Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1887, explores the history and justification of railway tariffs and the impact of charging different rates to different customers. The author argues that the principle of cost of service alone cannot be a fair basis for determining railway tariffs, and that the value of service must also be taken into account. This value-of-service principle has historically been used to justify classication (different rates for different types of goods) and local discrimination (different rates for different locations). While acknowledging that there is a legitimate role for classication and differential rates, the author also raises concerns about the potential for abuse and argues for the need for regulation to prevent unfair discrimination. The author's insights provide valuable historical context for understanding the complexities of railway tariff regulation and the ongoing debate over the balance between private interests and the public good in transportation policy.
