clearly unlawful. This benefit
amounts TO at least three-quarters of
a million year This three-quarters
OF a million represents the profit that
the Standard Oil Company obtains
at the expense of the railroads; ;but
of course the ultimate results Is that
1t obtains a much larger profit at the
expense of the public. A very str1k-
ing result Of the investigation has
been that shortly after the discovery
of these secret rates by the Comna1S
sioner of Corporations. the major por-
ton Of them were promptly corrected
by the railroads, so that most OF them
have now been done away with. This
immediate correction, partial or COM
plete. of the evil of the secret rates
is Of course on the one hand an ac-
knowledSement that they were wrong
and yet were persevered in until eN-
posed: and on the other hand a
proof of the efficiency of the work
that has been done by the Bureau Of
Corporations The Department Of Jus
tee will take up the question Of in
shutting prosecutions in at least GER

slrable to enact into law the bill in

Government have been greatly
strengthened in securing an effective
remedy by the recent decision of the
Supreme Court in the case instituted
by the Government against the to-
bacco trust, which decision permits
the Government to examine the
books and records of any corporation
