OIL TRUST OFFERS
MISSOURI‘BRIBE’
Promises $1,000,000 Plant and
Other Inducements for Right
to Resume Business.
CHICAGO, May 16.—William M.
Burton Superintendent of the Stand
ard Oil Company of Indiana, to-day
made a special plea before John
Montgomery, Jr., commissioner of the
Supreme • Court of Missouri, asking
that the company be permitted to do
business in Missouri.
He said if permitted to operate in
Missouri the Standard Oi! Company
would spend $1,000,000 on the Sugar
Creek refinery at Kansas City, and
supply the State -with a sub-motor
fuel to take the place of gasoline,
which would be sold at 3 cents a
gallon less than present day gaso
line prices.
“Seven or eight years hence,” said
Burton, “the price of gasoline may
reach any figure. If we are per
mitted to open up in Missouri we
will enter the State as a competitive
company and spend $1,000,000 on the
Sugar Creek refinery.”
He said that, if the company were
kept out of the State under the rul
ing of the Supreme Court in April
last year, the cost of this sub-fuel
will be as great in Missouri as gas
oline on account of the extra charges
for shipping.
He promised that, if permitted to
enter Missouri, the Standard Oil
Company would keep its books open
for official examination at any time.

WASHINGTON, May 16.—Coat of
RELIEVES
IN FIVE
M UT S
TO BREAK TAFT
RECORD
Has Already Traveled Nearly
12,000 Miles Since Taking
State Portfolio.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—At the
pace Secretary Bryan has traveled
since he entered office he soon will
eclipse the record a-wheel which
President Taft set in his four years
occupancy of tin* White House—more
than 100,000 miles.
When Mr. Bryan returned to
production of iron and steel as giv
en by the books of the Steel Cor
poration does not represent the real
net figure at which such commodi
ties can be put on the market, but
includes large profits made by the
mining companies and transportation
companies, all owned by the Steel
Corporation.
This Is the finding of Francis Wal
ker, Acting Commissioner of Corpor
ations, who to-day submitted Fart
III of his report on the steel indus
try, covering cost of production.
“Ore and coke used In making pig
iron are largely produced by allied
or subsidiary companies, which sell
such materials to the manufacturing
plants bperated by the same Inter
ests at prices which ordinarily in
clude a profit, and in the case of
ore, a very large profit,” says Mu
Walker in his letter of transmittal.
Profits Are Concealed.
He places the inter-company profit
on iron ore at $1.30 a ton out of an
average ore price of $4.18, exclusive
of profit in carrying charges. Since
it takes about two tons of ore to
make a ton of pig Iron, the sum of
about $2.48 profit is concealed in the
price of pig iron. Even greate»
profits are included in the book costs
of steel profits.
Profits the Steel Corporation
charges itself for transportation
amount to 57 cent« a ton, more than
$1.09 a ton of pig Iron.
The average book cost of Besse
mer pig iron as given by the Steel
Corporation is $14.39 a ton. while the
net cost, excluding inter-company
profits, is only $10.21. For Besse
mer steel rails the average book cost
of the corporation is $21.53 a ton.
while the net cost, excluding inter
company profit on materials and
transportation is only $16.67.
Mr. Walker comments that it is
only fair to figure Ih the investment
used in mining and transportation
in arriving at profits. He estimated
that the average investment of the
Steel Corporation in Lake ore is
about $4.47 per ton. The profit of
$1.30 a ton the trust charges itself,
therefore is equivalent of 29 per cent,
on the investment in ore.
“It is evident,” says the commis
sioner, “the risk of this business is
comparatively small, and the profit
is excessively high.”
Roads Have No Competition.
While the ratio of operative ex
pense to gross earning* of all rail
roads in the United States is 66 per
‘ ent., on the ore roads controlled by
the Steel Trust it is between 30 and
36.5 per cent. These roads have no
competition. The Commissioner
says the profits of these roads, be
tween 17 1-2 per lent, and 23 per
cent., are excessive, but that since
Elis figures were compiled, the rates
have been redued.
For Bessemer steel rails the net
cost of the Steel Corporation in 1910
was $16.67 a ton, including certain
estimated additional costs; the aver
age selling price was $27.45. giving
a profit margin of $10.78. The in
vestment in raw materials, transpor
tation facilities, manufacturing plants
and net working capital required for
the production of rails was about
365 a ton of product, according to
the computations of the Bureau. This
indicates a rate of profit on invest
ment of 16 1-2 per cent, on rails. On
a similar basis, the bureau's compu
tations indicate for plates a rate of
profit in 1910 of 10 1-2 per cent,
on the investment.

iCUPID'S WIRELESS
REAL LOVE TEST
“Heart” Vibrations Must Be in
Tune to Wed Happily, Declares
Naturalist.
[.OS ANGELES. May 16.—That the
time will come when harmonious
mental vibration and understanding
between man and woman will be the
requirements for marriage was the
statement made by a well-known
naturalist, Charles Kellogg, at a meet
ing of the city school teachers.
According to Kellogg there is a
certain vibration between persons,
the same as vibrations between wire
less telegraph stations. The pitch
of the vibration between any two
persons must vary, and Kellogg's
idea is that before a man and woman
should marry they should be in
“tune" with each other and thereby
have mutual understanding. He told
the teachers no wild animals were
ill except those disturbed by the fear
of man.
“The rattlesnake is your best
friend," he said "Nature made ail
things good. If you can. bring me
a bad boy and I will show you he
is the best boy in the world. He
becomes good if you can reach him.
“A baby thrown into the water
will not drown of Itself It is just
like an animal But if its parents
know that the chiid has been thrown
in the water and fear It will drown
that fear is carried to the child’s
mind and it will instantly sink.”
