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.

LaFollette's health, lofct a year ago, has been regained and his eyes are bright, his face is rosv and his spirit is up. "I am ready for any sort of decent fight,” says Mr. LaFollette. “1 feel younger and fitter than for Heverul years.” The Senator is said to have his ear to the ground, and be grooming him self for 1916, Commissioner of Corporations Explains How Books Are Juggled to Make False Showing. 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. Help Comes Quickly When; Hyomei Is Used for Catarrh.

[.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.” If you have anything to sell adver tise in The Sunday American.
