HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The high school debating team which
will debate the South Bend high school
at the Methodist church, in Hammond
Friday evening of this week, was un-
mercifully quizzed for two hours yes
terday afternoon by Rev. Adams of the
Baptist church, Lawrence Becker, and
Wilson Henderson director of voca-
tional training in the city schools. The
team stood the ordeal we'll. and a
result the followers of the purple and
white are optimistic as to the out
come of Friday nights clash. They
know that the team has been thor
oughly coached, and that 1t is master
of the subject to be discussed.
The question that will be debated
Friday evening is, Resolved. That for
the Government OF Indiana Cities. the
Commission Plan Is Preferable to the
Fort Wayne Plan The question is
thoroughly up-to-date as becomes evil
dent when II is recalled that both
plans were embodied in bills introduced
at the last session of the Indiana leg
fslature Both bills were killed, but
are likely to be brought up again at the
next session.
The commission plan agreed on as
| the basis for discussion in the de-
| bate Friday night is the Des Moines
plan or the guarded" type; that is. the
type in which the initiative referen-
| rum and recall are found. Hammond
| will champion commission government.
| South Bend will attempt to prove
| the superiority of the Fort Wayne
4 plan of city government. Under this
plan the people every four years would
elect a board of councillors from the
| city at large. The number of these
councillors would vary according to the
| size of the city. In Indianapolis there
| would be twenty FIVE. and in Hammond
eleven. These councillors in turn have
power to appoint FIVE administrators
each of whom is to look after a depart
ment of the city's finances. One would
have charge of the city's finances. an
other in charge of streets and alleys
and thus through the various depart
ments of municipal government. The
plan provides for the recall OF the
councillors by the people, and for the
removal of the administrators by the
councillors. The initiative and the
referendum on franchises are also pro
vided.
Tickets were placed on sale at tn,
high school today Tickest will alsc
be on sale at the church on the evening
of the debate.
Tomorrow afternoon the last public
try out" of the team previous to Fri
day nights debate will be held. On thf
occasion a picked high school team
| composed of Adele Dunbar. jamie Dy'
and VIII Arnold viii debate the schoo

ernor was expected to announce i'm
mediately that Frederick S. Caldwell.
a Winchester. Ind, attorney. and a
candidate last spring before the demo-
cratic state convention for a tudgeship
on the supreme court. has been Sc
lected to succeed Judge Adams.
Judge NJ. B. Larry of Logansport will
succeed Judge Adams as chief justice
of the state court. The resignation of
Judge Adams has been brewing" for
several months, but it was kept a Sc
cret from all but very few friends
OF the Judge and the governor until
today.
Both Judge Adams and Mr. Caldwell
are democrats. Judge Adams is known
prominently in Indiana. He resigns
because he has accepted the position of
chief counsel to the Arbuckle Brothers,
a NeSs York corporation. His future
residence will be in New York City.
Mr.. Caldwell was slated" for one
of the appointments to the new public
service commission this spring. Short
ly before the governor announced the
appointees on the commission, Mr..
Caldwell let it be known that he could
not serve on the commission. At that
time 1t was limited that something bet
| ter was in store for the Winchester
| man. The announcement today of the
| probable appointment of Mr.. Caldwell
is the solution to the puzzle that was
presented to the politicians of the
state ae the time of the public utility
appoin tments.

Like a cowboy who took up col
lection with his hat In one han$ and
gun in the other, disgruntled citizens
of Hammond are knocking at every
door. accepting every opportunity and
bringing every pressure to bear that
the contribution of names to the deep
sewer remonstrance may be overwhelm-
ing. They use persuasives no less I'M
fair than the cowpuncher's sawed off
cannon With few exceptions untruths
and deliberate Misrepresentation is
their stock in trade Either they are
densely immune to information or they
are possessed of contorted mental Wis
ion.
In One Ear and out the Other.
City officials have explained again
and again that the sewer is to cost
between one and a half and two dollars
a year. according to location, they have
told over and over that it cannot pos
sibIy cost more than the estimate. These
simple facts have been shouted. mega
phoned and published far and wide
But still petitioners for the antis per-
sist in saying that the assessments will
eat up the property that the sewer will
cost more than the estimates. that the
trunk lines are not on the right streets
and that sewage can be dumped into
the Calumet river and taken down the
Mississippi, via the drainage canal of
Chicago.
How to Answer Them.
The plans were prepared by an ex-
pert who is the author of many more
complex and expensive sewage dispos-
al systems. The trunk lines are ar
ranged in the one and only uniform
way. The deep sewer is the only way
in which the city can be properly
drained. for should the Calumet be
dredged Chicago could never consent
to have the canal burdened with ad
ditional sewage even If diluted. The
! Calumet could never be made to flow
fast enough to of service TO the drain
