it Mem the IneetiendestA Since the' resultsof the interstate commerce 'commission's inquiry concerning rebates paid unlawfully to the Colorado Fuel an Iron company.by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad compartx were made known, additional facts pointing to other violations tit law by the -company have come, to light.They have been received by Ihe public With much interest, not only because they relate to the projected railway legislation so earnestly desired by Mr. Rooseve4t but also for the reason that they direct attention to the conduct and utterances of Secretary Paul Morton he entered Reviewing. An- the 12th evidence in this Colorado Fuel cases we spoke of President Rioters application for a further hearing. at was said, it would-be I shown that Mr. Morton in no way deserved censure for anything that had been done.

We remarked that Mr. Morton's tifthe case should be presented fully and without. delay. in order that public opinion might be formed justly. But Mr.

Ripley has withdraten his application. Mr. Morton has made no explanation, and the commilistonholding, as Mr. Prouty said, that the two companies had shown a barefaced disregard Of the law "Is about to lay the evidence before the department 04o-sties, with, the expectation that prosecution will follow. Secretary Morton said to the public.

a few weeks ago, that the president had asked him to take up- the problem of railway supervision and that he had consented to remain in the cabinet in order that he Might do so, and might assist the president in obtaining needed legislation. It is natural and therefore, that the public should be interested in, the record made by the secretary while 'le was vice president of the Atchison and supervising the freight traffic of that great coinpany. We have heretofore given the substance of the evidence in the Colorado Fuel rebate It is alleged that rebates amounting to 'about $1,000 a day were allowed for four years (up to November last), and that a conipeting company was thus driven out of business and virtually into bankruptcy. The. traffic manager.

hir- Biddle, who was subject to Mr. Morton's authority, assumes the entire responsibility for what was done. Mr. Moneta has not denied that recently to a newspaper correspondent he expressed approval of Biddle's actions saying that he 'would have taken the same There was published on the 21st ultimo what was said to be She full and exact text of a. pooling agreement (some 3,000 words) between the Atchison and the Southern Pacific, covering territory in southern Cali-.

and the southwest, dated" May 18, 1896, and signed by-J. for the South-- era Pacilleand by Paul Morton for the Atchison. Provision was made for canceling it after Dec. 31,, 1897, if ninety days' notice should Orst be given. Mr.

Morton declined last week to discuss the matter. The question whether the agreement is still in force has not been Answered. Making such an agreement was well known to be a direct violation of the interstate commerce act. Under the decisions of the courts It was also aviolation of the Sherman the orange rate case. three years later.

an officer of the Southern Pacific denied that there had been an agreement. Mr. Morton testified that the two companies tthere were no others doing business in southern California) cooperated in making contracts with private car lines. There necessarily," said be, a great deal of cooperation between us." If his signature was wrongfully published in connection with what is alleged to be a copy of an unlawful pooling agreement, be should have said so last week. One year ago (Jan.

19, 1904) the commission made a 'decision in a case brought before it by certain manufacturers of salt at Hutch-yawn. who complained that they had virtually been driven out of business by re' bates which the Atchison road had given to a salt company controlled by two brothers of Secretary Morton. In a recent volume of the commission's reports the -record may be 'found; Joy Morton was president of the salt company and Mark Morton its treasurer. A siding. or, spur track, in all less than 5.000 feet, connected the Atchison line with the 'mills.

Owning this side track. the salt maker a incorporated it under the- name of the Hutchinson and Arkansas River railroad of which Joy Morton was president and Mark Morton treasurer. They had neither a locomotive nor a car; But with -the Atchison (of which Paul Morton was vice president) they were able to make a traffic agreement which allotted to these 5,000 feet of side track about 25 per cent of the freight charges on salt. This disguised rebate amounted to 50 cents a ton on salt to Kansas City, 235 miles, the full rate being $2. Therefore the Morton brothers were easily able to undersell their Hutchinson competitors at 1 Kansas City- and other markets, and they did so undersell them with the great beef companies at Kansas City And Omaha and St.

Joseph. A mere subterfuge to give a goncession in rates. and therefore unlawful." was the decision of the commission, which ought tfie evidence to the attention of the district attorney. explaining that he was required to prosecute such violatip.under the direction of the attorney generai. Secretary Morton has declined to discuss this case.

Commis- stoner Prouty remarks that for five years past the Atchison' has been guilty of deliberate, extensive, persistent. and flagrant violations of the statutes." Mr. Morton has testified frankly before the commission and in court. In 1901 he admitted that his company's rebate agreement with the companies was illegal. We knew that it was." In the grain rate inquiry (followed by injunctions) b.

explained that the published rates were disregarded by his company and all its competitors. Testifying in the orange rate case in California, he said: We tried the costly experiment being honest in this thingliving 'up to the liteas we understood it, and declining to pay rebates; and we lost so much business that we found we had to do as the Romans did." In public statements he has recently urged that carriers or shippers guilty of giving rebates or preferences by any device should be severely punished. We do not question the sincerity of the pressed disapproval of such injustice and such violations of the law. But, being a member of the cabinet, and. as he says.

having consented to assist the president ip procuring legislation in accord with the latter's railway policy, he owes to the administration and the public a full and frank explanation of all the transactions. alleged to have been unlawful or unjust, with which he has been connected by official other publicat tions, -and his own Such an explanation should be- made at once. It is also Mr. Morton's duty to consider carefully whether, in view, of the record as it stands. or even as it will stand after any explanation he may decide to make, the reform projects and other policies of the president can be commended to the public or otherwise promoted by anything be.

Mr Paul Morton the secretary of the navy, will have to take notice of the grave charges against him. The article in the Independent is week, which we print in another column, is a serious indictment of him and he will have to plead to it. It is well enough to draw the drapery of official dignity 'about one and lie down to pleasant dreams, but under present conditions the dreams cannot all be pleasant. There must be a nightmare or two among them. The most serious of the charges against Mr.

Morton relates to the favoritism which he showed his two brothers while acting as vice president of the Santa, Fe. This raises a question as to his fidelity to his own roadto his principals. Here he is impaled upon the horn of a-dilemma. If his road did not benefit by the favors which he showed his brothers he was unfaithful to his trust. If his road did benefit he did an unlawful act We don't know what railroad men will think of all this There is a peculiar code of ethics in railroad circles.

Some railroad men are permitted to do things in an official capacity for their own profit or the profit of persons closely related to them, which they were done in any other kind of busi-, ness would bring down on them the censure of the whole commercial world. It may be that Mr. Morton's conduct in the salt discrimination matter in behalf of his two brothers is one of the exceptions that prove the rule. The other charges against Mr. set forth in the Independent article are not to be despised.

It is scarcely correct to say they are made by the.Independent. are merely recited in that eminently respectable publication. They are embodied originally in the proceedings of the inter state commerce commission, and they are supported chiefly by the admissions and sworn statements of Paul Morton himself. The ease of the Colorado Fuel company is aggravating While it is not true that Paul Morton was an official of the fuel company when, as vice president of the, Santa F.T he made discriminations in its favor and when in so doing he ruined and drove out of business its chief competitor, it is true that he had been for years the principal officer of the fuel company and that when he made the discriminations he was closely identified with its management and interested in its welfare. The pooling agreement with Mr.

Stubbs to which Mr. Morton's signature is attached was in direct violation of law and if Senator Elkins had not cunningly amended the interstate act it would make Me. Morton liable to both fine and imprisonment Mr. Morton says that in his official capacity be tried the c-ostly experiment of being honest and abandoned it. For how long? Is it only costly to be honest in the railroad business and can one afford it in other kinds of business? Perhaps Mr.

Morton should not be held to too strict an account for his careless use of language. He did not weigh his words carefully. He meant to be as honest as be conveniently could beas honest as the other Romans," as he felicitously denominates his competitors in the railroad business, are Mr. Morton should never have been asked to be se6retary of the navy. It was one of the mistakes of Rootsevelt "--of which there have been comparatively few.

For years Mr. Morton had been traveling back and forth between Chicago and New York soliciting government business-for the Santa Fe railroad. He especially wanted transcontinental business, and a large share of that business originates in the navy department. It consists of supplies, ammunition, and recruits for the ships stationed on the Pacific coast, in the Philippines and the orient. Mr.

Morton had a good deal to say on this subject during President McKinley's 'administration. He has much more to say now. Ifs question were to arise between water transportation and rail transportation, his judgment might not be strictly impartial. He might unconsciously be by his training as a railmad man. At the same time we do Mr.

Morn the justice to say that be would endeavor to hold the scales even in all questions of this kind. We believe Mr. Morton to be an honest manas honest as he says he is himself.

M. ever vIte El STANDARD OIL. VS. KANSAS. The Standard Oil eompany has not forgotten bow to administer summary punishment to those who are audacious enough to question its right to control the oil business of the country.

It makes no difference whether its would-be competitors are private -individuals or state governments. The state of Kansas has aroused the enmity of Standaill Oil. It is to be Day before yesterday the state Senate passed a hill for the establishment of a state oil refinery. It Was of the opinion that a little competition would have a salutary effect upon the price of oil in Kansas. The oil of the state produce considerable crude oil, and a state refinery would have the advantage of having its raw material produced near at hand.

Moreover, the state once found that the price of binding twine was high, and went into its manufacture with most satisfactory results. Legislators argued: Why not try the same experiment in oil?" The reply of the Standard Oil people to this effrontery was swift and to the point. It did not send its lobbyists to the senate to persuade the members that, they bad acted unwisely. It took from its arsenal the first weapon that came to hand. It issued formal notice that instead of taking the entire output of the state as heretofore the Standard Oil company will take none.

The result of this curtailment of consumption will be no market for an output of 25,500 barrels of oil daily. As there are no independent refineries in the state, and as it will not pay to ship the crude product east by rail to the independent refineries there, this product will have to run to waste, for there are no adequate storage, facilities, or shut down the wells. Even lithe state decide to establish a refinery it will be some time before one can be started. It is doubtful if the oil producers will want to wait that long. Many will be ruined.

Perhaps the ducers will trx to convince the legislature that the business of refining oil is full of pitfalls. This is where-the real finesse of the Standard's action is evident. It saves itself the expense of persuading the The Standard's method of dealing with a presumptuous state should not be called punishment. It is an exhibition of scientific bulldozing. Mr.

But it has had a tempestuous career during these lerief years. lt, has 'been ridi, exiled and opposed by those who were blind to its importance and world-revolutionizing mission. It has suffered from the speed craze which infected many of its devotees.

It made many costly errors and has had to repudiate the designs and methods approved yesterday. The American makers have had to fight the foreigners for the home market in spite of the 45 per cent duty on imported machines. In order to produce something original and characteristic the native manufacturer struck out on original with the result that his product was often freakish in design and weak in construction. lie also was tempted to sacrifice thorough workmanship to low price. But the experimental stage in the automobile industry in this country is now past, and the impression made by the exhibit at the Coliseum is that the trade has settled down to the production of a limited number of certain approved types.
