DEBATE TAKES PLACE TONIGHT

Ed Rose is 11l and Robert Reeve as Substitute Will Be One of Debaters at Delphi.

The merits of an income tax are to be sifted this evening. At the high school auditorium in Rensselaer Dwight Curnick and Russell Warren will contend that it is a good thing, while two young high school lads from Delphi, William Mahanna and Frank Wagoner, will contend that the tax is not practical. Simultaneously Elvyn Allman and Robert Reeve will support the negative side of the income tax question at Delphi, their opponents being Lake Rariden and Floyd Swartz. Ed Rose had been chosen as one of the debaters to go to Delphi, but illness prevented him from going and Robert Reeve was the first substitute. He is regarded one of the able debaters in the high school and is expected to make a good showing there. The debate promises to be very interesting and it is expected that a good audience will turn out here to listen to the embryo statesmen.
