The Burden of Railway Rates examines the contentious issue of freight and express charges levied upon the people of Western Canada. This compilation of articles originally published in the Manitoba Free Press highlights the disparity between rates in Western Canada and those in Eastern Canada and adjoining states. The book argues that these higher rates are unjustifiable and place an undue burden on the region's economy and its inhabitants. This work provides valuable insights into the historical context of transportation economics and regional inequalities in early 20th-century Canada.
