Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Railroads, and War Taxation Paternalistic control, even when entirely benevolent in intent, is generally harmful in effect. It is apt to be doubly so when, as sometimes occurs, it is punitive in intent. The history of our railroads in the last ten years is a case in point. In their early youth our railroads were allowed to grow up like spoiled, wilful, untamed children. They were given pretty nearly everything they asked for, and what they were not given freely they were apt to get somehow, anyhow. They fought amongst themselves and in doing so were liable to do harm to persons and objects in the neighborhood. They were overbearing and inconsiderate and did not show proper respect to their parent, i.e., the people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Railways In an earlier book entitled The American Transporta tion Question, the author has discussed the railway prob lem of the United States as it presents itself if it be assumed that the policy of private ownership of railways is to be maintained. The present work has two purposes. One is to give information as to the comparative results of private and public ownership and management of rail ways in various leading and typical countries. Its other, and main, purpose is to try to direct serious consideration to the question of what in view of the experience of other countries with state ownership and management, and of the conditions existing in the United States would probably be the results of the adoption of government own ership and management of railways in this country.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Railways: Considered as the Next Great Step in American Progress I want to convince you of the truth of four significant contentions which I make. First: that government ownership is all but an accomplished fact in the world at the pre sent time. Second: that all the governments which have tried the system of nationalization of railways were never so active as now in the matter of bringing about complete govern ment ownership by extending the present system by purchase and construction. Third: that the sentiment in favor of government ownership among the people of this country, and of the world for that matter, is more general and deeply seated than it is commonly understood to be. And fourth: when govern ment ownership comes in this country it is likely to appear very suddenly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carrier Crisis: Plain Spoken Treatment of the Government Ownership of Railroads Issue, the Canal a Commercial Liberator The carrier issue is the biggest question the Ameri can people have to deal with. It is a question of such broadening scope that security points to the earliest possible settlement of the matter consistent with prudent national conduct. The proposal that the nation shall buy immunity from its Oppressors, or that we shall, as a people, do any thing akin to compromise with outlaw combines of predatory wealth, I hold to be nu-american. If we have lost control of public affairs, and have, as a people, surrendered the mastery of public conduct that an honest, intelligent and independent people by right own and enjoy, then may we play the weakling and talk of compromise. Believing, however, that a goodly majority of the voters of America have sense enough to know what isgood for themselves, honesty enough to be trusted alone with the ballot, and courage enough to spurn intimidation, I am convinced that the truth of the matter at issue, broadly diffused, constitutes the solvent remedy.

Download or read book Government Ownership of Public Utilities in the United States Classic Reprint written by Leon Cammen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Public Utilities in the United States The purpose in writing the present book has been to analyze the factors involved in the question of Government ownership of public utilities. The writer tried to convey his conviction that the question of Government ownership of public utilities and especially railroads in the United States is essentially one not of railroad management and operation itself, but of general economics and politics. To his mind, Government ownership of public utilities means absolute Government control not only of the industries but also of the politics in the various States and in the Union generally. It means practically, if not formally, abolition of our democratic institutions and of the very spirit of democracy, and substitutes for the rule of the people, for the people, and by the people, an autocracy of the central government. It means abolition of the present division of the country into forty-eight sovereign and independent States, and reduction of the States to simple electral districts, as well as loss by the States of their rights to tax railroad properties Within their boundaries as an exercise of their right of sovereignty.
