STANDARD OIL TRUST is FIGHT
ING FOR IT'S LIFE.

Most people fail to appreciate the
fact that the present national admin
istration has been throughout, and is
today, waging the most courageous
and relentless fight against the
gigantic trusts that the world has ever
seen Without noise or bluster or
proclaiming from the mountain tops
what he was going to do President
Taft through the legal department of
the government has been vigorously
prosecuting his policy of enforcing the
provisions of the Sherman anti trust
law, from the time ne came into
possession of the reins IF government.
The most powerful and mighty of
all the trusts, the old grand daddy of
them all-The Standard Oil, has been
pursued from one court to another by
the government. until now the final
and titanic struggle is in progress
in the Supreme Court of the United
States, and upon the decision render
ed in the present contest may not only
OORChO luO NuOSbAOu VI WuOLn0I LIS

dissolved, but whether eventually all
trusts shall be put out Of business or
brought under some sort of strict
government regulation that will put
an end to the restraint Of trade and
the throttling Of independent competi,

The ablest lawyers in the United
States are arrayed against one another
on the two contending sides in this
great case.
In closing his summary of the case
for the trust Attorney Milburh said
Damned for anything but praised
for nothing, is the way the Standard
Oil has been treated by the govern
ment. In it's record covering forty
years Of business, everything the
Standard has ever done is related.
1t has done some things in strenuous
times that it should not have done;
that was human. It has done nothing
that goes to the issue here.
The evil of the afirmance of this
decree the decision in the Federal
court that he trust should be dissolv

be monstrUus. 1t is fortunate that
the case is left in the hands Of a court
that listens to reason and never hears
the voice Of passion and prejudice. !"
In opening the case for the govern
ment Frank 3. Kellogg special pros
ecutor, one Of the ablest trust
busters of them all, declared that
The Standard Oil Co is lowering
over the country like Ozark cloud,
and that with the fear Of the law
removed the corporation would put
every independent concern in the
country out of business in five years -
have listened to the story he
said, of how the Standard Oil was
the result of natural growth guided
by the master mind OF Mr. Rookie
Teller. But [ mean to tell to the
court the cold facts. And I say on
my oath as member Of this bar, and
[ regard that highly, that the equal
Of this record IN oppression is not to
be found in the commercial history Of
this country I distrust my ability to
present these facts. -
Mr.. Milburn does not know this
record as [ do, he said HE did
not sit for 1877 weary days as those
20, 900 pages of record were being
written. -
Mr.. Kellogg went over the early
years of the Standards business lead :
ing up to the central point Of the
present controversy, the reorganiza-
tion of the Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey in 1899. He characterized this
reorganization as amounting to the
substitution Of one illegal form of
holding together the oil companies for
another illegal form. The first was
the trust of 1882 with it's several
trustees and the second, the STANDARD
Of New Jersey. =
When Mr.. Kellogg reached the
trust agreement Of 1882, whereby the
stock of the owners of various oil
companies was put into the hands Of
trustees. he was interrupted by
Justice Holmes.
That sort of agreement was quite
common in New England, " the justice
remarked.
~ have no doubt Of that, replied
Mr. Kellogg THE trust agreement
WIS copied by the sugar trust,
which was declared illegal in New
York; by the 'whiskey trust, !" which
was declared illegal in Illinois; by
the lead trust, which was declared
illegal in Missouri The plan has
been condemned as in restraint Of
trade in every state of the union. =

Coach Fred Bennion OF the university,

therefore they are eligible for considera-

There are very few players this sea-
son who have starred particularly and
the selection OF allstar teams has been
no easy matter. The two players who
have displayed marked knowledge OF the
game and exceptional ability are Lund

sive players and dangerous men In a
game. Lund Is the best all-aroupd player
