A THIRD DEBATE;
DOWNS HAMILTON

told of the land grants made by the
government to the railroad companies,
and of the governmental franchises
granted under which the owners were
compelled by law to furnish safe and
adequate transportation al all tunes.
William c. Levi, Jr. was the second
speaker for Hamilton He declared
that such a law as the affirmative was
proposing was impraCtiCable, Tor II
gave the employees no way in which
to protect their rights. He further
stated that there was no occasion at
the present time for the enactment OF
such a law, for during the last y years
there had never been a large or I'M
portant railroad strike. He concluded
bv calling upon the affirmative to show
how they would enforce such law
Murray Adams concluded the affirm
alive case by showing that the ran
roads are in the same class as the
mails, the police and the army and
that strike is contrary to the lun-
damental principles OF our government,
because "the strike is the last crime
on the books of history that does not
come under the jurisdiction OF the
courts,P and that this was lurther
substantiated by the section in the
Constitution which granted certain
specified powers to the National Gov
eminent for the regulation OF inter
state commerce; that strike IS liable
in result in revolution. In substantial
ting this last point Adams called at
tention to the European strike eAperl-
ences and the results that followed III
the wake of each Adams speech was
the most effective argument Oh the
evening.
The negative argument was closed
hy CARLYLE Z. Yates. He pointed TO
the failure of any law enacted TO ior-
bid strikes and said that such a Ia"
would be disregarded He called at
tention to the attitude taken by sam
uel Gompers toward an anti-Ntrlke law
and said that this was labor athiude.
"a law would not prevent strikes
said Mr. Yates; 1T would only make
strikes illegal and strikers CRIMINALS
In concluding, the speaker stated lhal
the proposed law was class legislation.
"Labor has but one weapon, the strike,
he said. while Capital has its strength
in stored up resources. Under such
law" he stated, the Government
would guarantee the financial success
of the railroads.
In rebuttal strong argument, were
advanced by both affirmative and neg
alive. During the evening music was
nrujshed bv the Mems Glee club and
Womens Glee club, and after the de-
bate reception was given the two
debating teams by Mrs. Maud q. Ma
son. matron of Hepburn hall. Dr. Al
len Kline presided at the debate.

GRAIN GRADING
FUND Is LOW
Emergency Commission Appro.
PIRATES $1,000

The fund created for use by the
state grain inspection department for
inspection of gfain, weights and mea'
sures is very low at this time, it was
reported in the state auditors office
when the emergency commission, in
meeting, transferred $1,000 from the
state division of grains, weights and
measures, situated at the agricultural
college, fund to the railroad commits
sion to meet emergency expenses.
The state treasurer and state audit
or were considering today the distri-
button of the fund created by the col
lection of fees for inspection of grain,
weights and measures. The legislature
appropriated $4,000 for this depart
ment, to be paid out of the fees collect
ed. The fund created by collection of
fees is so low that,doubt was express
ed at the auditors office if the $1,000
appropriated could be paid out, when
outstanding warrants are reported.
The railroad commission temporari-
ly continued the inspection depart
ment at the agricultural college, and
transfer of funds by the emergency
commission was necessary because the
grain grading law was held invalid.
