Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventy Years of America's Greatest Railroad The railroads in this country carry their freight at a cheaper rate, they pay higher wages to their labor, they pay out a greater percentage of their earnings in the form of taxes, than the railroads of any other country in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War History of American Railroads The nomination of these boards by the General Editor was the first step taken in every country where the work has begun. And if any justification was needed for the plan of the Endowment, it at once may be found in the lists of those, distinguished in scholarship or in public affairs, who have accepted the responsibility of editor ship. This responsibility is by no means light, involving as it does, the adaptation of the general editorial plan to the varying demands of national circumstances or methods of work; and the measure of success attained is due to the generous and earnest cooperation of those in charge in each country. Once the editorial organization was established there could be little doubt as to the first step which should be taken in each instance to ward the actual preparation of the history. Without documents there can be no history. The essential records of the war, local as well as central, have therefore to be preserved and to be made avail able for research in so far as is compatible with public interest. But this archival task is a very great one, belonging of right to the gov ernments and other owners of historical sources and not to the his torian or economist who proposes to use them. It is an Obligation of ownership for all such documents are public trust. The collaborators on this section Of the war history, therefore, working within their own field as researchers, could only survey the situation as they found it and report their findings in the form of guides or manuals; and per haps, by stimulating a comparison of methods, help to further the adoption of those found to be most practical. In every country, therefore, this was the point of departure for actual work; although special monographs have not been written in every instance.

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 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crux of the Railroad Difficulty Yet, railroad building has practically ceased. The year 1915 saw less new railroad con struction in this country than in any year since the Civil War, and the beginning of the year 1916 also saw less new track under way than on any New Year's Day in fifty years. That means that double tracking, sidings, etc necessary to prevent in the future such a congestion as that now prevailing, are not being built. Railroad managers are just as eager as ever to build and improve railroads, and the reason they are not embarking upon great improvement plans, is that they cannot get the money.
