Is Government Development of Inland Waterways Fair to Railways? Pro.
Congressional Digest. Sep24, Vol. 3 Issue 12, p373-395. 2p.
The article presents the author's views on the influence of the development of inland waterways on rail transportation in the U.S. The only hostile influence against improvement and use of internal water routes is the railroads. For years they have done their utmost to oppose large appropriations for improving rivers and canals, upon which they looked as upon actual or potential competitors. In many instances boat lines were driven out of business by establishment of cut throat rail rates. Now railroads complain of hostile legislation, lack of support, loss of confidence, and general unfriendliness towards them. Railroads have been the U.S. most marvelous developers of civilization and progress any country has ever known.

The article presents the author's views on the influence of the development of inland waterways on rail transportation in the U.S. The American railroads industry has shown remarkable efficiency in increasing the volume of transportation without equal increase in investment or operating expense. As a general rule, therefore the public interest will be best served by giving to the railroads rather than frittering away from them and all the traffic which lies within their economic field. The biggest artificial water transportation project in active operation in the country is the New York State Barge Canal. The shipper over the Barge Canal contributes nothing toward the compensation of the capital invested in the canal, nor the annual expense of its maintenance.

The Lives of the Constitution : Ten Exceptional Minds That Shaped America’s Supreme Law
2018
In a fascinating blend of biography and history, Joseph Tartakovsky tells the epic and unexpected story of our Constitution through the eyes of ten extraordinary individuals—some renowned, like Alexander Hamilton and Woodrow Wilson, and some forgotten, like James Wilson and Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Tartakovsky brings to life their struggles over our supreme law from its origins in revolutionary America to the era of Obama and Trump. Sweeping from settings as diverse as Gold Rush California to the halls of Congress, and crowded with a vivid Dickensian cast, Tartakovsky shows how America's unique constitutional culture grapples with questions like democracy, racial and sexual equality, free speech, economic liberty, and the role of government. Joining the ranks of other great American storytellers, Tartakovsky chronicles how Daniel Webster sought to avert the Civil War ; how Alexis de Tocqueville misunderstood America; how Robert Jackson balanced liberty and order in the battle against Nazism and Communism; and how Antonin Scalia died warning Americans about the ever-growing reach of the Supreme Court. From the 1787 Philadelphia Convention to the clash over gay marriage, this is a grand tour through two centuries of constitutional history as never told before, and an education in the principles that sustain America in the most astonishing experiment in government ever undertaken.

The Rebel Soldier Who Became Chief Justice of the United States : The Civil War and its Legacy for Edward Douglass White of Louisiana .
American Journal of Legal History; Jun2016, Vol. 56 Issue 2, p209-264, 56p
Edward Douglass White (1844-1921) was appointed associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1894 when he was a sitting U.S. senator, and was elevated to chief justice in 1910. Given his background--White was a Democrat, Confederate veteran, sugar planter and lawyer from New Orleans, and son of a Louisiana governor--one would have expected White to share the legal and political views of others of his background, class, and region, which were generally hostile to federal power and supportive of white supremacy. Yet White was a nationalist on the Supreme Court. He was considered a de facto Republican by many prominent northern Republicans, and was elevated to the chief's seat by William Howard Taft. As a justice White voted repeatedly to uphold expansive uses of Congress's regulatory and taxing powers, including powers first exercised by the Union during the Civil War to tax income and raise armies by conscription. White did not have enlightened racial views, and joined the majority of the Court in Plessy v. Ferguson. But he also wrote the Court's decisions holding unconstitutional that so-called "grandfather clauses" that were used in the South after the war to prevent African-Americans from voting, and voted in favor of civil rights in other important cases. Previous biographers have recognized the importance of White's experience as a Confederate soldier to his life and later judicial and political outlook. But the details they have published about White's military service have been only brief and vague, and sometimes simply wrong. Relying on a far broader array of original and secondary sources than any previous study, this paper explores what exactly White did, saw, and experienced during the Civil War . Crucially, though, the story is also one about omissions and even deception by White. A newly-discovered document shows that he lied to Federal interrogators about his war service when he was captured in 1865. In later life White rarely spoke of the war , and when he did he offered almost no details about his service. He failed to correct the record when inaccurate biographical details about his service were published. His actual war service was almost certainly much less extensive and honorable than previous biographers have claimed. The most detailed information we possess shows him joining a marauding guerrilla band in rural Louisiana in the closing months of the war . Later in life, what White did clearly and honestly express about the war was deep regret that it occurred at all, anguish about its human toll and effect on his beloved country, and self-criticism about his youthful service on the Confederate side. This picture that emerges of White and his war service is much more complex than offered in previous biographical studies, and provides a surer foundation for assessing his jurisprudence on the Supreme Court and accurately understanding his place in the country's political and legal history.
