Commissioner Has Scored.

Those who were disappointed on ac-
count Of the apparently innocuous char
acter OF 1Ir- Garheld's recent report on
the Beef trust viii have no reason TO
eavn at his paiustakng and fruitful
lations with the railroads His sue
cess in the present instance has dis
mayed his enemies as much as II has
pleased his friends.
Probably no more opportune time could
have been elected by the President to
send the report TO Congress. just as
the Senate Is about 20 begin voting on
the railroad rate bIll. That II will prove
Vote-maker in favor os the PresI-
dents views - confidently expected. The
President believes the facts revealed
by Commissioner Garfield constitute the
best argument yet presented that the
only effective remedy fer secret rebat-
Ing and open preferential ratings is
through Government regulation. with
only such restrictions as are necessary
under the Constitution.
One Of the most significant features
OF the report is that when the atten-
ton OF the railroads was called to GER
tain specific instances of rebating dis
covered by Mr.. Garfield. they discon-
tinued the practice. thereby acknowI-
edging their guilt. AS the President

Business Methods of the

leSSly Scored.

Astounding revelations regarding the
methods and practices OF the STANDARD
oil Company and its railroad allies wee
made today when the President. in a
special message. sent to Congress the
long-expected report OF Commissioner OF
Corporations James r Garfield
Seldom has organized capital been $,
ruthlessly uilloried. The work of inde-
pendent investigators OF the oil trust IN
recent years has been completely over
shadowed. and even the most strenuous
OF the 'muck-rakers'' viii now have to
take OF their hats TO the Government s
official octopus hunter. Commissioner
Garfield presents an array OF facts and
figures that would convince the most
skeptical. and he does II with a clear
ness that a child could understand.
He not only convicts the Oil trust OF
hagrant and persistent violations of the
law. but accuses its officials Of deliberate
lying He says that at the beginning
OF the investigation, the officials OF the
Standard said the company had not OBJ
tanned. and was then not obtaining.
secret rebates from the railroads. He
then proceeds TO show that the company
has habitualIy received. and IS still re-
ceiving, such rebates. and he cites case
after case in proof.
