TIME FOR DECISIVE ACTION.

The powers OF the Federal govern
ment relating to taxation aud inter
State commerce in connection with
published reports should be ample to
meet every difficulty. No time should
be wasted in academic discussion as
to the precise evils that may result
from uniens of capital, or as to whe-
Their such evils have as yet been real
lied.
Accumulated wealth should con-
tribute more than it does to the Fed
eral revenue. This is a sufficient rea-
son for commencing Immediately
with the corporations, even if, as is
claimed, the evils of unions Of CAPT
tai are imaginary. The machinery
being prepared by law, the evils can
DO taken hold of as they arise, and
taxation can be so levied as to re.
strain, if that only is desirable, OF
to destroy, If relief is otherwise un-
obtainable. Very respectfully,
FRANCIS G. NEwLAEDs.

THE TRUST QUESTION.
Views of Congressman NewIands
Presented to the Chicago
:. Conference.

Congressman Newlands accepted
the Invitation OF the Civic Fedora
ton at Chicago to address tie recent
conference on trusts held under its
auspices and at which Mr.. Bryan and
Burke Cochran were such prominent
figures At the last moment, how
ever, no was prevented by business
engagements from going, and having
been requested by the Secretary to
communicate his views in writing,
sent letter in which he discusses
the feasibility Of controlling trusts
by Federal taxation, and from which
we take the following extracts:
RENO, Ney., Sept. 20, 1899.
Ralph NJ. Easley, Secretary Con-
ference on Trusts, Ghieago, Ill.-My
Dear Sir: l regret NY inability to
comply with the request of the Civic
Federation to address the Federation
on trusts at Chicago, and avail my
self with pleasure OF the privilege
accorded me OF presenting my views
in writing l shall confine myself to
the remedy.
WHAT is A TRUST? s7'e
Eirst-The term trust" is a mis-
homer as applied to combinations Of
capital which have aroused so much
solicitude. The old trust was CON-
bination Of independent producers to
fix the price of particular commod-
ity. Such combination could be
annullsd ia the courts as an agree
ment in restraint of trade. To-day
the same object is accomplished in a
legal way, viz: by union of capital
in one great corporation which pur
chases the property Of the independ-
ent producers aud makes them all
stockholders ia q common enterprise.
Capital has learned from the labor
union the wisdom of cooperation,
and cooperation is now largely sub
stituted both in labor and capitalistic
unions for the old principle Of COM
petition.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1899-10-11
NO REMEDY IN TARIFF TINKERING.

Second-Tariff legislation will not
reach the difficulty, for combinations
Of capital exist in England, France
and Germany to-day, and the effect
of lowering the tariff would simply
be to substitute foreign trusts for do
nestle trusts in the control Of our
markets. The laberers now employed
by domestic trusts would be idle and
their places taken by laborers en-
ployed abroad by foreign trusts.
The prosperity Of the republic is
founded upon the prosperity of the
American laborer. All legislation
should place the American man above
the American dollar, but it should
not take away tho employment OF the
American laborer.
What we should do is to maintain
for American labor and American
capital the practical monopoly of
American markets.
STATE LEGISLATION WILL FAIL.
Third-All attempts to regulate
capital by State Legislation will fail,
simply because it will be impossible
to produce voluntary cooperation
among the various States.
FEDERAL LEGISLATION.
Fourth-The only adequate RENE
dy is through Federal legislation, the
operation of which will be uniform
throughout the Republic. 1t is true
that the Federal government cannot
prevent the organization of State
corporations, nor is this desirable,
but it can, through regulation Of In
tef-State commerce, restrain their
operation, and use its taxing power
in such way as to either destroy or
regulate and control.
BEST AND ONLY REMEDY
Fifth-The power Of taxation OF
the Federal government is ample to
meet the difficulty, and it is much
more far-reaching than the power
exercised under the Interstate COM
merce section of the Constitution.
The power OF taxation can be used
either to destroy or restrain, and it
has been so used within our expert
ence.
-
Why cannot this power be used In
reference to the modern trust and in
most efficient way? Through it
two evils can be reached. One, the
monopoly of production by unions of
capital, and the other the escape OF
organized wealth from the burthsn OF
taxation. The latter is one OF the
crying evils OF the times. The whole
tendency of Federal legislation has
been to exempt accumulated wealth.
The wealth OF the country has been
rapidly drifting into corporations.
Although restricted BY the income
tax decision, the field of Federal tax
alton is still large one, for it en-
braces all the transactions of bust
ness, and though the real and per-
sonal property Of corporation and
the income therefrom cannot be d.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1899-10-11

rectly reached, yet every transaction
Ia which such corporations engage
may be made the subject of taxation
by the Federal geverppent, aud the
taxes imposed may be classified in
such 8 way as to restrain unions of
capital in their mouopolistic tenden-
cies.
TAX ACCUMULATED WEALTH
The purpose of Federal legislation
should be to reach accumulated
wealth and at the same time protect
individualism. Taxes, therefore, i'm
posed upon che transactions of cor
porations, will accomplish both plr-
poses. They will reach accumulated
wealth and they will protect indiMd-
ualism, for the individual, freed from
the handicap of such taxes, may be
able to hold bis own, and thus the
handicap of the tax will preserve the
equilibrium between individual enter
prise on one hand and corporate an
terprise on the other.
The first step should be the organ
ization of Bureau OF Industry,
somewhat resembling the Bureau Of
the Controller of the Currency, to
which report should be made by all
corporations, showing the amount Of
their capital stock, their bonds, THEFT
income, their transactions, the mum,
Der of operatives employed, the wa
ges paid, aud all other data, which in
time will present a mass OF statisti.
cal Information that will aid and
guide legislation. Publicity itself
will do much in the way OF correct.

suggest definite remedies.
