WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.

there are appropriations to be made

Porto Ricans be made either ctiz rs

he relents the bill will die on March A.

limiting the time during which rail-
road men may be kept continuously on
duty, lacks but the approval Of tile
house and Of the president to become

been held up in the senate for over n

its ratification at this session. The
volume of necessary work with the

New Jersey is apparently to afford
US the expected illustration Of the
beauties of the old way Of electing
senators. After a hard fight Senator
Dryden mas been beaten. Under "a
method of choosing public officials
operating in any sense to reflect he
wishes of the public, this would mean
the election of somebody who stands
for the things that Senator Dryden
opposes Not so in the election of SEN
ators. The defeat of Dryden means
merely that while he cannot go TO the
senate in person he will be represented
there by proxy of his own choosing.
rhere is moral value in such a vic
tory for the opponents of Dryden. It
speaks well for the effectiveness of
Senator L.aFollette's work In New Jer-
sey last fall. But the practical result
IS about the same as If Dryden had

sion reports of Investigations OF
the Standard Oil company and or tie
eastern coal carrying railroads Iur
nished chief topics of interest. The hear
ings concerning the oil company were
held late last year The company is dealt
with unsparingly by the report The
company, says the report, largely
monopolizes the handling of petroleum
from the mouth of the well until II Is
sold to the retailer, and sometimes 10
the consumer, and under ordinary cir-
cumstances its margin OF proht is very
large Estimates made in the report
show a profit on refined oil from the
Sugar Creek refinery at Kansas City
of from five to eight cents per gallon.
A much higher profit is indicated for
gasoline. The sale of refined oil from
the large Standard refinery at Whltlng,
Is correspondingly profitable.
"The evidence shows little basis for
the contention that the enormous d1vl-
dends of the Standard Oil company
are the legitimate result of it's econo-
mics Except for its pipe lines, the
Standard has but little legitimate ad-
vantage over the independent refiner
"The Standard buys advertising space
in many newspapers which it fills, not
with advertisements, but with reading
matter prepared by agents kept fol
that purpose and paid for at advertis-
ing rates, as ordinary news. The as
sumption is that this literature fur
nishes many of the ideas touching the
great benefits conferred upon the pub
lie by the Standard Oil company
Possession of the pipe lines enables
the Standard absolutely to control the
price of crude petroleum and the price
which it's competitors in a given local
ity shall pay. 1t can raise the price in
one locality and obtain it's oil from an
other and reserve the process when 1t
desires to do so. Whoever controls the
raw material or the refined product can
speedily drive his competitory out #
existence, and the production and dis
tribution Of petroleum is no exception
to the rule
Others of the charges most commonly
heard against the company are sus
tanned Railroad rebates and diScrIm-
nations are found to have been a
chief source Of it's strength. II has
supported a system of espionage upon
it's competitors, and makes a practice
of destroying local competition by ruin
OuSly low prices. 1t repeatedly oper-
ated dummy companies in order to
make a show of competition when
there was no competition. AS to means
Of destroying the determinations in it's
favor the report said: Under this
condition it may become necessary to
the uprooting of established wrongs
and the prevention of others that the
government shall fix in the first in
stance the rates and regulations for
the transportation of this traffic This
method has been adopted by the legis-
lature of one state 1t probably will
be found necessary to disassociate in
the case of oil as in that of other com
modities the function of transportation
from that of production and distribu-
ton. What other remedies in addition
to those already provided it may be
necessary to prescribe can be better de-
termined in the near future by the re-
suits of experience in administering
the present law"

inc in southern China appears worse
with each succeeding report. DR.. Hen
ry M. Woods, a missionary, estimates
that 100000 people are affected by

ing. He says there are more than

sight is daily witnessed Of parents Of
fering their children for sale at from

he adds are everywhere rife. He de-
clares that the influence of the famine
conditions can be plainly seen IN the
unrest and discomfort Of the people,
and he concludes: MY deliberate opir-
ion is that the next few months will
see the development of dangerous
things in this part of China. and that
such conditions and circumstances will
have great effect upon foreign inter
ests, political as well as commercial ;"

the commission recommends that car

be forbidden after reasonable time to
own or have interest, directly or indi-

except such as are exclusively for their
