TAFT HURRYING TRUST HUNTERS III THEIR WORK (Continued From Page One.) been made with regard to the tobacco trust and cotton exchanges. The cot ton exchanges already have been offi cially critcised, and as a result New York and New Orleans have appointed special committees to confer with the commissioner of corporations for the purpose of Improving methods of op eration and administration. The investigation of the International Harvester company, has not been and will not be abandoned. Agents are in the field inquiring Into its methods and their reports are now being considered. This investigation will not be finished for some time. It is expected the report on the steel trust will be ready for submission io congress during the regular session next, year. State Taxes Lack Uniformity. One of the interesting publications forthcoming will relate to the attitude of the states in regard to the taxation "f corporations, ""lis report will be worthy of especttention in view of the discussion the Question of raising federal revJ eaue by imposing a national tax upon corporations engaged In interstate business. It was recently suggested to President Taft that a tax of 2 per cent be applied upon dividends of such corporations. Secretary MacVeagh estimated that the total revenue which would be derived from this source would be only $15,000,000. Moreover, it became apparent that the tax would not be equable since there are many "close corporations" which do not pay dividends, but dispose of the profits by paying large salaries. The democrats urge a tax of onefourth of 1 per cent upon the gross receipts of all corporations engaged in interstate commerce, estimating a revenue of about $40,000,000. There is no likelihood that the democratic proposition will prevail. No New Inquiries Begun. No new investigations have been begun by the bureau of corporations, nor Is it probable that under its present organization it will do more than complete the work in which It is now engaged. The regulation of corporations has greatly advanced during the last five years. Commissioner of Corporations Smith believes the time has come for a further advance. - He would like to see established a broad system of corporation publicity through a federal office, such a system to provide for the conference and cooperation of all interests. A man more absolutely governed by pure reason than Lord Macaulay could not well be found, but In his diary he refers to an after-dinner talk about the feeling which Johnson had of thinking oneself bound to touch a particular rail or post and to tread in the middle of a paving stone, and he adds: T certainly have this vary strongly- -
