INSTRUMENTATION LAW.
cummins Signs Measure Relieving
Iowans From Standard OiPs Grasp.

Des Moines, May 5.--Governor Cum
MINIS has signed the anti -discrimina-
ton bill which is calculated to relieve
the people of Iowa from the grasp OF
the Standard Oil company
Hereafter when John d. Rockefeller
desires to drive competitor out of
business in Iowa he will have to do 1t
by furnishing better oil or better SER
vice, for he can not do it by temporar-
lily cutting prices
Independent oil people believe that
this will open Iowa to the Kansas oil
product and reduce the price of oil to
Iowa consumers several millions of
dollars year. 1t will permit compe-
tition In the Iowa field in disposing OF
oils
The measure was passed by the last
general assembly and provides that
when a company reduces the price of
petroleum or its products In one To-
cality in the state an identical reduc-
ton must be made in every other part
of the state.
So an oil company can not sell oil in
Des Moines, for instance, at less
price than in other towns in Iowa
which have the same freight rates. If
the price is cut in one town it must
be cut in all. This will prevent a
company cutting the price in Des
Mones, for instance, to drive cut the
competition here while the prices in all
other parts of the state is felt at the
old figure or increased sufficiently to
make up the loss in the one town
where competition is being destroyed.
The result will be that prices will
not be cut by the Standard, but thas
the average prices will be reduced in
the state is certain for the history of
Kansas competition under similar
law demonstrates it in that common
wealth. The Independent people to
build up business will naturally start
out with a lower price for oil than the
Standard, which will force the Stand
ard to lower level. This will affect
the whole state alike.

cut 1t down $51.352,155, making a net
decrease of the farm assessment dur
ing Cummns' term Of $49,327 49, so
Cummins has not only raised tie as
sessment of the railroads and puDllc
service corporations, but has decreased
the farm assessment.
A further careful Investigation OF the
taxation figures will show that the
great bulk of the increase In the farm
ers taxes is due to the increase In the
local taxes and not in the state taxes,
and when the tax payer looks at nus
tax receipt and compares 1T with the
receipt of the year before he should re-
member this fact, and also remember
that Governor Cummins has nothing TO
do with the making of his local taxes
Here are the figures.
