Publicity for Trusts'
Apnrt from all the legal phases of
tho question, one rock upon which
Stnndnrd Oil has broken is its long
policy of persistent secrecy. Hero is a
monstrously big corporation doing busi
ness all ovor tho world and yet it
never makes public any statement of
its earnings whatsoever.
Stnndnrd Oil has been earning net
$80,000,000 or more ovory year, but no
ono, not oven its own stockholders ex
cept n few high ones knows how. A
defiance of public sentiment for many
years brought around tho Standard
antagonisms such as other and oven
Inrgcr concerns, like tho United States
steel, do not suffer.
Steel's manngors saw tho vital mis
take made by oil's manngors in their
policy of oxtremo secrecy nnd went tho
limit the othci way. Publicity has
been n characteristic fenturo of United
States Bteel, and Its quarterly roports
go into the fullest dotnils.
Tho people like to sco and know what
is going on . Thoy may not redd annual
reports, but they want tho opportunity
to do so. Standard Oil would novel'
let even Wall street look Into its books
sufficiently to hnvo the shares listed on
tho stock exchange.
Wo believe that trust managers will
some day learn, what others know al
ready, thnt publicity is their Bafoty and
not n peril. Philadelphia Press.
