a thorough examination OF the organi-
Zation and development of the Ameri-
can Tobacco company and its subsidl
larry concerns. 1t also included certain
Independent tobacco corporations. The
American Tobacco company gave the
bureau practically free access TO all it's
very extensive and voluminous records,
SO that the bureau was able to present
ar unusually complete and satisfactory
history of the organization or one of
the great interstate corporations of the
country. Additional parts are now in
course of preparation.
On May II, 1909, the bureau pub
lished part I of its report on the taxa
ton of corporations. This concerned
the system Of taxing manufacturing,
mercantile, transportation, and trans
mission corporations in the six New
England states. The uniform presenta-
ton OF these systems allows of COMPARE
son, and the purpose of the report was
to make the general principles and
practices Of taxation in these states
available In concise and untechnical
shape for the average reader Finan-
cial results of each system for the
latest fiscal year were given In each
case the principal state officials were
consulted at length as to methods and
practical enforcement No taxation sys-
tenn can be properly understood from
a mere examination of statutes or
without adding thereto a knowledge Of
the method and practical results of It's
enforcement Similar reports as to other
sections of the country are in course
of preparation. The subject is of such
great current Importance. and involves
such remarkable differences in theory
and practice. that 1t is believed that
such presentation will have very con-
siderable value.

production of standard rails for the
years 1902 10 1906. inclusive. On De-

to a similar request, furnished to the
chairman Of the said committee a state

unique IN its accuracy and scope The
data as to rails covered companies pro-
