Albert H. Walker thinks that Theodore Roosevelt’s suggestion in a recent Outlook article to regulate corporations through an administrative commission would result in actions more favorable to corporations than to the public, simply because the commission would be based on information provided by the corporations themselves. Until he gets more information, Walker believes that the Sherman Act is still the best way to resist the trusts.
