What reading level is The Railroads And the People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One of the greatest difficulties in the way of so regulating rates as to limit each railway to a "fair return" is that railways differ as widely as individual men. Some roads are favorably, others unfavorably located. Some managements have great, and others only moderate foresight and ability, and others almost none. To limit the profits of the favorably located and well- managed railways to the current rate of interest would deprive them of the rewards of, and the incentive to, good management.... As rates on all competing roads must be the same, it would pre- vent weaker roads from earning any return, and bankrupt them. How is it possible that anyone can believe that such a policy would be just either to the strong or to the weak roads?
If one formed his opinion solely by following the discussions of railway rates, he would conclude that all the public wants is low rates, and that it is willing that the railroads should reduce the quality of their service indefinitely if this be accompanied by proportionate reduction in rates.
