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.

This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History and Description of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad In presenting to the public this brief historical sketch and compendium of facts relating to the diversified career of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company, - from the period of its first organization in 1827, to its completion in 1853, - the author has been influenced solely by a desire to place on record a comprehensive narrative of events, redounding to the honor of the State of Maryland and the City of Baltimore, and reflecting immortal credit upon the intelligence, perseverance, and unflagging energy of those alike who originated, perfected, and have carried to a successful issue this great national enterprise. Maryland has the honor of having been the first State in the Union to incorporate a Company for the construction of a Rail Road, - she was also the first to devote the public resources to the support of the system, - "a system that has given to the people of the United States, an identity of feeling, a harmony of interests, and a facility of social intercourse which has bound them together as one great family." Maryland may now also boast of having completed one of the longest and most magnificent Rail Roads in the world, and although more limited in her territory than many of her sister States, she has thus secured the most direct channel through which the interchange of commodities and travel, between the Eastern and the Western States, will be mainly carried on, and which will elevate her chief City still higher in wealth, commercial activity, and national importance.

This book was released on 2018-05-28 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Combination, Not Competition of Railroads It may be remarked at the outset that the idea that the earnings of the strong lines must be kept down at all events, is far from com forting to people who have invested their money in the railroad business, and most discouraging to those who are invited to invest new money in it. In one of the recent Treasury Decisions, Honorable David A. Gates had occasion to remark that unless a public utility like a rail road company earned eight per cent. Upon its investment, its stock could not be kept at par - a conclusion which was reached from an examination of many income tax schedules. In an investigation made in connection with the Fifteen Per Cent. Rate Case, the Illinois Central Railroad Company discovered that in the unusually pros perons year ending June 30, 1916, it had in fact received a return on its investment in road and equipment of only The opin ion oi the Interstate Commerce Commission in this case shows that, taking the railroads of the country as a whole, the return for this same most prosperous year for the carriers in the Eastern Dis trict was Southern District and the Western District The net operating income for 1916 is the largest which the railroads have ever had, and was more than but it was less than 6% upon the Value of the railroad property devoted to_2.

Download or read book The Government and the Railroads (Classic Reprint) written by Otto H. Kahn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Strategy of Great Railroads Busied with its transportation concerns, the house saw the earliest alignment of those political movements in the United States that resulted in the most stupendous civil con ict Of modern times. They stuck to their ferryboats and their junk rails when Beecher was the pulpit and Greeley and Bennett and Raymond were the press Of this country. While still active in their busi ness they have seen the rise of every existing political party, and they may easily survive the Obsequies of the last Of them as they stand to-day. In the stage-coach and the canal mule they met and overcame the threatening competition Of fifty years ago; and their forces would face to-morrow with equal steadiness a billion-dollar invasion of their railroad territory. They alone, in all the railroad World Of to-day, go back, owners and managers in unbroken succession, Of the tele phone, the cable, and the telegraph. Nor in all that time have they ever wrecked a railroad or maintained a poor one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
