COMMISSIONER HERBERT KNOX
SMITH MAKES REPORT
TO PRESIDENT.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The commissioner OF
corporations, Herbert Knox Smith,
sets forth In q report to the President
the intricate financial side of the
American Tobacco Company. familiar
iy known as the tobacco trust. and
which now Is in process Of dissolu-
ton. by order of the Supreme Court
of the United States. because 1t was
a combination in restraint of trade in
law
1t was the second part of report
on the tobacco industry and deal with
the earnings. capitalization and invest
ment of the great tobacco combina-
ton.
The commissioner says that the
vast earning power which arose from
the substantial control of the tobacco
industry was monopoly resulting
from concentration. The capitaliza-
ton of this monopollstic power was
much greater than the actual invest
ment and by clever arrangement the
bulk of the earnings were centerei 4
in the hands of a small group OF in
dividuals.
The enormous profits resulting from
the initiation OF the securities and the
dividends paid thereon, the report con-
cludes, rested In their ultimate analy-
sis upon the monopolistic advantages
obtained in the tobacco industry
through concentration OF control.
The report shows the vast earning
power that arises from substantial
control OF large industry. The great
tobacco combination, which center5
round the American Tobacco Compa-
ny, started in 1890 with $25,000,000
capitalization. operating only in cigar
cites. BY 1908 1t controlled about
four-fifths of the whole domestic to-
bacco industry. except cigars, and Its
net capitalization exceeded $316,O00,-
900. This concentration Is the basis
Of the combination's great earning
power. High rates of earnings have
industry. and the less the degree OF
control the less the rate.
In 1890 the combinations earnings
were over eighteen per cent. on the
actual investment. They rose in 1891
to more than twenty-one per cent
1t was then operating principally. and
with a practical monopoly, in cigar
cites. In 1895 came expansion into
other branches, a keen competitive
struggle, and a sharp drop in earnings.
But by 1900 the combinations broad
domination of the whole industry took
effective shape. Its earnings from
that date cover the great bulk of the
Industry. In 1901 they were thirteen
per cent. in 1903 over sixteen per
cent. and from 1904 to 1908 the aver
age was nineteen per cent. or $4,000,
900 yearly.
This was the earning power of sub
stantial monopoly, the result of the
concentration above stated.
