Mr.

denounced

tings

He
warned

that,

Referring
to

Mr.

as
serted
that

declared
that,

Jan.
13:
A
very
Interesting
debate
was
held
in
the
Oddfellows'
Hall,
Terrace
last
Thursday
evening,
the
subject
being,
"Resolved
that
the
Canadian
National
and
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railways
should
amalgamate
under
government
control
and
management."
Jack
Sparkes,
Dudley
Little
and
John
Smith
of
Kltsumgallum
High
School
Literary
Society
upheld
the
affirmative
side.
Fred
Hall,
Donald
Burnett
ana
R.
W.
Riley,
representing
the
Native
Sons
of
Canada,
spoke
in
favor
of
the
negative
side.
The
::.ief
points
brought
out
by
the
affirmative
were
as
follows:
1
Thd
competition
of
the
two
railways
running
side
by
side
does
not
pay
either
one
and
the
public
is
obliged
to
make
up
the
deficits.
2.
Government
revenue
secured
through
Its
operation
of
railways
helps
the
public
In
general,
rather
than
any
private,
individuals.
3.
In
times
of
stress
privately
owned
railways
usually
appeal
to
the
government
for
aid.
This
could
be
avoided
by
government
ownership.
4.
The
government
limits
the
activities
of
even
privately
owned
railways.
It
would
therefore
be
an
advantage
for
the
government
to
own
and
operate
the
railways
under
one
head.
The
outstanding
arguments
of
the
negative
were
as
follows:
1.
Government
ownership
destroys
competition.
Monopolistic
control
Is
not
in
the
best
Interests
of
service
to
the
public.
2.
In
government
control
of
railways
the
public
Is
pledged
to
a
heavy
Investment
for
which
there
is
only
a
fractional
return.
3.
In
the
case
of
privately
own-
:d
railways
deficits
are
made
up
by
the
shareholders.
The
public
does
r.ot
suffer.
4.
Politics
are
apt
to
creep
into
the
operation
of
government
owned
railways.
5.
There
Is
a
more
business-like
administration
of
privately
owned
railways
than
is
found
in
the
case
of
those
operated
by
the
govern
ment.
Affirmative
Wins
The
audience
was
keenly
Inter
ested
throughout.
The
manner
of
most
of
the
speakers
was
forceful
and
convincing.
After
very
careful
deliberation,
the
Judges
decided
that
the
affirmative
had
won
by
a
very
narrow
margin.
S.
Klrkaldy,
C.
W.
MlcMel.
Miss
Bessie
Moore
and
R.
B.
Wallace
acted
as
Judges.
After
the
debate
Fred
Hall
gave
a
humorous
reading
which
concerned
a
skunk
and
a
piece
of
cheese.
Orchestral
numbers
were
rendered
bv
Mr.
and
he
two
Misses
McLaren.
The
hah
was
then
cleared
and
danclnf
was
enjoyed
until
midnight
musk
beinc
supnlied
by
the
Town
Orchestra.
After
delightful
refreshments
the
guests
dispersed.
All
are
looking
forward
to
enjoying
such,
another
event
in
the
near
future.
The
Native
Sons
deserve
a
great
deal
of
credit
for
their
efforts
In
submitting
this
form
of
educational
entertainment.
It
Is
Interesting
to
note
that
three
of
he
six
debaters
were
native
sons
of
Terrace.
