Book Description
Excerpt from Railway Regulation: State and Interstate To meet and wisely discharge the responsibility of regulating commerce, state and interstate, to bring railways back and hold them to their legitimate business as common carriers, is the most important work in the government of this republic for this generation of man. If the great railway corporations of the country are using their unlimited power without abusing it, if they are transporting the commerce of the country at reasonable rates, with fairness to the general public, with a just regard to the rights of individuals, and without favoritism to places and persons, then they might justly regard government control and regulation as "unnecessary and meddlesome interference." If, however, the public is suffering serious wrong, if there are far-reaching abuses in the transportation of its commerce, if the railway companies are not only carrying the commerce of the country but controlling the commerce of the country, determining where it shall be massed, where the markets shall be located, and their control; if they are discriminating in favor of the large shipper, creating and fostering industrial and commercial monopoly, then there rests upon the several state legislatures and upon congress an obligation to act, and to act at once, with all the determination and patriotism commensurate with the duty to preserve government itself. Capital and labor, wherever employed in the creation of wealth, - whether in mining, or in manufacturing, or in agriculture, - in short, material production, in every field of human activity, is absolutely dependent upon transportation.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Government and the Railroads With the enactment of the Hepburn Bill, during President Roosevelt's second administration, began the modern era of railroad regulation and rate control by commissions. It was a measure of radical inno vation and far - reaching importance, and it ought to have been given a fair test in practical operation for a sufficient length of time. Instead, President Taft, in 1909, felt called upon to propose a new and drastic measure of railroad legislation. He embodied his recommendations on the subject in a bill which was duly introduced in Congress. It was far from being a perfect piece of legislation. The odor of politics was not absent from it. It was considered by the railroads, and in business circles generally, as um called for, unwise, and as unduly burdensome and restrictive in various important respects. But at least it was a consistent and carefully matured meas ure. It was the formal and official expression of the views of the Taft Administration, the second import ant measure put forward by it. It offered the first real test of the capacity for leadership and fighting edge of the President and his Cabinet, and they failed in it lamentably.
