CHAMPION OF STATE
LEAGUE OF DEBATERS
Both Gresham Teams Lose
in Debate on Government
Ownership of Railroads,
Gresham. Or;, Feb. 13. Astoria
High school won the championship f
the Columbia river district of the
State High School Debating league
last nignt tm defeating Gresham Hiah
school. Miss Marguerite Volbrecht
and Miss Mabel Ehlpley, Gresham's af
firmative team, lost at Gresham to
Coach P. T. Kadingpr's Astoria neaa
tive fcenm. Miss Ruth Spande and
Sverre Halsan, by the unanimous vote
or the three Judgres. At Astoria:
Gresham's negative team, Frank Rod-
gers and Miss Ellen Da Haven, coached
by Miss Eva Struggles, lost to As
torla's affirmative team, Miss Eva
www ana William Sigerdsund, by the
votes oi two judges to one.
The question was: "Resolved. That
tne federal government should own
and operate all Interstate railroads
acting as common carriers (including
intrastate lines competing with them),
constitutionality waived." Gresham had
won preliminary debates with Tilla
mook and James John Hogh schools,
and Astoria had won preliminary de
bates from Scappoose High.
Miss Shipley, for the affirmative.
opened the debate, at Gresham, declar
ing tnat private railroad ownership
has resulted In serious abuses, such as
excessive charges, confining develop
ment to paying routes, private control
of tha country's prosperity and dis
crimination between - commodities
places and individuals.
Tho speaker also brought out the
point that present conditions warn us
that some radical chance is necessarv.
and, since the Interstate commerce
commission in 27 years has not
achieved adequate regulation, the only
remaining plan is ownership by the
government, which has the people's
welfare, not money, at stake.
Mr. Halsan, opening for the nega
tive, declared that. , while strict regu
lation was desirable, government own
ership would be an unwarranted in
fringement upon private capital -invested
in railroads, forcing It to seek
other channels, thus causing an indus
trial revolution: would unfairly reap
profits of industry developed by pri
vate capital, and would-demoralise oth
er enterprises.
The speaker also maintained that
government ownership Is unnecessary,
as present facilities are adequate, and"
would be Inexpedient, as so vast an
undertaking by the government would
result in extravagance and Inefficiency.
Miss Volbrecht, second, affirmative
speaker, argued that government own
ership Is a complete success in Prus
sia, Switzerland and other European
countries with governments Bimilar to
ours, and that no nation ever returned
to private ownership. She further
demonstrated that It is practical as the
government now successfully operates
the Panama railroad.
Miss Spande. second negative speak
er, declared government ownership
would be a positive detriment econom
ically, contrasting the loss of govern
ment owned railroads In France with
the greatest commercial nation. Great
Britain, which has private ownership,
and stated that the efficiency of pri
vately owned railroads in the United
States Is unparalleled by those of other
nations. She also called government
ownership politically unwise, citing
the menace of an army of government
employes.
Mr. Halsan closed for the negative,
declaring that government ownership
eliminates competition and means un
profitable over expansion, "If govern
ment regulation is a failure, govern
ment ownership will be a failure." he
said. "But if government regulation
Is a success, there is no need for gov
ernment ownership." He pointed out
that Prussia has a different form of
governrrtent from tiiat of this country,
and has no labor unions.
Miss Shipley closed the debate for
the affirmative, citing Switzerland as
a government ownership country with
a governmeiit similar to ours, and de
claring the capacity of the American
people equal to even so vast an under
taking as government railroad owner
ship. .
A. R. Lyman, chairman of the even
ing, praised the careful preparation of
the debaters. The judges were Princi
pal C. G. Thomas of the college pre
paratory course of central Y. M. C. A.,
and Attorneys R. F. Peters and Wil
liam LaForie, all of Portland. Miss
Bernice Hargrove gave a piano solo,
and a piano duet was rendered by Miss
Anna Brugger and Miss Viola Dinger.

(Washington Btirrau of The Journal.)
Washington. Feb. 12. Application
of the Southern Pacific for relief from
the long and short haul clause of the
interstate commerce law on ship
ments of rough green lumber from
Oregon points to San Francisco points
has been denied by the Interstate
Commerce commission. The Southern
Pacific asked to continue the present
rates, which are higher to intermedi
ate points than to San Francisco. The
commission's order is effective May 1.
J. N. Teal argued today before the
commission in behalf of Kastern Ore
gon Lumber Producers' association in
the case against the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific, etc. The lumber pro
ducers of Baker and Union counties
are seeking to have Spokane, Butte and
Silver Bow gateways opened to the
movement of lumber from that dis
trict on the same basis as applies from
northern roads through same gate
ways to points on the Harnman lines.
Proposed increased freight rates on
cement are not justified from Salt
Lake and Devil's Slide. Utah, to Butte,
Anaconda and other points in Mon
tana and Idaho, according to a ruling
made today by the Interstate Com
merce commission.
The effect of the decision in ref
erence to rough green lumber will be
that on and after May 1 the Southern
Pacific, will have to carry such lum
ber from Willamette valley points.

and Oswego, on the west side, to
points in the San Francisco bay dis
trict, this side of San Francisco, at
17 ia cents per 100 pounds, which is
the rate charged on this material to
San Francisco. For several years the
company liaa charged HM cents tot
San Francisco from the Willamette
valley mills, but from these name
mills to Intermediate points in Cali
fornia, such as Sacramento or Red
Bluff, a 2o cent rate applied.
In 1910 the Interstate commerce act
vas amended so that the railroads
waiving the long and short, haul clause
had to secure permission from the
commission and the decision Just ren
dered comes upon the application of
the Southern Pacific to waive opera
tion under the clause.
In other words, the decision means
a reduction of the rate from the Wil

Bemonstraac Trota Many aidss,
Salem, Or., Feb. 12. By an almost
unanimous vote this morning the
house voted down the so called anti
trespass bill, II. B. 448, which forbids
the us of railroad tracks or right of
way for persons not suthorised to go
upon them. Kven Mr. Wsntworth,
who introduced ths measure, was
constrained to vote against it, and
when the vote was cast up, Dr. A,j C.
Smith and Vernon A. Forbes were the
only ones favoring the bill. I .
As soon as the bill was read Hunt
and Paisley for the farmers rose; up
in protest. Home saw in -it a jfar
reaching and deep laid plot of the
railroads to encroach further upon the
rights of labor. Littlefield saw In it
a legal way for railroads to evade
damage claims. Jeffries saw in It n
hardship upon communities that have
poor roads.
The Muts were down yesterday and
lobbied for the bill, and the measure
was previously urged by the Portland
puffllc safety commission.
