FALLS CITY WINS
Falls City and Tecumseh Debated
Saturday Night
The debate between the Kalis
City and Tecumseh high schools,
was held in the court house last
Saturday night before a good
crowd.
The subject was compulsory
arbitration in the settlement of
the differences between the rail
road s and employees. Tecumseh
fa cored compulsory arbitration
and Kalis City opposed it.
Reavis (list urged the uncon
stitutionality of t h e proposed
scheme in a legal argument of
unusual excellence a n d showed
conclusively that it was in viola
tion of the loth and 14th amend
ments to the constitution.
Miss Louise Rule argued the
inexpediency of compulsory arbi
tration- Her argument was
clear and concise and was deliv
ered in a way that brought joy to
her frienfls ami partisans.
Vergil l'alloon contended that
a rigid enforcement of present
laws would render any additional
legislation, such as compulsory
arbitration, unnecessary.
Messrs Davidson, Chamberlain
and Davis were the Tecumseh de
baters.
The judges were unanimous
for Kalis City.
