Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Railways In an earlier book entitled The American Transporta tion Question, the author has discussed the railway prob lem of the United States as it presents itself if it be assumed that the policy of private ownership of railways is to be maintained. The present work has two purposes. One is to give information as to the comparative results of private and public ownership and management of rail ways in various leading and typical countries. Its other, and main, purpose is to try to direct serious consideration to the question of what in view of the experience of other countries with state ownership and management, and of the conditions existing in the United States would probably be the results of the adoption of government own ership and management of railways in this country.

This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Drift Toward Government Ownership of Railways There is an unmistakable drift toward government ownership of rail ways in the United States. This ten deney is probably most apparent to those closely identified with railway affairs; but it is also evident to many who are interested in the railway busi ness chiefly, or only, as observers and students of economic, industrial, and political problems. In the first place, there has been for some years a rather unsteady but cer tain increase in the number of socialists in the country; and those who thus fa vor public ownership and management of all of the means of both production and distribution must be counted in with those others who favor public acquisition of the principal means of distribution. There has also been an increase in the number of those who advocate public ownership of all public utilities, of which steam railways are the largest. Finally, there has been a mighty growth in the number who favor very stringent regulation of railways, and who have succeeded in getting this policy adopted. The last-named class, which is much the largest, may finally turn the scale for public ownership. For its members now expect much from regulation lower rates, better service, smaller railway dividends, complete elimination of traffic discriminations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Railways: Considered as the Next Great Step in American Progress I want to convince you of the truth of four significant contentions which I make. First: that government ownership is all but an accomplished fact in the world at the pre sent time. Second: that all the governments which have tried the system of nationalization of railways were never so active as now in the matter of bringing about complete govern ment ownership by extending the present system by purchase and construction. Third: that the sentiment in favor of government ownership among the people of this country, and of the world for that matter, is more general and deeply seated than it is commonly understood to be. And fourth: when govern ment ownership comes in this country it is likely to appear very suddenly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Railroads, and War Taxation Paternalistic control, even when entirely benevolent in intent, is generally harmful in effect. It is apt to be doubly so when, as sometimes occurs, it is punitive in intent. The history of our railroads in the last ten years is a case in point. In their early youth our railroads were allowed to grow up like spoiled, wilful, untamed children. They were given pretty nearly everything they asked for, and what they were not given freely they were apt to get somehow, anyhow. They fought amongst themselves and in doing so were liable to do harm to persons and objects in the neighborhood. They were overbearing and inconsiderate and did not show proper respect to their parent, i.e., the people.

So if the Farmers' Alliance were in possession of every branch of Govern ment in States and Nation, it would be helpless to regulate or con trol railways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Federal Railroad Board My underlying motive in writing these letters has been to avert government ownership by substituting public control of these great national highways, with a continuation of present private ownership. I believe that commission regulation cannot bridge the chasm between public sentiment and the capital necessary for railroad purposes. Meantime the old order of railroad autocrats is going out and a new regime is coming in. Federal incorporation of railroads is being advocated far and wide, but such incorporation will merely perpetuate present abuses, unless their directors are under complete public control. To secure that end, I advocate control by a Federal Railroad Board. In short, my proposal is this: First: Congress should enact a general incorporating act for railroads. Second: That act should exempt such railroads from State regulation. Third: That act should divide the country into railroad zones, each zone to have a Federal Railroad Company, owning the whole or part of the stock of the railroads within its jurisdiction, such stock to be acquired by purchase or exchange, or condemnation, the Government to guarantee 3 per cent dividends on the stock of the Federal Railroad Companies, with a possible extra 3 per cent if earned, all over 6 per cent to go to the Government. Fourth: That act should provide for a Federal Railroad Board to vote all stock and to name the directors at the annual elections of such Federal Railroad Companies, and to fix and determine rates and service, and to have control over the finances of the Federal Railroad Companies. Ever since 1907, I have advocated the use of the corporation with public control to avert government ownership. Meantime the Federal Reserve Bank Act of 1913 has demonstrated the feasibiliy of that idea. Mr. W. M. Acworth, the leading railway economist of England, recently reviewed one of my articles and his review is reprinted on page 45 within.
