N ABSOLUTE MONO PoLISTIC CONTROL.

But in addition TO these secret
rates rne Standard Oil profits i'm
mensely by open rates, which are
SO arranged as 10 give it an over
whelming advantage over its indie
pendent competitors. The refusal
of the railroads in certain cases to
Fforate produces analogous effects
1hus in New England the refusal
of certain railway systems TO pro-
rate has resulted in keeping the
Standard Oil in absolute monopolis-
&c control of the field, enabling it
TO charge from 100000 TO $780,
GO year more to the consumers
IF oil in New England than they
would have had TO pay had the
price paid been that obtaining in
t.Ie competitive fields.
This is characteristic example
OF the numerous evils which are in
Z stable under a system in which
the big shipper and the railroad
ere left free TO crush out all in
Cividual initiative and all power of
Independent action because of the
absence of adequate and thorough
going governmental control. Ex-
uctly similar conditions obtain in
large part of the West and South
west. Ehis particular instance ex-
tmpliies lie fact that the granting
o the Government of the power TO
substitute proper for an improp-
'r rate is in very many instances
she only effective way in which to
prevent improper determinations
in rates.
Cannot Figure Profits.
It s net possible to put into
figures the exact amount by which
the Standard profits through the
gross favoFitism shown 1t by the
railroads in connecr:on with the
open rates. The profit of course
comes not merely by the saving in
the rate itself as compared with its
competitors, but by the higher
prices it is able to charge, and
(even without reference TO these
higher pricesJ by the complete con-
troll Of the market which it secures,
thersoy Getting the profit on the
whole consumption. Here again the
only way by r~hich the discrimina-
ton can be cured is by comforting
upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission the power 20 take quick
and effective action. in regulating
the rates
One feature of the report WHICH is
especially worthy of attention is tnv
showing made as to the way in which
the law is evaded by treating as State
commerce what is in reality merely =
part Of Interstate commerce. IL is clear
" shown. for instance. that this device
IS employed on the New York Central
railroad. as wei, as on many other rail-
roads. in such fashion as TO amount TO
thwarting the purpose of the law, al
though the forms Of the law may be
compiled with.
Sugar Trust Involved Also.
1t is unfortunately not true that the
Standard Oil Company is the only great
corporation which i'm the immediate past
has benefited, and is at this moment
benehting, in wholly improper fashion
by an elaborate series of rate discrim-
nations. which permit It to profit both
at the expense OF its rivals and of the
general public. The Attorney General
reports to ne that the investigation now
going on as to the shipments by the
Sugar trust over the trunk lines running
out of New York city tends to show
that the Sugar trust rarely If ever pays

ANOTHER MESSAGE LIKELY
President Roosevelt May Soon Be in
Active Eruption on Car Short
age Question.

Washington, Dec. 17-President Roose-
welt is taking deep interest in the sit
uation as tc car shortage, complaints re-
garuins which have come from many
sections of the United States. Some
time ago a partial statement bearing on
the car shortage was submitted to the
president by the interstate commerce
commission, and when the more complete
report which the committee has under
way in the northwest has been prepared
it will be sent to the president for his
information in the event that he decides
to make any recommendations to con-
gress on the subject. He has not yet
taken any steps indicating his probable
course.
Among suggestions that have been
made TO the president is that he recon-
mend legislation by congress empowering
the government to take charge of rail-
roads and operate them under certain
contingencies, especially in case like
the present, where the shortage of cars
affects the transportation of fuel and
the necessities Of life This proposition
however, it is stated at the White House.
has never been even remotely considered
by the president.
