Excerpt from The Canadian Railway Problem Do not infer from the historical portions of The Canadian Railway Problem that the owners of the private railways of this country are worse than other men. Give the ordinary individual the control of a function of the state for his private gain, and, he will exercise all the authority committed to him and take all the gain allowed. The wrong is in the system, which permits a sovereign right to become the subject of usury. It will be proved in these pages that railway rates are public taxes, the service of the railway being the prerogative of the state, and that therefore the revindication of this prerogative, long surrendered into private hands in Canada, is not merely a matter of expediency - it is a duty. That the administration of railways by the state may prove more efficient or less does not absolve the people from this duty in the least. Yet on the points of efficiency, economy, and integrity of administration the reader will here have the records of both systems. Let him judge between them. In its essence the railway problem is one of self-government, and that being the case, its settlement is not one for railway experts, but for statesmen.

Excerpt from Canada's Railway Problem and Its Solution: Revised Copy of Paper Read Before the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, January 18th, 1917 It should be no more difficult to get a private corporation of the very best class to take over our present roads. Than it was for Sir John Macdonald. The present conditions are much more favorable. At that date neither the Canadian nor the American Northwest had been proved to be capable of supporting a large population. The only railways in the country north and west of St. Paul. Were a small portion of the Northern Pacific which up to that time had proved to be a financial failure; the St. Paul Pacific. Some 400 miles in length. Which only the year before had been taken out of the hands of the receivers and reorganized by Mr. Hill. Under the name of the St. Paul. Minneapolis Manitoba. And a few miles of the Canadian Pacific under construction west of Lake Superior. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Canada's Railroad Problem: An Analysis of the Advantages of and Objections to the Government Ownership of Canadian Railways, With a Suggestion as to the Remedies for Our Existing Difficulties The importance of the railways to the country and the difficulties encountered by them in the financing of their operations have been so great as to cause the government last year to appoint a railway board of inquiry composed of experts, to go into the situation thoroughly and report its findings and recommendations. This board has re cently completed its labors and from the statements published in advance of the report itself, it seems as if a majority of that body were in favor of the nationaliza tion of the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk systems.'responding to the country's needs, showing wonderful adaptability and displaying initiative and ability of a high order. Such a system of administration, under which the extension of the transportation facilities has been of untold service in the development of agriculture, trade and manufactures. And which has been to a large extent re sponsible for the great prosperity and increasing wealth of this country, should not be cast aside unless there is at hand a new and better system which would indubitably carry on this service with equal or greater results. Let us, then, consider briefly, but carefully and deliberately, the preposrd change and weigh the arguments pro and con with unbiased judgment.

Excerpt from The Canadian Railroad Question: Arguments and Facts Submitted to a Committee of the United States Senate The interests of Detroit and the State of Michigan in the subject-matter of your committee's inquiry is very great. This city and State are peculiarly situated. On the east we have Canada and the intervening boundary waters between Canada and the United States. Our only way of ingress and egress from and to the east by railway, save through Canada, is via Toledo, around Lake Erie. The distance between Detroit and Buffalo by this route, is 361 miles.

Excerpt from The Canadian Railway Act, 1903: Annotated The necessity for a book of this character has arisen from the fact that no second edition of the late Mr. Abbotts valuable work on Railway Law has been published since its issue in 1896, and also from the radical changes effected in the Railway Act of Canada by the consolidation and amendments made in 1903. The present annotated edition of the Statute is offered to meet the evident demand for a book dealing with the changed conditions of modern railway legislation in Canada. The authors are greatly indebted to Mr. J. Campbell MacMurchy, of Osgoode Hall, Barrister-at-law, for valuable assistance in the preparation of the work and during the period of its passing through the press.
