Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A General Freight and Passenger Post: A Practical Solution of the Railroad Problem Since the last edition of this book the evils in our system of making railway rates which it seeks to remedy have rapidly increased. On the 12th of January, 1903, the Hon. Charles A. Prouty, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, wrote to me: "I have been attempting for several years to emphasize your idea that the present system of making railway rates is Taxation Without Representation In Its Most Dangerous Form." On the 8th of December, 1900, the editor of the Railway Review of Chicago characterized this system of taxation in this language: "Of all the unscientific things in the world, railroad rate-making takes precedence. The whole scheme, so far as yet developed, is the veriest jumble of guess-work, opinions, prejudices, and self-interests that could be imagined, and it is constantly changing." The amount of this taxation for the year ending June 30, 1904, was over $1,966,000,000, and the determination of this tremendous burden is being rapidly concentrated in fewer and fewer hands.
