ate at the last session, at the sugges- tion of the Postmaster-G General, pro- viding that, for the purpose of ascer- taining the practicability of establish ing a special local parcel post system on the rural routes throughout the United States, the Postmaster-G Gener- al be authorized- and directed to ex- pertinent ard report to the Congress special local parcel post system on rural delivery routes in not 10 exceed four counties in the United States for packages of fourth class matter originating on rural route or at the distributing post otiic e for delivery by rural carriers. It would seem only proper that such an experiment should he tried in order to demonstrate the practicaollity of the proposition, especially as the Post master General estimates that therev- enue derived from the operation of such system or. all the rural routes would amount to many million dollars.
 The huge wealth that has heen accumulated hy a few individ- uals of recent years, in what has amounted to social and industrial revolution, has been as regards some of these individuals made possible only by the improper use of the modern corporation. A certain tpye of modern corporation, with it's offi- cers and agents, its many issues of securities, and it's constant consoida- tion with allied undertakings, finally become an instrument so complex as to contain a greater number of ele- ments that, under various judicial decisions, lend themselves to fraud and oppression than any device yet evolved in the human brain. Corpor- ations are necessary instruments of modern business. They have been permitted to become a IT enace largely because the governmental represen- tatives of the people have worked slow ly in providing for adequate con- trol over them. **
 1 most earnestly urge on the Con- gress the duty of increasing the totally inadequate salaries now given to our Judges. On the whole there is no body of public servants who do as valuable work, nor whose moneyed reward is so inadequate compared to their work. Beginning with the Supreme Court Judges should have their salaries doubted. It is not befitting the dignity of the Nation that it's most honored public servants should be paid so small compared to what they would earn in private life that the performance of public service by them implies an exceedingly heavy pecuniary sacrifice.
 It is earnestly to be desired that some method should be devised for doing away with the long delay which now ohtain in the administration of justice, and which operate with peculiar severity against persons of small means, and favor only the very criminals whom it is most desirable to punish. These long delays in the final decisions of cases make in the aggregate crying evil; and a rem edy should be devised. Much of this intolerable delay is due to improper regard paid to technicalties which are mere intolerance to justice. In some roted recent cases this over-re- gard for technicalties has resulted in a striking denial of justice, and flag rant wrong to the body polltic.

 Mir Rockefeller said another risk was the peculiar construction of re- fining machinery, which could be used for no other purpose. One could never tell when he would awake and find the crude oil supply exhausted
 MT Kellogg then asked MT Rocke. feller about the Standard Oil agree ment with the Pennsylvania railroad in 1877, in which the Pennsylvania agreed 10 pay back 10 per cent of the freight rates which the Standard paid The witness said this agreement fol- lowed the rate war between the Northern and the Southern lines, and that there was an agreement where. by he was to equalize the amount of freight distributed between the diff ferent roads.
 MT Kellogg read the agreement, which showed that it provided that the Standard Oil Co, was to ship 2 00000O barrels of oil year When the government counsel asked if the other railroads besides the Pennsylvania made like agreement for a 10 per cent rebate, Mr Rockefeller referred him to the men who conducted the negotiations.
