THE GREATEST CORPORATION.

HE OfEAI ES CO1FOFthI ION.
The address delivered by Joseph f..
Davies federal commissioner Of cor
porations, before the national conven-
ton of hardware dealers at Atlantic
City has been very favorably received
throughout the country.
Mr.. Davies takes the ground that the
greatest Of all corporations was that
organized away back III l776 by the
men who signed the Declaration Of
Independence; and holds that II great
government which overthrow king
craft need not and must not itself be
overthrOwn by trust craft, that our
representative system will not fail in
so regulating corporations that they
will serve the public welfare as well rs
private interests
In signed editorial article in his
magazine for November g. Senator La
Toilette thus strongly commends Com
taking the important task now set be
fore him, that of tacklinR the trust
question:
A FAR REACHING PLAN.
If Commissioner Joseph f.. Davies il
empowered to carry out the plan out
lined in his speech at AtlanClc CITY
few days ago, the Bureau of Corpora
tons will enter upon one OF the most
important pieces Of work ever under
taken by any branch Of our government.
Mr.. Davies contemplates IN invcstiga
ton Of trusts and combinations which
shall determine first, whether the con
centration of industry in the hands Of
results corporations has had economical
few and second, whether the public
has been benefited by results
Since its creation eleven years ago,
this branch of the Department OF Com
merce has made separate Investigations
of very great value, including the beef.
tobacco, lumber, steel standard oil,
water power, harvester, and other
trusts These Investigations have furn-
ished the public authoritative facts re
garding each specific industry, but up
to this time the government has not at
tempted to correlate the facts in rela
ton to the whole big problem of indus
trial monopoly. This, Commissioners
Davies proposes to do, and to extend
the investigation to cover the whole
field of industrial combination,
Ii undertaken in scientific spirit
and carried forward with the assistance
of tho nations ablest and best trained
economists and Investigators, this work
will be of immense value to Congress
in dealing in radical and effective
way with the next big problem to be
dealt with, before the country can be
come industrially free.
Such an investigation should deter.
mine the value of these great properties
We should know the actual amounts
that have been invested and to what
extent we suffer from extortionate
prices because of over capitalization.
The people are willing to pay fair re
turn upon legitimate values, But they
should no longer be compelled to pay
tribute on fictitious wealth and inflated
values
In outlining this far reaching work
Mr.. Davies has shown II breadth of
view and comprehension of the posi-
bilities of his bureau that will receive
general public commendntion.
