GO TO ROSEBURG AND SEE WRECK DRYS HAVE MADE tank Deposits Fall OiT Half Mil lion Dollars in Dry Town ASSESSMENTS MICH HIGHER Real Estate Offered for Sale at Less Than Valuation ButNo Bidders The Committee of One Hundred ay: "If you wrint to TihI nt wlnit dry Oregon will (In for Oregon, no lu KoHclnirg mill sco what dry Ho churjf hit aocoiiipliMicii," Here's what il htis done. It has cut down the bank dcpnSi by over JSOO.OOO, in spite of tins fact that there are now four banks to the two in existence when Rose burg had licensed saloons, and that the population has increased in pro portion to the settling up of South ern Oregon by new settlers snd Im migration. , When Roieburg had licensed ss- loons the tax levy, on one-third of the valuation wss two mills. Since Rocburg hss gone dry the tsx levy has varied from eight to ten mills on s full vslustion; and In addition occupstlon taxes have been stcsdily Incrcssed. The Committee of One Hundred boasts that dry Roseburg has erected a SI 15,000 hotel. The hotel wss erected in 1613, stood idle and ten- snilrss for four months, snd was rescued from the bsnkruptcy court by libcrsl business men of the city, among whom were E. L. Parrot, C W. Parks. Joseph Micelli. A. N. Or- cott'snd Henry Hart, all of whom are radically opposed to t dry town. The Committee of One Hundred alio boasts of the armory ss sn achievement. The srmory wss built by slate, county snd city funds com bined,' snd is not yet completed. Over MO lesding business men have signed t petition calling for a local option election In Roseburg this yesr, snd such an election will be held. Mny empty store buildings are to be found on the leading business streets a condition thst never ex isted when Roieburg bad licensed saloons. Scores of dwelling houses sre vacant for the first time in the history of the city. John Hunter, a leading contractor and formerly a supporter of the drys, Is now advertising in Roseburg pa pers: Business block for sale for $500 less than present as , sessed vsluation. Another property owner has of fered four psrcels of inside prop erty for sale at less than the as sessed valuation, and has not even received a tender. One of, the lesders of the dry forces In Roseburg is a man who as I former agent of the Albany brew ery made his fortune, and who to day is the owner of a drug store. He wss at one time prominent in politics, was repudiated by the vot ers of Douglas -County, and is now said to be seeking to place lieuten ants in office through the dry -movement. Beggars are common on the streets, and many poor families are appeal ing to the local bankers for aid. And yet the Committee of One Hundred says: "If you want to find out what Ore gon dry will do for Oregon go to ' Roseburg and see what dry Roseburg has accomplished.'' - -- --- PUT YOUR ft mm pf f f uuifflli (1 M A (OAMPLE DALLOT) 7 Par lynlidw la Coafraaa 13 JOHN DOE 13 RICHAJU) ROE For (Jotted SUM Senator IS JOHN DOE 19 HICHARD ROE For Governor 23 JOHN DOE 23 RICHARD ROE REFERRED TO PEOPL For aa Amendment of Section 2, ArtirW U, Etc, 300 Ya 301 No .

Crand Jury In Dry Town Says Too , Much Liquor Sold Raps Doctors. . Hood River is one of the "dry" towns that the Committee of OnO Hundred hasn't said anything about. But "business Is fine" there too, es peciatly in the drug stores. The Oc tober grand jury spent some days, looking into the matter, and reported on it. In fact about all the grand jury did was to probe the liquor sit uation in "dry" Hood River, thus spending the taxpayers' money to discover if prohibition prohibited. This is what they found out, II set forth In their formal report to the Circuit Court on October 0, 1914: "Nearly all of the time of tho grand jufy has been taken up with consideration of alleged violations of the local option law within this Juris diction. We have received the report of the sheriff of the county as to the quantity of intoxicating liquor shipped into this county during the last threo months. By this report It appearo -that a large amount of liquor bio been shipped to private Individuals during the period, and presumably procured and used legally. It fur ther appears that the quantity re ceived by the drug stores during tho period was considerably more than during the preceding three months, and too large to be disposed of In accordance with the section of the lo cal option law regulating the writing of prescriptions by physicians, and la this connection we call the attention of physicians of Hood River County to Section 4921 of Lord's Oregon Lawa. "We recommend that the physi cians confine themselves more close ly to the letter of this section of tho local option law." The report is signed by Joseph Frazier, Jr., as foreman. LIQUOR BUSINESS FINE SINCE EU GENE IS "DRY" Booth era Pacific Bhlpnents ladlesto Bow Normal Demand is SUIl Met, EUGENE, Lane County's "model" prohibi- ' tion city, and the seat of the ' state university, is ' NT A "DRY" TOWN. From January I to October 1 of this year there were shipped Into Euscne 102,457 QUARTS OF BEER. From' January 1 to October 1 of this year there were shipped 'into Eugene 3,490 QUARTS OF LIQUOR. Of this amount there went to one drug sjore S21 QUARTS OF LIQUOR. Express company records show these figures. . IS EUGENE "I)RY"T VOTE 333 X NO. Jokes mlOry" Amendment! Admitted bv "Drvs" fe-ri ...... Big'- Blunder in Misleading "Prohibition" Campaign is Made ''.' J. E. Wheeler, Chairman of the -Committee of One Hundred Admits in Public Print That prohibition is an infringement of personal liberty. That the word "distribution ' was deliberately left out of the proposed '0110' amendment. That "any citizen" may ship liquor "direct from 'some other. state,'' into "his own home." Every Claim Made by the Anti-Prohibition Forces Against the Proposed Prohibition . Amendment in Oregon is Confessed in the Three Above Admissions. EUGENE. The Committee of Oas Hundred, together with other prohibi tion organizations, boasts that Eugens, the aeat of the University of Oregon, is one of their "model" dry towaa. And they say "business ia fine" thsra. Inveatigation provea that in tha ani versity city at least one form of baat neaa ia good the mail order liquor business. From January 1 to October 1 thla yar, the Southern Faeifie alona haa . shipped into dry Eugene from outside points: . 1,342 barrels of beer, 85 eases of liquor, 69 kegs of liquor 21 barrels of liquor. This is enough liquor to stock on busy saloon for a year. Doubtless similar amounts have been sent in "br the Oregon Eleetrie Rail way, and by the several express eom- ' panies operating within the city. Tha records do not show the amounts in each keg, ease or barrel, but' the fig urea in any event indicate that there has been a vast amount of liquor con sumed in "dry" Eugene from, whiek the city has received no license re turns at all. The Committee of One Hundred aaya "business is fine in dry towns," but it has failed to specify the kind of; business. Official records at Eugene, the home of the state university, where hundreds of yonng men and women got from all parte of the state, apeak for. themselves. Eugene Matron Finds Liqsor. ' EUGEN'E. Though one of the po licemen had failed to find liquor upon' the person of a drunk picked up on tha streets here, Mrs. J. R. Cox, police ma tron, succeeded in discovering tare quarts of whisky eoncealed in the pris oner's clothes, and confiscated the li quor. Albany Bootlegger Guilty. ALBANY. A. J.

Thomas Irving Terrill, a, local restaurant man, haa been -fined $200 for selling beer in his place of business in violation of the loeal op tion statutes.. His trial is the first of twelve to follow a dozen indictments handed down by the September grand jury, each one relating to liquor lan violationa in Linn county. 1 King Albert Kind to His Men. King Albert saw ono of his soldlors fouling n letter nnd nuked to whom he w-nn writing. The soldier replied thot he whs writing to his mother. There upon the king offered to post tho let ter, and did so. THE ANTI-PROHIBITION FORCES HAVE STEADFASTLY CLAIMED: That "prohibition is gn infringement of personal liberty." Mr. Wheeler admits it, word for word, in publio print ' That "prohibition will not prohibit." Mr. Wheeler's admission proves his Committee of One Hundred is not trying to prohibit. That prohibition does hot mean DRY Oregon. ' That "prohibition would be a death blow to the present healthy growth of true temperance sentiment in the land." Mr. Wheeler's admission proves it. That "prohibition would let down the bars to BLIND PIGGERS and BOOT-LEGGEIIS, who would deal in deadly decoctions." The same law would allow' any blind pigger with a HOME to ship liquor "direot from some other state" to HIS own home, for the BLIND PIGGER is as much of a "CITIZEN" as any other man or woman in Oregon. And the blind pigger, because he is NOT UNDER INSPECTION by federal, state or city officials, will make one barrel of PURE WINE, BEER or LIQUOR into'a DOZEN BARRELS OF TOISONOUS BEVERAGES that will make a new generation of imbeciles, idiots and criminals in Oregon. ' Mr. Wheeler's Three Blundering Admissions are the Best Three Reasons why His Misnamed, Misleading "Prohibition Amendment" is an Alarming.
