DEFECTS IN NEBRASKA'S ' OIL INSPECTION HlAtnry of it Ijiw thut Wu * IMmril to Ac- uoinmiuliuo 1111 Oil .Monopoly I'olltlcs ICutliur thiin rrullclcnuy thu Ten i lur Oil liiupcctori , Two years ngo THE HEE convinced its read ers 'n n series of artlolos that ttio Nobraslcn japuctioii law was not being enforced , and that iho so-called otllchil inspections were so fraudulent na to ronclor thorn far- ck-al , so far as affording the people of the state any protection from low grade oils was concerned. The expose was a revelation to the people of the state , who up to that tuna had not droamodot the allpalioJ manner in which thu business of the otl inspection depart ment was conducted , and it will now bo ninvs to them to learn that thij condition of affairs in this respect is about as bad as it was then , and , furthermore , that It is get ting no better vary fust. TllRT : HUB will again attempt to prove to the pcoulo of the stuto that they nro being Imposed upon moat shamelessly , ana thai under the system of Inspection , as now con ducted , they are dally using oil that will not gland llio test required by the atutu law , thereby Incurring an awtul risk to lifo and nronurty. That a thorough understanding of the sit uation may bo had It may bo advisable tenet not forth quite fully a history of ttio legisla tion on this subject in this state , with u rc- sunmof the latv as it now stands on the Btiitmo hooks , to show how greatly inferior it is in its vital features to the oil inspection law of Iowa ; how it is possible for oil re jected In that stuto to bo shipped into Ne braska and approved for use as II is I class oil , us has been done times without number ; liow thu law has pracliually driven out com petition and thrown the business into thu liaudsof the Standard Oil monopoly ; how employes of thu latter corporation are en abled to do just about us they please in handling and trading oil ; how consumers are coin polled to burn oil Unit never passed under the eyes of an inspector ; how numer ous tires and occasional fatalities result from the explosion of low grade oil in kcro- 8cnu lamps all of them matters of almost dally occurrence und happening simply be cause of defects in the law and thu careless and criminal manner in which its enforce ment la ignored. i KeKUliitltiR the Kiiln of Oil , ' The llr.st attempt of the Nebraska legisla ture to effect needed legislation in the truy uf regulating the sale of illuminating oils was in 1883. when a law was passed , which wont into effect May 1 of that year. It was ileclarcd to bo unlawful for any person to offer for sale for Illuminating purposes , either us agonu or otherwise , any mineral or petroleum , or lluiu or substance which was a product of petroleum , without llrst te tliiK the same uy placing not less than hplf a pint of the oil in it small cup ant heating the same gradually at a rate of not moro than two degrees per minute. The temperature was to bo determined by a Fahrenheit thermometer placed in the oil After the oil hud been subjected to heat a lighted match or other taper was to bo ap tilled to the surface with such frequency nnd in such mnuneras to determine the exac tmuperaturo at which the oil would emit a vupor thut would ignite. If such a trub should bo emitted at a tern peraturo below 110 = Fahrenheit the pll was to bo declared dangerous , and it wa made unlawful to sell or offer the * same fo nale. The penalty was a line of not loss than $100 or imprisonment in thu county jail for a time not exceeding twenty day * , or both , in the discretion of tl'o ' court , sud the party uonvlutod was to pay the costs of the prose lutloa. As the provisions of the Uw governed tu sale of oil in any quantity loss than a barrel , as well as by barrels or tunic loads , it reached the retail dealer , who had hardly the time and perhans not the patiencn or skill to prouerly inspect and test the dancor- ous fluid. Certain it is that the retailers 'found it impossible , to comply with the pro visions of thu law bv actually inspecting thoU > U themselves , and they took their chances n placing confidence in the jobbers with vhom they did business. Isiiarcit thu Law Kiulrcly , Although tlio law was severe on parties vho violated it , it was so flagrantly ignored is to become n dead letter. None of the vholesalo dealers made any pretense of xmiplyiug with its provisions , although the aw specified that if any person sustained lamago to property or injury to person by failure on the part of a vendor of oil to com- ily with the requirements of iho act , the alter was held responsible to the former or the damage so sustained. The violator was also made guilty of manslaughter in case death attended the violation of the aw , and all contracts made in violation of the law were declared Illegal , and th'pur - chaior of oil below the standard of 110 ° could return the same to the seller at the expense of the latter , whiln the buyer should also have recourse for damage against the seller. Possibly one reason why the retailers .rusted so Implicitly to the wholesalers was because it was rarely possible to find a bar rel that did not have u branded standard ranging from 150 ° to 175s1 Fahrenhnit. It uus , however , a wcllkttown tnot thut in this branding fanciful standards wcro estab lished , und thut moro frequently than other wise the oil thus thrown upon the market could hardly stand a Hush test of moro than 80 ° Fahrenheit. There wore scores of dea 1- ors , and each had his own brand und marked il according to u standard which ho decided upon himself. Thousands of gallons were sold and consumed , the quality of which was so poor that it was u foregone con clusion that disaster must attend its use. Numerous conflagrations followed its at tempted consumption , not Infrequently fol lowed by loss of life. Strnngo as it may appear , however , the .percentage of fatali ties was no greater than it has been for Homo time past , showing that the quality of oil now in use lu the state can bo but little , if any , better than was retailed under the old law. Whether this condition Is duo to defect ; in the present law or to the lax manner in which inspection is conducted will remain to bo iluterminou after all the facts are presented. It was not at all strange that with affairs as they then \vero the people clamored for another oil inspection law , asking for some thing in the way of legislation that would give thorn a protection that would protect , nnd which woula , among other things , make It thu duty of some curtain Individual to at tend to iho inspection of nil oil offered for sale. This was a feature sadly missing in the law of 1BS5 , which , whllo requiring the fluid to be inspected , mada it the duly of uvery vendor to attend to it , and it was an other case of whore everybody's business was attended to by no one. Clniuor fur a New T.aiv. The popular clamor for a now law In creased , until the Consolidated Tank Line company saw that the people were fully aroused , and knew that they would not stand a continuation of the fraud that had been practiced upon them so persistently and shamelessly by the handlers of rejected foreign oil. They also saw that the occasion would afford them a aplmidici opportunity , because of their superior strength , influence and strategic ability , ta deal a telling blow to competing individuals and less powerful corporations that wcro engaged in bundling eili within the stuto. Tnls company accordingly affected to be heartily In favor ot the proposed law , osteu * hlbly for the advantage that it would bo to the people , but really from ulterior motives. When , therefore , a bill was introduced be fore the legislature in 1837 , it had the back- lug not only of the representatives of thu people but of the representatives of the cor porations as well. The rlnpsters who were in the employ of the Consolidated Tank Ltuo company did not openly declare themselves as in favor of the blll.aiu. apppeared to keep out of the flgui save on one occasion , when one full well that he would in this manner the more certafHly force its passage. When the billra placed upon its pas- sago It went through with a rush , ltit nine votes being recorded against It in the house , and there being no opposition whatever in the senate. It must not bo supposed that the oil com pany allowed the bill to become a law that would bo distasteful to thorn , for they suc cessfully opposed an effort that was made to have the minimum test remain at 1IO = , as it was in the old law. An attempt was then made to have the minimum fixed at 1053 , the same as the law now in force in Iowa , but again the tank line lobby allies on the floor got in their work and failurn was once mure the lot of the friends of an honest in spection law. Nothing moro than a minimum test ot 100 = Fahrenheit would satisfy the oil men , who stud ously kept themselves under cover , and that was the standard dually estab lished by the bill when it became n law. Few of the legislators know what oil in spection laws in other states nrovided and a majority of them were well satisfied to have the bill paSs oven in this way , believ ing that any system of inspection would bo a grout deal hotter than no inspection at all. 1'olUlolann IIH Inspector * . The law wont into effect July 1 , 1SS7 , and it was then discovered that In the selection of inspectors Governor Thuyer had no use whatever for experienced men , but had parceled out the places to a lot of wire pullers and politicians from various parts of the state. While the bill was pending a horde of aspirants had been seeking in- Iluenco to secure an aupoiutmont from the governor to the chief inspectorship , or to a place ns deputy , but the governor had de clared that for this important work ho would appoint only Intelli gent nnd experienced men. His action , therefore , in making the appointments ns a source of great dissatisfaction to the friends of an honest inspection , and sadly dlsuppoinlcd a largo number of the legis lators , who had voted for the bill not so much as n party measuto as a public neces sity Tlio appointments wore , on llio oilier liana , entirely satisfactory to the Tank Line and that monopoly took occasion to express - press its secret aprovul of the men selected for Inspectors. From that day to th'o present the inspect ors , with but few exceptions , huvo been of the same general description as these origi nally unpointed , some excelling others only as political ringstors , nnd.having previously had nothing whatever to do with tlio fluid they wore oxpvctcd to scientifically and honestly examine. With such inspectors , nnd with such a law ns was passed , the pcoplo were not cuaran- Iced lirsi class oil , neither was It certain that all the oil that cnmo into the state would bo inspected. About the only cer tainty was that willing tools of the oil mo nopoly would ( ill the berths that urgently demand the incumbency of honest men , and they have up to this tlmo filled ttio position so satisfactorily to thu power behind the throne that after their terms In an official capacity expired they have boon provided with sinecures , which they still hold. It is the purpose of Tim lliu : to show to what base uses these appointments have been prostituted , and that honest oil inspec tion in Nebraska is the exception nnd not the rule. Appended is a synopsis of thu oil Inspection law as it now appears on the statute books ; I'rovlsmns or the 1'reient Law. , It is provided thut all petroleum oil or any oil fluid that is the product ot petroleum , whether manufactured in this state or not , shall bo inspected before being offered for sale for illuminating purposes. Provision Is made for n chief inspector , who Is to ho ap pointed by thu covernor , and whoso term is to bo two years , and who must not-bo inter ested in manufacturing , selling or dealing in any of the oils mentioned. Ho is authorized to appoint not to exceed five deputies , who are also empowered to inspect oils. Inspect ors ana deputies are required to provide themselves with the stencils , brands and stamps necessary for the proper porformab a of their duties. It is the duty of these offl ciuls to inspect allollsoffcrcd for sale by any manufaolurer or dealer within the state U the oil meets the requirement of the ac they stencil the following words upon the package , barrel or cask containing the oil ' 'Approved , flash test degrees , " insortini in the blank space the actual number of dc greet at which the flash look place. Thin Is accompanied with the dale of the Inspection aud the name of the ofllcer making the tett The Inspectors are empowered to gate i t . i < J < > pen the promises of any manufacturer , vender or dealer in oils and insucct any oils ouna there for sale for illuminating pur- oses. Oils which do not comply with the cquiremcnts of the law are to bo marked 'Rejected for illuminating purposes. " OH marked "Approved" may be sold , but It is nado unlawful to dispose of oil inaruod "He- cctcd. " To offer such rejected oil for sale is loomed a misdemeanor , and is to bo pun- shed by a fine not to exceed 500 , In the dis cretion of the court. The lestlnsi apparatus to be used is what a known as" the Foster cup , thn one now used in the state of Ohio , and all oil is to bo ejected which omits a comhustlblo vapor at \ temperature of 100 = Fahrenheit. The state inspector must give a bond of ao.OOO , and each deputy in the sum of 5,000 , 'or the faithful performance of his duties. L'liey are entitled to receive 10 cents for every barrel inspected , and are required to ccop u record of all oil inspected , the amount rejected nnd the name of the party to whom the oil belonged , this record to bo open to the inspection of all persona interested. At the end of each month each deputy is required ; o forward to his chief a record of his work for tne month and the money ho has received 'or the same. In January of each year the chief inspector must forward to the gov ernor a reportofull oil inspected during the year bv himself or his ( ( opinion , The salary of the chief Inspector is $ ' ,000 , and that of each deputy $100 a month , this to bo paid wholly from the fees lor Inspecting oil , nnd where this is not sufficient the salaries must bo reduced pro r.vta. All fees in excess of this are to bu turneu into the state treasury. Any poi-son who shall sell illuminating oil n this stuto before iho same is Inspected shall bo lined not exceeding SiOO. A similar penalty is afllxed for falsel.v branding pack- igcs containing oil for the purnoso of deceiv ing purchasers'therof , or for ttio use of bar rels bearing an insncutor'a brand without Having the oil therein contained Ir.sjTCSteU , from $100 to $ JWO flno or six months Impris onment , or both. A flno of $10 Is imposed for disposing of an empty barrel without first erasing the Inspector's brand. Any person knowingly using oil for illuminating purposes before it has been inspected aud marked "Approved" is llablo to a line of from J' 0 to f 100. Any adulteration of oil HO as to make it unfit for use under the law is punishable by n flno not exceeding $ T > 00 era a year's Imprisonment , or both. Any one knowingly selling illuminating oil that is below pi-ado is liable to any person suffering therefrom any injury resulting from an explosion. Any inspector who shall traffic directly or Indirectly In oils shall bo fined not exceeding 500 und bo removed Irom his position , It is the duty of Inspect ors to make complaint of all violations of this law , und of county attorneys to prosecute - cute for the people. It Is made the duty of the governor to remove any Inspector who shall bo found mcompeumt-la the discharge of his duties , and the chiqf.inspeotor may re move any of his deputlc3for.-cnsoiiablQ cause , Forty years in the market with n constant increase in sales tells the tale for Cook's Ex tra Dry Imperial Chumpagno.

Sewell HIatt and Charles V. Randolph comprise a drug firm in Macomb , and they own some fine horses. Mr. Brown said ho iwncd two flno quarter sections of land n Cherokee county , Iowa. Ho showed an abstract of title in legal form.
