Excerpt from American Railroad Rates The railroad problem, with respect to charges, has always been a problem of freight rates rather than of passenger fares. The freight traffic upon the American railroads far exceeds the passenger traffic in volume, complexity, and importance. In order to avoid confusion of statement, this book deals only with freight rates. But the fundamental principles governing rates and fares are the same.

Excerpt from American Railway Transportation The rapid progress made by American railroads dur ing the past five years, and the extraordinary amount of regulative legislation enacted by the States and the Fed eral Government, have made necessary a thorough revision of this volume.

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.

Excerpt from Federal Regulation of Railway Rates This series of books owes its existence to the generosity of messrs. Hart, Schaffner, and Marx of Chicago, who have shown a special interest in trying to draw the attention of American youth to the study of economic and commercial subjects, and to encourage the best thinking of the country to investigate the problems which vitally affect the business world of to-day. For this purpose they have delegated to the undersigned Committee the task of selecting topics, making all announcements, and awarding prizes annually for those who wish to compete. In the year ending June 1, 1906, the following topics were assigned: 1. To what extent, and by what administrative body, should the public attempt to control railway rates in interstate commerce? 2. A just and practicable method of taxing railway property. 3. Will the present policy of the labor unions in dealing with non-union men, and the "closed shop," further the interests of the workingmen? 4. Should ship subsidies be offered by the government of the United States? 5. An examination into the economic causes of large fortunes in this country. 6. The influence of credit on the level of prices. 7. The cattle industry in its relation to the ranchman, feeder, packer, railway, and consumer.
