And that is not all. Standard Oil
absolutely controls the following rail-

age of 1928, total stock of 1898, 900,

All this grew from the little $4,000

How was this done? BY shrewd
business management partly and by
fortunate investments partly; but it
is significant that the wonderful ac-

its first eight years, when IL is pre-

was done, the company grew slowly;

the rebate method and the crushing

THE MAGNITUDE OF
THE STANDARD OIL
Tampa Tribune.



In discussing the Standard Oil de-
cision, few writers or takers seem to
realize the extent of this great cor
poration, which isn't confined to the
monopolization of the oil trade by any
manner of means. Oil is now only
a part of it's business. Through it's
years of successful manipulation, dis
elimination and extortion it has sue
ceeded in making oil only a means to
an end and from the domination of the
oil cans of the country, it has grown
to a practical domination of its trusts,
its railroads and it's banking institu-
tons.
Standard Oil had it's beginning away
back in 1862, with a capital of $4,000.
Its present nominal capital of S202,
23S,70 From 1862 to 1870 it grew from
100000 and from 1870 to 1899 in
creased it's capital two hundred fold.
The rebate practice was inaugurated
in 1870; and it is significant that in
the ensuing ten years, its capital leap
ed from 100000 to $4,000, 600 It be-
came a trust in 1882, when it COM
bined thirty-siX companies under one
head, They represent assets of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
and its constituent companies are
S121, 631, S12.
Its dividends increased from SS.150,-
900 in 1879 to $4S000,O 900 in 1901.
These are the figures of the oil busi-
ness solely. When we go beyond the
oil business and inquire into the ex-
tent of the other interests dominated
by the Standard Oil, We find that the
figures we have been dealing in are
mere bagatelles-
Standard Oil controls the following
trusts: Amalgamated Copper. Ma
tional Salt, American Smelling and
Refining. International Pump, Consol-
idate Gas, Peoples Gas of Chicago,
Brooklyn Union Gas, Agricultural
Chemical The combined capital of
these interests including Standard Oil
itself, is s427, 900, 600.

CAMPHOR TREE
CAN Be GROWN
IN THIS STATE
EXPERTS OF DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE DISCUSS NEW
INDUSTRY OPEN TO FLORIDA,
AND ONE WHICH WILL MAKE
UNITED STATES INDEPENDENT
OF FOREIGNERS.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, May 22.-Experiments
conducted for several years by the
department of agriculture have pro-
crossed to a point where it seems
likely there is a new industry open
to the south, and one that will make
the United States independent of a
foreign camphor supply. In a paper
that has just been issued by Profess
sor Rodney True and S. G. Hood, re-
suits in Florida are discussed and the
conclusion is reached that camphor
production in this country is practical
and can be made profitable.
japan now furnishes the bulk of the
camphor in the worlds trade. The
most of it comes from Fornosa, but a
small quantity is brought from the
mainland Of China.
The practical point is that the cam
phor monopoly produces about $780,
600 pounds of camphor annually. OF
this there are imported into the United
States from 100000 to 100000
pounds. Owing to the operations of
the camphor monopoly, the price is
subjetc to violent fluctuations. In the
past three years it has varied between
Sill and so cents a pound.
1t has been found that camphor
trees can be grown in Florida and the
gulf states and that the tree is hardy
to Is degrees Fahrenheit.
In the experiments that have been
made 50 far in the south the trees
have not been cut down, but have
been planted in hedge rows and trim
med, the trimmings being used to pro-
duce gum camphor and oil. There
were cuttings utilized last year from
1000 trees.
1t is said that it is not an industry
that can be successfully handled by a
small farmer. Two hundred acres is
the minimum size of q grove that
would warrant erecting a distillery
and 500 acres would be better.
The experiments have not gone far
enough to show just what yield could
be expected per acre, but from the
trees that have so far been utilized IT
probably would be from IT'S to zoo
pounds of camphor per acre.
One advantage of the prospective
camphor farm is that the trees will
grow we'll on soil that is too poor and
sandy to be fit for much else. and the
mere matter of getting land for a grove
would be a comparatively small ex-
penSe.
