WASHINGTON. April 12.-The fol lowing report has just been submit. ted to the department of commerce and labor by Herbert Knox Smith commissioner of corporations:
 Dept. of Commerce and Labor
 Bureau of Corporations,
 Washington, April 8; 1912.
 Sir: The actual dissolution of two great corporate combinations. orderd by the supreme court in the Standard Oil Go. and American Tobacco O. cases, has thrust forward the whole problem of our industrial corporn- tions. If it was not plain before, it is certainly clear now that the fed eral government must have per manent administrative office through which to supervise interstate corpor- ate business.
 There is little dispute as to the ob- ject of our corporlte policy. We want a business machinery of high effi- ciency. serving the best interests of the citizen and returning ample re- ward to the ability and industry of those who use that machinery fairly. But the means to this end are now in debate
 Two great restraints may be im- posed upon business. One is the automatic regulator, competition: the other, direct governmental interven- tion. It is indeed true that under some conditions even fair competition may result in combination. The further question is then raised, How far is it desirable to enforce com petition by dissolving such com- bination. That question, however, need not be discussed here
 Whltever shall be our ultimate policy. however. whether of preserv- ing competition, of enforcing compe- tition. or of direct governmental re- gulation of business operations: or whether. as is perhaps more likely. our policy will be a combination Of these various principles, in any event such q permanent administrative sys- tenn is a necessary part of it. That system must have broad powers of investigation, taking continuous cog nizance of the operations of large in dustrial corporations. Such admin istration is necessary for either of the foregoing policies described. while it does not exclude the others By publicity and supervision it will pre- serve competition and provide equal opportunity: by an expert knowledge of current business conditions it will display the wording of competition, and the cases, if any. where this fails to be of benefit It will always he in a position to furnish. through its permanent force of trained spe- cialists. the information needed for legislation or regulation. It will also have the knowledge and data that may be required properly to enforce com petition and to carry out the intent of any decree of dissolution entered under the antitrust law.
 A convincing object lesson on the need of such administrative system is now before us. The Amerioan To-

bacco CO. and the Standard Oil Co having been disintegrated. the result ant units are now started on 6 new career. These disintegrations have been accomplished only after long litigation and at much expense The purpose was to benefit the public by tions. And yet the country has nc effective means of ascertaining how far the desired reform will really be carried out No one can foresee the future of these new units in the two great industries It will be purely an economic and financial process. Nc judicial machinery is adapted to handle this novel problem. Indeed the circuit court expressly refused the suggestion of the attorney gen. eral that the tobacco case be kept open for three or more years for such purpose Of supervision.
 Public interest requires that these two groups of companies and any others in like circumstances, should be at once obliged by law to sub- init to constant inspection by a fed eral office organized on lines similar to those suggested above. Tn these two cases, which are but current eX- amples Of a general principle, both public and private rights are involv- ed. The public has no means of fol-
 owing the development of compe- tition therein through succeeding years, nor have the security holders in those corporations-certain at least, those not "on the inside"-any means of judging the value of their holdings under the novel conditions TOW operative.
 In short. under present conditions, may Hereafter be followed. perman- ent administrative office will be ab- solutely necessary. The vast com plexity of corporate business and its constantly changing conditions make it wholly impossible to enforce effec- 5ively any real system of restraint trough the courts alone.
 The exact form of such an ad:iiH- istrative office is matter for further
 
 ;ials are permanence, expert training, administrative fiexibility, effective in- vestigation, and publicity, all cover ing those nterstate induserial cor porations whose size and operations make them of public importance.
 The bureau during the past fiscal year has been applying. within the narrow limits possible to it, the principles of publicity above referred to. The total appropriations for the bureau for the fiscal year 1911 were $254, 200. The number of employees on June 30, 1911, was 127.
 On September 26, 1910. the bureau published Part III of its Report on Transportation by Water in the United States. Parts I and II, all ready published, dealt with physical characteristics of waterways, floating and water borne traffic. Part TIT took up exhaustively the

brennan in the chair. House bill e was recommended for passage. It provides q penal section to an exist ing law regulating the hours of labor for hoisting engineers.
 House bill 69. providing that the governor and legislature may secure opinions of the supreme court was recommended for indefinite post ponement.
 House bill 42. requiring all locomo- tives to carry electric headlights was recommended for passage.
 House bill 43. limiting the number of cars in trains was the subject of long and frequent speeches The bill limited freight trains 10 fifty cars and passenger trains to twelve With amendments limiting freight trains to seventy cars, the present prevailing practice on the s. P. and passenger trains to If. except in case of ac- cident, and some minor amendments. the bill was recommended for passage.
 House bill A provides for the num- Der of men in train crews. It elicited much debate. The bill was amended to require three brakemen on trains of more than fifty cars. with a pilot on light engine. except in the case of helper engines. which do not run more than twenty-five miles on the main line Gasoline motors were also exempted The bill was then recommended for passage.
 The committee rose and it's report was accepted and acted upon as fol- lows:

subject Of water terminals, pointing { out the importance of the terminal ss a vital part of an effective water transportation system: the striking degree to which water terminals are now controlled by the railroads. the natural competitor of waterways; the lack of any consistent policy of water |, terminals; the disastrous effect of the present situation on water traf- flc; and the need for cooperation be- tween the federal government and localities in providing terminals. This | report has had a very gratifying ef- feet, both in influencing public opin- ion generally on the subject and in its use in specific controversies, where it has been referred to by var ious bodies. and also by the courts. as authoritative in setting forth cer- tain principles of transportation.
 On February l3. tp11, the bureau published a summary of Part I of its Report on the Lumber Industry This part dealt with the standing timber of the country. it's amount, distri- button. and ownership. The most inn portant facts shown in the report relate to the concentration of do-
 ninating control of our standing tim Der in comparatively few vast holdings. the enormous increase in the value of this resource and the unfortunate effect that our long standing public land policy hls had in producing such concentration.
 At the end of the fiscal year the bureau issued Part of it's Report on the Steel Industry This part dealt with the organization. investment. profits. and position of the largest corporation in the country. the Unit cd States Steel Corporation. It gave an elaborate analysis of the relation of assets to capitalization. and espe- cialIy criticised the corporation's tendency toward monopolistic control of ore. the basis of the industry, par ticularly as evidenced in the so-called Hill lease" It also criticised the induly high freight ratJs charged by the Steel Corporation for carrying ore over the corporations ore railroads Within a few months after the issu ance of the report. the corporation announced its intention to cancel the Hill lease. and also reduced by about 25 per cent the ore rates on it's northern ore railroads.
 The bureau is now allowed by law to publish only 2,5O0 copies of a given report in one fiscal year. This unfortunate restriction should be en- larged The present and increasing demand for these reports is so great that the bureaus supply is frequently exhausted in three or four months. and large numbers of requests must be denied Considering the import ance of the subject matter of these reports, the vast amount of work in- volved therein. and the urgency of the demand, the limitation of 2,500 copies is absurdly inadequate.
 Very respectfully,
 HERBERT KNOX SMITH.
 Commissioner of Corporations.

 Final Passage.
 House bin IS. authorizing the state and municipalities to engage in in dustrial pursuits. came up for final passage. It was given extensive discussion. Mir.

The bill provides for an amendment to the constitution and Mir. Saxon said the house was kicking his constitl- ton dog around again. Lewis de- tended the measure and hoped it would pass. Whipple favored it and Hall made a strong plea against it on the theory of bringing convict labor into competition with free la bor.

The bin finally passed by a vote of 24 to II as follows:
