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. The whole strength
of the Government is directed against It, and
at last, we art- told, the Standard Oil Com
pany is to pay tho penally of its? crlmcs, and
it is finally convicted of 'having failed lo
verify the statement of a rate clerk and is
forthwith fined a prodigious sum, measured
by tho car. t'nder the old criminal law, the
theft of property worth more than a shilling
was punishable by deaih. I'nder the Inter
pretation of tho Interstate Commerco law
by Theodore 'Roosevelt and Judge Ken^&uw
Laudls, n technical error <>f a traffic olil"lnl
is made the excuse for Uie confis^atl?!) Vf ?
vast amount of property.
