Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroads and Government: Their Relations in the United States 1910-1921 With the creation of the Interstate Commerce Com mission, in 1887, the relationship of the federal govern ment to the railroads assumed an importance for the public that it had never before possessed. For the first time a body endowed with executive and judicial func tions - what was to be known as an administrative body was to take a position as an arbiter between the public and our national transportation system. The plan had been tried for a. Decade or two in some of the states. It: was now to be given a wider opportunity and a more critical test.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroads and the Citizen: Their Relation This is the comparative measurement in a rough way, of the sum distributed annually by the railroads among holders of their securities; - the sum which goes out into the general circulation of the country through the medium of more than 61 per cent of our citizenship, and when it is remembered that the securities upon which this sum is paid out into the channels of circulation represent more than thirty-one per ecnt of the asset of life insur ance companies, and almost ten per cent of the total deposits in all banks throughout the land, the economic value and social effect of railroad earnings, in so far as the public is most directly con cerned, becomes more clearly, yet not fully apparent;-not fully because there are not included within the more than sixty-one per cent of interested persons heretofore referred to, the holders of fire and accident insurance whose issuing companies have be come important holders also, of such securities. The exact ex tent to which their asset is so invested I do not know, but there is before me sufficient data from Harraman's American Invest ments to pretty clearly indicate that contraction of railroad earnings, would affect, if not jeopardize, a part at least of the asset back of much insurance of that character. Beyond these features of the public direct interest in the mat ter, the employment of labor to produce those things essential to the operation of railroads is a factor of great proportions also. Oi the two billion and seven hundred million dollars of ninety-six per cent of the railroads which were defi nitely analyzed last year or per cent, was paid out for coal alone, to be burned at shops, power stations, stations and in locomotives in the process of operating the roads, for the production of which not less than sixty per cent of the purchase price paid by the roads, or went to the labor eu gaged at the time in producing itg - and it is here in order to say that this estimate of wage proportions is low, being made so by the writer for purpose of conservatism, and that in the district with which I am most familiar the miner receives sixty-seven and six-sevenths (676-7) cents for digging from its bed of deposit one ton of the coal used by railroads, (i. E., run of mine coal), after which it passes through numerous other hands in going from the miner's pick to the railroad cars or locomotives, each of whom receive a daily wage of from down to by whichit is found that in reality about eighty per cent of the cost to ra1lroads of their fuel coal goes to the labor engaged in producing and making it ready for the road's consumption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government and the Railroads The system as it has evolved itself in America, though it is resented by some of the Bourbons as far too advanced and as an indefensible interference with the rights of property, and by some of the Ultra-Radicals as not going far enough, seems to me in theory an almost ideal one. But the best of theories is futile if its practical application is at fault; and I know of few more flagrant instances of the unwise and unsound application of a wise and sound theory than in the case of our railroad legislation. Indeed, the structure of federal and state laws under which American railroads are compelled to carry on their business at present is little short of a legislative monstrosity. Writing on the subject of control and regulation of corporations, Colonel Roosevelt in a recently published article expresses himself as follows: ...When we control business in the public interest we are also bound to encourage it in the public interest, or it will be a bad thing for everybody and worst of all for those on whose behalf the control is nominally exercised... This object cannot be accomplished by a chaos of forty-eight states working at cross-purposes in the development of our interstate and international industrial fabric... So much of the regulation attempted in our country in the past has been done by demagogues or by heedless politicians interested only in their own momentary political success that the very name Regulation has become an offense and an abomination to many honest business men.
