Federal Trade Commission
Reports There Is No Real
Competition in the Case
line Industry in United
States.
STANDARD STILL IN
ABSOLUTE CONTROL
Community Of Stock Owner
ship Responsible for Con-
ditions and Legislation to
Meet the Situation Is
Strongly Recommended.

Washington, April 24.-That Stand
Oil interests substantially dominate
| the gasoline industry was the finding
of the federal trade commission
transmitted in it's report to the SEN
ate today.
Refining, pipe line transportation
and marketing of the finished prod
uct, the commission declares, are con-
trolled by the "oil octopus"
Real competition does not exist be-
tween the various Standard Oil COM
panies because of fnterlocking stock
ownership through majority share
holdings by Identical interests, the re-
port says. Despite the dissolution of
the so-called "oil trust by the SUI
preme court, the commission has con-
cluded that Standard Oil domination
has a fundamental bearing on gaso-
line prices, declared to have been ar
bitrarily increased.
LEGISLATION URGED.
Legislation to meet the conditions is
strongly recommended by the COM
mission. Standard Oil refineries pro-
duced more than so per cent in 1915,
sold about So per cent of that mar
keted and held more than 70 per cent
of all gasoline stocks. Wholesale
prices rose Is per cent in 1915, the re-
port says, and retail prices also scared.
Demand increased 3s per cent and pro-
duction nearly as much, showing that
the advance in price~was only partially
due to increased demand. The princi-
pal findings of the commission are:
That Standard Oil companies
dominate majority of marketing
territories"
That no substantial COMPETE
ton exists among the several
Standard companies"
THAT the absence of COMPETE
ton is due to a community of
stock ownership
That such advances in prices
and big differences in price cor
responding to standard markets,
cannot be explained apart from
the foregoing conditions
That the combination of pipe
lines with other branches of the
industry has tended to establish
a perpetual monopoly"
That gasoline has deteriorated
in quality. a variety of products

REMEDIES SUGGESTED.

recommendations of the commits
sion made with a view of preventing
or remedying the conditions include
the abolition, by legislation, in certain
cases of common stock ownership in
corporations which have been members
of a combination dissolved under the
Sherman law, the segregation of pipe
line ownership from other branches of
the petroleum industry and the fixing
by congressional legislation of gaso-
line standards.
The commission cites as a factor in
Standard Oil domination the fact that
more than half of the stock in the va
rious companies is owned by the same
individuals or interests. 1t is claimed
that nine of the II territorial divis-
ions of the gasoline market are DOM
mated by the various Standard COM
panies.

Chicago, April 24.-Two hundred
carloads Of eggs, containing be-
tween 10000 and 100000 cases of
80 dozen each, were standing on
tracks In Chicago, today, held by
spectators and operators who are
said to be making the MARKET

Dillon. commissioner of New York.
is authority for that statement. He
said he believed the law, of supply
and demand has very little to do
with the present price of eggs.
EGGS NOT MUNITIONS.
Egg kings, potato kings and 9TH
er kings are to blame for most of
our high cost of foods" he said.
They can't use eggs for munitions
in Europe"
Emerson said that four years ago
the Pacific coast imported 100000
cases OF eggs from Kansas, Ne
braska, Minnesota and the Da-
kotas. This year, he said, the coast
not only will supply it's own de-
mands but will ship between $4,000
and 100000 cases east And, he
added. Chicago is paying more for
eggs and some other foods than
London or Liverpool. He said there
is no evidence of an egg trust"
but he is sure there is a close "un-
Outstanding" among the big deal
ers.

THE husband who kisses his wife
rlentifully keeps out of the divorce

MURNANE WAS A
CONSPICUOUS FIGURE

New York, Feb. 22-One of the
most conspicuous and venerable fig
ures in baseball passed when Tim Muir
name died recently. The snow-white
mustache and hair Of the veteran base
ball editor of the Boston Globe, his
booming voice and his inspiring per-
sonality were points at baseball gath
erings never to be forgotten.
/. Murnane's death will be mourned
qenerally by baseball players-not
only in the majors, but in the smaller
circuits. From the days when he left
his position on the field to take up
the task of writing his views on the
national game and heading baseball
league, Murnane valiantly fought for
the players cause. No cause was too
deeply involved, nothing too strong
for the veteran to undertake.
Murnane started as famous ball
rlayer. He was member of the Ath-
letics, who toured Europe in 1874
Later he was a member of the Hart
ford team and at one time managed
and played first base for the Boston
Union.
Murnane had the reputation of hav.
ing discovered more players who made
good as stars than any other man in

onciler." Thousands of unhappy homes
made happy by his kiss recipe are to
his credit.-Editor.)
By Thomas F. Graham
(Superior Court Judge of San Fran
cisco)
Written for the United Press)
When your wife and you fall out,
Don't strut about and shout,
Don't growl at her or scowl at her
or hiss her;
You will find it doesn't pay;
Try your luck another way;
Just take her in your arms and gen.
tly kiss her.
When your wife and you must fight
Make her think she's in the right;
Don't rush off to the club, where you
will miss her;
I Should a fight with wifey start,
You will play the big mans part
If you take her in your arms and gen.
tly kiss her.
The kiss of husband is pledge
of his love for his wife.
I have advised men to kiss their
wives. I have not advised wives to
kiss their husbands.
The kiss that wife gives to her
husband does not mean as much to
the husband as the kiss that hus-
hand gives to his wife.
To husband kiss is only kiss.
Man only wants to be loved; he isn't
particular about being perpetually told
that he is being loved.
To a wife kiss is more than the
mere meeting of lips. A woman isn't
content merely with being loved. She
wants to be continually told that she
is being loved.
A husband is telling and retelling
his wife of his love every time he
kisses her. A woman is happy every
time she is given a reaffirmation of
her husbands love with kiss. A
woman who is conscious of her hus-
bands love will make all necessary
sacrifices for her husband, will bear
every trial willingly, will strive to
avoid every quarrel. A woman is con-
scious of her husbands love when her
husband kisses her frequently.
To many wives kiss only means
'Good-bye." To others it is only equiv
alent to "Hello." But the kisses that
are given when the husband is not
either going or coming mean much
more. They are expressions of love,
for which every wife is
yearning.
know of only one variety of kiss
the kiss of a pure man for a pure
women. l care not whether it be
planted on the forehead, the cheek or
the lips-the kiss of husband to his
wife is the re-pledge, the reaffirma-
ton of his love. If more husbands
would kiss their wives more frequent
ly the judges who have to try divorce
cases wouldn't be so far behind in
their work. And the divorce lawyers
would starve to death.
