DEBATE WILL HOLD
PARTICULAR INTEREST
FOR LOCAL HEARERS

The present movement III Alpu-
querque toward municipal ownership
makes the coming debate between the
University of Redlands, Cal, and the
University of New Mexico, next Mon
day night. Of particular interest ana
Importance to Albuquerque people.
The question to be argued by these
two schools concerns government
ownership of railroad The question
before the Albuquerque people con-
Germs government ownership of water
works. AT first sight it appears that
the two questions are almost unre-
lated. and that big field of difference
separates them But both are based
on the right of the government 10
own and operate any industry on
which the public is generally depend
ent And insofar as this is the com
mon head Of both questions the ar
guments opposed to or in favor of one
will amply to q degree to the other.
It may be thought that the argu-
ments put forward in the debate VIII
he academic or theoretical, ana at
tendance. as a result, not worth the
time or money such an idea is ms
taken. Since the beginning Of the
wear the university team has been
working on this question and not only
have the opinions Of leading econo-
mists more or less theoretical, been
thoroughly studied. but the practical
working Of government ownership
especially in Germany as well as the
literature published by the railroad
companies on this subject have formed
another source Of argument which
cannot be called theoretical.
Just to what extent the present agl-
tation fer preparedness viii affect the
governments attitude toward rail-
roads is still matter of conjecture.
But it is a well known fact that much
of Germanys military efficiency IS
due to government ownership, espec-
tally of railroads. and the power OF
the government as result to Use the
railroads for military purposes, as II
sees fit.
The debate viii afford an excellent
opportunity to hear a thorough dis
cussion of this question, as well as to
come in contact with the work Of our
state university. The California team
is known 10 be loaded and a hot fight
is certain The debate will be held at
the high school auditorium next Non
day night.

DEMOCRATS IN
QUANDARY OVER
SUGAR TARIFF


Washington March "a. - Dem
ocrats of the senate finance com
mittee today practically decided not
to recommend an excise or produc-
ton tax on sugar. as an amendment
to tho pending house resolution re-
peaing the free sugar provision Of the
tariff law Senator's Hardwick and
Gore have been urging such an
amendment the latter also proposing
n half cent Increase in the sugar tariff
TO remain in effect until six months
after a treaty of peace in Europe.
While the production tax has not
met with general favor It is consid-
cred probable that there may be
some amendment to the house repeal
resolution and several senator's say
that temporary increase in the tariff
is not unlikely meeting of the fun
committee called for tomorrow 10 act
on the matter was postponed today by
Chairman Simmons until Monday
Meanwhile, democratic senator's win
hold further conferences
The majority. it is reported. is also
considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of some
other temporary changes in the tariff
schedules in view of depleted reve-
MUGS resultant from the falling off Of
imports during the war. Some sena-
tors believe that whatever tariff
changes may be contemplated in con
nection with revenue legislation 10
meet preparedness expenses should be
incorporated in the sugar repeal legis-
lation so that the tariff need not be
brought up in congress more than
once at this session II is estimated
that with a half cent increase the gu
gar tariff would produce from Sos
600, 900 TO $4,000. 900.

Delegation to Vote for Cigar
Manufacturer Switzer Is
Named for Alderman,
GRAHAM FOR TREASURER
AND R0EHL FOR CLERK
Candidate Gives Out Interview
Correcting Statements That
Have Been Made Rejecting
on His Democracy,

All doubt that Henry Westerfeld
viii be the democratic candidate for
mayor in the campaign that is now
on was removed last night when the
delegates from the Fourth ward to
the convention 10 be held next Tues
day night met in the city hall and
with only one dissenting vote bound
themselves to vote as a unit for the
nomination of Westerfeld. While
none of the other ward delegations
have as vet taken similar action. it is
known that the sentiment for the
nomination of the cigar manufacture
or is So strong among the delegates
from each of them that no other can
didate now has look-in.
In addition to instructing them
selves for Wosterfeld the Fourth
warders named w. f. Swtzer as their
candidate for alderman and agreed
To vote as unit for Warren Graham
for city treasurer and Steve Roehl
for city clerk The best opinion is
that both Graham and Roehl will he
unopp0sed in the convention which
viii meet in the high school audi
forum Tuesday night. or that if any
opposition develops it will not be suffi
cient to overcome the fixed sentiment
Of the delegates for the two men
mentioned.
Harmonious Meeting.
The meeting was called to order at
8 o'clock in the courtroom at the city
hail by Chairman r. II Crews, who
had been named at the primaries tn
head the delegation. There was the
most perfect harmony throughout the
session, which was brief and business
like
Some doubt was expressed by
Chairman Crews as to whether the
meeting should proceed in view Of
the fact that less than half of the
delegates named at the primaries
We're present, but number of mem
bers fished proxies out of their
pockets which brought the member
shin present and represented well ov-
er the dead line of a quorum.
As soon as organization had been
completed Judge w G. Heacock
moved that the delegation be in
structed to cast its vote as unit n
the convention fer the nomination Of
Henry Westcrfcld The motion was
promptly seconded and a pause fol-
lowed the inquiry by the chairman as
to whether there was to he any dis
cussion. Apparently nobody cared
to discuss the matter and the motion
was carried with chorus Of ayes
and only a solitary no"
The only division that came during
the course Of the meeting was over
the nomination for alderman. Judge
Heaeock nominated Mr. SWit2er and
X. L. d. McAllister nomited w w.
Bowers. The name of l., r. Delaney,
who had been considered a formidable
aspirant for the nomination was not
put up ON rising vote it was so
apparent that Mr. Switzer had a
commanding lead that the name of
Mr. Bowers was withdrawn and the
nomination of SWitzer was made un-
animous
