against O. K. Shannon aecratary of
Siate. wherein the plaintiff la aeektng to
recover S1K' pakl aa franchlae tax and
to lme the law declared unconstitutional.
Taxes runnlnc up Into lar tlfure de-
pend upon the decision of tlia court
The law provided that every private
foreign corp. ration deairtna; to do busi-
ness In the 8tate""-t Texaa should pay a
franchise tax to b computed on Its capi-
tal stock it was further provided that a
tailnre to pav the tax by a fixed data
world s'jbjpct the corporation to a fine
of -'." per cent of the tax due.
Oarr. Scott '... an Indiana corpora-
tion dolns liimlness in Texaa. paid the
lax In li under protest and then brought
suit to l:ae the law declared unconsti-
tutional and to recover back the 1575
paid as taxes.
The company claimed that In 1901 it ob-
tained pcmiijslon of the State to do busi-
ness there for a period of ten years and
paid n!l tVe fees due. Consequently it
whs arjrued hy the company the fran-
chise tax provided for in the law of IMi
would "lmoalr the obligation of the con-
tract'' It held with the StHte to do busi-
ness therein. Furthermore It was con-
tended that the law Interfered Improperly

The supreme ccurt of Texas took the
jHtsicion that when the corporation came
Into the State In 101 the State retained
tl e power to amend or modify the condi-
tions under which It did business In the
Ptate. and that It had long ago been aet-
tled that a State could lmpoee a fran-
hlse tax on foreign corporations deslr-
Ir.g to do business within Its borders.
Both these points came up for con-
sidcratlon by the supreme court of the
1'nlted States today Still another ques-
tion for tiie court wws whether s corpo-
ration could recover back taxes paid un-
der nrotest where the taxes were im-
posed by an unconstitutional law.

"I don't care what anybody savs'" re-
marked Chairman Henry todav when the
controversy over issues was brought to
his attention. "The Judiciary committee
of the house will recommend antl-truBt

press for action on it unless a caucus of
the party directs differently. If neces-
sary the committee will go on the lioeir

There will be no Federal incorporation

to pass legislation to strengthen the Sher-

Concluded That Federal Control of
Itsuano af Securities Would
Superimpose Federal Law
Upon State law.
(.Uiaciatei Press ."??; t )
WASHINGTON. December U -The
railroad scrHlea commission h.aded by
President Arthur T. Ha.lley of Vale has
reportad that It would be practically im-
possible at this time to rUce Issues of
railroad securities under Federal con-
trol. The cooiralaeion recommends that
enforced publicity for all railroad financing-Is
tha moat effective weapon agalnai
stock watering which the government haa
at Its command.
A dlatlnrulahed group of Invest. gators
waa named by President Taft to co-operate
with Prof. Hadley They were
Frederick X. Judson of St Louis. Fred-
erick Straus of New Tork. v. alter U
Flaher secretary of the Interior and B.
H. Meyer a member of the interstate
commerce commission
The commission was created n iit.
when the senate refused to accept a
house amendment to the pending railroad
bill providing" that all future issues of
storks and railroad securlOe- he placed
under the control of the interstate com-
merce commission. Mnny of C ' senate
democrats -tlpposed It as an invasion ot
States' rtghts. President Taf at the
time told republican leaders the party
was committed to such a measure but
when It sppeared Impossible lo pass it
the president agreed t. have tie clause
eliminated with the understating that
a commission to study the subji -;t would
be showed. This was done ari.l the com-
mission began work in the autumn or
110. inibllc hearings were held and
Chairman Hadley studied tie problem
abroad.
Adverse to Bill.
The commission's report h
adverse to the legislation proj
railroad bill.
distinctly
cd in the
President Taft In transnnttin
mint me re-
laied that he
port to congress today ueci
hea
eartlly concurred in the recommenda
tions.
The commission's principal conclusions
are: . .
That any attempt by congress to adopt
the policy of Federal regulation to the
exclusion of State regulation would ha
premature.
That for the present State authorities
should maker a concerted effort to har-
monlxe existing requirements.
That congress should prepare for the
future by giving consideration to a Fed-
eral Incorporation act which would per-
mit Interstate railroads to exchange their
State charters for National ones
The commission takes the ground that
constitutional questions involving the
scope and extent of Federal authority are
unsettled and will remain so for some
time and that while such condition ex-
ists to superimpose Federal regulation
upon State regulation would add to the
conflicts and complexities which in the
f labile Interest should rather be dlmln-
shed' than Increased
"Unless the constitutional power of
congress to regulate securities of Inter-
slate railroads is definitely established as
being exclualve of State control either
the Federal government and the States
will come to a general understanding as
to the princlplee to be adopted in the
control of security Issues or the rail-
road systems will be given the oppor-
tunity to exchange their State charters
for Federal ones says the report.
"Until such exclusive Jurisdiction can
be established Uie creation of a separate
administrative body subjecting the rail-
roads to a new system of concurrent su-
pervision. In addition to the many old
ones which now exist does not seem Just
expedient or economical."
For the present the commission recom-
mends that complete publicity lie required
to surround all issues of securities and
thai any Interstate railroad Issuing stocks
and bonds be required to furnish to the
interstate commerce commission a full
statement of the details of the Issue the
purposes for which the proceeds are to be
used and an accounting for the expendi-
tures of such proceeds.
Publicity Favored.
"Accurate knowledge of the facts sur-
rounding the Issue of securities and the
expenditure of the proceeds is the mat-
ter of most Importance." the commission
says. "It Is the one thing upon which
the Federal government can effectively
insist todny; It Is the fundamental thing
which must serve as a basis for what-
ever regulation may be desirable In the
future.
If full publicity be given we shall also
lessen the fradulent creation of debt. It
Is the degree of publicity rather than the
stnnKtncy of the cvv which gives to the
people anv real protection. A stringent
law inadeqontelv enforced and secretly
evaded is the worst thing that can be
possibly offered to the public because It
elves color to claims which have no
Foundation and fact "
In determining the physical value of
railroads in relation to their securities
now outstanding the commission puts
aside as entirely out of the question any
attempt to scale down outstanding se-
curities on the ground that e-onstiuuional
difficulties public expediency and confi-
dence In American railroad investments
would forbid it.
Relations Complex.
The commission feels that railroad de-
velopment has gone so far and such a vol-
ume of secmitlcs has already been Is-
sued that the only questions of real
Importance are whether It is desirable
for the Federal government to regulate
the issue of future securities and if so
to what ertent and In what manner. The
complex relations hitween securities al-
ready outstanding has made It Impossible
to treat the question of future regulation
as It might lave been treated is those
securities were r.ot already In existence.
In cases where It Is found that the Is-
sued securities exceed the physical valu-
ation the oomnibMon Is not In favor of
forbidding further Issue untijjhe defi-
clencv Is trade up. because life principle
If generally applied might prevent rail-
roads from securing capital necessary for
the serric e of a community.
By empowering the Interstate com-
merce commission to enforce publicity
and to make physical valuations the '
commission believes there w-lll be no ne-
cessity for a law to requlri approval In
advance for Issues of securities. Ad-
vance authorization the commission
holds would lend to create on the part
of the Investing public an impression of
a guarantv or official recognition of val-
ues no administrative authority could
safely give.
Regarding Stock Purchased.
The commissioners do not believe that
the cost of reproducing railroad proper-
ties however carefully computed is the
sole element to he considered in deter-
mining the present value of a railroad
or that the outstanding securities should
be made to .conform to any arbitrary
standard.
The commission believes that the
amount and face value of outstanding
securities has only an Indirect effect upon
the actuul making of rates and that It
should have little If any weight In their
regulation.
The commission does not approve of
any unqualified proo!tlon to prohibit
ownership of stcs-k of one road by Vin-
other. To do so. th.- report says would
involve tci mm Ii disturbance of existing
relations v.hatever may be the evils at-
tendant upon such holdings. It Is recom-
mended however tliat wherever a group
of men or companies has bought a ma-
jority of stoc k In a road they may be
properly required to buy the minority at
the same price.
