Excerpt from A List of Books With References to Periodicals, Relating to Railroads: In Their Relation to the Government and the Public This issue is a reprint from the plates of the first with the addition of a "Select list of recent works relating to government regulation and government ownership of railroads," pp. 41-54, and the continuation of articles in periodicals down to 1907, pp. 63-94. The legislation which resulted in the Interstate Commerce Law of June 29, 1906, brought about the publication of numerous works. The discussions, in large part, are to be found in periodical literature. Some of the books produced on the subject are recorded on pp. 41-54 of this List. "The hearings before the Committee on Interstate Commerce, United States Senate," from December 16, 1904 to May 23, 1905, are printed as Senate document 243, 59th Congress, 1st session, comprising five volumes. The digest of the hearings in one volume, forms Senate document 244, 59th Congress, 1st session. On pp. 7-9 of this List there is a summary statement of federal reports and legislation. Subsequent material of this description is given under the heading United States, pp. 51-54 of this List. This is restricted to legislation subsequent to the Pacific railroad undertakings. This subject will be treated separately. In the fifth volume of the "Hearings before the Committee on Interstate Commerce, United States Senate," pp. 1231-1296, there is a list of bills and resolutions introduced in Congress respecting the regulation of railway transportation. This may be consulted in connection with the list of reports here furnished. In the speeches in Congress in 1874, when the Windom bill was reported, down to enactment of the Interstate commerce act of 1906 there are discussions of all phases of the question of government control, especially of its constitutionality. These are noted on pp. 95-112. The debates on the Interstate Commerce Law of 1906 are printed in the Congressional Record, 59th Congress, 1st session. The index volume of the Record will guide to speeches on the act and to its legislative history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
