augmentinE the aggregate profits, Of
the Standard will be set forth later.
The Bureau has also secured a great
mass OF evidence regarding other
unfair practices Of the Standard,
most Of which, however, are simply
uxiliary means OF rendering price
discrimination effective. Thus, the
Standard maintains bogus independ-
ent companies and thereby Is able to
escape the disadvantage due to anti
trust sentiment, as well as to cut
prices to the particular customers OF
competitors without mourning the
further loss OF cutting prices to the
entire trade in the locality. Again,
the Standard maintains an elaborate
system Of espionage on the business
OF independent concerns, in particu-
lar securing almost complete reports
of their receipts and shipments of oil
by bribing railroad employees. This
practice enables the Standard to
direct its policy of local price cutting
in the most elective manner. Other
less important methods OF Unfair
competition pursued by the Standard
are the giving of short measure and
deception regarding the quality Of
the oil sold.
Without railroad Determinations
and unfair methods of competition
the Standard could never have main
tanned Its great proportion of the oil
business in the United States while
at the same time extorting such Inn
mense profits from the American
consumer. The claim of the Stand
ard that its control of the business
is due to its ability to maintain low
prices because of superior efficiency
is complete misrepresentation of
the facts"

Those Waves Of Crime.

A wave of crime is surging over
New York and three or four other
cities in the country. For several
days numerous murders, assaults,
hold-ups, robberies and other crimes
have occurred in such rapid success
sion that the police officers and other
authorities of the cities concerned
have become alarmed and are exer-
cising the utmost vigilance to pre-
vent continuation of the awful
epidemic.
From the police authorities in
New York comes an appeal for more
men on the grounds that the force
is inadequate to properly guard and
protect the city and that in It's pres
ent condition 1t is Utterly unable to
cope with the excessive criminal OPP
erations throughout the city. The
same complaint comes from one of
the other cities similarly afflicted.
OF course, in such circumstances
perhaps more police officers are need
ed to meet and cope with the spread
ing evil and to protect the lives and
property of city's people and they
should be provided as hurriedly as
possible. But this is not all. After
checking the present uprisings, which
will be done, measures certainly
must be taken to prevent future
criminal waves.
In the morning newspapers of to-
day there are dispatches from three
cities telling of series of crimes.
They are New York, Chicago and
Dayton, o. In New York woman
and several little girls were assault
ed, one of the latter being murder
ed. Five assaults in Chicago result
ed in the death of four A young
woman was foully murdered and a
male companion fatally wounded in
Dayton. Foreigners principally fig
ure in these crimes. In a majority
of instances those arrested FOR the
crimes are ignorant foreigners of u
low class. A review of the news
dispatches of Nthe last two or three
weeks from the cities afflicted with
these criminal epidemics will show
that a majority of the suspects and
arrested persons charged with the

ignorant foreigners who are permit
ted entrance into this country be-
cause Of lax immigration laws.
The writer does not wish to reflect
upon foreigners generally nor upon
the better class Of those who come to
this country from foreign lands. But
there is no question that the lower
element Of uneducated peoples who
come here from Italy and other
European countries are a menace ana
an evil to our country. It some
times strikes a person with surprise
that there can be permitted In
civilized European nations such a
lack of educational facilities, or of
laws and their enforcement, or such
apparent poverty that is evinced by
some Of those miserable wretches
who pour into our great cities from
the lands across the seas.

but the remedial adjustments have
not, evidently, been sufficient unto
the ends desired. The immigration
problem has not been adjusted yet,
and the efforts to solve 1t to the bet
ter interests of this country have
been too few. The sooner our i'm
migration laws are made more
stringent than they are now, the bet
ter it will be for all of US.

NIr. BrYan,s PIatfor1n.

Mr.. Bryan has issued in the Com
moner his platform for the next
presidential campaign, says Harper's
Weekly. 1t is not satisfactory. It
IS too general, and it minimizes the
issue which is daily becoming more
and more important in the minds of
the country. His main plank is hos
tility of the railroads and not
regulation which he says
Roosevelt and his party have
undertaken to provide for or carry
out. He does not tell US how regu-
lation may be improved, nor does he
recognize the facts of the situation.
The principal fact undoubtedly IS
that the war upon the roads has al
ready gone too far. Much of what
he says on this subject is ancient,
and good deal of it lacks the war
rant fact. People are beginning to
think that some injustice has been
done to the railroads and that more
injustice is threatened
But Mr.. Bryan does not agree. It
is true that he says that government
ownership will not be an issue in
1908 wherein he is wise, but it is al
so true that he advocates ultimate
ownership wherein he does not
recognize the present tendency of
popular belief, especially in the
south, which will have the most to
say in the choosing of the next Dem
ocratic candidate and in writing the
next party platform. And yet Mr..
Bryan would make as the leading
plank in his platform the issue most
obnoxious to the south. The tariff
question and that of state rights
seem to be of secondary Importance.
On the whole, it may be said that
Mr.. Bryan has added nothing in his
formal announcement TO his already
voluminous contributions on this
subject. and has said nothing that
will improve his chances as a candi-
date.

The conservative business-like
manner in which the city council
transacted business last might in
selecting brick for the paving did
not impress any one with the urgency
of the people turning out enmasse to
protect their interests as one paper
advised. The council probably did
it a good deal better than the critic
could have done. Every thing was
open and fair and no one present
made any protest or had any reason
to protest.

as shown by the report just. issued
by United States Commissioner of
Corporations, Herbert Knox Smith,
in which the Standard is charged
with unfair methods and given
severe arrangement. In closing the
report says:
at has been shown that the chief
advantage which the Standard has
over independent concerns in respect
to costs is In the pipeline business
transportation of petroleum by pipe
line is a quasi-public service. cor
responding to transportation by rail-
road. 1t Is the duty of transport
ing concerns to charge reasonable
rates. 1t is the duty of the Stand
ard pipe lines, under the laws of
several States and under the Fed
eral law, to act as common carriers,
transporting oil for others at rea-
sonable rates. If the Standard did
this, its advantage over its present
competitors would be enormously
reduced. AS has been shown in
Part l of this report, the Standard
pipe lines have very generally failed
and refused to transport oil for 9TH
ers, and in the rare cases where they
do so have charged altogether extor-
tionate rates. One of the principal
advantages, therefore, which the
Standar dpossesses over competitors
in respect to costs is an improper
and even an Illegal advantage.
Even by the aid of this advantage
in respect to pipe lines, however, the
Standard. as has already been demon
strated, does not, as a matter of
fact, sell oil for less than It's COM
petitors can afford to charge. It
EFFORTS a profit over and above all
the profits due to its economies. The
question arises how the Standard IS
able to maintain its substantial
monopoly while still charging such
prices. What. it may be asked, is
to prevent independent concerns from
either taking away part of the
Standards trade or forcing 1t to re-
duce prices? The answer to this
question is found in the unfair prac-
tees of the Standard.
1.-The most important of these. the
corner stone on which the Standards
power was first built up, was rail-
road discrimination. The Standard

Standard by the railroads and the
rates charged to independent con-
Germs for similar service has, in
many cases and for enormous areas,

Almost equally effective in main
tanning the Standards position have
been its unfair methods of competi-
ton in the selling of products. The

THE GOOD ROADS VETO.

The late Legislature passed a bill
or. b. 1881 intended to provide 4 sys-
TEN Of good roads for Utah, The idea
of the bill was to supplement in behalf
of the State the expected action of Con
gress in the appropriation of money for
the making of good roads throughout
the country.
For good many years there has been
pending in Congress bill appropriating
about fifty million dollars for National
roadmaking, contingent upon tho ap-
preparation of n corresponding sum in
the localities where the coed roads are
TO be made. That is to say, suppose
that two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars Of the fifty millions should be
apportioned to Utah; in that case Utah
and the localities concerned, either
combined or by the sole action of the
State, would put up like sum for
that purpose. Tho expenditure there
fore, under the contemplation Of the
law, as passed by Congress, would be
the expenditure in Utah OF one-half
million dollars for good roads; this
to be repeated at such periods as the
State would size up to the National ap-
preparation. The bill went on to make
the provisions supposed by it's author
to be necessary to meet the situation,
and stated that its provisions should
not be put into effect until June
/, 1909, 1t was hoped by the author
of the bin and by those who voted for
its passage, that by the time indicated
Congress would have passed its good
roads bill; and the State, by providing
the means Of carrying the work into
effect, would have the framework COM
plete, the officials established in Office,
and all ready To go on with the work.
1t was certainly commendable idea,

1t is an anomaly that a purely Asi.
attic country, and one supposedly de.
voted entirely to autocratic rule in
the name Of God, should outstrip 4
European country in the suppression Of
autocracy and the establishment of a
representative, constitutional govern
ment. Yet that is what has happened.

oegan about the same time TO move
for popular relief from intolerable des-
potlsm. In Russia some progress has
been made: there is Duma which at
least is step toward representative
fairness, though it has as yet made lit
tie impression upon the citadel of au-
tocracy, and has not much to show in
actual results.
But it is different in Persia. There
the National Assembly is bold, aggres.
sive, and has hunted autocracy to a
finish; it has compelled the Shah to
admit formally that he is not an auto
crat, but constitutional ruler, subject
TO the constitution as established; il
has compelled him to give up the con
troll of the Ministry, to restrict the
Cabinet TO eight in number, aud to
consent that they should be responsible
to the Assembly, and not to himself; /;
to surrender the control of the national
revenues; TO the establishment of local
assemblies in the provinces, and the
control of tho governors in respect of
their cmoluments and perquisites. The
Assembly has also forbidden the sale
of civic and military appointments;
and it has ordained strict accountable

established National Bank, and all.

from the military standpoint, there is
yet something TO say from the civic
standpoint. The Guard can be made the
means of strengthening out and setting

both military and civic.
We are glad to see, also, that other
places than Salt Lake have taken up
this matter of replenishing the com
panies of the National Guard The
movement should be general, and it
should be for the advantage of the
young men personally, as indicated
above, as well as for the help Of the
military service. Utah should by no
means content herself with having
barely a sufficient number i'm the Guard
TO draw the Federal appropriation for
the support Of this organization. 1t
would be good all around to have the
numbers not merely full, but doubled
It would be well TO cultivate and devel-
op military spirit, so that young men
would seek admission 10 the Guard and
take pride in their membership in it,
and seek advancement in promotions
through efficient and Jealous service.
The Tribune is extremely glad to see
the evidences that are manifest Of bet
ter conditions in the Guard and the
regeneration Of its membership. We
trust that it may continue until
the Guard is indeed a pride to the State
and an efficient factor in building up
the physical condition and appearance
of it's Young men.
