Produktbeschreibung
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.
