New York Aug. Charles M. Pratt, secretary of the STANDARD
Oil company, said today the company has no intention of advancing
the price of oil.

Washington, Aug. Interpretations Commissioner Herbert Knox
Smith today made public d report on the petroleum industry of the
United States. In it he furnishes one Of the most important links in
the governments long chain of evidence against Standard Oil. For
years it has been the general defense of the gigantic octopus that.
while ii IS a trust, it is a good trust and that, so far from raising
the price Of oil, it has been a means of reducing it. Commissioner
Smith proves exactly the contrary by figures and deductions drawn
from a resume of the trusts operations. That it has kept up the
price of oil has been the contention Of the prosecutions, both state and
national in every suit that has been filed against the Standard Oil, but
it has remained for Mr.. Smith to present the proof Of the truth Of the
charge. He shows that from 1897 to 1905 the trust increased the
profit 13 cents per gallon and that the profit increased in three by
products of the monopoly, gasoline, lubricatng oil and parafin al
added to the profit increase on the main product, was Is cents in the
time from 1898 to 1905.
Mr.. Smith also asserts that threefourths of a cent per gallon
would be a fair profit upon the investment of the Standard Oil om-
pany. s. that the increase in the profit in the last decade has been
almost double what would be a total reasonable profit. He shows that
in 1905 the oil trust was making nearly 7 cents a gallon, " about fen
times what would be a fair earning on its capital.
