AMERICAN RAILROAD RATES

By JUDGE WALTER C. NOYES

Author of “The Law of Intercorporate Relations,” etc.

A masterly work, reviewing the most highly controversial economic issue of the day in this country.—New York Commercial.

Judge Noyes is the possessor of a thorough knowledge of the complicated subject of rate-making.—Chicago Record-Herald.

The most intelligent discussion of the subject which has yet appeared.—New York Law Journal.

Judge Noyes’ handling of the question is clear, impressive, and indicative of a mastery of the legal or constitutional side of the subject.—Springfield Republican.

A careful reading will help toward a solution of the problem of federal regulation of railway rates.—Railway Age.

We know of no book which will give the lay reader so clear and so authoritative a statement of the fundamental legal principles which must govern in the determination of the pending question concerning government regulation of railway rates.—Outlook, New York.

It is truly refreshing to turn to the book. Every aspect, historical or actual, of the question is dealt with, including discrimination, pooling, competition.—Chicago Evening Post.

A book covering completely a field heretofore only touched in spots.—Indianapolis News.

A remarkable book, considered from every point of view—economic, practical, legal.—Edgar J. Rich, General Solicitor of the Boston & Maine R. R.

For readers desirous of reaching a clear understanding both of the legal and economic questions involved in the fixing of railroad rates there is probably no better handbook. His whole attitude is eminently judicial, open-minded, and impartial.—St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The author is an expert in railroad management and his opinions are judicial and wholly unbiased.—American Law Review.
