It was the result, probably, of a combination of modesty and nervousness which the audience re- pected, although unable to control its laughter.

Mr. Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal in the cause of economic reform has been in no wise abated by the panic which he and his kind did so much to bring on, is out with an answer to President Moffett, of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. The publication of this answer, it is officially given out, was delayed sev- eral weeks, “for business reasons,” because It was not deemed advisatle to- further excite the public mind, which was profoundJy disturbed by the crisis. Now that the storm cloutis have rolled by, however, the Commissioner rushes again {nto the fray. Our readers remember that the chief points in the defense of the Standard Oil Company, as presented by President Moffett, were (1) that the rate of six cents on oil from Whiting to East St. Louis had been issued to the Standard Oil Company as the lawful rate by employes of the Alton, (2) that the 18-cent rete on file with the Interstate Commerce Commission was a class and not a commodity rate, never being intended ‘to apply to oil, (3) that oil was shipped in large quantities between Whiting and Bast St. Louts over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at six and one-fourth cents per hundred pounds, which has been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission as the lawful rate, and (4) that the 18-cent rate on oil was entirely out of proportion to lawful rates on other commodi- ties between these points of a similar character and of greater value, such, for example, as linseed oil, the lawful rate on which was eight cents. President Mof- fet also stated that thousands of tons of freight had bu t by other shippers between these points un- stantially the same conditions as governed the shir ments of the Standard Oil Company. The defence of the Standard Oil Company was wide- ly quoted and has undoubtedly exerted a powerful in- fluence upon the public mind. Naturally the Admin- tration, which has staked the success of {ts campaign avainst the “trusts” upon the result of its attack upon this company, endeavors to offset this influence, and ce the new deliverance of Commissioner Smith. Ve need hardly to point out that his rebuttal argu- ment is extremely weak, although as strong, no doubt, as the circumstances would warrant. He answers the points made by President Moffett substantially as fol- (1) The Standard Oil Company had a traffic d should have known that the six-cent been filed, (2) no answer, (3) the Chi- cago stern Illinois rate was a secret rate be- cause it read, not from Whiting, but from Dolton, which is described as “a village of about 1,500 popu- lation just outside of Chicago, Its only claim to note is that it has been for many years the point of origin and similar secret rates.” The Commissioner describing this rate that there was a note attached stating that the rate could also be used from Whiting, The ey has quite generally hailed this statement sioner of Corporations as a conclusive what is evidently recognized as the nt advanced by the Standard, nclusive as the remain. > lows departme | rate had nd of uttal argu is as weak and der of his argument.

Whiting, where the oil freight originates, 1s not on the lines of the Chicago and Eastern lilinols, which receives its Whiting f from the Belt Line at Dolton. The former practice, now discontinued, in filing tariffs was to make them read from a point on the line of the filing road, and it was also general to state on the same sheet that the tariff would apply to other points, e. g., Whiting. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois followed this pra filing its rate from Dolton and making a note on the sheet that it applied to Whiting. This was in 1895 when this method of filing tariffs was in common use. Now let us see in what way the intending shipper of oil could be misled and deceived by the fact that the Chicago and Eastern Ilinols had not filed a rate reading from Whiting. Commissioner Smith c tends that “concealment is the only motive for such a circuitous arrangement,” 1. e., that this method of filing the rate was intended to mislead intending com- petitors of the Standard Oil Company. such a prospective oil refiner had applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the rate from Chicago to East St. Louls over the Chicago and €astern Ill he would have been informed that the only rate f with the commission by this company was 614 ce Suppose from Dolton, and he would have been further in- indeed he did not know this already, that So. formed, this rate applied throughout Chicago territory. that whether he wished to locate his plant at Whi or anywhere else about Chicago, under an arr ment of long standing, and which applies to all the industrial towns in the neighborhood of Chicagc could have his freight delivered over the Belt Line to the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at Dolton and trans. ported to East St. Louis at a rate of 614 cents. Where then {s the concealment which the Commissioner of Corporations makes so much of? Any rate—from Dolton on the Eastern Illinois, or Chappell on the Al- ton, or Harvey on the Illinois Central, Blue Is! on the Rock Island, applies throughout Chicago terri- tory to shipments from Whiting, as to shipments from any other point in the district. So far from the Eastern Illinois filing its rate from Dolton in order to deceive the shipper, it Is the Commissioner of Corporations who either betrays his gross igno- rance of transportation customs in Chicago territory or relies on the public ignorance of these customs t deceive the public too apt to accept unquestioningly every statement made by a Government official as necessarily true, although,.as in the present instance, a careful examination shows these statements to be false. The final point made by President Moffett that other commodities of a character similar to oil were carried at much lower rates than 18 cents, the Com- missioner of Corporations discusses only with the remark that “the ‘reasonableness’ of this rate is not in question. The question is whether this rate consti- tuted a discrimination as against other shippers of oil,” and he also makes much of the failure of Pres'- dent’ Moffett to produce before the grand Jury evi- dence of the alleged illegal acts of which the Standard Oil official sald that other large shippers in the ter- New York's Greatest Sale THIS SALE OF THE TIMES Overcoats & Suits and $25.
