The debate took on somewhatof a serious aspect. as the audiencewas asked to refrain from applauseon account of the recent death ofPresident Harper.The question under discussionwas. "Resolved that a commissionshould have power to fix railroadrates. Michigan argued for theaffirmative and Chicago assumedthe negative. Each speaker wasallowed twelve minutes for his111�n speech and five minutes forrebuttal.

The conferences on personal re­ligion which are being held thisweek have commenced in earnest.The meeting which was held inMandel Sunday night was of a veryimpressive nature. The addressby Dr. Abbott and the direct andheartfelt words of the representa­rive members of the University ap­pealed with exceptional force tothe largest. exclusively student,audience.These conferences represent nochurch or theology. They are theexpression of the religious life ofthe University itself.Dr. Lyman Abbott spoke in aninspiring way of "what it is to be a .Christian." He pictured the moralheroism of Christ's life. He said;"To be a Christian is not a theo­logical matter, not a matter of be­longing to some church but it is aquestion of a man or woman de­siring to follow Christ and beingwilling to sacrifice for others."The three minute talks which fol­Iowed were }orcef�l: .. and to the.point. Dean Small said that whatwas needed was more loyalty totruth. Dean Shepardson empha­sized the two great things, "Godand immortality." Dean Brecken­ridge spoke of the proper prepara­tion for the larger life. Mr. HenryPorter Chandler spoke of the needof radiating light and service. DeanVincent urged the point that thereligious life is au expression ofloyalty to ideals=-ideals for whichthe University has always stood.Dr. C. R. Henderson, the Univer­sity Chaplain, made an appeal for aconsideration on the part of all ofthe essential rather that the super­ficial things of christianity.At the close of the addressesDean Mathews, chairman of thereligious conferences.. read a com­munication from A.cting PresidentJudson, expressing regret in viewof his inability to be present at themass meeting and also his entiresympathy with the religious meve­merit.This afternoon in Cobb ChapelDr. \V, C.

Mr. l\lat­thews showed cffcctivelv how manyof the alleged evils cO;l1plained ofbv the affirmative would not be re­l1;o\,ed 1)\' their measure.Mr. }{awlins -in answering thenegati vc, said that secret rebateswere not a� important as their op­ponents had indicated and that theremedy was publicity and criminalprosecution. He quoted Prof. :\le)'-.er on unjust discrimination. The in­justice was shown by overchargesmade to offset undercharges. Thepower of the commission was takenaway by the Supreme Court in 1897and the revcsting in the commis­sion would benefit the shipper andnot hurt the railroad. The shipperwould have a speedy remedy thatwould benefit the railroad and thenation.Mr. Lewinsohn continued for thenegative. He pointed out that itwas insuffiicent for the gentlemenfr0111 Michigan to pile up instancesof discrimination and other evilswithout showing how the remedythey proposed would cure them.These evils arose from defectivemachinery rather than mistakenprinciples in the law of today. Heshowed how the defects in the lawcould be cured without a resort tothe daugcrous legislation proposedby the affirmative. The negative,he said. oppose the measure be­cause it will result in rigid, inelas­tic rates. That this is true is shownby the testimony of business menand the experience of countrieswher a commission has been givenrate-fixing powers. Elastic ratesdevelop new territories, build upindustries. and make trade national.Inelastic rates would make ourmarkets provinicial and our indus­tries local.Mr. Malcom denied that thecourts had power to fix rates, butonly to pass on their unreasonable­ness. He showed how practicableit would be for a commission tostop rebates and by a chart showed,why a commission should say notmerely that a certain rate waswrong but that a certain other onewas right. Another chart showedthe immense power of railroads bycomparing their financial operationswith many public and private ex­penditures. He offered his remedyas speedy, certain and logical. Hecited the English method of regu­lation and accounted for the higherrates in England.Xlr. Mcli.lroy showed the differ­ence between the plan of rate fix­ing by a commission, and rate fix­ing by the railroads held in checkby the courts. He pointed out. thatthe measure proposed by the affirm­ative would create a small bodywith tremendous powers. Thiscommision could wreck railroadsand destroy localities.
