Of Texas BY Operating as the Cor.

Out.
New York. Sept 20.-That the Stan
lard OIL company is operating under
he name OF the CorsicanR Refining
company in the state Of Texas. which
has forbidden the oil combine TO oper-
ate within the state. was Indicated
when Wesley II. Tnford. treasurer Of
the Standard oil company. under exam
nation IN the governments suit
against the company. testified that II.
c. Folger and c. NJ. Payne. whom
Frank Kellogg. the attorney for the
states control the Corsi-
cana company. are prominent in the
conduct Of affairs OF the Standard Oh
company. Mr.. Kellogg sought 10 draw
from the witness the information that
the Corsicana company was really a
Standard Oil company. and was oper-
ating in Texas because the antitrust
laws of that state would not permit
the combine 20 operate IL Mr.. Til
ford replied that, as far as he knew
the Standard Oil company had no in
terests in Texas He said that MI
Folger and Mt. Payne were both off,
GERS of the Standard Oil company. but
he was not aware that they owned the
COrsicana company.
Another interesting development
was the official statement made pub
lie for the first time Of John ID. Rookie
feller's personal holdings in the Stan
dard OIL company. Just to what eX-
tent the reputed head was individually
interested in the great concern has
long been a matter Of speculation. II
was brought out that Mr.. Rockefeller
owned 256. S54 shares. OF more than
one-fourth of the total 972. 500 certih-
Gates OF the Standard Oil company.
Based on the earnings OF the company
as placed on record Tuesday. it is com
puted that Mr.. Rockefeller's personal
profits during the past eight years
have aggregated almost $125. 600. 900.
At Tuesdays hearing 1t was testified
that in the years from 1899 to 1906

hibit him from appointing "A com

Judges. There was never any real
doubt as To how the question sub
mitted would be decided. and while
we heartily favor the election of all
county officials by the people. we re-
gard the decision of the court a.
proper. The new constitution of
Virginia provided for either the ap-
pointment or election of commits
sioners of the revenue as the legisla-
ture may 10y statute direct. but in
the event that they were directed TO
be elected 10y the people, no person
was eligible to succeed himself. The
elective method was first adopted bv
the legislature, but under this
method it was found that great con
fusion and many inaccuracies would
result on account of the election of
new men throughout the State every
four years. 1t was deemed necessary
To provide against this confusion
in the fiscal affairs of the State. and
the act providing for appointment
OF these officers, until an amendment
To the constitution could be made.
and there is little doubt that the
constitution will be amended in this
respect. There has been some OBJ
lection on the part of the people TO
the act, but the Legislature ought
not to be blamed for an act the ap-
parent necessity of which was not
of their making.
