lined the question and spoke on the

and proposed the plan of securing a
new supply from Rogue River. He
objected to the city's building an

former resident of Medford, might
take it upon himself to finance such
a project, which would involve the

lahoma, as the only means cf pro
tecting the independent oil producers
of tbe United States against what he
described as a monopoly by the Stand
ard, b. I. Doheny and Royal Dutch
Shell Oil companies.
Renewing his charge of last Anz-
ust that the Standard, Doheny and
Royal Shell companies were seeking
to monopolize oil production in this
country. Senator Harreld said that
since the time the Royal Dutch Shell
had taken over the I'nioa Oil com
pany of Delaware, thus getting con
trol of $75,000,000 worth of prop
erties; that the Standard and Doheny
companles had acquired the Teapot
Dome in Wyoming and other valua
ble holdings in California and Wyo
ming and had acquired 99 per cen( of
the stock of the Jlidwest Refinery
company.
Charging that the three companies
he named had a monopoly of produc
tion of oil In Mexico, Mr. Harrend told
the senate it was their policy to
charge all that the tariff would bear
and that consequently the price
would not be affected by the tariff.
He argued that on the other hand the
tariff would bring to the government
a huge amount of revenue and at the
same time protect the thousands of
small independent producers In the
I'nltcd States.
, The Harreld amendment to impose
tariffs of 33 cents a barrel on petro
leum an,d 23 cents a barrel on fuel
oil was rejected 43 to 9.
Those supporting the Harreli!
amendment were Broussard, demo

and Stanfield, republicans.
