INTO " the Tray '''' so'''ss'0'er ''s"'s Ns
Our readers rene nber that the chief points In
the defense Of the Standard OIL Company. as
prese ted by President Moffett, were. ~ that
the rate OF cents on OIL from Whiting to East
st Louis had been issued to the standard Oh
Company as the lawful rate by employees OF the
Alton; t2J that the l3-cent rate on die with the
Interstate Commerce Commission class

was entirely out OF proportion to lawful rates
on other commodities between these points OF
similar character and Of greater value--such,
for example as hnseed oil. the lawful rate on
which was cents. President Moffctt 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 defense OF the Standard OH Company
was widely quoted and has undoubtedly cxerted

hence the new deliverance OF Commissioner
Smith.
We need hardly to point out that his rebuttal
argument is extremely weak. although as
strong. no doubt. as the circumstances would
warrant He answers the points made by Pres.
ident Moffett substantially follows: Gu :rhe

and similar secrst rates" The commissioner
admits 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
sta tement OF the Commissioner OF Corporations
as conclusive REPUTATION OF what Is evidently

advanced by the Standard.
