Claim That Standard Is Bene-

Commissioner of Corpora
tionS Smith.
IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wire.I

lBy Morning Journal Special leased Wire
Washington, Aug 4.-Significant
revelations are made public today In a
report submitted to President Roose-
welt by Herbert Knox Smith, com
missioner of corporations. concerning
the operations of the Standard Oil
company
In a 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 con-
sumner of oil and on the profits of the
Standard Oil company Commission
er Smith says:
The Standard Oil company is re-
sponsibe for the course of prices of
petroleum and its products during the
last twenty-five years. The Standard
has consistently 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 1t
has reduced the price of oil; that 1t
has been a benefit to the consumer,
and that only a great combination
like the Standard could have furnish
ed oil at the prices that have pre-
vailed.
Each of these claim" says Com
missioner Smith, lis disproved by this
report"
The increase in the annual profits
of the Standard oil from 1895 to 1905,
was over $27.OOO,OOO The report
says:
THE total dividends paid by the
Standard from 1882 to 1906 were
$551 ,922,9O4, averaging 24,15 per cent
per year. The dividends, however,
were much less than the total earn
ings 1t is substantially certain that
the entire net earnings of the Stand
ard from 1882 to 1906 were at least
$3.50 100000. and possibly much
more.
THE enormous profits have been
based on an investment worth at the
time on Its original acquisition NOT
more than $75,000.000."
