high rates which prevail on such bust
ness under regular tariffs would be
very great and the possibilities of de-
paTture from these charges extensive.
1t is perfectly clear that the distinction
between the rebate and the secret rate
is merely one of accounting
Regarding discrimination in the open
arrangement of rates, Commissioner
Garfield declares:
Different methods are used in diff
ferent places and under different con-
ditiOns, but the net result is that from
Maine TO California, the general ar
rangement of open rates on petroleum
oil is such as to give the Standard an
unreasonable advantage over it's COM
petitOrs
The conclusion is unavoidable that
the Standard Oil company has had an
important voice in the construction of
such rates and this concern is supported
by specific evidence developed by the
investigation"
Unreasonable Difference.
In many cases, he says, there are
unreasonable differences between rates
on oil in carloads and less than car
loads. He charges that discrimination
is practiced in some Instances in the
treatment of private tank cars. On
this point he says:
I'm most sections of the country all
refineries operating tank cars of their
to the mileage allowances. On the Pa
ciftc coast, however, most independent
rehnerieS receive $40 cents per mile,
and this on loaded movements only.
An exception is made where the haul
exceeds 500 miles. in which case three
fOurths cents per mile is allowed on
the excess mileage over that distance,
but again on the loaded movement
only. The Union Tank line and the
Waters-Pierce cOmpany-also a Stand
ard cOncern-are the only oil companies
operating tank cars on the lines of the
Southern Pacific company and the San
Ia Fe on the Pacific coast. which re-
Ceive three-fOUrths cents per mile on
both loaded and empty cars.
Given a Monopoly.
Similar Determinations are practiced
by some of the transcontinentaI sys-
TENS traversing the northwestern
states. The advantages of the Standard
Oil company would alone give it a
highly favorable position in the oil in
duStry. To a certain extent the pol
icy of railroad rates would be to neu-
tralize these advantages by giving ia
vOra BILE rates to the smaller refiner. The
Standard Oil company, through it's pipe
lines and its fleets of oil carrying yes
sells, is an active and powerful COM
petitOr of railroads Except in the
Texas and California fields, it has al
ready taken the transportation of crude
oil almost wholly away from railroads
The general policy of the railroads
with regard to other freight traffic has
been to equaliZe conditions of cOmpeti-
ton in given markets by the use of
commodity rates relatively more favor
able to distant producing points than
to the nearer producing points. But
it appears that in the case of the oil
industry, the policy has been generally
reversed and natural disadvantages of
the independents have been enormously
increased.

OF his Investigations Commissioner
Garfield SAYS:
1.-The general result of the investiga-
ton has been to disclose the existence
of numerous and fragrant discrimina-
tions by the railroads in behalf of the
Standard. Oil company, and its affiliat-
ed corporations. With comparatively
few exceptions, mainly of other large
concerns in California, the Standard
has been the sole beneficiary of such
determinations. In almost every sec
ton of the country that company has
been found to enjoy some unfair ad-
vantages over it's competitors and
some of these Determinations affect
enormous areas
DETERMINATIONS in the transporta-
ton of oil embrace d variety of forms,
the more important of which may be
classed under the following heads:
Il Secret and semi-secret rates.
50 Determinations in the open ar
rangement of rates.
''3- Determinations in classification
and rules of shipment.
"A. Determinations in treatment of
private tank cars
Practice of Blind Billing.
Many of the secret rates discovered
by the bureau of corporations have ap-
piled only on shipments of oil wholly
within single states. The Standard Oil
company, which controls refineries in
twenty states, is obviously in a posi-
ton to make extensive use of such in
terstate rates, or, as they are ordinar-
lily designated, state. rates. For the
purpose of more effectively concealing
the secret rates given to the Standard
Oil company, railroads in several i'm
portant cases have used peculiar meth
DDS of billing and accounting.
In some cases oil has been blind
billed that is to say, the waybiIls
have been made out showing the kind
of product transported and its weight
but without showing, as is the usual
custom, any freight rate or the amount
of the freight charges. In such in
stances the collection of freight is or
dinarily made, not by the local agent of
the railroads, but through the central
office, by the presentation TO the Stan
dard of a summary bill showing the
amount of freight charges at the secret
rate. Local agents often do not know
what the actual rates used on blind
bills are.
An especially large number of Sc
cret rates and rebates in the TRANSPORT
tatiOn Of oil was found in California.
In all more than eighty distinct viola
tions of tariffs on oil were discovered
in this state, the total concessions to
shippers and cOnsigneeS under these
rates as compared with the published
tariffs may be safely estimated at
about $500 900 per year. of which
amount about 100000 went to the
Standard.

The Use of Malt
Extract IN Food
Cooked Wheat Treated With It and
Then Baked Crisp and Brown Is
Nutritious and Delicious.

Remarkable results are secured by
treating whole wheat with malt ex-
tract. as is illustrated by that widely
known food product, Nalta-Vita, some
times called 1.-THE Perfect Food"
In the preparation of Malta-Vita. we
have these two factors, the whole
wheat. steamed and cooked in abso-
lutte cleanliness and containing every
food element necessary to the susten-
ance of the human body, OBJ pure malt
extract containing all the nutrition Of
best selected barley in a readily di-
gestibIe form so nutritious and
strengthening that doctors everywhere
recommend it.
The malt extract, mixed with the
cooked wheat converts the starch of
the wheat into maltese, or malt sugar,
an active digestive agent The result
is a perfect food, rich in all the nutri-
ton that builds up bone and blood,
brain and muscle, healthy tissue and
nerve force.
And Malta-vita is good to eat.
There's nothing like it, nothing that
can take its place. After being mixed
with the malt, the wheat is rolled into
vzafter-like fIakes,=every grain little
Oakland then baked in great, clean
ovens under most intense heat. From
the ovens Malta-Vita comes crisp and
brown, done to turn the most deli
cious. the most healthful food in the
world. All grocerss 10 cents.
