MEYICAN OIL FIELDS.
Geologist Ans7cers Questions asked
bu Senate.

Washington, June 5--President Taft and Secre-
tary Balinger have reached the conclusion that IL
would not be consistent with the interests OF the
public service to divulge the details or the hlot-
nation gathered in the oil fields OF Mexico recent
ly by Dr. C. W. Hayes, chief geologist OF the Geo
logical Survey. This decision was communicates
the Senate to-dav In a message from the Nhlto
House in response to Senate resolution.
Attached 10 the Presidents message Is a letter
from the Secretary of Interior pointing out that
DR. Hayes received his informa tion from the own
ers Of Mexcar oil fields under an obligation OF
secrecy. Dr. Hayes. however, submitted his con-
cluslons from visit to the oil producing regions
and these answer most of the questions asked by
the Senate resolution These conclusions are stated
follows
While these fields promise TO yield large guam
ty of crude oil. its quality is such that II canho
compete under present conditions in the markets OF
the United States or Europe with the higher grace
petroleum of the Appalachian, Illinois or mid-c
nent fields. Further, the conditions are such that
the demand for fuel oil and rehned products IN
Mexico exceed the supply available at present or
in sight in the future
Finally. the conditions in the Mexican nelds are
favorable for the small operator, and II Is hig-
" probable that production well refining will
remain in the control Of very few strong COM
panies

REPORTS ON TOBACCO.
Commissioner Smith Shoes EnOr-
nous Profits of Trust.

Washington June 5-Replying TO a resolution in
troduced in the Senate by Mr.. Beveridge, a report
made by the Bureau Of Corporations on the prices
Of tobacco was to the Senate to-day by Presi-
dent Taft.
Commissioner Smith that any consideration
OF the tobacco INDUSTRY in recent years Is neces-
sarily largely consideration OF the relation OF the
tobacco combination to the industry. II Is SAID
that the combination controls substantially three
fourths Of the business of manufacturing tobacco
other than cigars-in the United States To show
the extent Of this business it Is said that the out
put of the independent concerns, excluding cigars
now amounts TO Ss5.Oo0.O00 year
According TO the report. the American Tobacco
Company and other companies In the combination
have given the bureau full and ready access to
their books and records. From comments made on
the manner keeping books IT appears that the
bureau has had less valuable information concern
ing the conduct OF business by individual concerns
Tables included in the report show the remark
bic Increase of profits TO the concerns IN the com
bnation from 1890 To 1907. inclusive. The bureau
SAYS IL IL not prepared report in detail on the
decentralization or the cash value of the good
will acquired fror time TO time by the combina-
ton IL Is asserted however, that the value OF the
good will. which means the value or braEds Oh
goods manufactured by concerns which were alb
sorbed by the combination. could not have exceed
ed a comparatively small fraction Of the value as
signed TO II the books OF the combination Inc
only reason why the American Tobacco COMPANY
in it's early years able TO earn liberal uNlueuS
on it's entire capitalization. the report SAYS was
because of its monopostic power After reviewing
capitalization and earnings of the combination the
report says:
IL is evident. therefore, from these facts that
no comparson OF any significance can be made
between the net earnings Of the tobacco com,
binaton and Its capitalization or It's reported
assets
Among the subjects taken up by Commissioner
Smith is the amount of tax paid by the companies
In the tobacco combination TO the government IN
comparison with the profits made BY the combina-
tIon The report saws that the maximum amount
OF taxes paid. as might be expected, IN the
years 1899 70 1901, when the war revenue taxes
