PARK PLACE POINTERS.
The Ownership of Railroads Discussed at Lit
erary Soetety,
Park Place, April 3. At the republican
primary last Saturday the following were
elected delegates from Abcrnethy precinct
to the county convention: W. H. Smith, J.
A. Chase, and C. A. Holmstroni.
There was a rousing debate Saturday
night at the literary society, the question
discussed being, Resolved, That it is to the
interest of the people for the government
to own and control all means of transporta
tion and communication. The speakers for
the affirmative were K. L. Spencer, Jos. Ma
gone, W. E. Marrice and Tom Hankins.
For the negative, John Gibson, Capt. J. T,
Apperson, George Einearson, and G. W.
Bwope. The judges were, W. H. Smith,
Sam Holcomb and Frank Redner. They
rendered their decision in favor of the neg
ative. It will be seen that the question debated
ia a plank in the populist platform, and as
the affirmative side was composed of popu
list speakers they tooted their horn pretty
loud, stating how cheap they would operate
thofe systems, thereby reducing rates of
transportation when they, as a government.
owned them. That ia all light, said the
negative, but how are you going to start out
with several million dollars les than noth
ing and buy several billion dollars worth of
railroads, steamboats, telegraph and tele
phone lines unless by so doing you place a
tax upon the people under which they could
never thrive, thereby making rates of trans
portation higher than they are at present?
The affirmative side then exploded by stat
ing that all they, " the government," would
bave to do would be to foreclose the mort
gages held against the railroads, and they
would own them. The negative then struck
them where the chicken got the ax by ask
ing, if it would be good policy for the gov
ernment to attempt a foreclosure under the
circumstances, as it was the second mort
gage which the government held, and if the
first mortgage would not then deter them,
41 it does now, from foreclosure? This
seemed a nev Idea altogether to the atnrma
live, and as they had not thought of that
they could not answer il, which gws to
show how crude are the ideas of the popu
lists. The Abcrnethy republican club will meet
again on Tuesday night, April tOlh. at T:
o'clock. There will be speaking and music .
The ladies are Invited to come and bring
everybody with them.
