This book meticulously examines the relationship between tariff duties and preferential railroad transportation rates in the United States between 1913 and 1921. During this period, the author found that preferential railroad rates were not intended to offset tariffs, but were a carefully crafted system to adjust railroad charges with reference to rates on like commodities handled by carriers serving rival ports.
