That real and genuine competition 1 exists between the so-called Stand ard Oil companies and the various in ! dependent oil companies is affirmed in on editorial iu the current issue oi ]the "Texaco Star," official hoifre oi 1 - Igaa of the Texar; Company, producers of Texaco petroleum products, and one ef the leading independent oil cor.ipanies in the world. The editorial is entitled, "The Sen ate Investigation" and reads aa fol iar* > " V 1 "Whatever may be .said of the in ve.tigction of the petroleum industry reernjy conducted by the sub-commit tee of the committee on manufactures oT the Lnied States snate, under the leadership of Senator LaKollette, anil regardless of tip-conclusion stall ed by "TTie" comiaitttee in its report, one outstanding development is the I present state of competition be', wee v the so-called Standard companies tha Iwe e included in the dissolution de cree of 1911 on the one hand and I the various independent companies on (the other hand. The fact is that ev jery succeeding investigation, whether | by the Federal Trade commission or jby committees of congress, disclose* j an increasing loss in percentage of business by the Standard companies ami an increasing gain by independ ent*. True, the voitime of business transacted by the former has increas ed, but the volume of, business trans acted by the latter in proportion h*s inc.-eased much atoas; the enormous expansion of the industry has made r ics, there is no question as to its f • , We have two wonderful basketball teams.

When this is done, ouis will be the. only school in this coun ty enjoying that distinction. —G. W. Rhodes, superintendent. ? ; ' ■ possible existence of both facts. "There can be no failure to iwi the signs aright. The independent companies are gaining grouml. The free-for-all. among the independents, has not altered the situation. Even i the Standard companies do stop at state lines, and do not, except in c few ciues, compete with each there is independent Seompe.ition from one source or another every wheie in the United States. Compare the present with twenty years qgo. Just stop and think. Recall the bus iness as -H was transacted in. all of its branches in 1903. To thofe who rejoice in competition, the reflection should be useful and the comparison between then and new most gratify ing. To -those who say there is no competition, the answer is that they do not kno* what they are U.lkmg about; they are not in Um oil game. "When we speak of competition, ii is not merely competition in the sa'e of a tingle product, such as gasoline, l but competition in numerous products, including lubricants and fuel for tail-, roads, Steamships, and factories. And where is another and no less import ant kind of competition, namely, the race for leases.
