Government, by States, by cities, counties, towns, village boards of trustees, school districts, and by almost every other political subdivision of the State. The law of the common carrier and of the public highway and the decisions of the courts embrace volumes of regulation applicable to the conduct of railroad transportation, while the A ct to Regulate Commerce as amended, amplifies, extends and particularizes the regulative principles of the common law in its application to the railroads. It has been asserted by an eminent lawyer that the railroad is held to a more rigid responsibility in the courts than any other litigant. The judicial records of the country afford conclusive evidence of the correctness of this assertion. The published reports of the Government constitute abundant proof of the fact that, the American Railroad System is a thoroughly and admirably regulated system of transportation. Besides the railroads of the country State and National are regelated by a controlling environment of competitive commercial and industrial forces and by an all-pervading and effective system of self-government instituted by the necessities of the interaction of the lines of different companies and by the compulsion of their common necessities. This gprand scheme of self-government is also supplemented by strenuous and effective State and National regulations. A proper appreciation of the force and scope of this vitally important fact seems to justify a brief notice of THE EVOLUTION OF THE AMERICAN RAIL- ROAD SYSTEM. From the year 1830 to about the year i860 the railroads of the United States were, as a rule, disassociated.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
