Curb Trusts by Tax Advocates and Constitutional Revision
Francis Walker of the Bureau of Corporations told the Washington Chamber of Commerce that the only permanent solution to trusts lies in revising the Constitution to expand federal supervision and punishment of large combinations. He proposed limiting profits by tax on returns above a fixed net investment and urged thorough administrative oversight including audits of transportation and shipping firms to curb favoritism and rate abuses. Criminal legislation could also deter abuses, with local price cutting and exclusive contracts targeted.

Senate Expenditures Eye Costly Investigations
The Senate committee on public expenditures weighs retrenchment as it studies the cost of investigations. A lumber inquiry spirals into questions of staffing and $200,000 plus potential $1 million totals, while other probes into steel, tobacco, cotton, water powers, and corporate taxation are eyed for possible slashing. A proposed chicken census sparks laughs but hints at broader data-gathering aims, with a 40,053 price tag floated for hens and roasters.
