Health of School Children.
IroPQr attention to the health at

ment. A great part of the diseases
which do\'elop as chronic In after lICe
coultI bo obviated by closer nhHlIcal
superslvion ot children's health. Es-

or teeth can bo checked In early lICe ,
while In later years they become too
confirmed to yloJtI to trcatmont. Thor
Investigation ot the boartI at otIuca-
tlon have shown thnt II. majority otj
the Bchool chlltIren have either defective - :
fective ej'eslght or a tendency to badl
vision. It Is now proposed to examine -
, amino the school children's t3eth al-
so. This experhnont has been tried In'
Gormony , where attention to the
teeth has Improved the eyesight and
the hearing by Improving the digestion -
tion ot the children treated. It Is as
pecessary for a child to have sound
senses and good bodily health as mental -
tal dovQlopmenl. In t.ho majority of
the occupations at which the present
school children ot the present will In
future years earn tholr livelihood ,
sountI health and a good physlquo will
be at more value than education trlllB.

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

and Is benelltlng In wholly Improper

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

moro , those so-called natural advantages -

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 -

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-

'development ot the pipe l1ne system

result of special agrecment with the
railroad companies. ' As a matter of
