Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Control by Commissions Massachusetts has been that of the best means of control under the best circumstances. One could scarcely understand the commission system of the United States from the experience of the several State commissions and the Interstate Commerce Commission. Apart from the fact that many of the ideas which the pioneer state in railway regulation gave to the country were borrowed in turn from England and Continental Europe, a just appreciation of the importance of the circumstances and the surroundings in which the means of regu lation operates is impossible without a knowledge of the various solutions of railroad questions under different political conditions. Comparison and contrast of motives and actions is the only effect ive way of learning. Oi inconsistencies of con trol the history of railway regulation in Europe is full.

Download or read book The English Railway and Canal Commission of 1888 Classic Reprint written by Simon James McLean and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Railway and Canal Commission of 1888 The power to order through rates, on application, which had been placed in the Act of 1873 as an extension of the facilities clause of the Act of 1854, had authorized the Commission to act only When application was made by a railway or by a canal company. The Act of 1888 ex tended this jurisdiction by empowering' the Commission to receive an application from a trader as well. In every possible way the fact was emphasized that the Commission was a court, and therefore no concerned with rate-making. The control of matters pertaining to rates was divided. Powers in regard to conciliation of rate difficulties were given to the Board of Trade. When the provision placing the revision of maxima and of classi fication in the hands of the Board of Trade was under consideration, an amendment to place such revision in the hands of the Commission was negatived.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prentice-Hall Tax Service for 1919 This allowance is not based upon the difference between the actual war cost of such facilities and what they would have cost at pre-war prices. Obviously the taxpayer is not entitled to recover or extinguish through amortization more than the difference between the war cost of such property and what he can sell the property for after the war, or if he continues to need and use it in his business, what it would have cost him after the war. As the rule is expressed in Article 183 of the Regulations: The total amount to be extinguished by amortization, in general, is the excess of the unextinguished or unrecovered cost of the property over its maximum value (either for sale or for use as part of the plant or equipment of a going business) under stable post war.

Download or read book Government Regulation of Railways written by William Franklin Herrin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Regulation of Railways: An Address It might be expected, especially as I am addressing a body of lawyers, that in dealing with my subject I would consider some of the interesting legal questions which have arisen in connection with the public regulation of railways, but the greater importance of the economic and financial issues involved have induced me to discuss them rather than the more purely legal aspects of the question. If, in railway regulation, our aim is to subserve and advance the public welfare, we are aided but little by a too exclusive reliance upon mere legal learning. Our true enlightenment must come from a study of the economic and financial conditions involved. We can thus more clearly discern the public interests affected and more readily understand that these interests are not really antagonistic to those of the railways. On the contrary, these interests are interdependent, and an injury to one works to the disadvantage of the other. In adopting this line of discussion, I assume that the public interest is of first importance and my purpose is to consider how that interest can best be promoted. I am not here to make a special plea for railway interests, but shall attempt, from an independent and impartial standpoint, to arrive at the principles which should govern the proper exercise of this regulative function.

Download or read book The Nationalisation of Railways Classic Reprint written by George James Wardle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nationalisation of Railways No country has ever been able to adopt entirely the principle of laisser faire 1n regard to railways. In all countries control of some kind exists, ranging from a Commission with no compelling force behind it except public opinion (as in' America, to that'of absolute ownership. In the United Kingdom we have so far steered a middle course. The genius for compromise, so characteristically British, has produced our present hybrid system - a system which is neither logical nor effective. So gingerly have we treated the problems involved - the transport of goods, the carriage of passengers, and the employment of an army of workpeople - that it is safe to say that never was there more profound dissatisfaction amongst shareholders, traders, travellers, and workers than exists at the present time. Magazines and newspapers have given vent to the dissatisfaction of shareholders, traders, and travellers threats of strike and disruption have been the mode of expressionof the workers. This general dissatisfaction is well grounded. The burden of capital grows ever greater, dividends are declining, the legitimate demands of traders are ignored, and the railway worker finds himself unable to keep pace with the progress of other workmen in the improvement Of his conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Third Annual Report on the Statistics of Railways in the United States to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the Year Ending June 30, 1890 It is not wise to draw conclusions without adequate study, but the thought suggested by the above summary is that uniform rules for the control of railways, should those rules proceed beyond general princi pies of universal application, would be of doubtful utility, and it further suggests the necessity of statistical investigation into the economy of railway management and the conditions of railway competition, more comprehensive and more minute than any that has yet been undertaken.
