Washington dispatch reports President elect Taft shaping a plan to reorganize enforcement of federal corporate regulation. The proposal would shrink the Interstate Commerce Commission’s investigating power, empower the Bureau of Corporations in the Commerce Department, and create a Justice Department bureau to prepare and file cases for ICC action.
