Garlleld , commlHslon- ar of corporations , giving the results Dt his Investigation ot the subject of transllOrtation / freight rntcs In connection wIth the all Industry. \ In bls message the president ex- Dresses the view that the report Is of : apItal Importance because of the et- Cart now being made to secure such enla.rgement at the powers of the Interstate - terstate commerce commlsBlon 118 will center upon the commission power In lome measure adequate to meet the clearly demonstrated needs of the sit- uation. 'fhe facts set forth In the re- Dort , ho declares , are for the most part aot dl puted. 'I'hat the Standard 011 company has benellted enormously up almost to tbe present moment by secret - cret rates , many ot which were cloar- I Iy unlawful , the president says the report - I port clear1 ' shows. Abolish Secrat Rates. The preslden t then says : A very striking result at the Investigation - tigation has been that horUy after I the discovery of these secret rates by the commissioner of corporations the major portion at them was promptly corrected by the railroads , In that most of them have now been done " , way wIth. This Immediate correction - tion , partial or complete , of the evil : If the secret rates Is , at course , on the Dne hand an aclcnowledgment that they wete wrong r.nd yet were per- I yored In until exposed ; and , on the Dther hand , a proot of the efficiency of Lbo work that. has been done by the bureau of corporationB. "Dut In addition to these secret rates the Standard 011 profits 1m- monsely by alIen rates , which are so lrrnnged as to give It an overwhelmIng - Ing advantage over Its Independent competitors. " Con rols the Market. 'Il Is not posslblo , he sa's , to put Into figures the exnct amount by which the Standard profits through the gross favorltlslU showll It by the railroads In connection wIth the open rates. "The prollt , at course , comes not merely by the saving In the rate Itself as compared with Its competItors - Itors , but by the higher prices It .8 II.blo to charge and by the complete control of the marltet which It secures - cures , thereby getting the profit on tlle whole consumption. " There Are OthC'rs. It Is untortunatel ' not true , he says , that the Standard all company Is the Dnly corporation which hils benefited and Is benelltlng In wholly Improper fashion by an elaborate sorice of rate COMMISSIONER JAMES U. OAIU'lJJLU. : discriminations. The sugar trust , he adds , according to the results of the Invostlgatlon now In progress , rarely It ever paj's the lawtul rate for transportation - portation , lie declares that In the ef- tort to prevent the railroads trom uniting for Improper purposes "we have very unwlsoly prohibited them trom uniting for proper lmrposes ; that Is , for purlJOles of protecting themselves - selves and the general pUblic as against the power at the great cor- porations. " Correotlonary Measures. He favors as an element of competition - tition the passage of some such law I\B that which has already passed the house , putting alcohol used In the arts and manufactures upon the free list and of kesplng the tee to all and coal lands of the IntLl ' 1 tribes or on the pUblic domain In the government , the lands to be leased only on such terms and for such period" us will enable the government to entirely control them. TRANSPORTATION GREAT FACTOR IN COMP ION. In summarizing his report Oommill- ' lSoner Garfteld speaka of his personal - visit to the 01\ \ fields allli of the great mass of data obtained hy him either porsonl111y or through ugonts at the bureau at corporationH. 'rhe prellml- 1H1rj' study of this material , he says , sl10wetl that the most Important subject - ject was transportation , which enters so largely Into the coc at furnished I I product and hence n most Important factor In competition. " 'rho Standard claims that thc 10. cation of Its refinorles and Ule use of plpo Unes are natural advantages to which It Is jUlltly entitled by reRson of the energy and toreslght of Its man- agors. While In a measure that Is true , It may not be forgotten that those adyantages were In part obtained by means ot unfair competitive methods - ods after year8 ot industrial strife. "The development ot the pi po lIne system by the Standard 011 company wns the resultat spcclal agreements wllh railroad companies. li'urther- moro , those so-called natural advantages - tages have been anl1 are being greatly Increased by discriminations In freight rates , both published and secret , Inter- state and state , which glvo the Standard - ard monopolistic control In the greater - er I > ortlon of the country. on Price Is Gauge. "An Immediate result of this delimItation - Itation of the competitive area Is shown by the Ilrlces of ordinary 11- , PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. lumlnatlng 011. After deducting the freight rate the prlco of such 011 Is usually from two cents to fIve cents a gallon higher In the non-competitive than In the competitive fields. A reasonable - sonable profit 11110n refined 011 Is about one-halt a cent per gallon. It Is clear that exorbitant profits are obtained - tained In the non-competltlvo fields. " In IDO-I these secret rates ! : laved the Gtandard 011 company three-quarters or n. million uollars , representing the difference between the open rates and the rates achUllly paid. "These discriminations - criminations , " he says , "havo been so long continued , anll so ! : Iocret , sa Ingeniously - geniously applied to new conditions of trade , anl1 so large In amount as to malte It certain that the ) ' were due to concerted action by the Standard nnd the railroads. " He says turther that the Standard all comllllny Is recelvln unjust dlscrhnlnatlons In the matter at open rates , the published rates from the leading Siandard shipping points being relatlvel ) ' much lower than r tes I from the shipping ' points ot Its com- , . petHors. Roads Abol1sh Secret Tl\riffs. Mr. Garllelcl then refers to sevcn Instances ot hnportont dlscrltnlnatlons In favor ot the Standard all company - pany In various } J rts of the country , and says that most ot the secret rates and some of the open dlscrlmlnatl ns discovered by the burean were abol- tshed by the railroads shortly after such discovery. ACter calling n Hen- tlon to the good which already has resulted - sulted trom the Investigation , Mr , Garfield - field says that the changes effected have put the Independents upon a fairer - er tooUng and maleo competition possible - sible In terrItories heretoCore Inncces- sible. The report concludes as follows - lows : " 'rarllts may be made and rntes may bo combined In such a manner as to malee It practically In1Josslble for the ordinary shipper to find them , " STANDARD MAGNATES REPLY TO PRESIDENT. New Yorlt.-In rellly to President Roosevelt's messnge and the report at Commissioner Garfield , Messrs. H. II. Rogers and John D. Arcbbold , ot the Standard 011 company , made the fol. lowing statement to the press : "In the president's etYort to secure the passage of II. bill enlarging the powers of Interstate eommerco com. mIssion and just and equitable rail. war rates , wo lmve preclselr the sarno . , . , . . .

"The commlsslonor's report , upon which the president's message Is based , opens with the statement that n - , . , . . . . . . . , . , " r. . , . . " , _ HENRY H. ROGERS. the manufacture of refined 011 In this country Is about 26,000.000 barrels annually. It would havc been fair for him to.have stated that over 16,000" 000 of , barrels or this nnnual manufllo , ture Is expo ted. "He next calls attention to the fact thllt the Standard 011 refineries are 10' cated at centers of distribution , while the Independent refineries are usual. h' In the crude all fields. He charges that this location ot refineries and the natural advantages following It were obtained by means of unfair competitive methods , but be'ond this mere assertion docs not go Inlo a his. tory or explanation of these alleged unfair methods at all. He says the 'development ot the pipe l1ne system by the Standard 011 company was the result of special agrecment with the railroad companies. ' As a matter of fact. the development of the pipe line system by the Standard 011 com. pany was In the face of violent hos. tllIty on the part of the railroads. Conditions In New England. "Passing from tbls point. Commls. sloneI' Garfield taltes 'up ' the question of favoritism , which he alleges has neen shown by various railroad cor. p rntlons , to the Standard all com. pany.

Some of our competitors do the sarno thing and deliver oil at the points In New England that we do by the same process. Question of Rebates. "The commissioner says that 'with one or two exceptions the Investlga' tlons ot the burcau have as. yet dls , , , - . JOlIN D. ROCKEFELLER. covered no rebates In the technical sense on Interstate business. ' "He says the Standard 011 company has habitually received from the rail. roads. and Is now receiving. 'secret' rates and other unjust and Hlegal dls. erlminatlons. It 18 hardly fair or manl ) ' tor him to add the sentence , 'Of course there may be other secret ratea which the bureau has not tllscovered. Does Not Cru&h Competition. "Tho statement that the 'Standard 011 company has largely bj' unCal ! and unlawful methods crushed out home competition' Is tully answered by the tact that home competition haa always existed , Is steadily growing , and thnt there are now at least 12E competitive refineries In tbo United States. "The Standard Oil company has been Investigated over and over asnln at the Instigation of Its rivals , and It always welcomes such hivestlgatlon when conducted In good faith and fairly.
