Excerpt from The Future of the Railroads: Historic and Economic Facts for Railroad Men, Shippers, and Investors To show the probable outcome of the struggle among these three forces, is the purpose of this little book. Many insist that the different objects of the three inter ests are so conflicting that any reconcilia tion is impossible. Rather, these interests are so bound together that one cannot long prosper except as the others prosper like wise. To prove certain statements the writer has used tables, together with comments thereon, prepared by Mr. Slason Thompson, to whom credit is hereby given.

Excerpt from Railroad Valuation and Rates This book is intended primarily as a treatise on the Principles of Rates and their relation to Valuation and Rate Regulation. In view of this fact, the reader is entitled to an explanation of why the first four chapters are devoted to what at first sight seem unrelated subjects. No discussion in regard to the proper basis for rate-making can last very long without reference to Capitalization and Valuation. The discussion on capitalization finally turns on the abuses practiced in the construction and promotion of railroads. Promotion and construction are most intimately connected with capitalization - in fact, very much more so than capitalization is with rate-making. There is seemingly some confusion on the part of some authors and publicists in regard to the facts concerning and the conditions surrounding the promotion and construction of our railroads and the relation which such facts and conditions have to capitalization. Many of us have come to accept these widely published interpretation of facts for the facts themselves, generally because we do not take the time to make the investigation necessary to determine their accuracy.

Excerpt from Some Facts About Treating Railroad Ties The purpose of this book is to furnish some information as to some methods employed in this country for treating railroad cross ties, and to suggest some improvements. It has been my aim to state the facts correctly, without fear or favor, and trust that this work will prove of some value to those interested in wood preservation, and throw some light on this subject. Timber treating is comparatively in its infancy in this country and some of the methods and practices can be materially improved. Develop ment and improvement in the art of timber treating has been retarded by promoters of bogus processes and by the suppression of information and ideas that are opposed to them. The most demoralizing and dangerous elements to meritorious wood preserving in existence today are concerns which have foisted their worthless processes for treating railroad ties on some of the railroads of this country. I cannot patiently accept the present situation or allow their unwarranted assumptions to go unchallenged.

Excerpt from The Railroads and the People Take, for example, its attitude toward secret rebating. This was the most pervading and pernicious abuse that ever devel oped in the railway business in this country, and the public was justified in adopting measures for its suppression. But the pub lic has been unfair in that it has habitually refused to give due weight to the fact that no rebate was ever given which was not received by some one; and that the recipients were just as guilty as the givers; or to the further fact that the railways tried repeatedly to stop rebating, and did more than any one else to get passed the Elkins Act of 1903, which did more to suppress that evil practice than any other piece of legislation.

Excerpt from Stories of the Great Railroads In 1862, there was a reorganization and all the rights and properties of the Minnesota Pacific passed to a new com pany called the St. Paul Pacific, which proceeded to do many things, including the building of some real and much imitation track, and the issuing of many bonds, all of which were sold to the lowly and ignorant European, and chiefly to him of Holland.

Excerpt from Findings of Facts: Relative to the Valuation of Railroads in the State of Washington The original Commission Act provided, in substance, that the Commission should, as early as practicable, ascertain the amount of money expended in the construction and equipment, per mile, of every railroad in Washington. Under this act the Commission, agreeable to its terms, employed experts for the purpose of complying with the provisions of the law. The manifest object of the Legislature was to enable the Commission to ascertain the investment upon which the railroad was entitled to earn a return to be considered in the determination of reasonable rates. After investigating this subject with great care, examining the authorities and particularly the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Commission became convinced that a literal compliance with the terms of the act would be of little, if any, value to the state, as the statute provided for ascertaining but one of the many elements that must of necessity be considered in ascertaining the amount upon which the road is entitled to earn a return. While the original investment is material and should be known, the authorities would indicate that the railroad is entitled to earn a reasonable return on the "value" of the property used by it for the public convenience at the time of the inquiry. And the courts have clearly intimated that in ascertaining this value consideration must be given to not only the original investment, but also to the cost of reproduction, the amount and market value of the stocks and bonds, the density of traffic and, in short, every element that a prudent investor would consider in determining the market value of the property.

Excerpt from The Truth About the Railroads Upon the one hand there is a critical public. Upon the other, the railroads are struggling with forces which are causing rates to remain stationary or to decline, causing wages to rise or to remain stationary, bringing demands from a prosperous and luxurious people for increasingly expensive facilities and service, and causing taxation to rise at an alarming rate. These four forces are all at work reducing the margin between income and outgo and making it more and more difficult for the owners of railroad properties to keep their lines in suit able condition to carry on the business of the country, and to obtain a return commensurate with the risk of the business and sufficient to attract further investment.
