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.
