President Taft's annual message proposes federal charters for big corporations to bring them into lawful operation under federal control. The plan would not change the Sherman Act now, but would require clear capital structures and regular reports while allowing voluntary charters to avoid broad investigations. It also outlines interstate commerce reforms including a new US Court of Commerce and tighter rate oversight by a federal commission.
