To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The large shippers are cultivated, and every possible means resorted to, to secure their business. The usual means are rebates made privately; and for such no apology can be offered. They demoralize business and build up the large shippers at the expense of the small. In " Exhibit C, " accompanying your questions, you refer es- pecially to the rebates paid the Standard Oil Company. So far as I am familiar with the history of these rebates, they were the result solely and entirely of a war betwe...en the rail- roads for the oil business. No railroad was so foolish as to wish to give away its revenue in this manner; but each one was willing to give a rebate, to secure a share of the business, rather than see it all go to its competitors. I do not believe it possible, either, to devise any laws or system of govern- mental control or supervision which can prevent, effectually, the recurrence of cases of this kind. There are a hundred ways of making arrangements between railroads and large shippers, which will accomplish the same purpose, and which can never be found out, and could not be punished, if they were found out.
