Standard Oil in Butter.

cChristian Science Monitor).
Standard Oil in butter is no joke
indeed, Standard Oil in anything is far
from amusing. Standard Oil in natur-
al gas has been the means Of compel1-
ing five Independent oil refneries in
Pennsylvania to come to terms because
they had to buy their gas from the
giant monopoly. The settlement has
just been announced but the conditions
are not divulged- To return to butter:
1t is stated that five men, constituting
the quotation committee OF the Board
Of Trade of Elgin, H., determine the
price at which butter will be sold
throughout the United States. just
now a government investigation is in
progress to determine whether they
are violating the Sherman anti trust
act. In making the price they are
guided almost entirely, 1t is said, by
Ner vnY9x conditions Milk rates in the

New York zone are practically under
the control of one company. The presi-
dent, secretary and many members OF
the Elgin Board of Trade are stock
holders in this company.
Despite firm contradictions by the of
ficers, it is asserted that huge blocks
of stock in the milk concern are owned
by the men who control the Standard
Oil Company. AS this seems to be
proved by entries on the record books,
the consumer of butter can hardly be
blamed for asking whether there is any
commodity around which this gigantic
octopus has not secretly wound its
tentacles. The public would be in bet
ter mood If it could be assured that
through the efforts which the depart
ment of justice is putting forth the oil
combine may be brought under practi-
cal government regulation to the end
that the laws may be strictly observed

Did Jesus have any rights, in regard

TARIFF AND HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Altogether the most effective indict-
nent of high tariff as a material factor
in the cause of the high cost of living
comes from the pen of the eminent
student and economist, Prof. j. Lau-
renee Laughlin.
In an article in a May magazine,
Professor Laughlin says that it is i'm
possible to attribute the generally
higher prices to a general cause like
the cheapening of gold and says it is
due to the heavy load of taxation laid
upon the consumer. He finds this true
both in the United States and in con-
tinental Europe. Underlying is the de-
mand for more money to support what
the professor calls militarism. by which
We understand him TO mean the build
ing of battleslips and the maintain
ing of large armies.
<'On an acreage" says Professor
Laughlin, imported dutiable goods
are increased in price to the American
consumer by over 40 per cent" That,
however, is not the whole story, for
ito the extent that importations are
impeded, not all of this tax of over
40 per cent goes to the govern m emit
but much of it goes to the protected
interests. The duties are so high as
not to be revenue duties, and our
treasury gets about three hundred mil
n nr 10
half of its annual expenditure The
truth is just coming home to the mass
Of people that our extremely high pro-
tective duties have raised the expenses
Of producing many, goods, raised prices,
and raised the cost Of living to every
family turnout the length and breadth
or the land. This is one reason why
Industrial activity today spells hard
times for the unorganized consumer
Going still further into his subject,
the professor pictures the present con-
troversy over the new tariff law as 4
sort of outpost skirmish with the main
works free from attack. He says:
"Some of our public men are not deal
ing fairly with the people when they
direct attention solely to the Payne
Aldrich act of 1909, and assert that it
has in some respects lowered duties.
Suppose that it had done so, as COM
pared with the Dingley act Of 1897
Then, that only transfers the cause of
offending to the duties fixed by the
Dingley act, which were, on the whole,
the highest in our list of high tariff
enactments. 1t is no comfort to a
drowning man in forty feet of wa ter to
be tool that just back of him the water
was forty-one feet deep. It is 40
comfort to the consumer submerged
by import duties of 40, or 100, or sew
eral hundred per cent, to he told that a
microscope will discover a fractional
change Of per cent here and there
when in fact hosiery, gloves and cloth
ing bear Increased duties"

How do you account for the fact that
the Pharisees, the religious teachers of
that day, had such narrow views Of the
Sabbath and We're SO critical with
Jesus?
IF Jesus were to come to this country

the clergy and the churches? (This

his acts and dissent from many of his
utterances. They are particularly at

For them to give him blanket in
