LIDGERWOOD Wins
DEBATE WITH F. h.
Fargo High School Team Defeated by
Forensic 5attIers in Hard thought
Contest

Lidgerwood won the debate with
the Fargo high school last night in
the First Baptist church by the unan-
imous decision Of the judges.
This is the first time that the Fargo
high. school has been entered in the
state league and the showing made
was excellent though the visiting team
carried off the honors in one of the
hottest contests that has been heard
in some time.
The question was: Resolved. That
the United States Should Adopt the
Swiss Military System. This Is a
live question in which much inter-
est is being shown and both teams
showed that they had given a vast
amount of thought and study to the
question.
The visiting team composed Of
Walter Mashek, Arnold Oss and
James Slaby took the affirmative
while the Fargo team took the mega
tive. The Fargo team was composed
of Ralph Camp, Ethel Tousley and
Leland Watkins. !.
John Frame was presidents of the
evening, the judges being A. E. Rob-
inson, CasseIton; III. G. Arnsdorf, VAL
ley City, and B. q. Martin, Moorhead
Following the debate the Fargo
high school students who were in the
preliminaries and lost for position on
the team entertained the two teams.

coMpuL sorry CROP ROTATION.

A bill has been introduced in the
North Dakota legislature providing
for the compulsory rotation Of crops
The proposal has been received with
jeerins criticism in certain other
states. But really, what is there TO
jeer about.
North Dakota is farming state. II
has a government oil farmers, by farm
ers and for farmers. The legislature
presumably knows what is needed by
the states chief industry, just as the
legislature of a manufacturing state
like Connecticut is presumed to know
the needs of Connecticut industry
And IL the North Dakota lawmakers
find that citizens who are cultivating
the soil won't use proper methods to
get the best results, why not lay down
1 few scientific agriculture laws?
It's no hardship for the farmer,
anyhow, to make him rotate his crops.
It's for the mutual benefit of the in
dividual and the state. and therefore,
according to modern nations, leglti-
mate function of government.
We used to grow indignant at any
suggestion of 'paternal government.
We've got over that. We're coming
around to the view that government
isn't paternilistic enough. The Euro
pean war has done much to change
our attitude. Public and private en-
terprise and helpfulness now 60 han'

# we we're engaged in a war stra.nilt
our resources, everybody would expet
as a matter OF course that the fedora
and state governments would exercis
q paternal authority over the basic
and vital industry of agriculture. Ant
why not in time OF peace?
Our food resources are already
strained. And il legislation can i'm
