Download or read book Railroads written by William Z. Ripley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 686 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 solution 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.

This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prices and Price Control in Great Britain and the United States During the World War The part of the work dealing with price control in the United Kingdom was finished in July, 1918; that which con siders prices and price regulation in the United States was begun in November, 1918, and concluded in June, 1919. Detailed discussions of such items as causes of the rise in prices, profiteering, industrial unrest, which are included in the treatment of price control in Great Britain, are omitted from the part considering price fixing in the United States; this was done chie y because such an inquiry, although it would have presented some additional illustrative material, would have involved too much repetition and lengthened considerably the study, without aiding either in the statement of the problems or in their elucidation. On the other hand, the consideration of the control of articles directly used for war purposes, such as iron and steel, copper, hides and leather, etc., which is omitted from the part dealing with Great Britain, is included in the investigation of price fixing in the United States.

Download or read book Minimum Price Regulation Under Codes of Fair Competition Classic Reprint written by Saul Nelson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minimum Price Regulation Under Codes of Fair Competition Provisions of this nature, although included in the majority of codes, actually became effective in a relatively small proportion of these cases because nra did not approve the price schedules or cost systems necessary to effectuate them. Nevertheless, minimum price controls were applied to codes covering a substantial and representative section of American Industry. This study is concerned with an appraisal of the extent to which these devices succeeded in solving the immediate problems at which they were directed. Although the wide social mid economic implications of any such interference with the price mechanism are of extreme importance, such considerations have been excluded as being beyond the scope of this study. Because of the limitations of time and personnel, the investigation was confined to twenty eight industries in which minimum price regulation was attempted industries selected as representative of various parts of the industrial structure, of the economic problems encountered, and of the types of minimum price devices.

Download or read book Cost of Railroad Transportation Railroad Accounts and Governmental Regulation of Railroad Tariffs Classic Reprint written by Albert Fink and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cost of Railroad Transportation, Railroad Accounts, and Governmental Regulation of Railroad Tariffs In 1865 - 66 the net freight earnings were per cent and in 1873 - 74 only per cent of the gross earnings. It would be erroneous to conclude from this that the road was operated with less economy in the past year. It will be observed that the gross earnings per ton-mile in 1865 were cents; in 1874 they were only cents. Had the gross earnings per ton-mile in 1874 been the same as in 1865, the net earnings would have been 74 per cent instead of per cent of the gross earnings. It would, however, be equally erroneous to conclude that in 1865 less economy was exercised in the operation of the road than in 1874. The differences are accounted for by other reasons. In 1865 the bulk of the freight was local, carried over short distances of the road; since that time it has become mainly-through business, which goes over the whole length of the road. The latter is transacted at less expense. Since 1865 the amount of business on the Main Stem has more than trebled. This increase causes a reduction in the operating expenses. There is a certain class of operating expenditures that do not increase with the amount of business; they are fixed expenses which have to be incurred whether a small or a large business is transacted. It follows that when only one third of the number of tons of freight were moved in 1865 as compared with 1874, the cost per ton-mile for this class of expenditures would be three times greater than in 1874.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Price Control in the Coffee Industry Differences in demand for individual brands of coffee, based on actual coffee quality, blend taste, type of container and variance on these induced by intensive advertising result in an elaborate structure of price differentials in the coffee industry, No information has been collected showing whether or not the differentials tend to fluctuate on the basis of averaging to fixed differences between grades, whether they tend to maintain fixed percentage relationships with each other or whether and in what way they change with changes in the price levels. Practically no factual information is available on which to base even moderately precise measurements of the way in which a price cut at one point in the price structure spreads through that structure. It cannot be said therefore to what extent a price cut exerts its influence on a single quality level and to what extent it tends to Spread through the whole price structure. Sound price analysis of the industry is obviously an extremely important base on which to build a regulatory system ih volving such concepts as destructive price cutting and meeting competition.
