BIG DEBATING CONTE8T8 IN" THE
WE8T LA8T WEEK.
Triangular League Holds First
bates Michigan sand North-
Do-
western Are Winners. "
x:
Activity In wostorn debating blroles
opened last week with dpublb header
contests by tho Universities ..of" Chi
cago, Michigan nnd Northwestern.
Theso schools compoBo tho Triangular
Debating League which was organized
last spring,
The contests were hold FrJday night,
each university being represented by
two teams, Michigan . debated Chi
cago at Ann Arbor and Northwestern
at EvaiiBton. Chicago contested with
Northwestern In the Windy CCy. Both .
of the Michigan teams won their de-
bates; tho Chicago teams 'lost both
of their contests and Northwestern
won one debate and IPst the- other.
All decisions wore unanimous.
Tho question debated by tho Trian
gular teams Is: "Resolved, That u
progressive Inheritance tatf should be
lovled by tho Federal Government,
constitutionality conceded." Each
school debated on both sides of tho
question, as Nebraska will do on tho
municipal ownership question In the
coming contests with Illinois and Wis-'
cousin. ' A 1
In outline tho winning argument
presented by 'Michigan's afllrniatlvo
team declares: That no natural right
to Inheritance exists; that, rather; In
heritance is a privilege extended by ,
and under the control of dhe govern
moht; that Swollen fortunes are. a
menace to tho national welfare, and
an equitable distribution can only be ';,
secured thru, a - progressive inheri
tance tax. '' '"-,'
Chicago's - argument lii tne nega
tive declared :JrThat federal) gpyern- , t,
men'i has no need of revenue fronl .
such a tax; that; the states need' full
use of the right to leyylnheritance
taxes In order, to remedy local 'abuses,
and, furthermore .that the federal tax.
Is an unwarranted, encroachment up
on the rights of states. - , ,
The Maroon debaters orithenega- . ,'
tlvo side argued that abuses exist In
tho present tariff schedules; that,' a
revision of these duties would mean a v
loss to the federal government In, rev
enue, and that an easy way to. 'meet,
thlB Increase would .be by .levying the
Norhwestern's argument for the .
negative said that there was no, need .'
for a federal Inheritance tax, but that
the states had every need of the tax;
that the federal government had other
means of raising revenue; that the,
question , pf Improving the tariff by
eliminating the fpur obnoxious duties
was not under discussion, but that tji'o
Inheritance tax .must be considered as
levied under existing conditions. .
