Mr.. Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal in the
cause of economic reform has been in no wise
abated by the panic which he and his kind did
SO much to bring on, is out with an answer to
President Moffett, of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana. The publication of this an
swer, 1t is officially given out. was delayed sew
eral weeks, for business reasons" because 1t
was not deemed advisable to further excite
the public mind, which was profoundly dis
turbed by the crisis. Now that the storm
clouds have rolled by, however. the Commits
sioner rushes again into the fray.
Our readers remember that the chief points
in the defence of the Standard Oil Company, as
2 presented by President Moffett, were Cd that
the date OF six cents on oil from Whiting to
East st. Louis has been issued to the Standard
Oil Company as the lawful rate by employees
OF the Alton, l2) that the 1s-cent rate on file
with theInterstate Commerce Commission was
q class and not commodity rate, never being
intended to apply to oil, (3) that oil was
shipped in large quantities between Whiting
and East St. Louis over the Chicago & East
ern Illinois at 6A cents per hundred pounds.
which has been filed with the Interstate COM
merce Commission as the lawful rate, and (4)
that the 1Scent rate on OIL was entirely out Of
ties between these points OF similar char
acter, and of greater value, such, for example.
as Hnseed oil, the lawful rate on which was
eight cents President Moffett also stated that
thousands Of tons Of freight had been sent by
other shippers between these points under
substantially the same conditions as governed
the shipments of the Standard Oil Company
This defence of the Standard Oil Company
was widely quoted and has undoubtedly exert
ed powerful influence upon the public mind.
Naturally the Administration, which has
staked the success Of it's scamTaign against
the trusts" upon the result OF Its attack upon
this company, endeayors to Offset this infu-
ence, and hence the new dsllyerance OF Com
missioner Smith
i We need hardly to point out that his rebut-
tai argument is extremely weak, although as
strong, no doubt, as the circumstances would
warrant He answers the points made by Presi-
dent Moffett substantially as follows: (1) The.
Standard Oil Company hadatraffic department,
and should have known that the six-cent rate
had not been fled, f2) no answer, 90 the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois rate was secret rate
because it read, not from Whiting, but from
Dolton, which is described as "a village OF
about 1900 population just outside Of Chicago.
It's only claim to note is that it has been for
many years the point Of origin for this and
similar secret rates" The Commissioner adj
mits in describing this rate that there was a
note attached stating that the rate could also
be used from Whiting.
The press has quite generally hailed this
statement OF the Commissioner Of Corpora
tions ais a conclusive refutation Of what is evil

argument advanced by the Standard.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
Makes Many Important Rulings
Of Interest to Shippers.
Will Fight high RATES
Permission is Declined the Georgia Rail-
road to Increase Passenger Rate
IA Cent Mile.

Atlanta, Ga.-The state railroad
commission has decided to take a
hand in the fight against the increas-
ed rates ordered by the railroads on
grain, hay and provisions coming into
Georgia and other southern territory
from Ohio and Mississippi river cross
ings.
The commission has issued an or
der directing it's special attorney,
Judge James K Hines, to prepare and
present to the interstate commerce
commission an appeal for relief from
the excessive rates which the rail
roads are seeking permanently to i'm
pose.
This action on the part of the COM
mission will be learned with much
qualification by the shippers of the
state who had reason to believe, as
the result of an action on the part
of that body, some time ago. that
they would i1be left to make the fight.
single-handed.. Now that they are to
have the. support of the state, strength
and encouragement will be lent to
their cause.
The increased rates apply on class
es B, C. D and f from Ohio and
made effective August /. There is no
way of estimating what additional ex-
pense these increases put upon the.
shippers of Georgia, but by some it
has been put as high as $1,000000
annually.
The railroad commission has declin-
ed the petition of the Georgia Rail-
road company for permission to in
crease it's rate of passenger fare from
2 Ia to 2 IL cents per mile. The de-
cision was based upon the ground
that the increase was not warranted
by the facts presented in evidence to
support the petition.
Instead of the roads having lost
money, it was stated before the COM
mission that its earnings for the first
six months of 1908 showed substan-
tial increase over those of the same
six months of 1907, though the latter
year had prior to this time been the
banner year in its history
The commission also directed the
Central of Georgia Railway company
to operate its Griffin passenger train
which now runs daily between >Grif-
fin and Bremen on it's Chattanooga
division, between Griffin and Cedar
town for a period of six months on
trial, at the end of which time the
commission will decide whether it
will require continuance Of the
new schedule or not.
This change was made to accommo
date the people living along this line
between Bremen and Cedartown who
now have only one train day each
way, while those on all other portions
Of the line have a double daily. serv-
ice. 1t was. commended that this in
convenienced many citizens and they
asked that the change be ordered. The
Central contends eGthat 1T would lose
money through thessS new Ssghedule.

the expiration of the present lease
system on March 81, 1909, the founda-
ton Of fund shall be begun which

to be leased out to individuals until
December 81, 1911. After the latter
date no convicts whatever shall be
leased to nriYate parties.
