A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The object of this book is to provide for the intelligent citizen including the large inarticuiaie public, as well as the student, the publicist, the legislator, the business man, the ilupper, and the railroad security holder, executive, and empkyee an analysis of the American railroad problem as it presents itself to-day. Of all the great current social and ecooomic questions, it is doubtful whether any domestic probkm is as significant or far-reaching, from the standpoint of the general welfare, as the problem of the railroads. Not ooly is cvcr -cititcn vitally concerned in its satisfactory adjust Bomt, but the degree of success which crowns the joint efforts of private enterprise and goveniment activity in its solution ill constitute the most convincing lest of the efficacy of our democratic institutions in meeting the dominant tasks of this paerstiofk At ever -point, therefore, the essential issues nasi be conceived in terms of their public bearing, and each naxtire designed to adjust conflicting claims must be a se scd with reference to the common good. A great complexity of ttrests is involved. Ei.-en when reduced to most general categories, they comprehend those of the users of the ttanspoTU tion service, of the owners of the railroad properties, and the employees cnpagcd in the performance of transportation While each of these intcrcst-s must be adeciuatcly safcfiuarded, the public stake in the proper functioning of the transportation industry transcends them all. Justice, once wrote Don Roscoe Pound, is the ideal compromise lictwcen the activsies of each and the activities of all in a crowded world.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
