STANDARD Oil AND
THE ADMINISTRATION
RIGHTS GRANTED PRAIRIE OO-
FOR 8EEKING TO PROTECT
WHICH HASKELL 18 DE
NOUNCED.
NEW York! Oct 'll.—The Wash
ington correspondent of tho World
says In a special:
administration over other companies
soaking concessions In Oklahoma?
The facts established by official doc
uments seemingly Justify on affirma
tive answer. These facts, which are
admitted by officials of the government,
are:
J. That th* Prairie Oil and Gns Co.
la a subsidiary of the Standard Oil
Co. and has a monopoly of the oil
transportation buatneaaof Oklahoma.
2. That th« Prulrie Oil and Gas Co.
secured Its original pipe line permit
under favored conditions not given to
other pipe line companies.
3. That the company has persistent
ly refused to conform to the. regula
tions promulgated by Secretary of the
Interior Hitchcock and that Its refusal
has been sustained by Secretary Gar
field In a modification of th* Hitchcock
order of 1906. under the terms of which
the company is now the only pip* lino
company In Oklahoma that ha* been
given such permit.
4. That the company ha* been
perinll.v favored by a special set of
regulations drawn to conform to th*
demand made by the general counsel
of tho Standard Oil Company, that the
corporation need not avow Itaelf a
"common carrier.”
5. That this regulation, which
equivalent to a contract between the
government and the Standard
Company, glvea tho Standard
i your drurgici or
NATIONAL TOIIXT COMPANY, Paris. tM
Company absolute control of the en-* i
tire oil Industry of Oklahoma, be-’
cause It Is the only buyer and fixe*?
the price of the product.
6. That the favoritism shown tha
Standard Oil "Co. by the Roosevolt ad-i
ministration waa in defiance of the-
policy of the Interior department, and
was made irt the face of a person it
protest by Mr. Hitchcock when he wav
secretary of that department. J
Got Congress to Act
Secrctarjr Hitchcock reached tho con
clusion early In the flrst ‘administra
tion of President Roosevelt that the
Standard Oil Company, through the
I Prairie Oil and Gas Company, Its sub
sidiary company, was trying to mo- 1
nopolize the oil business of Oklahoma.-
After vainly appealing to Mr. Hitchcock
| to iHSue permits to It to construct pipe
lines, the Standard went to its friend<
In congress In 1904. It appealed to Mr.
Sherman, now the republican candi
date fo vice president: Senator Pen
rose, of Pennsylvania, and Representa
tive Vreelnnd, of New York. The re
sult wns tho pasaago of a bill to per
mit tho construction of pipe line*
under conditions to be Imposed by tho
secretary of tho interior.
Mr. Hitchcock refused to make tho d
sort of conditions tho Standard wnntH£,>
crl. Tho lato Gov. Higgins, of New
York, wrote to President Roosevelt
complaining of Mr. Hitchcock's action
nnd urging him to Intercede With Mr.
Hitchcock nnd have the permit grout
ed. President Roosovolt did so, and
Mr. Hitchcock, under protest, itwu.-d
tho permit In April. 1904. It was with
in a few weeks of this timo that tho
Standard Oil Company contributed In
n lump sum $100,000 to the republican
national campaign fund.
Secretary Hitchcock stoutly contend-*
ad thnt his policy In dealing with the
oil Industry of Oklahoma wn* being
overriden by the prealdent Through na
utical Influence. In order to vlr,dl«*re
his position Secretary Hitchcock in-
sued a pamphlet giving tho oxact facts
about the transaction. Tho pamphlet
appeared during the New York state
campaign In 1906, when Mr. Hughes
was a candidate* for governor.
The president was greatly chagrined
when he learned of the action of hi*
secretary of tho interior and wlr-1
from Oyster Hay to hnv* tho pamph
let surnressed. Agents of the Interior
department collected it from th<* news -
pnj>or offh-fM In WnHlilrigtcn nnd New
York ftnd n copy Is not now obtnln-
abla. All the copies of It. were ship
ped to Oyster iRay.
Secretary Hitchcock followed up hia
war on the Standard by Issuing en or
der rendering all pipe line privilege#
subject to the control of the law* nf.
Oklahoma, which had the effort
making them ''common carrier*” snd
requiring Ihrui a « Midi to transport
the oil of any company, whether con
trolled by the Standard or any other
producing concern. Th© Rfnndnrd th©n
irefused to transport tho oil of the In-*
dependent producers.
Modified the Order.
Complaints from Independent pro**
duesrs wero referred to Secretary Gar
field. who had succeeded Mr. Hltoi-
rock. Thnt official demanded that tho
Standard comply with the "common
currier” order. The Standard refus
ed nnd Mr. Garfield flnnlly agreed to
modify tho Hitchcock order -by elimi
nating the "common carrier” clause.,
Thors was a howl of protest from tha
Independent producers, which Inspired
Mr. Garfield to Issue another ord>?<*
characterizing the construction of pip«s
lines by the Htnndard aa "extensions’*
not subject to th© Oklahoma law relate
Ing to “common curriers.”
Pre*ldent Roosevelt caused th© In*
ter lor department to deny the charg*
that th© administration had favoredl
the Standard Oil Company In the fol
lowing letter written by Assistant Sec
retary Pelree:
"Th© secretary of th© Interior hag
never treated on© applicant better or
worse than another and has slwav*
enforced his rules without favor, re
pealing or changing thorn for one rea-
HO n—namely, to make them more ef
fectively curry out the Intent of the law
and Insure orotcctlon to.the Interest*
of all tho people.” v
Tho statement, ns If to excuse th*
favor shown the Ktnndnrd Oil Com
pany, added that It had been the pr.ro-
tlc© of the department "to allow nnri
pipe lino company which had already
constructed a line to extend that line
if the public Interest demanded.”
It I* no secret In cabinet circle* thatf
the friends of Mr. Hitchcock believe h#
wa» forced out of the cabinet hccaus*
h© persistently refused to accede to th«
demands of th« Standard Oil Company.
The defenders of Oov. Haskell of Okla
homa say he was branded by President
Roosevelt as the tool of the Standard
Oil Company because, as governor oe
Oklahoma, he sought to protect th«
company in tho exerei*© of th© very
rights which the president’s admlnU-*
tratlon had conferred upon it os a spe
cial favor. (.■ ■.
