Council Bluffs Wins

CAe opera IL lu Inc
former debating team was
composed of older pupils, who
have had more experience and
in rebuttal were slightly
stronger than our team, that is,
they were a little more apt in
their points.
The question was Resolved,
That the federal government
should have exclusive control
of all corporations doing inter-
state business, constitutionalty
granted" For the affirmative
were Slough McGavren, Luella
Sudduth and Gus Heiman;
Lucy Spooner, Erwin Snyder
and Louis Cook, of Council
Bluffs for the negative.
Inc mouse was packed to
listen to this debate which had
been attracting interest in high
school circles for sometime.
When the curtain was raised
it showed the stage covered
with pennants from we'll known
colleges and of course Missouri
Valley and Council Bluffs had
not forgotten their own. Prof.
Bryan of the city schools intro
duced Prof. Beveridge to be
chairman of the meeting, and
of course he was given an ova-
ton. After preliminary re-
marks he announced the first
number, a song by the Missouri
Valley high school glee club,
girls, consisting of twenty-one
members. They were given
generous applause and respond
ed to an encore.
The debate was a hard
fought battle and both sides
were confident, until the de-
cision of the judges was an
bounced, and only then were
the Missouri Valley people
forced to believe they had been
defeated.
The delivery of all the par
Elephants in the contest was ex-
cellent, Council Bluffs being
greatly overshadowed by the
local team with regard to
this. On the direct argument
Council Bluffs was also over
Swallowed, but all this was
made up on the rebuttal.
Slough McGavren, first
speaker for the affirmative,
stated that federal control of
such corporations would elimin-
ate monopolistic evils. Luella
Sudduth, the second speaker
for the affirmative, stated that
the proposition is fully in ac-
cordance with the fundamental
principals of the constitution.
Gus lehman, last speaker for
the affirmative, argued that the
states have failed to govern
their corporations properly and
that upon that alone the
"proper federal incorporation
of such organizations is essen
tial."
Miss Lucy Spooner, first
for the negative, averred that
the proposition is radical, revo-
lutionary and that it would
tend toward an overcentraliza-
ton of government. Miss
Spooner delivered an excellent
direct argument and was even
better in her answer. Erwin
Snyder for the negative char
acterized the question under
debate as not being in accord
ance with the fundamental
principles of the constitution.
He argued further that the
adoption of such a proposition
would transfer the taxes that
are now state revenues to the
national treasury. Louis Cook,
for the negative, denounced
the suggestion as impracticable.
|inllieu of the proposition being
discussed, he proposed federal
supervision of such corpora

One Of the most pleasant
surprises Of the season was
given last evening when a host
of friends and neighbors of
Mrs. Mort Ellis took possession
of her home to help her cele-
brate her birthday. Talk about
a jolly time we'll these ladies
always have a jolly time, es-
pecially when Mrs. Brinker and
/ Mrs. Neufind are at the head
of things.
During the evening conun-
drums were offered, the one
guessing the most receiving a
prize. Mrs. Bender carried off
the first prize. Then the ladies
were blindfolded and told to
properly place the tail on the
donkey. A dainty china dish
was awarded Mrs. w. p. Smith
for correctly finishing up the
donkey. But the feature of the
evening was the three course
dinner. Some think a little
snowbird Nesting under the
caves of the Ellis home must
have twittered surprise on you
tonight May" for the ladies all
declare it would have taken
them a week to prepare such
an elegant repast. 1t was a
late hour when theladies de-
parted midst the music and
laughter of the young people
who gathered in to escort their
mothers home. Mrs. Ellis is
such a charming hostess the
ladies declared they were COM
ing in again soon. Life is best
when you get the most out of
it and another birthday is too
long to wait, however may all
the birthdays Of May be as
jolly as that day of Jan. 81 '09.

In reading of the Y. M. c. A.

Bluffs, it calls to mind that
Missouri Valley is in need of
such an organization. We
should have a railroad Y. M. G.

the convenience and comfort
of the m my railroad men who
run in here and have to lay
over for hours. There is no.
place for these men and with
rooms fitted up properly and
the tables full of magazines
and papers, it would be of great
benefit.

GIVEN APPROVAL
OF CONFEREES
New Draft of Corporation
Tax Amendment.
RATE CUT TO ONE PER CENT

Attorney General Wickersham Ex.
plains Its Provisions at Great
Length and 1t Is Accepted Without
Delay-Takes the Place of the
house Inheritance Tax Provision in
the Original Tariff Bill.
Washington, July 20.-The confer
ence committee of the two houses of
congress on the tariff bill has
agreed to accept the senate's corpora
tion tax amendment, but the agree
ment was not reached until after the
provision had been redrafted by the
attorney general and many changes
had been made.
The most important of the changes
was the reduction of the tax from 2
per cent on the net earnings of cor
porations to l per cent. Attorney
General Wickersham appeared before
the committee and explained all the
new provisions at length, apparently
To the satisfaction of all the confer
ees, who lost little time in signifying
their acceptance of the provision after
hearing his statement concerning it.
II appeared that much difficulty had
been found in the matter of the ex.
emption of the earnings of such cor.
porations as all felt should be ex
empted, but there was a general feel
ing that the new draft had accom-.
plished as much as language could
accomplish in that direction.
The corporation tax amendment
will take the place of the house pro
vision for an inheritance tax, which
according to the agreement will go
out of the bill.
Every precaution was taken to
avoid double taxation by the amend
ment The modification adopted In
the scnate at the instance of Senate,
Clapp, specifically including holding
companies as among those to be taxed
was disregarded in redrafting the pro
vision.

Severe FIGHTING AT

MoOrs Display fanatIGaI Bravery
in Attack on Spanlards.

Madrid, July 20.-O1lciai dispatches
received here indicate that the fight
ing between the Moors and Spanish
troops at Melilla was more grave
than at first believed. The Moorish
cavalry made a concerted attack on
the Spanish headquarters, swarming
edown from all directions and firing
their guns as they approached. The
tribesmen displayed fanatieal bravery
and their headlong charge was only
stopped by a deadly fire from the
Spanish batteries. The Moors re
turned to the attack during the night
and the battle is still raging. Tht
Spanish losses are important, among
the dead being a lieutenant colonel, q
commandant and captain.

WOMEN IN FIGHT
FOR PURE WHISKY
President Taft OeIuged With
Letters on Subject

Washington, July 20.-By reason OF
briefs from lawyers and letters from
women, whose attention had been di.
rected to the fight over what Is
whisky" President Taft is forced to
remember the subject even when
wrestling with the tariff.
Purity and quality in "wet goods"
are what the women who are writing
the president want. They do not set
themselves up, as a rule, as consum-
ers of the commodity, nor are they
prepared to subscribe to the senti.
ment that all whisky is good What
they seek to have is the president ad-
here to the ruling of former President
Roosevelt that straight whisky, made
from distillation of grain, is the only
form in which 1t meets the require
ments of the pure food act. Any
other form of whisky, under the law
as construed by Mr.. Roosevelt, must
bear label proclaiming the liquor
adulterated.
~ PSihiI "hAShg ih any olhCi thau
its straight" form to appear without
such label would, in the opinion OF
the presidents fair correspondents,
mean that the pure food law would
not be enforced.
The crusade of the women was
started by Mrs. Beulah Amidon, chair
man of the food sanitation committee
of the General Federation of Women's
Clubs of the United States. She sent
circulars to every woman's club in the
country asking that the members
write to the president. Apparently
they have all done so.
