Sinossi
Excerpt from The Defects of the Interstate Commerce: An Address by A. B. Stickney, President of the Chicago Great Western Railway Company at a Meeting of the Washington Economic Society, in Washington, D. C., February 3, 1905
A schedule of definite rates which the law should declare reasonable and just would be enforceable, because of cer tainty; while the words of the present law, that all rates shall be reasonable and just, and that every unjust and un reasonable charge is prohibited and declared to be unlaw ful, are rhetorically grand words, but as enforceable legis lation the language may be regarded as void for uncertainty.
The interstate law was not a hasty enactment. A very able committee of the senate occupied more than a year in collecting facts and opinions of all classes of the public in all sections of the country, and the committee considered and discussed at considerable length the advisability of giving the commission authority to make such a schedule of rates.

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.
