BATES COLLEGE

On Tuesday evening at $50 the
freshmen mems prize debate was held
in the chapel. The question was RE
solved: That the Federal Government
Should Own and Operate the Coal
Mines Of the United States" The de-
cision was awarded to the affirmative
by a two to one vote of the judges.
Erwin d. Canham of Auburn was vot-
ed to be the best individual speaker.
Hamilton r. Bailey Of Cedar Grove
opened the debate for the affirmative
by giving the history of the question
and the relation Of the pending coal
strikes to the matter. He further
showed that under private ownership
the miners were idle large part CT
the year, while under government own
ership the coal might be stored and
full time employment secured for the
miners.
l.. H. Starbird Of Danville opened
the debate for the negative. He show
cd that government ownership would
be impractical because of the financial
difficulty of purchasing the mines
while values are inflated as at present.
He also gave examples of government
ownership and its failure in other
countries.
A. H. GooSins Of Portland. the sec
phasized the points which his col
league had made and also showed that
no commission could force the owners
to do the right thing. Such a COM
mission would not prevent the waste
Of 80 to so per cent. which is now
present.
Kenneth Field Of Auburn. the second
speaker for the negative. showed that
the government ownership of mines
based on Congress as directing bod;'
anG dependent on them for funds.
would Of necessity be unbusiness!i!le
and inefficient. Private initiative
would also be destroyed.
e. d. Canaan of Auburn, the con-
GLIDING speaker for the affirmative,
showed that the mines could be eval-
uated and that they have been evalu-
ated in the past as the railroads were
at the time the government took them
over. Civil service and temporary
tenure Of office would prevent ineai
cheney, he stated.
ID. +. Snowman of Southington, ct.
concluded the debate. He proposed a
plan for consolidation under private
ownership which would be regulated
by government commission.
Each speaker was allowed 10 min
utes for his main speech and five min
utes in rebuttal. The chairman was
Robert B. Watts and the judges were
L. Edward Conley. +. A. Cosgrove and

team received prize of SIS. The

QUESTION of "Rube" Marquard to his
pitching staff. He says Marquard
has many good ball games in that

vice to return to the form that made
him a star while with the New York
Giants. Mitchell said he wanted to
get Marquard last season but was
unable to make deal.
