Zacharia T. Vincent of Huntington, w.

the coal. iron. steel, lumber and oil in
dustries, with power to authorize small
combinations and arrangements for SELL

a graduated tax on the capital stock of
corporations was suggested by w. S
Dwinell an attorney from MINNEAPOLIS.
Mr.. Dwinell said such tax, increasing
in proportion to the amount of capital,
would prevent monopoly and stimulate
competition among smaller concerns that
would not be hampered by the heavy tax.
The Senate committee pursued a course
of questioning which indicated a desire
to find out whether any of the men who
