Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Few Reasons in Favor of the Restoration of the Original Policy of the General Government, in Relation to Railroads A few thoughts upon the justice and policy of returning to the policy stablished by the United States Government, in relation to railroads, luring the last year of General Jackson' 8 first term of service, may not it this time be thought inopportune. The Presidential election has been held, and its agitations, so unfriend y to a calm survey of a subject like this, will not be revived for some rears at any rate not during the present. Neither the owners of railroads, nor the owners of rail mills, during be present lull in the political atmosphere, can now combine, with Presi lential candidates, to procure a sinister result by sinister political means. K fair examination can now, if ever, be had. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Often Overlooked Points Regarding Government Ownership of Railways: Address Delivered by Mr. Samuel O. Dunn, Editor of the Railway Age Gazette Before the Traffic Club of New England At intervals for a long time different men whose Views are of great weight have said that unless certain things were done, or others ceased to be done, in the United States government acquisition and operation of the rail ways would result. William J. Bryan, on returning in 1906 from a trip around the world, made a famous speech at Madison Square Garden, New York City, in which he announced himself in favor of government ownership of railroads. He believed that railroads partake so much of the nature of a monopoly that they must ultimately become public property and be managed by public officials in the interest of the whole community. Mr. Bryan's views were unanimously criticized and denounced by the Republican press; they met dissent and condemnation from most of the Democratic press; and it soon was evi dent that the press reflected public Opinion. Mr. Bryan himself was so convinced of this that when in 1908 he was nominated by the Democrats for president he said that he did not consider government ownership an issue in the impending campaign. But his opponents used his pronouncement against him; he was beaten; and doubt less it helped in his defeat.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relation of the Federal Government to the Railroads: Or a Review of the Controversy Between the Post Office Department of the United States and the Railways in the Respect to the So-Called Postal Car Service The Department sends orders on all the post offices within a certain distance of our line to collect as part of our pay. A great many 1ailroad companies communicate with such postmasters as are convenient and let the rest go, send back the orders as nothing collected. I had charge of that particular business on the N. Y. Central. I made it a rule to reach every postmaster on which an order came to us. Some of them were five, six, and even as much as ten miles from the line of our road, and had to be reached either by sending a messenger expressly, or writing to the postmaster asking what money he had, telling him Of the order we had to collect, and upon yhis informing us, sending him the receipt signed, and asking him to remit; and we have had to pay postage on all letters sent on this business. These things, and others of the same kind, in the aggregate, enter into and add largely to the cost of doing this service.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Congressional Grants of Land in Aid of Railways The subject of land grants in aid of railways, as well as of many other features of our public land policy, has been practi cally neglected by historians. I found, therefore, that my work had to be done from the ground up and that an investigation had to be made of many collateral aspects of land legislation. Some aid has been rendered by various railroad histories and 9 articles on the public lands, but in general only the original ff sources have been used.

This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Argument Against the Construction of Elevated Railroads in This City: February 1884 As to corporate rights, the companies claim that their charters are ample. This is directly disputed by their opponents, because, as these latter state, the charter mainly relied on is for a company located at Meadville, Crawford county, nearly four hundred miles from Philadelphia; that that charter contemplates a surface road and that there is no exist ing law for an elevated railroad. This brings Councils once more face to face with the serious question as to whether they can safely make a grant to companies with such disputable charters. This is in addition to the other serious question of how damages are to be paid - which damages, in this aspect of the case, may come back upon the City, through any im provident action of City Councils.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Extending Period of Government Control of Railroads: Printed for Use of Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House of Representatives During the war period, essential war necessities had to be met regardless of cost. In peace time, naturally, one of the chief aims of railroad operation should be the saving of money. But even though expense could not be made the first consideration during the war, strict attention was given to this point and orders were issued to effect savings wherever possible without interfering with the war program. Many of the economies brought about, such as rerouting, common use of terminals, etc., will be re ected but! Slightly in the operating income accounts of the carriers for the year 1918.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railways, Their Relations to the Government: Address of Samuel Spencer Before the Traffic Club of Pittsburg, April 7, 1905 One of the chief purposes, and what should be one of the chief results of the Elkins Law of 1903, is expedition in all court proceedings instituted by or on behalf of the Commission against the carriers, and yet the significant fact stands out that there has been no indictment, no prosecution of a single indi vidual or of a single corporation under the terms of that Act now in force for more than two years. If the passage of that law, with its drastic remedies, and its almost summary methods of procedure, does not expedite the trial of offenders against the Interstate Commerce Law, what can be the effect of any additional legislation for similar ends?
