IF the same increase be applied to the
Standards entire sales of all kinds of pc
troleum products In the United states In
1904, the profits for that year would be
about s21 100000 more than they would
have been on the basis of the prices and
costs in 1898. AS matter of fact, the

Total Dividends of Standard.
THE total dividends paid by the Standard
from 1852 to 1906 were S551 80, 9O45o, aver

dividends, however, were much less than
the total earnings. Exact Information as
to these earnings is available only for the

1905, inclusive. an aggregate for these years
of about $714O00.tNa but from these figures

Short Measure and Deception.

The Standard" the report asserts, main
tains an elaborate system of espionage on
the business of independent concerns, In
particular 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 effective
manner. Other less important methods of
unfair competition pursued by the Standard
are the giving of short measure and de-
ception regarding the quality of the OH
sold.
without railroad determinations ana IN
fair methods of competition the Standard
could never have maintained its great pro
portion of the oil business in the United
States while at the same time extortine
such immense profits from the American
consumer. The claim of the Standard that
its control of the business is due to its
ability to maintain low prices because Of
