Message on Trusts Proposes Federal Incorporation Reform
President Taft urges supplemental legislation rather than repeal to regulate large combinations. He highlights supreme court antitrust decisions on Standard Oil and the tobacco trust, endorses a federal charter system to unify interstate commerce under federal supervision, and calls for a bureau to aid courts in dissolving trusts and planning legitimate reorganizations. He warns against risking economic confidence and urges careful, constructive changes.
