REPORT OF CONDITION OF LA GRANDE NATIONS BANK
of La Grande. Oregon
at the jclose of business October 12, 1900
COMMUNICATION
When small boys play marbles or mum
He peg and grownup boys engage in the
serious games of life there generally
accepted a set of rules to play by.
Journalism, or that part of it wherein
questions of public pilwy are discussed,
should be on the same intellectual plan
and governed by the same rule as the
parliaments and forums of the world.
Now what are the principles and rules
of debate?
1st The contestants agree to the
question.
2nd They join the issue and one advoc
ate the affirmative, the other the neg
ative.
3rd They must d:scuss nothing but
the question under consideration.
4th They must answer each others
argument, either one failing to do so he
it beaten according to the rules of the
game.
Mr. Eckley ra sed the issue on question
as tO' the legality, farness or a good
policy of the city council creating daily
official paper. -
Mr. Eckley took the affirmative I the
negative. ' .
He divided his affirmation into four
counts.
1st Illegal and unjust manner of cre
ating official paper.
2d Graft as a result the first month.
3rd Charges of gag rule and midnight
resolutions.
4th The Mayor's negligence in not
living up to his pretentions.
1 answered the first proposition and
proved beyond doubt that the council's
act was not only legal but it was the only
policy to be pursued to save the city its
liens and collect money for improvements.
On the second proposition I proved that
Kill a nSrart re,H n .-,.,,.,
the city official paper 'was the charges
for publishing a lien notice, $13.80 which
was collected as a part of the tax, and
didn't cost tne city anythinc, as to his
allegation of gag rule and midnight res
olution that was fully disproved by the
record, and last, as to the Mayor's necr-
lect I think it was fully proven that the
powers and duties of all city officers are
strictly a creation of law. and none of
them can exercise arbitrary power.
Mr. Eckley never attempted to answer
any of my argument nor to disprove any
of my explanations, but. rather chose to
break all the rules of debate, that is-he
engaged in personality?, he did not dis
cuss the question nor did he answer the
argument.
1 stated at the outset that these news
paper controversies only resulted in an
exchange of personalities by the contest
ants with no benefit to the reading puMic,
lne reason why this is so. is because
nearly every instance someBodv has
personal grievance to ar and the rules of
aeoate don t cut any figure.
If Mr. Eckley had got the big end of
meciiy print ng at 1 0 cents per line we
would not have been regaled by this
ti rade on the acts of the city council and
the mayor.
