SOPHOMORES WIN DEBAT- ING CHAMPIONSHIP SENIORS LOSE BY A UNANIMOUS , DECISION, DELTA SIGMA Rill ELECTION Federal Incorporation of All Interstate industries is uiscussea Pro and Con. r The sophomore dobatlng team won the InteTclass championship yesterday morning at 'convocation over the senior toam. The sophomoreB'had pre viousiy defeated the freshmen, and the seniors the juniors. The question de bated was, "Resolved, that corpora tions dolpg an interstate business should be incorporated and controlled by the "federal government." The con stitutionality of the question was waived. t'. Tke sophomore team 'was composed of H. B.' English of Lincoln; G. R. Mann of Ord and C. 3. Radcliffe of Sid ney, and had been coached, by Joseph Swenson. The seniors were W. T. Wolvington of Chadron, A.,M..-Hare of Albion and J. E. Lawrence of Beatrice, The judges, Prof. H. W. Caldwell, Prof. F. .M. Fling and Dean W. G. Hnst ingsC'rende'reda Unahlmous 'de'clBloh for the affirmative as supported by the sophomores. , Affirmative Argument. Mr. Englishas the first ' speaker on the affirmative stated "the "question as he saw it. He said that the present 'state laws were retardlvo forces. The federal government was alone able .to .. control the' gigantic corporations. The railroads today control 50 per cent of the productive industries of the coun try. One-twelfth of the total wealth of the TJnited States Ms controled by twenty-four men of the U. S. Steel cor poration. He quoted authorities to show that federal control is right in principal. He thought political union necessury. Mr. Munnaaid that a Btate could not secure tin, equitable interstate rate nor i could states make an equitable classi fication. He caused a great -deal of amusement by some of his remarks. Mr. Radcliffe arguqd that neither states nor governments could cdhtrol the corporations now. He' said state legislation merely drovve business to 4 other states. Federal control was right in principle, it1 ls anatlonal V problem, It Is more expedient andj no government was the .only , authority ' who could' deal effectively 'with our ,, present great capitalization. ' Negative Contentions. ( Mr. Wolvington for the negatlve'con tended that uniform laws were' not practical In different sections of tlie country. He quoted decisions of courts to show that the. states had complete control over foreign and do mestic corporations. He argued Ibat if there was federal incorporation the states woujd have; no control over the corporations. Mr. Hare quoted sev-' eral prominent men-who. opposed-federal control. He thpught it better for each state and congress to control cor poratlons than to have congress, alone do It. Mv Lawrence made the clos-, Ing-nddress, quoting authorities -and decisions to show that states could control and. were controlling, r, Tho rebuttal brought forth some spirited- debating, Each aide did, ex ceptionally well In this. Mr. English's closing speech, howover, clinched tho debate" f6r tho'sophombros. Delta Sigma Rho. ?1L M. M. Fogg presided over the debate. Secretary Stout, of tho local Phi Beta Kappa chapter read the nameB of those elected from this year's senior class. B. M.
