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.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Drift Toward Government Ownership of Railways There is an unmistakable drift toward government ownership of rail ways in the United States. This ten deney is probably most apparent to those closely identified with railway affairs; but it is also evident to many who are interested in the railway busi ness chiefly, or only, as observers and students of economic, industrial, and political problems. In the first place, there has been for some years a rather unsteady but cer tain increase in the number of socialists in the country; and those who thus fa vor public ownership and management of all of the means of both production and distribution must be counted in with those others who favor public acquisition of the principal means of distribution. There has also been an increase in the number of those who advocate public ownership of all public utilities, of which steam railways are the largest. Finally, there has been a mighty growth in the number who favor very stringent regulation of railways, and who have succeeded in getting this policy adopted. The last-named class, which is much the largest, may finally turn the scale for public ownership. For its members now expect much from regulation lower rates, better service, smaller railway dividends, complete elimination of traffic discriminations.
