Parsons, Frank. Heart of the railroad problem: the history of railway discrimination in the United States, with efforts at control, remedies proposed, and hints from other countries. **$1.50. Little.
Twenty years of study and observation have been brought into Dr. Parsons’ treatment of this subject. “The study reveals the facts in reference to railway favoritism—or unjust discrimination from the beginning of our railway history to the present time, discloses the motives and causes of discrimination, discusses various remedies that have been proposed, and gathers hints from the railway systems of other countries to clarify and develop the conclusions indicated by our railroad history.”
“It is by far the most important, authoritative and comprehensive popular discussion of the rate question that has appeared, and no intelligent American should fail to read it.”
