The government management of Indian railways
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)I do not propose tonight to deal with the whole question of Indian Railways; it would be too wide a subject. I wish to refer to the recently published Report of Mr. Thomas Robertson, who was formerly Manager of the Great ... -

The practice of the Commercial Court
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)I must preface my remarks upon this subject by stating that the Commercial Court to which I allude has no existence in Ireland, and therefore I am at a disadvantage in dealing with a system of judicial procedure with ... -

Canals and waterways of western Europe
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)A history of the waterways of the world would tell a great part of the story of early human migration and the rise and growth of commercial intercourse. In early days, it was by rivers rather than by forest tracks that ... -
Cartels and syndicates in German industry
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The object of this paper is to give some account of these German industrial organisations, known as Cartels and Syndicates. I am afraid not many of us in this country paid much attention to them until the question of " ... -
Fiscal policy: some lessons from the Blue Book
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)When I was asked to read a paper to this Society on the proposed changes in British Fiscal Policy which have made such a stir in recent times, I recognised at once that the subject must be treated here, not as one of ... -
Suggested substitutes for the present Poor Law system

A plea for tillage farming on co-operative lines
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)I must first of all apologise for the type of paper I am privileged to read before you tonight. It must be to a certain extent, egotistical, it must be in the nature of a proposition, and I must ask you to believe what ... -
Licensing and publichouse reform in Ireland
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)"No apology is, I think, needed for introducing this subject to the consideration of the Society, although I could wish that the task had fallen to one more conversant with it than I am. The evils of intemperance are ... -
