INTER-CGLLEG1ATE DEBATE.
First Ever Held at OAC Will be
May 5th.
The fiast inter-collegiate debate
ever held at OAC will occir Sat
urday, May 5. The occasion
will be the first annual contest be
tween the state college of Wash
ington and OAC. From all in
dications the debate will be of a
high order. Both teams will be
well prepared and the question
which is a national issue will un
doubtedly be ably handled.
OAC will uphold the affirma
tive and W. S. C. the negative of
the question: "Aside from its
constitutionality that this govern
ment should support a general
Income tax." This question
opens for discussion one of the
greatest economic questions that
confronts the American nation,
that of taxation. The speakers
will be informed on all phases of
the topic, and without doubt
much valuable information can
be gained by listening to the con
test. ' '
lhe Washington college is
sending down a team of veteran
debaters and is confident of a vic
tory. Their team will be. led by
F. O. Kreagcr, a veteran of seven
inter-collegiate debates, a Sweat,
forceful talker, and ' who was
pronounced by the Walla Walla
papers after his appearance there,
to be the best speaker ot- the
evening.
H. C. Todd, the second speak
er, has an excellent reputation,
having won the inter-collegiate
oratorical contest for his college,
led a team to' victory over the TJ.
of I, and is recognized as one of
the best men the W. S. C. has
ever developed. The third man
on the team, R. E. Chapman,
while not backed by so long a
record, is a strong . speaker and
will do good work for the team.
Against that trio of veterans
OAC will send its team. Owing
to the fact that this is the first
season that inter-collegiate de
bating has been supported in this
schcol, the local team have not
had the experience that their op
ponents are possessed of, yet this
handicap does not necessarily
mean that they will not be able
to cope with the eloquent gentle
men in the act ol debating.
Miss Minette Phillip will open
the discussion for OAC and her
speech will be followed by M. S.
Belden, and the last speech and
rebuttal will be given to Mark
Weatherford. While this team
has not a long record for debating!
they have been working hard and
will go on the platform with a
liberal amount of information up
on the question, and whether they
win or not they will be able to
handle their side of the question
in a manner worthy of consider
ation. The Mass Meeting.
Much activity resulted from
the mass meeting called by Mayor
A. J. Johnson to occur at the
court house Fridav evening.
The Mayor presided and in the
absence of Judge Watters, who
had departed for San Francisco
that day, Alex. Rennie stated
what he understood to be the de
sire of the court in regard to im
mediate aid for the distressed of
devastated San Francisco. .
The understanding was that
owing to the urgency ot the case
the county was willing to stand
for assistance to the needy of the
Bay City in the sum of $600 or
$700. The mayor appointed a
committee composed ot B. W.
Johnson, Thomas Callahan and
Robert Johnson to proceed im
mediately with the work of load
ing a car with provisions.
As a result of this action a car
was started to San FraDcisco
Saturday evening. The car con
tained oo pounds of ham 107
barrels of flour, 400 bushels of
potatoes, 31 cases of' eggs and
2000 loaves of bread. The food
stuffs in the car were of the pro
bable value of $1000. ' Two more
carloads are to follow. In this
connection Augnst Fischer, of the
Corvailis Flouring Mills, deserves
great credit for allowing the flour
to go at the price of wheat.
At the mass meeting held in
the Opera House Sunday after
noon there was a large crowd.
Many contributions were receiv
ed' Mayor A. J. Johnson ,prer
sided and appointed the follow
ing committees:
uenerai ana f inance com
mittee, B. W. Johnson, Eobt

Of RALSTON HEALTH SHOES are Right'
The laws that govern foot-structure are
applied to the making of ail Ralston
Health Shoes. Every partlof a Ralston is
in proper proportion to every other part.
That means Ralston Health Shoes don't dis
tort or vary the natural, structural Hues of
the boot to achieve style. They are the most
stylish shoes on the market, yet they never
depart from the hygienic principle of nature
proportions. Ralstons will feel like home to
your feet. They fit the feet at the start no
need of breaking in.
