The Interstate Commerce Act made prices to ship goods via railroads fair for all who had products to ship, so that small farmers no longer had to pay more than bigger companies.

Railroads had been giving favorable treatment and prices to major companies for shipping freight on rail lines.  The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 aimed to end such practices.  The act contained provisions such as:

<span>... All railroads were required to set fair and reasonable shipping rates.
... Charging different rates for a similar service was declared illegal.
... Railroads could not charge more for short-haul services than a proportional rate of long-haul services on the same route.
... Railroads were forbidden from providing favorable treatment to any person or company or location.
... Railroads were required to display their rates and not charge higher than their posted rates.

Which of the following explains why demographics are important to the country's government?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Right choice:

The government uses population predictions to determine social services.

Explanation:

Demographic studies and projections are important in policy making. It helps governments plan their future social, economic and educational strategies. A healthy, normal birth rate is necessary for a sustained economic growth. When the birth rate is too low, the percentage of old people will increase in the future, while the percentage of  children and young people decreases. This means economic problems in the future: more aging and senior population means increasing healthcare and special services spending; on the other side,  low birth rates mean that the future base of taxpayers and labor force will be reduced.
