Excerpt from American Railway Problems: In the Light of European Experience or Government Regulation Vs; Government Operation of Railways The purpose of this work is to present the broader economic, political and social aspects of our railway problem, while leaving in the background those technical and administrative questions which must remain largely the same, whether we adhere to our present policy of Government regulation or decide to embark upon a regime of public ownership and management. While maintaining that our present experiment with State and Federal regulation should be tried out energetically and thoroughly, so as to bring it to the most successful attainable issue, at the same time I have endeavoured to make clear that the alternative of Government ownership, if brought about in a conservative and businesslike way, is very far from constituting the dangerous possibility which many railway apologists and others would have us consider it. As a matter of fact, in view of the indisputable success of State railways in Continental Europe, the assumption that we are constitutionally incapable of achieving similarly happy results would seem more like an interested prejudice or an exploded superstition than like a sound deduction from known facts.

Excerpt from Government Ownership of Railways: Considered as the Next Great Step in American Progress I want to convince you of the truth of four significant contentions which I make. First: that government ownership is all but an accomplished fact in the world at the pre sent time. Second: that all the governments which have tried the system of nationalization of railways were never so active as now in the matter of bringing about complete govern ment ownership by extending the present system by purchase and construction. Third: that the sentiment in favor of government ownership among the people of this country, and of the world for that matter, is more general and deeply seated than it is commonly understood to be. And fourth: when govern ment ownership comes in this country it is likely to appear very suddenly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Drift Toward Government Ownership of Railways There is an unmistakable drift toward government ownership of rail ways in the United States. This ten deney is probably most apparent to those closely identified with railway affairs; but it is also evident to many who are interested in the railway busi ness chiefly, or only, as observers and students of economic, industrial, and political problems. In the first place, there has been for some years a rather unsteady but cer tain increase in the number of socialists in the country; and those who thus fa vor public ownership and management of all of the means of both production and distribution must be counted in with those others who favor public acquisition of the principal means of distribution. There has also been an increase in the number of those who advocate public ownership of all public utilities, of which steam railways are the largest. Finally, there has been a mighty growth in the number who favor very stringent regulation of railways, and who have succeeded in getting this policy adopted. The last-named class, which is much the largest, may finally turn the scale for public ownership. For its members now expect much from regulation lower rates, better service, smaller railway dividends, complete elimination of traffic discriminations.
