Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About the Railroads Upon the one hand there is a critical public. Upon the other, the railroads are struggling with forces which are causing rates to remain stationary or to decline, causing wages to rise or to remain stationary, bringing demands from a prosperous and luxurious people for increasingly expensive facilities and service, and causing taxation to rise at an alarming rate. These four forces are all at work reducing the margin between income and outgo and making it more and more difficult for the owners of railroad properties to keep their lines in suit able condition to carry on the business of the country, and to obtain a return commensurate with the risk of the business and sufficient to attract further investment.

Many insist that the different objects of the three inter ests are so conflicting that any reconcilia tion is impossible. Rather, these interests are so bound together that one cannot long prosper except as the others prosper like wise. To prove certain statements the writer has used tables, together with comments thereon, prepared by Mr. Slason Thompson, to whom credit is hereby given.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Facts About Treating Railroad Ties The purpose of this book is to furnish some information as to some methods employed in this country for treating railroad cross ties, and to suggest some improvements. It has been my aim to state the facts correctly, without fear or favor, and trust that this work will prove of some value to those interested in wood preservation, and throw some light on this subject. Timber treating is comparatively in its infancy in this country and some of the methods and practices can be materially improved. Develop ment and improvement in the art of timber treating has been retarded by promoters of bogus processes and by the suppression of information and ideas that are opposed to them. The most demoralizing and dangerous elements to meritorious wood preserving in existence today are concerns which have foisted their worthless processes for treating railroad ties on some of the railroads of this country. I cannot patiently accept the present situation or allow their unwarranted assumptions to go unchallenged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroad Valuation and Rates This book is intended primarily as a treatise on the Principles of Rates and their relation to Valuation and Rate Regulation. In view of this fact, the reader is entitled to an explanation of why the first four chapters are devoted to what at first sight seem unrelated subjects. No discussion in regard to the proper basis for rate-making can last very long without reference to Capitalization and Valuation. The discussion on capitalization finally turns on the abuses practiced in the construction and promotion of railroads. Promotion and construction are most intimately connected with capitalization - in fact, very much more so than capitalization is with rate-making. There is seemingly some confusion on the part of some authors and publicists in regard to the facts concerning and the conditions surrounding the promotion and construction of our railroads and the relation which such facts and conditions have to capitalization. Many of us have come to accept these widely published interpretation of facts for the facts themselves, generally because we do not take the time to make the investigation necessary to determine their accuracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railroad Problem On a certain estate there dwells a large family of brothers and sisters. There are many of them and there is great variety in their ages. They are indifferent to their neighbors; they deem themselves quite self-sufficient. But, for the most part they are an industrious family. They are a family of growing wealth - in fact, in every material sense they may already be called rich. And their great estate is slowly beginning to reach its full development. In this family there are several older brothers who long since attained a strength and dominance over some of the younger members of the family. It is one of these brothers about whom this book is written. It does not assume to be a story of his life. That story has been told by abler pens. It merely aims to be a brief recital of his present condition. For, truth to tell, this older brother has come upon hard times. After a long life of hard work, at a time when his service should be of greatest value to the estate, he has broken down. He has begun to fail - and in an hour when the greedy neighbors grow contentious and he may be of greatest service to his own big family.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Facts and Figures About Mexico and Her Great Railroad: The Mexican Central There are only five cities of over 35, 000 inhabitants in the Republic of Mexico that are not reached by the Mexican Central Line. Extract of a Letter from A.H. Edgren, Professor of Languages, University of Nebraska. "A visit to Mexico is, indeed, full of uncommon interest, historical, ethnical, archaeological and linguistic, to say nothing of the joys of a magnificent scenery and a lovely climate. The charm of breathing not only the air of a foreign country but also of a past age, is more fully realized in Mexico than even in Spain or Italy, and the sight of a native American race working its way to intelligent independence and a modern civilization on the ruins of their old culture is to me full of deepest interest. Unfortunately for the traveler, though not for Mexico, the mediaeval spirit still lingering over the country will have disappeared in a few more years. I noticed a very decided difference, in this regard, between Mexico of eight years ago, when I first visited the country, and Mexico last year."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor and the Railroads In this country, to a greater extent, perhaps, than in any other, public Opinion should be termed popular Opinion, consequently it is very human and natural in its characteristics. Today it is radical, to-morrow conservative, but at all times it has its ear to the ground to catch lessons from history. While at times it may appear to be longsuffering and indifferent, it is, nevertheless, very slow to forgive an injury. This is the teaching of instinct, which is as noticeable in the behavior of a nation as in that of an individual. Just at present, for ex ample, popular Opinion cannot make up its mind to deal reasonably with corporations and managers. It has now to be educated to treat these people fairly. But the corporations cannot expect the public to arrive at the unassisted conclusion that their business, generally speaking, is now above board and legitimate. It thus becomes their duty to advertise and demonstrate these facts. Recon ciliation is certain to follow frankness and pub licity.
