THE STANDARD FINE

Once in a. while we hear a kick
about that twenty nine million dollar
fine imposed by Judge Lands on the
Standard Oil company. 1t might be
well to review the circumstances a
little. 1t is claimed that although the
Standard only paid six cents a hum
dred for shipping it's oil In the cases
before the court, its competitors ship
ped at the same rate. The fact is
that the open and published rate was
Is cents. and nobody but the Stand
ard shipped so much as car Of oil
over that line during the eleven years
the practice continued. The Stand
ard had no competitors. Like the cam
nibal chiefs enemies. they had all
been killed and eaten.
That peculiar shipment-or the mal-
titude Of shipments-required the fall
sification of the books of the railroad
companies and of the Standard Oil
Every shipment was a distinct and
seperate violation of the law. not only
in the essential rebate, but in the falsi-
fication Of the books and the attendant
moral perjury.
The secret rate enabled the Stand
ard to pocket for itself the twelve
cents per hundred that it charged W
to the consumers. How many millions
it took away away from the stock
holders of the corrupted railroads may
never be known. But if there was
ever a case in criminal history when
the penalty should be inf1exibly col
lected, this is certainly one To allow
the Standard to escape a single dollar
of it would be a crime against human
ity.-Tampa Times.

TROUBLE IN THE COUNTY CAMPS

1t is a significant fact that the cases
of abuse. mistreatment. improper food
and over-work reported in the convict
camps Of the state for the year pass
ed, have been, without exception, as
far as this paper knows. in the camps
Of the counties working their own
prisoners, and not among the camps
Of the state lessees, working state
prisoners or county prisoners. where
such are leased to them.
Working the convicts and caring for
them is the business Of this company.
1t has long since passed the expert
mental stage with them. They seek
to improve the system, improve the
conditions Of their prisoners, feed and
house and doctor them and keep them
in the best possible physical condi-
ton, cOntented and satisfied, realizing
that apart from humanitarian
standpoint, it is good business and
the prisoners will do more and better
work when the treatment justifies it.
Hundreds Of the discharged con-
victs re-enlist with the lessees when
their time has expired and continue
with them as free labOrers. This Is
one Of the best evidences of the care
received by the prisoners at the hands
Of the lessees.
