makes recommendation for additional
inspectors and physicians for ships
carrying immigrants and advocates
that American ships be allowed the
use OF the Panama canal free Of tolls.
Secretary Nagel commends the Blu
reau of Corporations for the work it
has done in the past year and in this
connection he gives his view in regard
TO the Sherman antitrust law and
needed legislation supplementary
thereto. Secretary NaSes views on
the latter subject are particularly in
teresting inasmuch as he is being con
sidered by President Taft for appoint
ment TO the Supreme Court. He says:
The decision OF the Supreme Court
OF the United States In the Standard
Oil and American Tobacco Co, cases
have brought forcibly to public atten-
ton the fact that there is an impera-
tive needed for positive administra-
tive regulation OF great industrial cor
porations.
The Sherman antitrust act has
been demonstrated TO be thoroughly
effective measure, but the mere break.

great business enterprises To control
properly such necessary combinations

federal office Of commission which
shall make this work its business.
whether this shall be done by
means of federal incorporation or by
a federal office or commission exercis-
ing powers OF supervision and regula.

The first consideration appears TO be
the establishment OF permanent ad-
ministrative publicity, supervision and
regulation. The time is peculiarly ripe
for such action. Public opinion and

aliens were rejected as belonging to
the excluded classes.
The report says that the bureau OF
manufacturers has had unprecedented
growth and its correspondence with
representative Of commerce and in
dustries has almost doubled in the last
year. He adds that the demand for a
closer relation between governmental
activity ard general commerce and in
dustry is becoming urgent.
Mr.. Nagels report in full deals with
tho years work N the many bureaus
and divisions over which he presides.
Secretary Nagel refers to recent cri.
ticism OF the immigration service He
says the bureau has endeavored TO
obey the general mandate Of the law
and relieve the individual of hardship
wherever the statute permits it.

The search continues for n cheap
paving material capable OF withstand

tear Of automobiles For the less
used highways several fairly salts
factory ways have been found TO hold
the broken stone in place, but In
places where traffic is constant and
fierce the problem is not so simple.
In the Bronx l8 different kinds of
pavement have been laid In the hope
of finding something both lasting and
cheap enough for ordinary roads.
Some were found worthless, while 9th
ers have been standing the test thus

bituminous binders used was made by
the United States office of public
roads, and levels were taken to ascer-
