Report of Commissioner Smith on the iniquities of the Standard Oil Co.
ITS CONTROL OF PIPE LIUE3
That la tie Fact to Which It 0we3 It3 Dominance.
THE LAKE COUNTY TILIES.
Charge for Transportation Is Krces. r fcive, and Gives the .Independents No Chance In the Markets. ' "
, Washington, May 20. Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, has made a report regarding the petroleum industry in -which after stating that certain parts of the information he has gathered are withheld because their publication might interfere ."with the proper prosecution of a suit against the Standard Oil company
pending at St. Louis, he says that the Standard Oil company, -with its affili
ated concerns, is practically the whole
fit the petroleum industry in the Unit
td States. His conclusions are as fol
lows:
i Standard's Enormous Advantage
j 'These facts show, therefore, the
enormous advantage -which the Stand
ard Oil company possesses over com
petlng refiners by reason of Its control of the pipe lines in the mid-continent,
fiiunois, Lima-Indiana, and Apnalacjii
jan fields. Whether the Standard pipe
Jines charge to the Standard refineries
nnesiQ same exorbitant rates for trans portatlon is obviously a matter of In
idifference to the Standard organization
s a whole. To the independent con
cern which might if not otherwise re
tricted.make use of the Standard pipe line3, the excessive charges mean that
He Is at a tremendous disadvantage as
(compared with it's great competitor.
Pipe Line Charges Are Excessive.
"it has been tthown that the Stand
!nrd charge for transportation from the
iAppaiachian field to the seaboard In
,more than 25 cents per barrel higher
jtnan the cost of transportation plus 10 per cent, on the cost of reproducing
jtne pipe lines, ihis i3 more than half a cent a srallon. and half n cent n o-nl.
Ion Svill bring a profit of about 10 per
cent, on tne necessary investment in
the reilnlng business. The Indenend
ent refiner whose pant is situated in
tne oil regions is at an equal disadvan
tige in reaching a large proportion of
tug markets of the country; he must
pay the rail freight rates on his re-
imed product, while the Standard
.'brings Its crude oil to refineries near
.to the centers of consumption at a cost
nut a small fraction of the rail rate
than 80 per cent, of the country' total output of IWuminating oil; maintained a similar proportion of the expsrt trade In illuminatingoil, and transported through pipe lines nearly ninetentlis of the crude oil of tie older fields and OS per cent, of the crude oil of the mid-continent field." After the railroad rebate was abandoned, the company, the report says, was able to "establish a system of secret, or open, discriminations of rate3 In its favor throughout practically the entire country. Having established its monopoly of the pine-line business, the
company sulwtantlally refuses to act as a common carrier." It Is shown that the Standard controls not only the wholesale, but also the retail trade in oil.

FORAKER HEARD FROM
His Reply to Chairman Brown, of Ohio, Is Both Prompt and
charp.
COSTVESFTION WHAT HE WANTS
TO HEAD OFF A SCHEME
So It la Alleged, Mayor Busse Called for the Resignations of Twelve School Trustees. Chicago, May 20 Mayor P.usse ban stirred up a great deal of discussion by his recent action of asking for the resignation of twelve members of the
school board who had been appointed
by the previous Democratic mavor.
Judge Dunne. The reason most com
monly accepted in the absence of a
statement from the mayor himself In
that the mayor wished to make cer
tain the retention of E. G. Coolev. su-
perintendeut of schools.
Cooley is the highest salaried man in
the country in a similar position, nnd
the board appointed by Mayor Dunne
included many trustees aliened to ho
antagonistic to the present superintendent. Their terms of olhce evnlre
In a few weeks, just before which time
it is customary to hold the election for superintendent. It was rumored
that they had determined to hold the
election earlier so as ,to elect another
man In place of CooleV. Eusse heard
of this and acted at once.
Says Brown's Statement Shows "Eank and Offensive Bossism."
Party Machinery Belongs to No One, "ot Even the State Chairman Who Is "Difflcut to Answer Politely."
INDEPENDENT LINE INADEQUATE
Standard's Domination Has Its Roots
In Transportation.
"Even those refiners who make use
of the trunk pipe line of the Pure Oil company .from the Appalachian field
to the seaboard are at a very consider
ble disadvantage, since this line Is so
email that its expenses per unit of
product handled are considerably high
iier than those of the Standard.
"The Standard's abuse of its pipe
line monopoly is thus one of the great
est sources of its power. If the Stand
rd pipe lines were obliged to trans
port oil for others at a reasonable
charge the opportunities for romneti
tion in the refining business would be enormously increased. The failure of
independent concerns to establish similarity efficient pipe lines has not been
tale to lack of enterprise or canital
lias been due in part to the unfair
practices of the Standard in direetir
attacking independent nine-lino under
takings, and in part to the other un-
.iair practices by which the stnn,inr,i
has attacked the Independent refiners
in tne marketing of their product and
i;ence nas prevented them frDm seenr,
Jug a sufficient volume of business t
warrant the construction of great pipe-
i:ne systems.
'It is apparent, therefore, that the dominating position of the Standard
Oil company in the oil industry has largely been secured by the abuse of
transportation- facilities, first, by
grant discriminations obtained from railroads; second, by a refusal to op
erate Its pipe-line system so as to pv
tend to Independent interests the benfits to which they were both mora 11 v
nnr legally entitled, while at the same
Time the Standard has prevented sneh
Independent interests from constructing lines of their own. Other unfair jpractices which have contributed to the jpowcr of the company will be dis
cussed in subsequent parts of this re tort, hereafter to be published."

Washington, May 20. Senator Foraker has issued a spirited rejoinder to the statement made public made at
coiurabus, O., by Chairman Brown, of the IJepublican state central committee, embodying his views and those of Governor Harris and other state officials respecting Ohio's choice of a candidate for the presidency. Following is the text of Senator Foraker's statement: Still Stands for a Convention. "The state officers have a right to their preferences and to declare it when they like, but such declarations do not dispense with the necessity for a convention, nor change my opinion that the voters should be "given a chance to be heard before final action has been taken. If the Republicans of Ohio are all, or 'overwhelmingly,' or even by a bare majority, in favor of

"Rank and Offensive ISossisni." "So far as the control of the state organization is concerned I have never made any claim to that. I have always supposed that organizations were
mere party machinery, and not the
personal property of any one not even the chairman of the state central committee. As to the rest of Mr. Brown's statement it is difficult to make a polite answer. For rank, dictatorial and offensive bossism it far exceeds anything I can recall. it amounts to a threat that unless I straightway declare for Mr. Taft T shall lose the senatorship. That may be, but if so the fact has no terrors for me. It Was Meant for Mr. Brown. "I said at Canton that I would not be dictated to by any kind of a boss, big or little, inside or outside the state. I meant that announcement for just such bosses as Mr. Brown nmi fnr
just such performances as he is now giving us. To be specific I emphatically resent his dictation and give him notice that my choice for the presidency will be named by the next Ohio Republican convention that Is lawfully

I Incidentally the Speaker Indulges in

Cannon was here, the guest of the magazine publishers at their annual banquet, and while he was here he took occasion to say a few words about politics. He paid several compliments to Governor Hughes and hi3 IKlicies, and was asked: "But can the governor win with a machine against him?" "There are machines and machine.
I find that usually the machine gets behind the man who has the 90 per cent, of his party behind him." Being asked if he considered New York
essential to the election of the next president, he said: "I have heard persons say New York was not essential. My own opinion in that New York- u
the most important state in the scheme'
of the election of the next president. What can be thought of a man who, in face of the fact that New York has thirty-nine votes in the electoral college, would deliberately leave it out of his calculations regarding a Repubican president in 3008?" "Speaking of presidential candidates." said Speaker Cannon, "a man is one if he towers above his fellowa and if he has friends and neighbors who stand up for him." Continuing, Cannon said when asked how Coventor Hughes stood in Washington as a presidential possibility: "This early candidate talk reminds one of tbe sooner dogs we used to have out in the Wabash country. When going out to hunt coon the sooner dogs always barked before they struck the trait."
