Railway Regulation: State and Interstate is a book written by Robert Marion La Follette and published in 1905. The book examines the regulation of railways in both state and interstate contexts in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. La Follette, who was a U.S. Senator and Governor of Wisconsin, was a prominent advocate for progressive reforms, including regulation of the railway industry. In this book, La Follette provides a historical overview of the development of railway regulation in the United States, including the role of state and federal governments in regulating the industry. He explores the various regulatory mechanisms that were put in place to address issues such as rate discrimination, safety, and monopolistic practices. La Follette also discusses the political and economic forces that shaped railway regulation, including the influence of powerful railroad companies and the growing public demand for reform. He argues that effective regulation is necessary to ensure fair competition and protect the interests of consumers and smaller businesses. Overall, Railway Regulation: State and Interstate provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex and evolving regulatory landscape of the railway industry in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. It remains an important historical resource for scholars and policymakers interested in the history of transportation regulation and the development of progressive politics in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
