a violation of obligation. ALFRED STII.LMAX, ,
Secretary Executive Committee.
The above letter shows the scheme to fool the policy holder Into
the belief that unearned premiums due from bankrupt Insurance
companies can be credited on new policies rewritten In other com
panies. But the policy holder will find when he comes to pay his
premium on the new policy that he will have to pay the premium In
full In cash, and look to the binkrupt company, himself, for the
unearned premium.

TIE STANDARD OIL
HAS BEEN" DEPENDENT
IPON RAILROAD FAVOR.
Courts Are Willing to Do Their Part
Toward Sustaining the Constitu
tional Power of the People to De
stroy Moiuiol' Only Aggressive
and Intelligent Prosecutors Have
Been Lacking President Came to
the Rescue.
The following may be regarded as
an able synopsis of what might be
called conditions developing "pro
gressive Interpretation. It Is from The
Dalles Chronicle:
That Interpretation of the law
should change with the ever-changing
conditions Is reasonable assumption.
That such interpretation Is necessary
to the dispensation of Justice has been
evidenced In this country the past few
months. .
Since its beginning the Standard
Oil company has been dependent upon
railroad favor for Its profits. The
rebates paid to It, the secret rates, the
discrimination and the special facili
ties which It secured were the foun
dation of Its success. These practices
were known. Successive Investigations
disclosed them. The Standard Oil ad
mitted them.
The act under which the Ohio au
thorities have Instituted proceedings
against John D. Rockefeller Is known
as the Valentine-Stewart anti-trust
"law. It was passed by the legislature
In 1S9S. and on account of Its drastic
provisions was treated lightly as a
dead letter.
Finally E. T. Humes, prosecuting
attorney for Delaware county, began
proceedings under the act against cer
tain coal companies. The circuit court
held the law unconstitutional, and the
county commissioners refused to sanc--tlon
an appeal. Mr. Humes decided
o carry the case up on his own re
sponsibility and pay the costs himself
If the supreme court decided against
him. Last March the supreme court
-declared the law constitutional. It
was for violating this act that the five
'Toledo Ice dealers who had formed a
combination to raise prices, were con
victed, heavily fined and sentenced to
jail.
On the statute books of most of the
states and of the nation, there is a
body of drastic laws regulating cor
porations and common carriers, but
none of these laws are self-enforcing.
The courts are willing to do their part
toward sustaining the constitutional
power of the people to destroy mon
opoly and regulate corporations In the
public Interest. Only aggressive and
intelligent prosecutors have been
lacking.
Until President Roosevelt took the
Standard Oil In hand there was no
real prosecution. The old common
law forbade discriminations by pub
lic carriers. The successive inter
state commerce acts prohibited re

bates. The laws of the different states
contained prohibitory provisions. Oc
casionally a state attorney would
bring suit against the Standard Oil.
The Standard OH attorneys would pro
long the matter in the courts until
Its Influence had secured the election
of a new attorney general. These le
gal farces helped make the Standard
Oil the most odious of all the trusts In
the public mind.
The Sherman law was practically a
dead letter. Attorney general after
attorney general failed to enforce the
act, and until Theodore Roosevelt and
Philander Knox began proceedings
against the Northern Securities com
panies there was little disposition In
Washington to make the Sherman law
a breathing, living statute. Since the
supreme court upheld the contention
of the administration In the Northern
Securities case, victory after victory
has been won.

chniit at I'nUm, Ore. Just Complet

lowing complimentary article regard
ing the Levy stock farm near Union:
Mr. l,eo Levy, one of the most suc
cessful and enterprising merchants of
Union, Ore., hus recently purchased
an Ideal stock ranch of 360 acres, two
and one-halt miles northeast of that
city. While Mr. Levy has been In the
mercantile business all Ills'-life, his
aspiration has ever been to own and
operate an up-to-date stock farm. Mr.
Levy has Just completed a costly burn
with all modern Improvements, and
has it already filled with first-class
hay. He does not Intend to purchase
anything but tiro very best, so will
likely make a trip east In the near
future for a carload of Jersey cows
and Burkshlre hogs. Mr. Levy owns
Alexander's Stoke Pogls 67123, sired
bv Stoke Popls Prospect 29121, dam
Gertie Alexander 151595, grand cham
pion at Lewis and Clark. With this
animal to head his herd his success
and high attainment Is without ques
tion, and in the show ring will carry
off his share of awards In competition
with the very best that can be grown.
Mr. M S. Levy ,a brother, Is Inter
ested In Shetland ponies. He, too, like
Leo, wants nothing but the best, so

Kenllworth, sired by Champion Prince
of Wales, the greatest pony In Amer
ica: dam Mary H., a daughter of Trin
ket and a full sister of Trinket, Jr.,
champion at worlds fair In 1003. Mr.
Bunn would not consent to ship this
stallion at once, for he Is to be exhib
ited at all the leading horse shows
and f ilra In the" east this fall. If Ken-
Ihvorth Is the pony Mr. Bunn thinks
he Is, be will surely arrive In Oregon
a'l covered' with show ring honors.
It Is very gratifying to see such men
as- the Levy Brother enter Into this
line of work: it Is- conclusive evidence
that the fascinations of young men for
city life and business cares are rapid
