From the Railway World January Mr. Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal in the cause of economic reform has been in no wise abated by the panic which he and his kind did eo much to bring on, is out with an answer to President Moffett, of the Standard Oil Com- pany of Indiana. The publication of this ansevwas delayed swer, it is officially given out, $8,000. - WOMEN Will Find Encouragement in Mrs. Mer- - him-feei- The Illinois Central Railroad company has entered suit against the town of Ilerrin, Ills., for $700 000, on the grounds of Interfering widh traffic.

Uy subt- OUT -- eral weeks, "for business reasons," because it was not deemed advisable to further excite the public mind, which was profoundly dis- turbed by the crisis. Now that the storm clouds have rolled by, however, the Commis- sioner rushes again into the fray. Our readers remember that the chief points in the defence of the Standard Oil Company, as presented by President Moffett, were (1) that the date of six cents on oil from Whiting to East St. Louis has been issued to the Standard Oil Company as the lawful rate by employes rate on file of the Alton, (2) that the with thelnterstate Commerce Commission was a class and not a commodity rate, never being intended to apply to oil, (3) that oil was shipped in large quantities between Whiting and East St. Louis over the Chicago & East- em Illinois at 6 cents per hundred pounds, which has been filed with the Interstate Com- merce Commission as the lawful rate, and (4) rate on oil was entirely out of that the proportion to lawful rates on other commodities between these points of a similar character, and of greater value, such, for example, as linseed oil, the lawful rate on which was eight cents. President Moffett also stated that thousands of tons of freight had been sent by other shippers between these points under substantially the same conditions as governed the shipments of the Standard Oil Company. This defence of the Standard Oil Company was widely quoted and has undoubtedly exerted a powerful influence upon the public mind. Naturally the Administration, which has staked the success of its campaign against the "trusts" upon the result of its attack upon this company, endeavors to offset this infiu- ence, and hence the new deliverance of Com- missioner Smith. We need hardly to point out that his rebut- tal argument is extremely weak, although as Btrong, no doubt, as the circumstances would Warrant. He answers the points made by Presi- dent Moffett substantially as follows: (1) The Standard Oil Company hadatiafficdepartment, rate and should have known that the six-cehad not been filed, (2) no answer, (3) the Chi- cago & Eastern Illinois rate was a Becret rate because It read, not from Whiting, but from Dolton. which Is described as "a village of about 1,500 population Just outside of Chicago, Its only claim to note is that it has been for many years the point of origin for thla and similar secret rates." The 0 mmlssloner ad- mils in describing this rate H at there was a note attached stating that the rate could also bo used from Whiting. The press has quite generally hailed this Btatement of the Commissioner of Corpora- tlons as a conclusive refutation of what Is evlrebuttal dentiy reoognlMfl as the argument advanced by the Standard. In fact, It is as weak and Inconclusive as the remainder of his argument. The linen of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois do not run Into igoS. j, Chicago. They terminate at Dolton, from which point entrance is made over the Belt Line, Whiting, where the oil freight originates, is not on the lines of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, which receives its Whiting freight from the licit Line at Dolton. Tiie former practice, now discontinued, in filing tariffs was to make them read from a point on the line of the fil- iug road, and it was also general to state on the same sheet, that the tariff would apply to other points, e. g., Whiting. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois followed this practice in filing its rate from Dolton, and making a note on the sheet that is applied to Whiting. This was in 1S!5 when this method of filing tariffs was In common use. Now et U8 see ln what way tho intending ship!,er 0f 0n Could be misled and deceived by ,he fact that tne Chicago & Eastern Illinois had not fied a rate reading from Whiting, Commissioner Smith contends that "concal- ment lg the ony motive for such a circuitous 1. e., that this method of filing !U ran.gCment," the ra(e wa8 intended to mislead intending competitors of the Standard Oil Company, suppose such a prospective oil refiner had ap- plied to the Interstato Commerce Commission for fll ratfi f..orn chicaco to East St. Louis over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, he would have been Informed that the only rate filed with the commission by this company was G4 cents from Dolton, and he would have bcon f,lrtnr;r informed, if indeed he did not know 11lis area(ly, that this rate applied throughout Chicago territory. So that whether he wished to loca)e Wi pant at whiting, or anywhere ,,,sp ,.,., chicaco under an arrangement of long standing, and which applies to all the industrial towns in the neighborhood of Chicago, he could have his freight delivered over the licit Line to the Chicago & Eastern 1111 m,is at Dolton and transported to East St. LouiB at a rate of 6Vt cents. Where then Is the concealment which the Commissioner of Corporations makes so much or? Any rate fr,)m i)()ton on the Eastern Illinois or Chap- Illinois p"'l on the Alton, or Harvey on t' Central, or Illnn Island on the Hock Island, throughout ("ilcngo territory to nhip- menta from any other point in the district. So ffir from the Eastern Illinois filing Its rate from Dolton in order to deceive the shipper. It is the Commissioner of Corporations who either betrays his gross ignorance of transpor- taticn customs in Chicago territory or relies on the public Ignorance of these cutttoms to deceive the public too apt to accept untpiestioningly every statement made hy a (Inventment official as necessarily true, although, as In 'lie pp nt liutai t e, careful examination shows these statement to be false, ap-dlc- - ,.,,, ,nt made by p,,,,,,,,, MnTr-l,, ,,r character similar tha) , , mn ()J, were m.j(.(, al much ,0W1 IS cents, the Commissioner of Corporations the remark that "(lie ,:ismc onlv with 'reaaonableneBs' of this rate Is rot In mention, 'il;.- q neat loo Is whether this ra'e cnnstlttflt i other sMpoer of discrimination as n aTlrt Hin makeR much of th IWlMN "f President Moffett to produce before the grand Jury evidence of the alleged Illegal acts of which the Standard OH official said that other Th - ,,.,. t , ,,, large shippers in the territory had been guilty. Considering the fact that these shippers included the packers and elevator men of Chicago the action of the grand jury ln calling upon President Moffett to furnish evidence ot their wrong-doinmay be interpreted as a demand for an elaboration of the obvious; but the fact that a rate-boocontaining these freight fates for other shippers was offered in evidence during the trial and ruled out by Judge Latndis, was kept out of sight. President Moffett would not, of course, accepi the invitation of the grand jury although he might have been pardoned if he had referred them to various official investigations by the Interstate Commerce Commission and other departments of the Government. We come back, therefore, to the conclusion of the whole matter, which is that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana was fined an amount equal to seven or eight times the value of Its entire property, because its traffic department did not verify the statement of t commodthe Alton rate clerk, that the filed with the oil on had been rale properly ity Interstate Commerce Commission. There is no evidence, and none was introduced at the trial, that any shipper of oil from Chicago territory rate had been interfi led with by the nor that the failure of the Alton to file its rate had resulted in any discrimination against any independent shipper, we must take ibis on the word of the Commissioner of Corporations and of Judge Landis. Neither is it denied even by Mr. Smith that the "independent" shipper of oil, whom he pictures as being driven out of business by this discrimination of the Alton, could have shipped all the oil he desired to ship from Whiting via Dolton over the lines of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois to East St. Iouls. In short, President Moffett's defence is still good, and wo predict will lie so dc:ared by the higher court. The Standard Oil Company has been charged with all manner of crimes and misdemeanors. Beginning with the famous Hice of Marietta, passing down to that apostle of popular liberties, Henry Demarest Lloyd, with his Wealth Against tho Commonwealth, descending by easy stages to Miss TarbelPs offensive personalities, we finally reach the nether depths of unfair and baseless misrepresentation' in the Commissioner of Corporations. re;iort The Siandard has been charged with every form of commercial piracy and with most of the crimes on the corporation calendar.
