A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Government Regulation of Railways It might be expected, especially as I am addressing a body of lawyers, that in dealing with my subject I would consider some of the interesting legal questions which have arisen in connection with the public regulation of railways, but the greater importance of the economic and financial issues involved have induced me to discuss them rather than the more purely legal aspects of the question. I f, in railway regulation, our aim is to subserve and advance the public welfare, we are aided but little by a too exclusive reliance upon mere legal learning. Our true enlightenment must come from a study of the economic and financial conditions involved. We can thus more clearly discern the public interests affected and more readily understand that these interests are not really antagonistic to those of the railways. On the contrary, these interests are interdependent, and an injury to one works to the disadvantage of the other. In adopting this line of discussion, I assume that the public interest is of first importance and my purpose is to consider how that interest can best be promoted. I am not here to make a special plea for railway interests, but shall attempt, from an independent and impartial standpoint, to arrive at the principles which should govern the proper exercise of this regulative function.
