Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relations of Railroads to the Public Question 1. Do you regard the establishment and maintenance of lower rates between ports in Europe and points in the interior of the United States than the combined ocean rate from the foreign port to New York, and the railroad rate from New York to the interior point, as in tho nature of an unjust discrimination; and, if so, what measures, in your opinion, should be adopted for preventing it? Answer. I regard the establishment and maintenance of lower rates between ports in Europe and points in the interior of the United States than the combined ocean rate from the foreign port to New York and the rail rate from New York to the interior points as an unjust discrimination, for the reason that the two methods of transportation are entirely separate and distinct from each other, bulk having to be broken and the goods handled at the end of the ocean voyage in any event. There can be no more economy of transport by making a through rate in Liverpool to Chicago, via New York or any other port, than there is in making the ocean rate separately and allowing the railroad lines to make the rate from the seaboard to Chicago. This, of course, is under the supposition that in both cases the goods are transferred from the ship to the car in the same manner, whether on a through bill of lading or not. In 1877, from January until September, through freights from Liverpool to the West on fourtli-class goods were carried at 12 shillings and sixpence net per ton, equal to 13$ cents per hundred pounds, to Chicago, and 14 to 15 shillings net, or 15$ to 16$ cents per hundred pounds, to Saint Louis; while at the same time ocean freight rates to New York alone from Liverpool were 12 shillings and sixpence and 10 per cent, primage for the same goods per ton; or, in other words, New York merchants were charged 10 per cent, more for the carriage of the same goods from Liverpool to New York than Chicago merchants were charged for taking the same goods (through New York) 1,000 miles further; the effect of this being to forcibly and abruptly take from the merchants of New York trade which naturally belonged to them and give it to the merchants of Chicago. I do not think that any common carrier has the right to thus abrogate or be a party to abrogating the natural advantages which a community may enjoy. Such practices unquestionably make investments uncertain, discourage legitimate business enterprise, and should be prohibited by law. Discrimination of this kind is a protection of foreign manufactures against home manufactures; for instance, the hardware manufacturers of Birmingham and cotton manufacturers of Manchester can lay down their products in our Western markets cheaper than the manufacturers of the Eastern States can. The former owe no allegiance to our government, pay no taxes, and are commercial "carpet-baggers"; the latter are American citizens, and are entitled to fair treatment. Tile above is an example of the constantly-recurring anomalies in commerce at the present time, resulting from the control of steam-power by large organizations of capital, and which must be regulated in the interest of the public unless we would build up class distinctions and perpetuate a moneyed aristocracy.

It seems to me probable that, in case uniform rates to all shippers under similar circumstances were once prescribed by law, carriers would naturally and easily fall into line and comply with the law. If, however, experience should prove that there were many ways of avoiding the law, legislative ingenuity ought to be able to meet these evasions, the same as it has in our internal-revenue laws and many other la-s by which society is regulated.

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.
