DEBATE PROVES INTERESTING Affirmative Given Decision in Discus- sion “Resolved That Socialism Is Preferable to Présent Order.” GISLASON MAKES IMPRESSION Talk on “Public Discusson and Demo- oracy” Well Received Both For Instructiveness and Humor. With the financial end of Univer- sity. week is now assured and the in- terest which is being shown by citi- zens of Bemidji in the week’s enter- tainment, the success of the “week” i8 now practically a certainty. The initial program of the series wdfs given in the High school auditor- ium yesterday afternoon and was at-] tended by a fair sized gathering. The hit of the afternoon was made, by Professor H. B. Gislason, speaking on Public Discussion and Democracy. Mr. Gislason’s humor added to his talk, which to say the least was in-| structive. -He stated that he was often requested to give his ophgion of woman suffrage. As to whether or not he believed in it and if he] thought it was coming, ‘and that al- ways hls answer was the same, “I al- ways get off the track when I see a train approaching.” Dr. James Davis gave an interest- ing talk on thé Rvolution of Song: His singing was much enjoyed. Public Health, by Dr. Keene, was not only interesting hold- ing the attention of his‘audience, but * was instructive. . Dafiate Proves Interesting. ~The: difordum . was filled to'wits] capacity when the hour for the de- bate, “Resolved That Socialism is Preferable to the Present Order,” ar- rived. It was noticeable that a large number in the audience were social- ists. Superintendent Dyer announced previous to the debate that he had taken it upon himself to select the judges and had tried to be as im- partial as possible. He selected four men, G- D. Backus, G. M. Torrance, Nels Hakkerup and F. M. Malzahn. The latter two being members of the Bemidji order of socialists. These|. four gentlemen selected the fifth judge, making J. P. Lahr their choice. If the impression had been formed that the debate was cut and dried, that impression was made to be cast aside by listening to the arguments on each side. The young men proved their cases in such an able manner that the audience was about evenly split as to which side should be an- nounced the winners. cii The decision of the judges was three for the affirmative and two for the negative. Bemidji was the second of seven places where the debate re- sulted in favor of the affirmative, Rochester being the other. The affirmative was handled by Stanley Gillam of Windom, and H. L. were Carl Painter and Edwin Dalh-| berg, both of Minnapolis. Judah Given This Evening. versity week will be given this eve- ning in the armory when the Uni- rsity drgmatic club appears in Ju- dah.

IS MAN OF MUCH EXPERIENCE With the leaving of A. H. Kuhlman high school -agriculturist for Wiscon- sin where he will enter the faculty of ‘the university of that state, B. M. Gile today assumed the responsibill- ties of that position. Mr. Gile comes to Bemidji with many recommendations as being an agriculturist of high rank. He was raised on a dairy and stock farm in southern Wisconsin, and received a teacher’s certificate for his home state in 1908. For two years Mr. Gile was princi- pal of the Edgerton high school, where he.taught physics, chemistry and geometry. He recently received his B. S. A. degree. % Mr. Gile has taught at the short course of the Wisconsin university during the 1912-1913 terms. He will take up the work where. it was left by Mr. Kuhlman. In speaking of his new duties Mr. Gile said this morning: “I was impressed with Bemidji and the progressive spirit of the people residing here on my first visit sever- al weeks ago. I believe that there are great opportunities along agricul- tural lines in this country and 1 will try and do my part in making the best of these opportunities during i my connection with the high school.” . Professor Kuhlman is leaving Be- |5 mldji for several reasons. He is sec-|t retary and treasurer of the Wisconsin Chester White Swine Breeders’ asso-|,, ciation and is connected with his /{father in the cattle and swine busi- ness at Lowell, Wisconsin, Mr. Kuhl-| ! i ricultural college this coming school In connection Kuhlman says: “l have been much interested in|tl my work here and feel that the agri-|o cultural department of ° ;lu ‘high schoot-Is B-groatsthing- fef oo munity at la¥ge.

By combining dairy-|s ing with potatoes and corn the soil fertility is increased, which is very necessary around Bemidji. “I firmly believe that the agricul- tural department of the higb school is a great benefit to the farmer.

Substantial Victory in the Famous Rate Cases. DECISION BY JUSTICE HUGHES Minneapolis and St. Louis Tariff are Held Unconstitutional While Oth- . ers Are Upheld By Court: IS OF EXCEPTIONAL IMPORTANCE So-Called State Rate Cases Have Pre- sented to High Court Momentous Problems of Decade. ‘Washington, June 10.—The state of Minnesota-won a substantial vic- tory in the-supreme court yesterday when in the Minnesota state rate case, Justice Hughies, for the court, held that the rates fixed by the legis- lature for:the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad ‘were confiscatory and unconstitutional, but that the-rates imposed upon the Northern Pacific and Great Northern were valid. The decision was a victory for the state on ‘the interstate commerce phases of the controversy and upon the confiscatory features, with the exception of the pdktion affecting the Minneapolis & St. Louis The so-called “state rate” cases have presented to the supreme court one of the momentous problms of the Cecade, In general terms, . this group of cases called upon the court to decide two questions. One was whether thg states, in passing maximum, freight and two-cent passenger laws, had un- duly interfered with interstate com- merce. The other was whether those laws cbnflscated the property of the railroads by requiring them 1o trans- dct’ bm:fim at a’loss. "The group conisisted of forty-five cases. -All arose out of ‘the: legisla- tion enacted. by state legislatures about 1907, or just after the Fed- eral government had passed the Hep- burn rate law. The forty-five cases concerned directly the laws in six states—Minnesota, Missouri, Ken- tucky, Oregon, Arkansas and West Virginia. Similar litigation arose in Alabama, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and South Dokota. In all, it was said that seventy- six suits in Federal courts depended upon the decision in the forty-five cases before the supreme court. The Minnesota rate cases arose out of suits by stockholders of the North- ern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroads against the companies to enjoin them from obeying the maximum frejght and two-cent passenger laws as un- constitutional and against the state officials to enjoin them from enforc- ing the laws. Judge Sanborn of the United States circuit court for Min- nesota held the laws unconstitutional, of a confiscatory nature, and that they burdened interstate commerce. The three suits were appealed to the supreme court. The contest over the interstate commerce feature of the controversy was similar to that in the Missouri cases. In the Missouri cases, however, the state and the railroads had agreed upon the valuation of the railroads, upoh which the percentage of income from rates was to be figured: No such agreement was reached in the Minnesota cases, and a bitter contest arose over the holding of Judge San- born that the fair valuation of a rail- road property was its “cost of repro- duction new.” CHIPPEWA CHIEF VISITS BEMIDJT Ed Rogers, County Attorney of Cass, Was Here Yesterday. Ed Rogers ot Walker, county attor- ney of Cass county and who was re- cently elected chief of the Chippewa Indians at their Cass Lake conven- tion, was in Bemidji yesterday on le- gal business.
