Book Description
Excerpt from The Doctrine of Presumed Dedication of Private Property to Public Use, in Its Application to Railroads In the April (1881) number of the "North American Review," I published an article on "The Ownership of Railroad Property." It was the object of that article to maintain that the property of railroad corporations, which has been purchased by private funds, has all the attributes of private property; and that, unless the charter of the corporation, or some law of the State which, by fair implication, or by express provision, is to be regarded as a part of the contract between the State and the corporation, has reserved to the State a power to regulate the rates of fare and freight, the corporation has the same right to fix its own rates as the owner of any other property has to determine the price for which he will allow the use of his property, and will render his personal services in connection with that use.

The People’s Welfare
Author: William J. Novak
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807863653
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Much of today's political rhetoric decries the welfare state and our maze of government regulations. Critics hark back to a time before the state intervened so directly in citizens' lives. In The People's Welfare, William Novak refutes this vision of a stateless past by documenting America's long history of government regulation in the areas of public safety, political economy, public property, morality, and public health. Challenging the myth of American individualism, Novak recovers a distinctive nineteenth-century commitment to shared obligations and public duties in a well-regulated society. Novak explores the by-laws, ordinances, statutes, and common law restrictions that regulated almost every aspect of America's society and economy, including fire regulations, inspection and licensing rules, fair marketplace laws, the moral policing of prostitution and drunkenness, and health and sanitary codes. Based on a reading of more than one thousand court cases in addition to the leading legal and political texts of the nineteenth century, The People's Welfare demonstrates the deep roots of regulation in America and offers a startling reinterpretation of the history of American governance.
