HEN INDUSTRY IS
BEING NEGLECTED
Few People In Oklahoma Recognize
Importance Of Poultry Products,
Says Barrett

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 1S.--Calling at
tention to the decrease OF 1915 per
cent in the amount of poultry and
decrease Of 36.5 per cent in the amount
of eggs sold in Oklahoma during 1908
as compared with the previous year,
Charles Barrett. president Of the state
poultry breeders association declares
in an address to the state association
at Enid that no Oklahoma legislature
has ever recognized the Importance of
the poultry interests of Oklahoma.
This is not to be wondered at when
we consider how very few intelligent
men and women In Oklahoma have dis
covered and are taking advantage of
the wonderful opportunities and profit
TO be found In the production Of poul.
try and poultry products" said Mr..
Barrett.
Mr.. Barrett calls attention, how.
ever. to one thing that the assoeia-
tion has been able to secure in Okla
homa which aids the industry. It en-.
ables local poultry associations to be-
come auxiliary organizations to the
farmers Institutes and to profit by
provision of the law which enables
them to draw from the country treas
urer proportionate part of the sum
Of $500 year in each county for
the purpose OF holding exhibitions
and TO stimulate competition in ex-
perimental work in poultry breeding.
Mr. Barrett also stated that the A. g.
NJ. college at Saltwater has recently
arranged for the addition Of a poultry
department to the experiment work
of the college. He declares that the
territory between Nebraska and Cen
trail Texas, extending from the Rocky
Mountains to Central Arkansas is the
most favorable climate FOR poultry pro
duction In the United States.

Difference Between Actual and
Natural Competition.

the stock OF the nineteen corporations
to be transferred to the Standard Of
New Jersey In exchange for It's stock,
so that the latter acquired legal title
and power to fix rates of transporta-
ton, purchase and selling price of
petroleum.
The courts decision that many of
the nineteen companies, majority Of
the stock OF which was owned by the
stockholders OF the Standard oil com
pany of New Jersey in 1899. were nat
urally competitive, also is held In
error. The court also is held to have
erred In finding that the Standard of
New Jersey has, since 1892 prevented
competition, because for many years
prior to 1899 the corporation has been
owned and held In the same common
ownership as component parts OF one
entire business, and were not competi.
tive companies, nor were they under
any obligations to compete with one
another The courts Interpretation Of
the Sherman act is attacked In the fol-
lowing errors assigned:
That II erred in finding that the
Sherman act creates different competi-
tion from actual competition. which
II designates as natural competition;
in finding that the so-called national
competition was prevented; In finding
that the Sherman act creates a differ
ent kind OF competition from actual
competition, which ii designates as po-
tential competition; in holding that a
holding company, owning the stock OF
companies which otherwise would be
competitive, is a form of trust pro
hibited by the Sherman act. and in
holding that the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey is such com.
pany.

st. Louis, Dec. 1s--Judge William
C. Hook and Judge Elmer b. Adams Of
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals signed an order yesterday grant
ing the Standard OH company's appeal
to the supreme court froIl the recent
federal investigation here, ordering Il
to dissolve. The assignment Of errors,
which with the $4,000 bond was filed
this afternoon, cites sixty-six mistakes
In the lower courts action.
The errors assigned are formal and
are to the general effect that the evil
dence did not show a violation Of the
Sherman antitrust act, under which
the order of dissolution was issued.
Particular stress Is laid upon the
method by which the subsidiary com
panles are controlled and operated and
a majority Of the errors assigned pre-
sent exceptions to the courts findings
on this point from various angles.
The principal error assigned is that
the court erred IN oYerrullng the plea
as to It's jurisdiction. The court also
is said to have been In error In finding
that In ten years prior to 1897 the
seven individual defendants--John d.
Rockefeller. William Rockefeller. Hen
