The Governments Brief.
The government today filed in the cir
cult court Of the United States it's brief
in the case of the United States against
the Standard Oil company Of New Jer-
sey. by which it is sought TO dissolve that
corporation
The brief reviews the history Of the
company and declares the testimony
shows that the various defendants have
pursued A system of unfair competition
whereby the independent companies sell
ing and marketing petroleum have either
been driven out of business or SO re
stricted that the Standard has practically
controlled the prices and mOnODolized
commerce in petroleum products.
This system. it is commended. has taken
the form of price cutting in various localiz
ties. while keeping up high prices or rails
ing them still higher In other localities
where no competition exists, Of paying
rebates to customers as part Of their
system of price cutting. Of obtaining Sc
cret information as C. competitive bust
ness, largely through bribing railway en-
ployes. and using their secret information
to procure tho cOuntermanding Of
orders of independent producers and
to facilitate the price cutting pol
out by the Standard as independent,
which are engaged in price cutting, while
the Standard maintains the price through
its well known companies and other abus-
i've competitive methods against the COM
pettoTs
Sells Direct to Consumer.
The Standard Oil company. the brief al
leges. is particularly able to carry on this
competition for the reason that il does
not sell it's product at central markets
or through ordinary channels as most
other ordinary manufacturers. It mar
kets its products to the retailer in every
village and community in the United
States and it sells directly to the consum-
ers It is also held that the testimony
taken in Standard prosecutions shows
that the company through the Galena Sig
nal Oil company also controls about 971k
per cent of the lubricating oil and that
it sells to most railroads at enormous pro-
fits This is evidenced by the net earn
ings of the company, which in 1906 were
about 112 per cent on the capital stock
actually paid in and about 105 per cent on
a liberal valuation of the capital used.
1t is also charged the prices to most
railroads are substantially double the
prices charged to a few favored lines, no.

Speaking of the meaning of the verse, the

out by God by the river of life, that the
sinner might repent and be pardoned.
