Commissioner Smith vs. The Standard Oil Co. From the 'Railway World, January $, igoS. Mr. Herbert Knox Health, whose r.eal In the rauMtc* of economic reform has been In no wise ab&trd by tho panic which h<? find blH klud did so much to bring on, U out with an an swer to I'rftuidont Moffott, of tho Standard Oil Company of Indiana. Tho publication of this aiiHwor, it la officially given out, was de layed several Mfeeks, "for business reafronH," bocauso It was not deemed advisable to further oxclle tho public mind, which waa profoundly disturbed hy tho crisis. Now that the storm clouds have rolled by, however, the Commissioner rushes again into tho fray. Our readers remember ttiat tho chief points In tho defence of tho Standard Oil Company, as presented by President Moffott, wore, (1) that tho rate of nix cents on oil from Whiting to Kast St Louis has been is sued to tho .Standard Oil Company as the lawful rate hy employes* of tho Alton, (2) that the I S-eent rate on Hie with the Inter state (lommorcp Commleslon was a class and not a commodity rate, never being Intended to apply to oi|, (U) that oil was shipped in largo quantities between Whiting and Kast 8t. I.oui over tho 'Chicago and Hasten* Illinois at six anu oiie-/ourtb cents per hua dred pounds, which has been tiled with the Interstate Commerce Commission as the law ful rate, and (4) that tho 1 8-eent rate on oil was entirely out of proportion to lawful rates on other commodities between theso points of a similar character, and of greater value, such, for example, as linseed oil, tho lawful rate on which was eight cents. President Moffott also stated that thousands of tons of freight had been sent hy other shippers be tween these points under substantially tho same conditions as governed tho shipments of the Standard Oil Company. This dofonce of tho Standard Oil Company was widely quoted and lias undoubtedly ex erted a powerful influence upon tho publio mind. Naturally tho Administration, which has staked tho success of its campaign against the "trusts" upon the result of its at tack upon this company, endeavors to offset this influence, and hence the new deliverance of Commissioner Smith. We need'hardly to point out that his re buttal argument, is extremely weak, although as strong, i>o doubt, as the circumstances would warrant, lie answers the points made by President Moffott substantially as follows: (1) The Standard Oil Company had a traflic department, and should have known that tho six-cent rate had not been tiled, ',2) no an swer, (3) tiie Chicago and Eastern Illinois rate was a secret rate because it read, not from Whiting, but from Dolton, which la described .-is "a village of about 1,500 popu lation lust outside of Chicago. Its only claim to Hole i-s that it has boon for many years the point of origin for this and similar secret rates." The Commissioner admits in describing this rate that there was a note attached stating that the rate could also be used from Whiting. The pre us has (|iiite generally hailed this statement of tho Commissioner of Corpora tions as a conclusive refutation of what is evidently recognized as the strongest rebuttal argument advanced by the Standard. In fa"t, it. is as weak and inconclusive as the remainder of his argument. The lines of (he Chicago and Eastern Illinois do not run Into Chicago. They terminate ?it Dolton, from which point entrance Is made over the Holt Line. "Whiting, where the oil freight originate*, iu not os the lines of the Chicago ana Eastern Illinois, which receives Its Whit ing freight from the Dolt Lino at Dolton. The former practice, now discontinued. In filing tariff# was to make them read from a point on the tho line ot the filing road, and It was ftlao general to state on the same sheet, that the tariff would apply to other points, o. g., Whiting Tho Chicago and Eaatern Illinois followed this practice in filing its rate from Dolton, and making a note on the sheet (hat is applied to Whiting. This was in 18'J5 when this method of filing tariffs was in common use. Now let uh see In what way the Intending shipper of oil could he misled and deceived by tho fact that the Chicago and . Eastern Illinois had not filed ft rate reading from Whiting. Commissioner Smith contends that "concealment is tho only motive for such a circuitous arrangement," l. e,, that thin method of filing the rate was intended to mislead Intending competitors of the Stand ard Oil Company. Sunuose such a prospec tive oil refiner had applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the rate from Chicago to East St. l-<jnls over the Chicago and l^fttitnrn Illinois, ho would have been ln forjped that tho only rate filed with the c/fuimlaslon by thla company was 6 Vi cents Jfrom Dolton, and he would have been further informed, If Indeed he did not know this al ready, that this rate applied throughout Chi cago territory. So that whether lie wished to locate his plant at Whiting, or anywhere elso about Chicago, under an arrangement of long standing, and which applies to all the indus trial towns In tho neighborhood of Chicago, ho could havo his freight delivered over tho Helt Lino to the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at Dolton and transported to East St. Louis at n rate of 6 % cents. Where then Is the concealment which the Commissioner of Cor porations nitres so much of? Any rate? from Dolton on tho Eastern Illinois or Chap poll 011 tho Alton, or Harvey on tho Illinois Central, or Blue Island on tho Rock Island, applies throughout ChTcago territory lo ship ments from Whiting, as to shipments from any other point in tho district. So far from tho Eastern Illinois filing Its rate from Dol ton in order to decelvo tho shipper, it is the Commissioner of Corporations wiio either lie trays his gross ignorance of transportation customs in Chicago territory or relies 011 tho public ignorance of these customs to deceive tho public too apt to accept unquestloningly every statement made by a Government official as necessarily true, although, as in the present instance, a careful examination shows those statements lo be false. The final point made by President Atoffett that other commodities of a character similar to oil were carried at much lower rates \han 18 cents, the Commissioner of Corporations discusses only with tho remark that "tho 'reasonableness' of this rate is not in ques tion. The question is whether this rale con stituted a discrimination as against other shippers of oil," and he also makes much of the failure of President Moffett to produce before the grand jury evidence of the alleged, illegal acts of which the Standard Oil oi'ib'.inl said that other large t-hippers in tho terri lory bid b?en guilty. Co!V?ld4ir1ag that theae shippers Included tho packers ?nd elevator men of Chicago the action of thf grand Jury In calling upon President Moffett to furnish evidence of their wrong-doing may be interpreted as a demand for au elabora? tlon of tbo obvious; but tbo fact that a rata* book containing these freight rates for othe? shippers was offered In evidence during th? trial and ruled out by Judge Landls, *?l kept out of sight. President Moffett would not, of courso, accept the Invitation of ttaCi grand Jury although he might have been pardoned If he had referred tbom to varloul olilolal investigations by the Interstate Com merce CominlsMlon and other department# of tho Government. We come back, therefore, to the conclusion of tho whole matter, which Is that the Stand aid Oil Company of Indiana wan lined an amount equal to seven or eight times tlie value of Its entire property, because Its traffic department did not verify the statement of tho Alton rate clerk, that tho six-cent com modity rate on oil had beeu properly filed with tho Interstate C- mmerce Commission. There in no evidence, and none was intro duced at tho trial, that any shipper cf el! from Chicago territory had been Interfered with by tho eighteen-cent rate nor that the falluro of the Alton to file Its blx-cent rate had rosulted in any discrimination against any Independent shipper,?\y? must take this on tho word of the Commissioner of Cor porations and of Judge Lund is. ' Kelt her is It denied even by Mr. Smith tha^tho "inde pendent" shipper of oil, whom heX>iuMires an bolng driven out of business by thf* tliscrlin inatlon of the Alton, could have shipped all tho oil ho desired to ship from WJiitlng via I)olton over the lines of tho Chicago and Kastorn Illinois to Kast. St. Louis. In short, President Moffett's defence is still good, and we predict will be declared so by Ihe higher court. Tho Standard Oil Company has been charged with all manner of crimes and mis demeanors. beginning with the famous Rico of Marietta, pausing d<%ut to that'^anostlo of popular liberties, Henry Demares r- Upyd, with his Wealth Against tho Commonwealth, descending by easy stages to Miss TarhelVs offensive personalities, we finally reach tho nether depths of unfair and baseless mis representation in tho report of the Commis sioner of Corporations. The Standard has been charged with every form of commercial piracy and with most of the crimes on the corporation calendar. After long years of fitronuous attack, tinder the leadership of tho President of tho United States, tho corpora tion is at last dragged to tho bar of Justice to answer for itn misdoings.
