Bell commanding the hemp provinces

der to his officers not to attempt to or
ganlze municipal governments as pre-
sclibed by Major General Otis in his
recent order, on account of disturbed
conditions. Americans occupy a few

The affirmative endeavored to
prove by facts gained from the officials
in cities where public ownership has
been or is being tried that it is a
failure Chicago was on the lips of
the orators every few minutes. One
side said that the municipal owner
ship plan there is a fiat and distin-
the city is concerned A letter from
Mayor Harrison showing that the cost
OF repairs on the municipal plant has
forced all such work to be turned over
to private corporations was given as
a patent illustration
Wisconsin probably made its fatal
error in dwelling too strongly on the
alleged failure of public ownership
. Of fcyht al n
such cities as Philadelphia and Chlca-
go. The last speaker for Georgetown
Mr., Kirby, turned the tables on the
Badgers by proving that the Phila-
delphia cast was not one in point and
by showing how much cheaper gas
had been in that ancient burg before
the gas ring had fallen into evil wars.
Mr.. Kirby alleged that the Philadel-
! phia illustration was an i'll conceived
one, inasmuch as the plan followed
there was public ownership with prl-
vate control. The affirmative also
| showed that the average price of cleo
trio light in cities of over 10000 in
habitants in the United States was SIS
under public ownership as compared
| with SOL under private control.
The affirmative scored another
sharp coup on the Wisconslnonians by
constantly quoting the famous head
of Wisconsin's University School of
Political Economy, Prof Richard z,
ely, who is very pronounced in favor
Of all schemes in which public owner
ship figures. The debate also brought
out the fact that in all cities Of over
50 600 people in this nation the may
ors of 80 Of a total of 36 wrote strong
letters urging that the reform adyo-
Gated by the Georgetown students be

THEY STILL DISCRIMINATE.
SO Says Industrial Commission Of Rail
ways.

Washington May 1S,-The indus
trial commission yesterday made its
preliminary report TO congress on the
subject eff transportation On the
question of determinations between
individuals, the report says the gem
oral consensus of opinion among wit
nesses is that railways still make
them, perhaps to rs great an extent
as ever before, They also say the
evidence is clear that the great term
inal elevators in Chicago and to a
less extent In other grain markets,
are owned by comparatively few per-
sons, that owners Of public elevators
also control great private elevators:
that they themselves buy large pro-
portion of the grain which comes
into public elevators, and that the
business Of handling grain on COM
mission has been very greatly re-
duced by this practice, 1t Is also
claimed that these men own most OF
the country elevators The COM
mission concluded on this
point IN view OF the
quite general acknowledgment among
railway men that discrimination In
favor of large shippers is still con-
spicuous, there seems to be consider
able probability that the claim that
these large elevator; receive favors
from railways In one way or another
has some basis" On the question OF
grain rates and -four shipments 10 is
stated that evidence seems conclu-
siye that the effect Of discrimination
has already been disastrous to our
milling interests and that probably
even with the difference in rates re-
duced as already shown 1t viii con
tlnue to be injurious" The conclu-
sion reported with reference to the
powers Of the Interstate commerce
commission that they are more lin
tied than intended by the trainers OF
