Excerpt from Railway Tariffs and the Interstate Commerce Law
The inequality of railroad charges forms the pith Of the com plaints usually made. It is the crucial point Of corporate management. On the one hand we have the anti-monopolists, who liken the common carriers to the feudal barons of old, using the mediaeval weapons Of unjust privilege and ill-gotten power to carry out their ends Of rapacity and favoritism. On the other side we have the railway managers, who exultingly exclaim, in so far as charges are concerned: All that is, is just. Where now is the truth of the matter?

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1887, explores the history and justification of railway tariffs and the impact of charging different rates to different customers. The author argues that the principle of cost of service alone cannot be a fair basis for determining railway tariffs, and that the value of service must also be taken into account. This value-of-service principle has historically been used to justify classication (different rates for different types of goods) and local discrimination (different rates for different locations). While acknowledging that there is a legitimate role for classication and differential rates, the author also raises concerns about the potential for abuse and argues for the need for regulation to prevent unfair discrimination. The author's insights provide valuable historical context for understanding the complexities of railway tariff regulation and the ongoing debate over the balance between private interests and the public good in transportation policy.
