Synopsis
Defending a national frame for railroad rates and regulation This address argues for a single, comprehensive schedule of interstate rates and explains why government oversight is needed to prevent unfair charges. It walks through legal history, court decisions, and the practical workings of enforcing such laws in a vast, complex system.
The author lays out why railways are public highways and how the state’s sovereignty underpins rate setting. He discusses the balance between company revenue and public rights, and why a unified schedule could reduce confusion for shippers and officials. The text also contrasts executive enforcement with court remedies, and outlines the practical machinery required to supervise and enforce fair rates.
- Understand the legal backdrop for regulating railroad rates in the early 1900s
- Explore arguments for a single, public schedule of rates
- Learn how enforcement might work, including the roles of courts and government agencies
- See the practical considerations of balancing company revenue with public interest
Ideal for readers interested in the history of U.S. transportation policy, economic regulation, and the origins of interstate commerce law framed by a railway executive.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of the Interstate Commerce Act, a law passed in 1887 to regulate the railroad industry in the United States. The author argues that the law was not initially effective in preventing railroad companies from engaging in unfair practices, such as charging different rates to different customers for the same service. The author also discusses the various attempts that have been made to strengthen the law over the years, and the challenges that remain in ensuring that the railroad industry operates in a fair and competitive manner. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of railroad regulation in the United States, and offers insights into the broader issue of how to regulate large corporations.
