Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Proposed Radical Railway Legislation: An Address Delivered Before the Faculty and Students of the University of Missouri, October 20, 1905 The legislative proposal which we are to consider is the defendants in a particular class of controversies shall be compelled to submit to the judgment of a tribunal different in character and in methods of procedure from the judicial tribunals created under the Constitution and in conformity with the practice of all English-speaking peoples. The demand is that when the Interstate Commerce Commission has exercised the judicial power of determining that existing rates are unlawful, it shall, thereupon, have and exercise the legislative power to prescribe the rates which must in future be applied between the same places and to the same articles of traffic. Undoubtedly this would be a radical change from existing methods, but not because it would effectively establish governmental power to control railway charges. Interstate railways are common carriers, and the principle that the rates of common carriers must be reasonable and just is as old as the Common Law.
