily, as a discussion of the railroad problem, but there are other auxiliary questions which, in a measure, are dependent upon a proper solution of the transportation problem for their settlement. This is especially true of the farmers and producers difficulties in finding a market for their output. The consumers are interested in any solution of the transportation question which brings to them adequate supplies at prices within their purchasing power. Labor regains a feeling of ease and contentment when it realizes that the wage has been doubled by laying down the family needs and comforts at half former prices. These are some of the big problems that are affected by railroad legislation. This treatise is along entirely new lines of thought and present the whole subject in a new light. It is not expected that every reader will agree with the author in his conclusions, but it is confidently expected that every reader will get some ideas on the policies discussed which will enable him to form a more intelligent, opinion when called upon to pass judgment on the transportation question.

Download or read book The Railways the Trusts and the People Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Frank Parsons and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railways, the Trusts, and the People, Vol. 1 In respect to Dr. Taylor, any expression of acknowledgment from the author in ordinary terms must fall far short of the mark, for the book owes its existence to the Doctor's initiative. He proposed it and he made its execution possible. The foreign investigation was also his suggestion and he bore the larger portion of the expense involved in it and also a part of the cost of the special investigations made in this country. From start to finish he has taken the keenest interest in the work, and tho he has sent some vigorous English to Boston regarding the length of time the work has taken and the space it occupies, the author deems it only fair to say, that in view of the great temptation pressing on a writer to tell all the strong facts he has at command and the ease with which almost every one of the chapters in this book could be expanded into a volume, the reader must thank the Doctor that he will not have to spend the rest of his life to find out the relations be tween the railways and the people. The book is in two parts. The first consists of twenty chapters full of vital facts from the railway history of the United States, showing the dangers and abuses that have developed, and have created the railroad problem of our day.

This was the most pervading and pernicious abuse that ever devel oped in the railway business in this country, and the public was justified in adopting measures for its suppression. But the pub lic has been unfair in that it has habitually refused to give due weight to the fact that no rebate was ever given which was not received by some one; and that the recipients were just as guilty as the givers; or to the further fact that the railways tried repeatedly to stop rebating, and did more than any one else to get passed the Elkins Act of 1903, which did more to suppress that evil practice than any other piece of legislation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People's Freight Railway Co It is founded upon the further theory that any new railroad between the West and the East, under private corporate control, will furnish no material element in solving the problem of cheap transportation, unless it be provided with some certain protection against the' con trol and influence of such great railroad corporations as the Pennsylvania and the New York Central. And upon the further theory, that a new railroad be tween the East and the West can be made to carry freight as cheaply, if not more cheaply, than can be done by water transportation, if it be honestly constructed, for the ready cash, in the most judiciously economical manner, of the three feet gauge, with double tracks and low grades; provided the railroad company owns the road-bed and tracks, and individuals and firms who wish to become common carriers own and operate the trains, paying the railroad company prescribed tolls, the trains being moved at a uniform speed of, say ten miles per hour, and there being full business for the capacity of the road thus managed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People and the Railways: A Popular Discussion of the Railway Problem in the United States, by Way of Answer to the Railways and the by James F. Hudson, and With an Examination of the Interstate Commerce Law The'animosity towards the Railway Interest, shown in a volume, the railways and the republic, by Mr. James F. Hudson, has been so largely prevalent among our people; so many honest and worthy persons have conscientiously shared. In it, that it has seemed to me that a conscientious attempt to allay it would not be looked upon either as surplusage or as mere assumption. If I have, therefore, in the following pages, personified this ani mosity as Mr. Hudson, it has been purely for my own conven icnce, not in the least because I think his book either import ant or dangerous on the whole. In rejoining to Mr. Hudson's book, not the least of the labor has been the reduction of his ram bling and riotous charges, statements and conclusions to some sort of classification as to their subject-matter, and so to avoid the ne cessity of an equally ponderous volume of six hundred pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Ownership of Railways The Railways are Public Highways and as such, be ing necessary to transportation as a means of exchange, they should be owned and operated lay Society in the interest of Society. Highways are not private but public institutions, and when government lets out the construction of its highways, giving to corporate bodies the privilege of taxing those who use them, there is always retained a superintending power, a right to regulate the charges imposed upon the public. That the government has a right to prescribe rates has been so well established by judicial decisions that it is no longer a question for discussion. It is the duty of the State to provide inter-communication, and the chartering of a railroad by a private company is for the purpose of performing said duty for the State. Says Chief Justice Black A railway is a public highway for the public benefit, and the right of the corporation to exact a uniform, reasonable, stipulated tell from those who pass over it, does not make its main use a private one. The public have an interest in such a road when it belongs to a corporation as clearly as they would 1f it were free, or if the tolls were payable to the State.
