A Simple and Sure Solution of the Transportation Problem (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes a transportation solution, the Grosscup Plan, to the issues with big business control over citizens and communities brought on by railroad companies with private cars and other circumlocutions. The author presents a well-reasoned argument that rate discrepancies among shippers and communities are unjust and could be resolved by this plan. The crux of the Grosscup Plan is to move inquiries and prosecutions out of the hands of the Circuit Courts and into the hands of an executive department of the government better equipped to handle the complexity of such cases, and create a separate court of transportation, devoted solely to railroad regulation. With a life tenure and jurisdiction limited to transportation issues, these judges would be uniquely positioned to study and enforce fair rates for both shippers and railroads. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of transportation, particularly railroads, and their regulation, as well as readers interested in business practices and fair competition. It also provides valuable insights for legislators, lawyers, and economists.
