Hearings before the Committee on Interstate Commerce
Part four of Hearings before the committee on interstate commerce starts part way through a hearing in which Mr. Martin answers questions from the senators regarding the dissolution of trusts and the consequences to stockholders. A statement of Andrew Jaritz begins on page 174 in which Jaritz presents his ideas and conclusions on the permanent and progressive habits of economic legislation and the need for economic principles. Jaritz suggests the government frame trusts within the context of the economy and work for the people to set reasonable prices and prevent waste by the producers and the consumers. The government could then profit from the savings and continue regulating and enforcing economic legislation by forming a new department of economic policy.

Report from Charles E. Magoon to William H. Taft
Military Governor Magoon forwards a letter to Secretary of War Taft regarding the issue of Cuban veterans’ claims for work performed before and during the Spanish-American war. Magoon examines Cuba’s constitution and whether or not article II lays sufficient claim to compensation for the soldiers. Analysis leads Americans to believe that Cuba was created as a result of war between the United States and Spain, which impacts the validity of their claims. Magoon provides a brief summary of the Spanish-American role with Cuba’s involvement in the process. The government of Cuba, under these circumstances, is not required to fulfill the requests of the Cuban forces. Magoon does not believe America has the right to force the Cuban government to pay these claims.
