yet we are not alone In this method
OF transportation. Some OF our compeu-
tors do the same thing and deliver oil at
the points in New England that we do by
NEW HAVEN PRoRATEs.
Mr.. Garfield claims that the refusal to
prorate on the part OF the New England
railroads has given the Standard Oil com
pany practical control of New England
territory and enabled IL TO maintain ex-
orbitant prices for kerosene. Yet. while
II is admitted that the New Haven road
has recently begun TO prorate. this al
legged condition OF control has not changed
In any way, nor have the prices OF kero-
sene been affected.
THE New England roads believe they
can make more money by refusal 10 pro-
rate. and II in doing so they are violating
the proprieties clearly they and not the
Standard Oil company should be made
the object of attack.
'"The commissioner is peculiarly unfor-
tunate on the subject of rebates. The
public may well take his word that he
made an exhaustive examination, and yet
withal he says that with one or two ex-
ceptions the Investigations of the bureau
have as yet discovered no rebates in the
technical sense OF Interstate business.
'"These exceptions were on business
done wholly within the state OF California.

involved no turpitude whatever. IL was

fore IL had been systematized there were
overcharges not 10 the Standard OIL COM
pany alone. but to everyone enraged i'm

subsequently adjusted.
ANSWER TO PRESIDENT.
THE presidents message complains OF
the way In which the law IS evaded by
treating as state commerce what is i'm
reality merely a part of interstate com
merce-although the forms OF law may be
compiled with Yet this very method OF
making through rate by a combination
OF two separate state rates has been held
TO he by the interstate commerce COM
nLssion lawful and proper.
THE statement that the Standard oil
company has largely. by unfair and un-
lawful methods crushed out home COM
petition is fully answered by the fact
that home competition has always exist
ed, Is steadily growing and that there
are now at least 125 competitive reiner-
les In the United States
The GRIEF which the president ex-
presses I'm his message over the inability
OF the railroads TO combine and protect
themselves from the shippers will proba-
bly, arouse amusement.
The president says. respecting this In
vestigation, that the facts are not in dis
pute; only the inferences are disputed.
The Standard oil company furnished the
facts and a man with a muck rake dug
out such as under his manipulation he felt
would prove damaging
The Standard OIL company has been
Investigated over and over again at the
instigation OF its rivals. and IL always
welcomes such investigation when con.

EXPERTS REPORT.

on into the turnovers. In this year the
Sheriff was charged with 1891. 81 less
than the contents OF the roll.
We found IN the following years the
same difficulty. There seemed to be no
accuracy in footing the rolls. Charges
were made to correspond with the
erroneous footing and entered so upon
the Ledger OF the County Clerk. These
Irregularities range 10 extent from $500.
to $14OO.
Important errors occurring IN the
collections made on roll for 1900 are the
COMMISSIONS OF the turnovers of the
amounts received upon Receipts No.
14l7 and No. 14lS and slight errors in
entering Receipts No. 5S3 and No. 1925
iuto the Register. These constitute
shortage of little over $44.
An error Of $500 is the only irregu.
larity oct urrng in the year 1901.
Collections on the roll of 1902 and
turnovers of the same were all regular
except the foloSing-S77.66 collected
by the Asse .sor not turned over to the
Treasurer. Errors in footing roll So 03,
short, and errors in entering receipts in
to Register $l.l9 short.
On roll of 1903 we find an item of
1878 not receipted for nor turned over
to Treasurer. Checks herewith show
this amount has been duly collected,
(see Rec. No. 2249 and letter.
On roll of 1904 we find collections
aggregating $1O5 81 collected and not
turned over (pages 3S 81 81 10Y 1874.
In turnover OF April 8, 1905 we tinn a
shortage of 5000. And in March 9th,
1905 shortage of SO So. Total shortage
this year aggregating $3l5.49.
We did not attempt to balance the
roll OF 1905 inasmuch as but part of it
had been collected. But we carefully
checked over the Receipts. comparing
them with be entries in the Roll and
Register and found as follows:
Error in footing Register. ........$ SO

their financial condition. They kept no
Journal or Ledger or other account
book aside from the Register of Re-
ceipts. From time to time they receiv-
ed the tax roll from the Clerk and re
ceipted for the same without knowing
it's contents. Thev kept no record OF
charges made against them or credit
due them. In short that Office has been
entirely in the dark, having no means
by which to guide them, or check to
protect them from error.
In the absence OF any system of &C
counting or checking up. frequent errors
would naturally result. The officers
are to be commended upon the results
obtained, considering that they were
exposed to every snare and pitfall that
lurk about and sgRravste unkept
accounts. But there is vet another
phase of the situation We feel should
have space in these comments, that OF
entries made upon the rolls when taxes
are paid. 1t was frequent occurance
to find where tax had been paid, the
amount credited falling little short OF
the assessment. This affects the title
of lands to the extent of the deficient
tax. the tax payer wants to know
when he pays bis assessments that they
are credited in full. There are likewise
small excess credits placed to assess
menis which render no one harm, but
show a tendency toward slackness.
