One of them is railway regulation. Because the railroads were nubile utilities; which for a considerable period practically monopolized the transportation field, it was in— eviieble that they should sooner or later find themselves regulated by law. Efieciive fed.» eral regulation of, our railroads has joist entered its fifth decade. During most of its history—~— that is. from the enactment of the original in» terstate Commerce Act in 1887 untfiwtlze end of federal control after the 'Werld War, which was marked by the enactment of the Transportation Act of ESQ—the tendency of railway reguln~ tion was almost wholly to restrict the freedom of the railroads and to hold them in check, in order to prevent rate discriminu‘t‘iens lend other evils which lied theretofore existed. To the extent that railway regulation ended such evils, it was a beneficial thing in: the coun- try as a whole and for the milroads themselves; but when, in the course of its extension, it re mained wholly restrictive it was found to have undesirable features which threatened railway credit and the future of railway service. It is an axiom thatthe right to calculate e52— l;ails also the duty to protect. After many yeeas of Wholly restrictive regulation. the out of l‘fifii’l for the first time recognized the fl nt of the railroads to earn a fair retui‘o and directed the Interstate Commerce Commission to see that such a return was earned.
