Commissioner Smith VS.. The Standard Oil Co.
From tie RaikzOar Woyld January ,, 1908.

Mr. Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal in the
cause of economic reform has been in no wise
abated bv the panic which he and his kind did
so much 10 bring on, is out with an answer to
President Moffett, of the Standard Oil Company
OF Indiana. The publication of this answer, it is
officially given out, was delayed several weeks,
for business reasons because it was not
deemed advisable to further excite the public
mind, which was profoundly disturbed by the
crisis Now that the storm clouds have rolled
by. however, the Commissioner rushes again
into the fray.
Our readers remember that the chief points
in the defense of the Standard Oil Company,
as presented by President Moffett, were, o.
that the rate of six cents on oil from Whiting
to East St. Louis has been issued to the Stan
dard Oil Company as the lawful rate by en-
pIoyes of the Alton, ~ that the 1s-cent rate on
file with the Interstate Commerce Commission
was class and not a commodity rate, never
being intended to apply to oil, 90 that oil was
shipped in large quantities between Whiting
and East ST. Louis over the Chicago and East
ern Illinois at six and One-fOuTth cents per
hundred pounds, which has been filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission the lawful
rate, and "a that the 1SCeut rate on oil 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 linseed oil, the lawful rate
which was eight cents. President Ioffett also
stated that thousands of tons Of freight had
been sent by other shippers between these
points under substantially the same conditions
governed the shipments of the Standard Oil
Company.
This defense of the Standard Oil Company
was widely quoted and has undoubtedly exerted
& powerful influence upon the public mind.
Naturally the Administration, which has staked
the success of its campaign against the trusts"
upon the result of its attack upon this com
pany endeavors to Offset this influence. and
hence the new deliverance of Commissioner
Smith.
We need hardly to point out that mis- rebuttal
argument is extremely weak although
strong, doubt, the circumstances would
warrant, He answers tho points made by Pres
ident MOffett substantially as follows: a. The
Standard Oil Company had traffic department,
and should have known that the six-cent rate
hat not been filed, ~ no answer. (3) the Chi
cagO and Eastern Illinois rate was a secret
rate because it read, not from Whiting. but
from DOlton, which is described "a village
OF about 1,5co population just outside of Chi
cagO. 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
admits in describing this rate that there was
Il note attached stating that the rate could also
be used from Whiting.
The press has quite generally hailed this
statement of the Commissioner of Corporations
as conclusive refutation of what is evidently

There are social distinctions in Cuba

several color lines, though these are
not eternal. hard fast and unchange-

social life IS run largely by social clubs.
There are in almost every town and
village negro clubs, two or three grades
