Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railroad Rates The railroad problem, with respect to charges, has always been a problem of freight rates rather than of passenger fares. The freight traffic upon the American railroads far exceeds the passenger traffic in volume, complexity, and importance. In order to avoid confusion of statement, this book deals only with freight rates. But the fundamental principles governing rates and fares are the same.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal Regulation of Railway Rates This series of books owes its existence to the generosity of messrs. Hart, Schaffner, and Marx of Chicago, who have shown a special interest in trying to draw the attention of American youth to the study of economic and commercial subjects, and to encourage the best thinking of the country to investigate the problems which vitally affect the business world of to-day. For this purpose they have delegated to the undersigned Committee the task of selecting topics, making all announcements, and awarding prizes annually for those who wish to compete. In the year ending June 1, 1906, the following topics were assigned: 1. To what extent, and by what administrative body, should the public attempt to control railway rates in interstate commerce? 2. A just and practicable method of taxing railway property. 3. Will the present policy of the labor unions in dealing with non-union men, and the "closed shop," further the interests of the workingmen? 4. Should ship subsidies be offered by the government of the United States? 5. An examination into the economic causes of large fortunes in this country. 6. The influence of credit on the level of prices. 7. The cattle industry in its relation to the ranchman, feeder, packer, railway, and consumer.

Download or read book Railroads written by William Z. Ripley and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroads: Rates and Regulation It is this helpless and unorganized general public, always in need of an advocate, which, perhaps, most strongly appeals to the academic mind. If there be lack of judicial poise in this regard, it is, at all events, palliated by free confession in advance. Nor is the history of the assumption by public authority Of its inherent right to control railroads, as narrow an interest as it at first appears. Transportation, as a service, is the commodity produced by common carriers. The manner in which the price of this commodity has been brought under governmental regulation has a direct bearing upon another problem just beginning to open up; namely that of the con trol by the state of the prices of other things. It is not unlikely, in my judgment, that the final solution1 of the so called Trust Problem in the United States, Whether for good or ill, may ultimately contain as one important feature, the determination by governmental authority Of reasonable prices for such prime necessities of life as milk, ice, coal, sugar and Oil, when produced under monopolistic conditions. This view is shared by my colleague Professor Taussig in his Principles of Economics. It is also distinctly set forth by President Van Hise Of the University Of Wisconsin, in his recent Con centration and Control. When the seed Of such an industrial policy is planted, as I believe it possible in time, the soil will have been richly prepared for its reception by our experience in the determination of reasonable charges for the services of railroads and other public utilities.

Download or read book Railroad Rates and Transportation Overland written by John T. Doyle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroad Rates, and Transportation Overland: In a Letter to a Member of Congress The railroad agent, if driven to the wall, will, if he be a frank man, probably admit that the rule adopted in fix1ng freights is to charge all that the commodity in question can bear, and on this simple rule all their tables are constructed. The rule, however, is a false one, and leads to endless injustice. It proceeds on the theory that the railroads are purely private property, for the use of which or for passage over which they may properly and lawfully charge each man all they can get out of him. This theory itself is false. Railroads are public highways just as much as turnpihe roads are, and the whole public are entitled to transit over them on equaland im partial terms. In approaching the subject of railroad freights, therefore, the first thing necessary is to discard this false theory. The benefit to the shipper or the amount he can afford to pay has properly nothing to do with the rate of freight to be charged the true basis of the calculation is the necessary cost of the service. As this is a turning point in the controversy, I may be pardoned for dwelling on it a mo ment in the way of illustration. If it be true that the benefit to the shipper should be taken as the basis of the charge for carrying freight, it must be equally true with respect to the carriage of passengers, and must be equally applicable to all other carriers as to railroad companies. Let us see how that would work. The drayman who takes the goods to the railroad depot should adjust his charges on the same basis as the railroad company. Instead of a uniform rate per load, or per ton, or per day, he should inquire into the profit to be made on the venture he hauls. The tele graph operator who transmits a message (foi telegraph com panies are carriers too), instead of counting the words should inquire into the value of the message to the sender or re ceiver. An instruction to buy or sell a thousandgshares of stock or tons of wheat should pay ten times as much as a like direction for a' hundred, and the state of the market and the likelihood of a profit in the transaction should enhance the charge accordingly. So on railroad trains a man of wealth should pay more for his ticket than one in moderate circum stances, and the nature of the errand should be taken into account. If he anticipates a pecuniary advantage from the journey he should pay more if he travels for mere pleasure, less. If for health, perhaps, the nature and extent of his mal ady, the likelihood of a cure, and the insured value of his life might justly cut a figure in determining his fare. He should, at least, carry at all times a certified copy of his stand ing on the last assessment roll and present an affidavit of his losses and gains since it was made.
