OIL TRUST BATTING
IN NEW QUARTER
Representative Kustermann
Would Remove Really
High Tariff on Petroleum.

Representative Gustav Kustermann OF
Wisconsin has discovered a new way 10
take fall out OF the Standard OIL Com
pany. and has introduced a BIZ; 70 -
cOmplish the purpose. He finds that the
Standard is really q beneficiary Of the
tariff despite that petroleum is COM
monty supposed TO be admitted 10 this
country duty free. His bill aims 20 make
petroleum actually free. instead OF
theoretically so.
Petroleum, It seems, according to Mr.
Kustermann, is free Of duty when II
comes from countries which do not
charge any duty on petroleum from the
United States. Thus petroleum from
Ecuador is free: the only trouble is
that none comes from EucadOr because
there is none there. Likewise the Pc
trOleum OF Iuzuland, SeneEambia, and
all other countries that don't raise Pc
troIeum.
But the law provides that a counter
vailing duty shall be imposed on the pc
trOleum Of all countries, which at their
own ports impose a duty on American
petroleum; the duty here to be equal to
that which the foreign country imposes
on our product. The only real cOmpeti-
ton in the business is in Russia Russia
produces petroleum, and It imposes a
duty on petroleum from the United
States. So the United States, under the
countervailing arrangement, taxes pc
troleum from husband IN practical
operation this means that an article
nominally free IS really heavily taxed at
our ports.
Mr.. Rustermann's bill provides that
the petroleum of all countries shall be
admitted free. whether those countries
tax ours or not. He believes 1t is well
worth while TO try the effect OF actual
free admission. and viii press mis- bill
vigorously. Tariff legislation generally
isn't IN favor this session, but a DropO-
sition to turn a trick on the Stand
ard, Mr.. Kustermann thinks. ought TO
have a chance on general principles.

Saluda s Opportunity.
Saluda Standard.

Saluda Standard.
Saluda has before her a great op-
portunity. We have for some time
contended that much trade that goes
to nearby railroad towns could be
brought to Saluda, and that this
could be done by our merchants lay
ing in such stocks of goods as would
warrant the people to reasonably ex-
pect to find what they would want
here, and then advertising the fact
sufficiently to let them know it.
Why they have not done this is a
mystery, since every thinking man
knows that judicious advertising
pays-but we will speak Of adver-
tising in another editorial in another
issue.
Floods have cut off some Of our
people from Newberry and Chap
pells, temporarily, except by "flat, "
and to our mind there is now pres
ented to the business men Of Saluda
and vicinity a wonderful opportun-
ity to prove to these good people
that they can find right here practl-
cally everything that they have been
going to Newberry for. There will
be plenty Of time to prove this, for,
even if the bridges are ever rebuilt, 1t
will be quite a time before that IS
done. and meantime many people
would prefer coming here rather
than crossing the river on a flat boat.
Then, even if the bridges should be
rebuilt, if Saluda shall by that time
have proven to these people that she
can more nearly supply their needs
than they had thought, there is no
doubt that much Of that trade can
be held here permanently. This is
the proposition. Will Saluda arise
to the situation?
It can be easily demonstrated that
Saluda can sell goods as cheaply as
Newberrv. We can prove that this
is being done right now So, If ON
business men want trade, let them
nnt in the goods and bid for it.
AS to the Bridges.

placed on the table and this was
decorated with ferns, water lilies,
and roses as we'll as frogs and
