important discrimination has been in the
arbitrary weights fixed by the railroa =

nation prevents the Kansas producer
from selling his crude oil. especially low

with the fuel oil produced BY the Stan

Crude oil is charged on the basis
of "a pounds per gallon: its ac-
tual weight is about 70 pounds.
Fuel oil produced by the refin-
cries is charged at ga pounds: it actual
ly weighs about 7.6 pounds A barrel
of crude oil shipped from Kansas to st.
Louis is charged nearly 10 cents more
than barrel of fuel oil; this difference
in freight chages is equal TO more than
one-third of the price Of low grade Kan
sas crude.
This discrimination has existed for
about four years. II does not exist in
any other field, The legislation Of Kan
