rsau Of corporations today submitted to
Secretary Straus of tine department of
commerce and labor the annual report

year ended June 30, 1905. In all re-
snects il is the most important report
vet submitted by the bureau of corpo-
rstions. The work of the bureau dur
ing the last fiscal year was more varied
than during any similar period since
the establishment OF the department of

cations OF many important industries.
and he now has on hand as current
work inquiries into the tobacco indus
Try. steel industry, international Har-
vester company, lumber Industry, cot

The most important LEGAL work of the

common everyday cures advertised
that they have about made up their
minds that they have something else
wrong, or believe theirs is a case Of
Nervousness Gasttitis, Catarrh Of the
Stomach or Cancer.
This is a serious mistake. Your
real trouble is, what you eat does not
digest: instead, II ferments and sours,
turns TO acid, Gas and Stomach poison,
which will putrefy in the entire digest
i've tract and intestines. and, besides,
poison the breath with. nauseous odors.

Regulation and Control.
Discussing the general subject of COR
porate regulation and control, Com
missioner Smith says:
There is an irresistible movement to-
ward concentration in business. We
must recognize the fect that industrial
concentration is already largely accom-
piished in spite OF general statutory
prohibition. The aim of new legislation
should be to regulate, rather than to
prohibit. combination. 1t is an obvious
abslIrdity to attempt to do both at the
some time. and prohibition has prac-
tically failed. Our present law forbid
ding all combination therefore needs
adaptation 60 the actual facts. If We
are to do anything effective with the
corporation question we must make an
advance on our present legislation. The
practical object is to see that business
opportunity and the highways of COM
merce are kept equally open to ali; TO
prevent fraud, special privileges and
unfair competition. To do this we must
recognize concentration, supervise il

have a system of efficient publicity.

Recommendations.
THE control by the federal govern

Supervision.

We must have a system Of super
vision which provides a working basis
tor conference and cooperation, and
which does not rely merely on criminal
procedure and opposition. There is not
only a change in the attitude of bust
ness leaders. There is also an aroused
and intelligent demand from the public
for fair business methods and for equal
commercial opportunity for all. The
future of the nation must depend large
~ upon the stability of its business ma
chinery. That machinery cannot be
permanent CT successful unless it oper-
ates openly and justly. IL must place
and keep IN control Of our great com
mercial forces men who have risen
there solely by superior industrial eff
hciency. It must protect such men
from the competition Of those who get
power by unfair and Illegal methods
aud privileges praetices that rely pc
culiarly on secrecy To do this the gov
eminent must have such supervision
and control of that corporate ma
chinery as viii maintain in business the
fundamental American ideal Of equal
opportunity to all"
