The author, a railroad official with decades of experience, argues that railroads have been unfairly targeted by politicians, muckrakers, and yellow journalists. He presents evidence that the industry has been underregulated, leading to discrimination against small shippers and the inability for railroads to raise capital for necessary improvements. The author implores the public to demand fair treatment for railroads, emphasizing their importance to the nation's economy and prosperity. This book provides a unique perspective on the challenges faced by a vital American industry during a period of rapid growth and change.
