Of. the washington and Southern Bank.
entitled The Relation Of Banking Re-
form to Corporate Financing" This pa
Der deals with Q most important subject.
and In Of special interest to investors.
giving an explanation Of the success In
Industrial lines by fereign countries
notably England and Germany-and In
dicating why we. a. q nation. are lack.
ing In '.industrial'' openings for public
Col TAFT treats his subject with fclear-
ness, and indicates the means By which
England and Germany have built up
their enormous industrial business
through the use and enforcement OF
practical corporation laws.
For example, his description Of the
Companies Acts" Of Great Britain con-
tains points that might well be followed
in this country. to the advantage Of In
vestors. On this point Col. TAFT says:
'"The fundamental improvements under
tho Companies Acts may be boiled down
to very small number Of basic condi-
tions: First. every new corporation In
applying to the public for capital shall
issue q prospectus which shall be ap-
proved and signed by all the directors.
This prospectus Is primarily the circular
scriptions to the capital stock. and II Ii
. very important document. It embod-
les all the main conditions Of the MEM
orandum Of association which may be
regarded az the charter Of the company.
and In the event that any property II
transferred to the new corporation As
''going concern II contains a reliable
auditors report showing the net earnings

experts. These reports must be made
byprofessional men of undoubted stand
ing, and the directors are legally re-
sponsible for their character and EN-
cheney.
Second: The promoter is the fduciary
representative Of the company he Pro-
notes. q very far-reaching condition.
which among other things prevents him
from making any profits not disclosed IN
the prospectus. and compels him. under
heavy penalty. to furnish and particu-
larize all material facts which the
stockholders ought to know"
The passage of similar laws IN this
country might prove Of equal value. and
II II was not desirable to commit the
entire country to this policy At first. It
would. at least. be feasible to have one
Of the States. or better still the District
OF CoiumDia take II UP 10 stdrt Win.
Such action would doubtless lead to
tremendous activity in industrial invest
ment on the part OF the general public,
and other States would not be slow in
seizing the advantage Of the protection
given by such laws, and employing the
same remedy.
