STANDARD OIL METHODS
Report to the President Says They
Are Reprehensible.
Net Benefited consumers-Destroye
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Prices
Profits Excessive.


Washington Significant revela-
lions were made public Sunday In a
report submitted to President Roose-
welt by Herbert Knox Smith. commits
sioner OF corporations. concerning the
operations Of the Standard Oil COM
pany.
In q previous report the means and
methods Of the Standard were ex-
planned. the present report sets forth
the results of these methods and the
effect they have had on the consumer
Of oil and on profits of the Standard
OH company.
Commissioner Smith Says:
"The Standard Oil company is re-
sponsible for the course OF prices Of
petroleum and its products during the
last 25 years. The Standard has con-
s~istently used its power to raise the
price Of oil during the last ten years,
not only absolutely but also relatively
to the cost Of crude oil"
The Standard has claimed that IL
has reduced the price OF oil: that it
has been a benefit to the consumer;
and that only a great combination like
the Standard could have furnished oil
at the prices that have prevailed.
Each one Of these claims says
Commissioner Smith, lis disproved by
this report.
The following facts are proven:
The Standard has O reduced mar
gins during the period in which It has
been responsible for the prices Of oil
During the last eight years covered
by this report tlS9S to 1900 it has
raised both prices and margins. Its
domination has not been acquired or
maintained by its superior efficiency.
but rather by unfair competition and
by methods economically and morally
unjustihable. The Standard has SUI
perior efficiency in running it's own
business; it has an equal efficiency in
destroying the business Of cempetit.
Ors. II keeps for itself the profits of
the first and adds to these the monop-
oily profits secured by the second. Its
profits are far above the highest pos
sihle standard OF a reasonable com
emrcial return, and have been stead
lily increasing. Finally. the history OF
this great industry is a history Of the
persistent use Of the worst industrial
methods, the ~exaction Of ~exorbitant
prices from the consumer. and the Sc
curing Of excessive profits for the
small group Of men who over a long
series Of years have dominated the
business"
