OF the country that company has
been found to enjoy some unfair
advantages over its competitors
and some OF the determinations
effect enormous areas. Dlscrlm-
nation in the transportation of oil
embrace a variety OF forms some
OF the most important OF which
may be said to be:
Secret and semi-secrct rebates.
Discrimination in the open ar
rangcment OF rates. Discrimina-
ton in the treatment of private
tank cars.
1t is stated that the railroad
determinations discovered by the
Bureau OF Corporations melted
the Standard profit OF $75o,ooo
year on its freight business.
This was bad enough, but it was
only a drop in the bucket com
pared to the enormous advantages
that this discrimination enabled
the Standard TO exercise in
squeezing the last cent out OF the
consumers all over the country.
The report states that out of co.
100000 barrels Of oil refined an
nually in this country, the Stand
ard handles 23,ooo,Ooo. 1t will
thus be seen that there are only
few scattered localities, and these
as rule close to the crude oil
centres and with a market in easy
reach, that are what might be
called competitive areas" They
are very limited in extent. In all
the other great territories, compe-
tition has been killed by the ruth
less system of underselling, spy
ing and railroad discrimination on
which the Standard has been built
up and which its vast wealth enab-
les it to practice. In the non
competitive areas the price of oil
is from three to five cents higher
than in the competitive areas.
Since the fair profit on a gallon Of
refined oil is half a cent, it is easy
to see the vast revenue that the
company has been able to exact
from the public. u
The method of discrimination
enumerated above are not the
only ones that the report charges

The REASONING Power OF a Don

Mr., George p. Cline, editor Of
The True Republican, Hudson,
Wisconsin, sends us the following
account of his dog-an Irish poin-
ter.
"When he was introduced into
our home he soon singled out the
mistress, and when his dinner was
delayed he would take his dish to
her. and hold it out to be filled
He soon became regular custo-
ner at our meat market, taking
the money in an envelope and
bringing back the meat, without
any attempt to open the package.
If we gave him an envelope with
no money il it hcawouldJ drop it
instantly. .,,ra74.,. .
Every day when about to leave
the office he would bring my hat
and rubbers, and one day when I
wehtrout without them, he imme-
diately ran and, Brought them to
me. He had never been taught
to do any Of these things, but did
them from his own tuition. "--Ex.

1,.NATlONAL AFFAIRS

Speaking OF the psychological
moment, the report OF the Bureau
Of Corporations on the Standard
oil Company and the message of
the lt9nesidentr transmitting the
5sanreto Congress. came at such a
n1o4Htnt il anything ever did.
just at the moment when the two
sides. are lining up for vote on
that rate bill and when that meas
ure is fighting ior its integrity if
not for its very life, the report on
Standard Oil is a vcritable bomb
in the hands of the administra-
ton 1.-THE report has been the
sens alton of the week III Wasting

has made, tbe,reputationnofd LIE

oo5iBsside the cold, : official state
ment t0fa the report the. rmQst in
sistent clamor OF the papers and
Of the magazines seems tame.
For this is official while the other
is an unofficial arraignment. Ac-
companying the report is the mes
sage of the President saying that
the report alone would prove that
the passage of an effective rate
bill is an absolute necessity. But
the President goes further. He
recommends the passage of the
free alcohol bill for the same rea-
son and the retention of the gov
eminent title to coal and oil lands
in the public domain, the latter
measure being as all opponents
of the administration will be sure
to claim, long step in the direc-
ton OF socialism. But the re-
port of the Bureau OF Corpora
tons is there to show that the re-
commentator is a much needed
one. ID.
The report on the Standard Oil
Company is a lengthy document,
but the Commissioner OF Corpor-
ations sums up his conclusions ra-
ther briefly They are somewhat
as follows: ..
rafflhe investigation has disclosed
the existence of numerous flag
rant determinations on the part of
the railroads in favor Of the, Stan
dard, Oil Company, With com
para lively few exceptions, such as
the large oil concerns in Califor-
MIA, the Standard has been the
sole beneficiary of such discrimi-
nations. In almost every section

Representatives OF the Niagara
County Irrigation and Water
supply Company explained to the.
House Rivers and lIarbors Com
Elttce recently how Niagara Falls
may still retain its beauty and
grandeur and at the same time
dc harncsscd to sufficient electric
generators to revolutionizc the in
dustrial output OF northwestern
New York.
J. II. Henson asserted that
FEDERAL jurisdiction over naviga-
bic streams was given by the Con-
stitution only for the prpose OF
preserving their navigability. The
Burton bill had for its object the
avowed sentimental purposes OF
preserving Niagara Falls, and in
his opinion would not be upheld
by the courts.
II. L. Cooper, in charge OF the
engineering features OF the new
plant, presented a plan which he
said could be easily accomplished,
and which would not only pre-
serve but increase the amount of
water going over the American
side of the Falls, and would also
permit the use OF such water as
his company would need in carry
ing out its plans. This plan was
to lower the bed OF the river for
short space some distance above
the Falls. This would draw water
from the Canadian side.
Engineer NJ. A. Wei said that
with 1000 cubic feet of water per
second, 10000 horsepower could
be developed. Industries which
would depend on this power would
furnish employment to 22S,ooo
men, and give this section Of the
State an added population of l.
10000 people and pield in gross
annual product S5I4,ooo,ooo.
i 1t was asserted, that Canada,
would not allow sentiment to in
terfere with use OF the water from
the river. o. ..r I'd.

would otherwise have over it, and

liar methods i'll getting at its one
OBJ feet, an unfair advantage over

In this connection the President
says that the danger OF govern
mental control sitting individual
initiative is as nothing to the stiff
ing that individual initiative re-
ceives fro mthe giant corporations
which use their wealth and power
to kill all competition. -. In his
message accompanying the re-
port, he says:
The argument is sometimes
advanced against comforting on
some governmental body the
lower OF supervision and contr"
over Interstate commerce that to
do so tends to weaken individual
initiative. Investigations such as
this concisely disprove any such
allegation. On the other hand,
the proper play ior individual ini-
tlativ" can only be found in such
government supervision as will
curb those monopolics that crush
out all individual initiative. The
railroad itself without such gov
eminent aid, cannot protect the
interest OF It's own stockholders
as against one OF these great cor
porations, loosely known as
trusts

able to protect themselves against
the unlawful demands OF such
monopolies a sthc Standard He
says i'll concluding his message:
"Though not bearing upon the
| question OF railroad rates, there
are two measures, the considera-
ton OF which is imperativcly sug-
| gested by the submission OF this
report. The Standard Oil Com
pany has largely by unfair and
unlawful methods crushed out
home competition. 1t is highly
desirable that an element OF com
petition should be introduced by
the passage of some such law as
that which has already passed the
House, putting alcohol, for use
III the arts and manufactures, on
the free list. Further more the
time has come when no more coal
or oil lands held by the govern
ment either upon the public do
main or on the land owned by the
Indian tribes should be alienatcd.
The fee to such lands should be
kept in the United States govern
ment, whether or not the profits
arising from it are to be given to
any Indian tribe and the lands
should be leased only on such
terms and for such periods as will
enable the government to keep
entire control thereof
