day began the hearing of the argu
ments in the case of the independent
oil dealers of the state versus the
railways doing business in the state
The Independent oil dealers allegt
that the rate on oil products in less
than carload lots is excessive.
Although the name of the Standard
Oil company is not mentioned in the
formal complaint. the 6ght is prac
tlcally against that company. Under
the present classification Of oil prod
ucts as freight, tine STANDARD Oil is
the only company doing business in
the state that is in a position to take
advantage of the carload rate, which
is so per cent less tnan the rate on
carload lots to local points within the
state
The independents on their small
shipments are compelled 70 pay third
class rates, whereas the STANDARD
can take advantage of the first class
rates. The independents ask the
commission to reduce the rate on
shipments in less than carload lots
from taird to fourth class 1t is urg
ed that II this Is done thousands OF
dollars will be saved the consumers
of the state, as the price of oil will
be materially reduced II is claimed
that the Standard does not base the
selling price OF Its products upon the
cost of production plus the cost OF
transportation, but upon the inability
of the local dealers to take advantage
OF the lower freight rates.
