More Revelations Made.

Washington. d. c., Aug. 5.-Follow-
ing close on the track of the $29, 9,240,-
900 fine imposed by Judge Lands in
Chicago on the Standard Oil company
for violation of the Elkins law in un-
lawfully swelling its profits by accept
ing secret rebates from the Chicago &
Alton railroad, significant revelations
were made public yesterday in a re-
port submitted to President Roosevelt
by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner
of corporations, concerning the opera
tions of the Standard company.
In a previous report the means and
methods of the Standard were explain
ed. The present report sets forth the
results of those methods and the effect
they have had on the consumer of oil
and on the profits of the Standard Oil
company 1t deals with profits and
price, showing just how the manipula-
tion of the oil industry by the Stand
ard has affected the pocketbook of the
American people.
Used Power to Squeeze Public.
Commissioner Smith says:
"The Standard Oil company is re-
sponsiblc for the course of prices of
petroleum and its products during the
last 25 years. The Standard has con
sistently used its power to raise the
price of oil during the last 10 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 ii
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 of these claims is disproved by
this report.
Increase Is Vnst.
"The increase in annual profits Of
the Standard from 1896 to 1904 was
over $27,O00,00O. The total dividend:
paid by the Standard from 1882 tC
1906 were s551 1922 ,9O4, averaging thus
24.15 per cent per year. The divi
dends, however, were much less thar
the total earnings. 1t is substantial,
certain that the entire net earnings o
the Standard from 1882 to 1906 were
at least $790,OOO,0O0 and possibly mucl
more.
These enormous profits have beer
based on an investment worth at tn
time of it's original acquisition no
more than $75,000,000."
Unfair Methods Exposed.
In his letter to President Roosevelt
transmitting the report, COMMISSIONS
Smith says:
"The following facts are proven
The Standard has not reduced margin
during the period in which it has bee
responsible for the prices of oil. Dul
ing the last eight years covered by thi
report OS9S to 19O5) it has raised bot
prices and margins.
''Its domination has not been acqui
ed or maintained by its superior eff
cheney, but by unfair competition an
