Lincoln douglas
Debate Greatest
in Our History

Lincoln first attracted national at
tention in the Lincoln-Douglas debate
in 1858. Concerning this debate a
writer who heard it says: "Both with
reference to the ability of the speak
-ers and its influence upon opinion and
events, 1t was unquestiOnably the most
important in American history that
the speeches of Lincoln, published cir
culated and read throughout the free
states, did more than any other agency
in creating public opinion which pre-
pared the way for the overthrow of
slavery" 1t was in speeches in that
debate that Lincoln made frequent use
of the declaration that "a house d.
Vided against itself shall not stand"
q declaration that is both Scriptural
and self-evident in the application
made by Lincoln: II believe this gov
eminent cannot endure permanently
half slave and half free. I do not
expect the house to fall, but I do
expect it will cease to be divided.
1t will become all one thing or the
other. Either the opponents of slav-
cry will arrest the further spread of
1t and place it where the public mind
shall rest in the belief that it is in
the course of ultimate extinction, or
its advocates will push it forward IN
til it becomes alike lawful in all the
states, old as well as new, north as
well as south" The position of Doug
las on the question of slavery was one
of Indifference. In his speeches he
severely criticized the declaration of
Lincoln and his application Of
''house divided against itself" Doug
las advocated with all his power the
doctrine of popular sovereignty"
proposition which, as quantity put by
Lincoln, meant that IF one man
chooses to enslave another no third
man has a right to object"
Both Giants In Intellect.
At the time of this memorable dis
cussion both Lincoln and Douglas
were in the full maturity of their
powers, says a writer in the 1ndianap-
oils News, Douglas being at the age
years his senior. Douglas had long
been recognized as an able and popu-
lar speaker. In congress and in the
United States senate he had been &C.
customed to meet the ablest debaters
of the state and nation. His friends
insisted that never, either in conflict
with a single opponent, or when re-
polling the assaults Of whole party
had he ever been discounted. His
manner was bold, vigorous and ag-
gressive. He was ready and fluent
in language, elegant in diction, fertile
in resources and especially familiar
with political history. Lincoln was
at that time trained speaker having
commended successfully at the bar, In
the legislature and in the congress,
and before the people with the ablest
men Of the West-including Douglas,
with whom he always rather sought
than avoided a discussion.
Such were the champions who en-
gagged in that famous discussion be-
fore the people of Illinois, with the
whole nation as spectators and audi
ence, the political questions then pend
ing--especially the vital question re
aatlng to slavery IT "nt . Sir "''

MELLON PROPOSES TAX
 REDUCTION OF S225 ,OOO, ,OOO

Washington, Oct. 31. P)-Secre- tary Andrew Mellon of the Treasury Department at the opening of the tax hearing before the Ways ard Means Committee recommended a limitation of the prospective tax re- duction to approximately two hurd- rcd twenty five million dollars, a lower figure than was submitted in his previous estimate which he sub mitted The following is the reduc- tion program:
 First: a reduction on corporation taxes from thirteen and half to twelve per cent; second: extending permission to corporations with a net income of twenty-five thousand dollars or less, and with not more than ten stockholders. to file returns and pay their taxes as a partner ship or. a corporation at their op- tion; third: the revision of the sur tax rates applying on individual incomes between sixteen thousand and ninety thousand dollars; four: the repeal of the estate tax; i've: the exemption from taxation of in comes derived by American bank CTS acceptances held by foreign or central bank of issue.
 Contrary to expectations MT. Mellon opposed any change what ever in the remainder of the war time excise miscellaneous taxes and argued at length for the retention of the present three per cent levy on automobiles, and ten per cent tax on admission applying on tick cts selling for more than seventy ive cents, on the ground that these duties and excise taxes on to- bacco should be ''ir the interests of a we'll balanced tax system. un-
