WHO WILL PAY THE FINE7

Herbert Knox Smith. United States
commissioner OF corporations, has
made another lucid and vigorous re
port on the methods of the Standard
Oil company, which will be of timely
service in the education of the public
in regard to the true character of the
great monopoly. The first report went
into the details of the immense profits
of the company and its system of re
bates. In the second report is set
forth the fact that the price abroad
of American oil is lower than in the
country where it is produced. and
that there is also throughout the
United States marked variation in
prices according to the grip the mo-
nopoly is able to exercise in different
localities. Commissioner Smiths re-
ports have unusual value as public
documents because they show a mas.
terry OF the facts, give them concisely.
and fearlessly go to the mark, sweep
ing aside the subterfuges which with
the monopoly has surrounded itself.
A difference of several cents n gallon
in favor of foreign consumers is
proved. AS petroleum is on the free
list there is no chance to charge this
margin on protective tariff. The diff
ference is due to an exclusive control
o. the American market, with a re-
sulting power to discriminate and bull
doze in many directions.
In the matter of lubricating oil the
monopoly has played favorites. requir.
ing some railroads to pay exhorbltant
prices, while one of the railroad sys-
TENS was given a lower price than
any other. Throughout the United
States the prices for Illuminating oil
are fixed locally in an arbitrary man
ner, the company's profits varying
from less than n cent a gallon to 4
cents. Data obtained from 5000 re
tail dealers warrant the statement that
there is no general market price in
this country for petroleum products
Commissioner Smith says these varia-
tions were made possible by the sys-
TEN OF secret rebates long carried on
by the Standard Oil company. The
company claims that 1t has made It's
profits by superior business ability and
economic improvements. Commits
sioner Smith reaches an opposite con.
clusion, furnishing the facts and fig
ures to elinch his opinion that the
monopoly has adopted and invented
unfair methods to destroy competi-
ton. oppressed the public by extortion,
raised prices instead OF lowering them,
and charged more than would have
been asked by smaller concerns II they
had not been crushed In competition.
Who will pay the fines imposed
the monopoly can not be curbed? II
would take less than cent n gallon
to wipe out the fine of s29, ,240, 900
In so vast business, covering various
products. and reaching into foreign
as well as domestic markets. II would
be easy to hide manipulation for
much larger amount of money. The
Standard Oil company has the power
to shift all fines to the public, and
