has been consistently directed, not
at reducing prices to the public, and
thus maintaining its predominant po-
sitio1 through superior service, but
rather at Gripping existing rivals and
preventing the rise of new ones by
vexatious and oppressive attacks up
on them, and by securing itself most
unfair and wide-reaching discrimila-
tions in transportation facilities and
rates, both by railroad and pipeline,
while refusing such facilities so far
as possible to all competitors.
Since the publication of the report
of the Commissioner Of Corporations
on h Transportation of Petroleum,
in May 1906, action, has been taken
by the Government on numerous cases
of railway determinations discovered
and set forth in that report, and in
dictments against the Standard Oil
Company Or it's subsidiary concerns
are now pending IN the northern dis
riots of Illinois, in the western dis
trict of Tennessee, in the western dis
trict of Louisiana, in the eastern dis
trict of Missouri, in the southern dis
trict of California, and in the western
district of New York. The total num-
Der of separate offenses named in
these indictments exceeds 5000. All
were brought under the interstate con
merce act as amended by the
Elkins act, and set forth il detail the
violations of that act exposed by the
said report of the Commissioner. At
Chicago a conviction in the United
States District Court has been secur-
ed on 1,462 counts. In the western
district of New York, where also the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the New
York Central and Hundson River Rail
road were indicted, the demurrers
of all -four defendants have been over
ruled. Non Oh the other cases has
yet come to argument, but in every
issue that has so far been determined
II connection with these indictments
the facts set forth in the said report
on the Transportation of Petroleum
and the positions therein taken have
been completely sustained.

Commissioner of Corporations.

vexatious litigation which refused
right of way. by the aid of railroads
which efused right of way across
their ines aid adjusted their rates
so as to injure competing pipe lines,
by paying local discriminating prem
iums for crude oil in the limited areas
reached by rival lines, the Standard
has been able to practically prevent
the rise of any efficient competitor in
the pipeline business from Tie older
fields to the Atlantic seaboard, or
has destroyed or absorbed rivals al
ready established.
Having thus established n main
tanned its monopoly of the pipeline
business, it has in substance refused
to act as a common carrier or to
transport n deliver oil for i~ndepen-
dent producers or to independent re-
finers, and, where making any rates
at all for such transportation. has
made them at least as high as the
railroad rate between the same points,
although the cost of pipe lines trans
p~ortation is very muc less.
The economy of pipeline transpor-
tation as compared with that by rail
is a vital consideration. A refiner
wholly dependent on railroads for his
crude oil supply can not hope to be-
come a factor of much Importance in
the industry. This imperative con-
dition of rail transportation costs has
fixed the location of most independent
refineries near the oil fields and has
restricted most of their sales to the
refined products to the comparatively
small adjoining sections. On the 9th
err hand, the Standards comprehensive
pipeline system has given it choice
of strategic positions for its refineries
near to the largest distributing and
exporting centers of the country.

dard was able, compelling the cooper
alton of the railroads, to establish in
place thereof a system of secret or
open determinations in rates in its
own favor, covering almost the en-
tire country and of such a nature thai
throughout large sections it could sell
and make a profit on oil at prices
which left no profit for competitors.
The existence of many such impor-
tant railway determinations was set
forth in full in the report of the Com

suit of that report all the secret rates
which had been discovered were dis

in open rates have largely been aban-

Queretaro was a town before the

in 1Go5. A legend OF Queretaro is thai
an Otomite chief, Fernando de Tapia

to Christianity in a way that seems
novel to Us. but was common enough
to his day. He came from rula wien
a challenge to the people of Queretaro
to a fair stand up fight. If he won. the
people surviving were to be baptized.
The challenge was accepted, but while
the fight was in progress a dark cloud
came up and the blessed Santiago was

w%hereupon the people of Queretaro
gave up and were baptized. They set
up a stone cross to commemorate the
event on the site Of the present church
of Santa Cruz. There is scarcely a
