Excerpt from Railway Regulation: An Analysis of the Underlying Problems in Railway Economics From the Standpoint of Government Regulations

In the following pages an attempt is made to present an analysis of the leading problems in railway economics from the standpoint of government regulation in the United States. While it has been my purpose to Vitalize the discussion by the liberal use of concrete illustrative material, the emphasis throughout has been placed upon the discovery of underlying causes and the consideration of fundamental principles.

The historical development of railway transportation has been traced only in so far as early conditions and past events have been shown to throw light upon the meaning and significance of current practices and present day problems. The various stages in the growth of the American system of public control, state and national, have been given careful and detailed consideration be cause the principles and methods of railway regulation, as applied in the United States today, are the result of a gradual development. Both legislative enactment and judicial decision have slowly accommodated themselves to the irresistible pressure of our changing social and political ideals and our expanding commercial and indus trial needs.
