cases it would only be exercised in
directing how corporations could be
formed, and that congress would not
undertake to go into the details of
how people should run their business
after it was once under headway.
He urged that public sentiment was
ready and therefore the change should
be made.
Charles Helsley. the third speaker
for Denison continued the argument
of the negative that it would be ruin
GUS to corporations which did but a
limited interstate business to be put
under different regulations from
those which confined their endeavors
strictly within state. Great public
carriers, businesses like the Standard
Oil, coal companies selling through
out the country were one thing. and
corporations occa sionally shipping
over state lines strictly another. 1t
was not this latter class which was a
menace to the nation and the mega
tive on this occasion insisted that
because good reason had been shown
why this second humble class should
not be exclusively controlled by the
federal government. it had won the
debate.
Each of the speakers was allowed
a short time to speak in rebuttal of
what the other side had said. Many
continued their first address which
had been cut short by the time keeper
saying, "time up" There was truly
very little in rebuttal said. for each
contestant had learned her or his
address, and in the hurry of things. did
not have time to think out new
matters. There was no comforting
among the judges. They sat in
different parts of the hall and when
decision time came, each wrote the
name of the side which he thought
had the best of the argument and the
result was declared by the chairman,
Mr.. Sims. He made neat speech
saying beth sides had done we'll. and
then read the result viz: Two for
affirmative and one for the negative.
The Missouri Valley contestants had
done so we'll in delivery and perfect
ion of presentation of their points
that the people were satisfied with
the result. If the verdict could
not be for Denison there was cons
ISOLATION that one Judge voted that
way. 80 the negative arguments
had not fallen entirely ineffective.
and again there might be a bias
in favor Of government control
which had precluded the other two
from giving full weight to what the
negative had put forth. The win
ners congratulated the losers, and the
losers the winners, and all ended il
good nature. Another time our de.
baters must have more time fol
preparation, and not have to put ul
a debate on big question, Oh

The friends of Miss Norman are de-
lighted to know that she escaped with
out harm. 1t was certainly a trying

had shown that they were now run
ming the country and must be held ir
check. 1t had been shown by results
that state control would not effect,
and that there VAS no other way but
to have the federal government step
in. He told how many trusts hac
been organized in the past few years.
He depicted the evils of monopolies
alleging that under them prices
were higher, quality of output poor
er, the price of raw material de-
pressed. He said that trusts came
from tariff protection. railroad re-
bates and patent rights. He quoted
freely from Prof. Ely. the we'll
known authority on economics.
The first Denison speaker was Alva
Daniels. He showed a chart with
the question set forth, special attention
being called to the words call" and
exclusive" 1t soon became evil
dent that the negative, based their
hopes of winning on convincing the
judges that while some corporations
might we'll be controlled by the feder-
al government, that it was far reach
ing and wrong to put under the laws
of congress small industries like
creameries, cold storage plants, mer-
chandise establishments like Bale
Brodersen, printing plants and the
like. Mr.. Daniels quoted from U. S.
supreme court decisions that when
once the federal government took
control, that the states could not ex-
ercise the least supervision.
The second speaker for the afiirma-
tive was Miss Sudduth. Her argu-
ments went back to the founding of
the government and the reasons for
the formation of the federal consti
tuition. 1t was set up as one of the
pressing needs for the union of states
that only by that means could uniform
laws be made touching interstate
commerce. She held that the states
now had no just and uniform way Of
taxing corporations. Some taxed net
earnings, some gross earnings. others
the value of franchises and the like.
All this would be changed if tht
federal government had exclusive
control. She claimed that her plar
would not tend to centralized govern
ment.
Frank Menaugh came forward fol
the negative. He made the argu
ment that corporation should b.
ciassed under two heads. public
service, and competitive. Under tn
first head came railroads. steam shiI
lines, Standard Oil Company. ant
under the second, banks. cold storage
merchandise establishment doing onl.

held that such was not the case wit

dition of the country in its trust rid

NOW FOR BASKET BALL
The Denison College Basket Ball Team Plays
at Ida Grove and Sac City.

The boys of the Denison college
have never been slow at either base
ball or football and events show that
at basket ball they can make the
game interesting. On last Friday
night the Denison team was over to
try skill with the boys of the Baptist
college at Sac City. and later went
on to Ida Grove. At both towns they
we're given handsome treatment and
they returned home we'll pleased.
At Sac they won the game % to l8
and at Ida Grove lost by SO to II.
Although they did not win when at
Ida Grove they have some good reasons
to account for it, and do not feel bad
a bit. They had to play against a
picked budy of boys from Co. B. of
the state militia. Among the Ida
Grove players was Hubbard Of Ames
college and trained athlete, and
Capt. Curry of the famous base ball
team. Further the Grove had ten
men in play and kept substituting in
when their men were winded. Deni-
son had but six men and so practically
the full team had to keep going all
the time. Again the game was in
the big armory and this made the
running much more fatiguing. Deni-
| son hardly expected to score, so. was
we'll pleased with SO to u for Ida
Grove. Guess the brilliant1 basket
ball team of West Side will! have to
20 over and take the starch out of
those Ida Grove Youngsters for they
may think they can win a champion
ship at basket ball as we'll as base
ball. The lineup for Denison is as
follows:
Earl Hoffman, VIM. Currie. Row.

Arizona History

As you are aware, the Wenty- fifth Legislature, with reHlizat- ion of the existing and growing need for the systema tic collection, compilation and preparation for publication of the data cOmpris- ing Arizona's history, created the office of Arizona Historian. To myself fell the honor of inaugur- ating the work comprehended by the Legislative act, and l have en- tered upon the discharge of my duties with the ardOr and enthIs- iasm of one who believes that his field is in many respects the most fruitful of historic treasure of all the Unions subdivisions. Almost nothing has been written of the tragic incidents which SO thicklv punctuated the early years of ArizOna's possession by the Amerlcans, and what has been written is of so fragmentary, un- certain and inaccurate a charac- ter as to be practically or entire ly worthless from a historical standpoint. Except by the few remaining old timers, whose heads have grown white and whose steps feeble in the service of retaining Arizona from a land of savagery and non-prOductive- ness, and perhaps by an incOnsid
 erable number OfeducatOrs, there Is deplOrable absence ot acquain- tance with Arizona history.
