11 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, 3I01VUAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1909. GOUNUEN Fill! IE Say Plan to Close Half of Sa loons Is Impractical and Costly. POINT TO CUT IN REVENUE Liquor License Committee Opposed to Having Churches Care for Idlers, Who Would Be Home less With Saloons Closed. Mayor Lane's proposition to close half of th lalnoM, provided the churches of Portland throw open their churches and furnish hot coffee and free reading-rooms i to the barroom loafers and the unem : ployed, is not more acceptable to the ' members of the liquor license committee of the City Council than it Is to the mln ; lstry. The -Lane method of doing away with half of the saloons and. as a balm for the reduction, cutting off half of the police force. In the opinion of a number of the city dads, ifi "impractical" and "not feasible." All of the members of the liquor license committee are heartily in favor of absolute control of the saloons and of driving the dlvekeeper out of business. They also say. If Mayor Lane's scheme was carried out. that the finances of the city would be seriously depleted. At pres ent there are 432 saloons doinp business In the city. This means there Is paid in to the City Treasurer from the licenses some thing like $S4S.00 annually. If the plan proposed by Mayor Lane were to go into effect, thta sum would be reduced to 1172.800. It would also mean, it is said, increased taxation of the property-owners and would render the work of the ways and means committeedifflcult. Al ready the estimates for the ensuing year have been made out and the money de rived from the Uquor licenses and other city revenues has been allotted to the various departments. Here Is what the members of the liquor license committee have to say about the "Lane scheme": . "AnotJier TYk1 Idea." Councilman A. N. Wills All Mayor Lane's talk about closing half of the sa loons Is only another of his fool Ideas. It Is in keeping with his attempt to clean up the North . End. The only thln he succeeded In doing was to drive trie wom en all over town. I believe in putting every saloon that violates the law out of business, but to close up half of them isn't practical, and Lane oupht to know It. if he knows anything. His Idea by doing this to' force these men to go to church Is absurd and silly. People won't go to church unless they want to. These fellows who hanc around the North Ehd, for the most part, have homes to go to, or they have their rooms. One thing is sure, theywon't go to reading-rooms, and In this country, where there Is plenty of work,' they need not be idle. I have had some eiperien.ee In free reading-rooms right here in - Sell wood. I was president of the reading-room, and we spent thousands of dollars. I discov ered that men and boys old enough to go to saloons went there in preference to the reading-room. Those who were the most constant visitors were boys all the way from 10 to 14 years old. "Cripple City's Finances." Councilman A. O. Rushlight I haven't paid much attention to what Mayor Lane has had to say about closing half of the saloons. In the first place, the money that goes to maintain the Police Depart ment is raised by general taxation, and under tho charter It cannot be spent for any other purpose. Then again, it would seriously" cripple the city's finances for the ways and means committee has al ready made the estimates for the coming year, and the committee has figured on the money to be derived from the liquor licenses. To reduce half of the police force would not be a drop In the bucket to aid the city's finances. Another thing that pilules me is where the Mayor would start his pruning of the saloons. How would he set out to say what sa loon could stay in business and which would be driven out of business. I have tried several times to revoke the license of a saloonkeeper that had violated the laws, but I have never been successful, and I don't think the Mayor could do so. T am not In favor of saloons at all. but as long as they pay their licenses and obey the law they should receive the same protection as any other legitimate busi ness. No, the Mayor's scheme won't work out. "Plan Is Not Feasible." Councilman W. T. Vaughn Mayor J Lane's plan of shutting out hnlf of the saloons Is not feasible. It might reduce the police work as the Mayor suggests, but It would not put out of business the dive, neither would It send the barroom loafer to the free reading-rooms. There are free reading-rooms now to which the unemployed can go. If Mayor Lane wants to cut down tho number of saloons and at the same time retain the revenue, I have a plan to suggest. There would be nothing gained by redtrlng half the pres ent number and still cling to the present system of controlling- them. To my mind the saloon question could be solved by reducing the number, say. to loo. and place the control of them under one head. Pot these 100 saloons, the city could collect the same amount of revenue It does now with Its 432 saloons. My idea is to give a monopoly of the salrton busi ness over to one man. or place the mat ter under one head, and then the city could hold this man responsible. Licenses cntjd he turned over to this man, or the monopoly, as It might be called, and the city could fix the districts in which sa loons could be placed. This would put an end to the dive, for a violation of the law In any one of the salons would mean a cancellation of all the licences. My scheme, of course, would be unpopular, but nevertheless I think It would work out well. Calls Idea Too Radical. - Councilman Dr. W. I. Cottel Mayor Lane's Idea is altogether too radical and I am of the opinion he will think better of his statement when he takes time to reflect. He must have been talking to reporters. To close half of the saloons would greatly reduce the city revenues. I believe there are something like 432 saloons paying a. license "to tiie city at the present time amounting to J3M.&0. To reduce this revenue by one-half would of necessity Increase taxation. Portland, Me.. Is prohibition and I understand there are 33 saloons running there that do not pay a cent to the city revenues. Then, too. you must remember Portland, Or., Is not Portland. .Me., nor Is It Boston and If we must have saloons at all, the city best get all the revenue out of them possible. The idea of having the churches fur nish free reading-rooms and free eotfee; would please the Idle, but I feel sure.. It would not prevent them hanging around the saloons that are allowed to remain. 7f they are going to close has of the sen 10 saloons, that is, if the people want such a radical movement, it Is best in my judgment, to close them all. Councilman Wills Is doing his "Carrie Nation" Act Just now. He's out with his hatchet and we'll wait and see how far this new reformer will go. The Mayor refused yesterday to add anything further to his remarks about closing half of the saloons. When asked if he had read what the ministers had to say about his proposed scheme, be said: "I have read what was in The Oregonlan. I have nothing- more to add." THE WILD-DUCK SCARCITY Veteran Hunter in Alaska Gives His Views on the Subject. ABHXAND, Or.. Feb. 12l (To tha Edi tor.) Having read with inuch Interest In The Orearonlan the communication relat ing to tho theories advanced for tho protec tion and propapatlon of ducks, I wish to correct a sTBtement made by a "Sportsman" January 2. his communication be ins headed. "Iteason for scarcity of wild ducks" in which the Kreater, if not the entiro blame. Is placed on the Esquimau of Alaska. I will be lenient enough to think that ft is through utter ignorance of tha "sports man" on the subject of which he wrote, that caused the statements to be made; and not that, after ten years of killing ducks, he wilfully m if represented the facts, and now attempts to shift the real cause of the de crease of ducks In OrpRon from the whe "sportsman" of Oregon, to the lazy, dis eased natives of Alaska, who are decreas- PRINCIPALS IN WEDDING OF PAST WEEK.

Nine years ago, a fire spread over the breeding ground and destroyed nearly the entire season's eggs, but since that time the natives have been the Lest game wardens we have in the North, keeping down ftres. and reporting any white traveler who slaughters more game than he can use. The Esquimau eats but few esps. his diet being fish and seal, the latfwr being- so much easier to acQuire than the eggs which necessitate labor in walking over the rough Under. Ha believes in taking what costs the least labor. Deli cacies have no place in the kitchen of the Esquimau. In the early days of the coun try, the Esquimau did gather some eggs and exchange them for flour, sugar, etc., at the river stores and from white men at Ft. Michael. But those were the days when the principal diet of tne wnnos cohsislcu of beans and pork, with a yellow pay streak In the middle of It. and a man could not justly be blamed for a change of diet two nr ihrnA times -n.

But DOW thanks to the companies, they have everything they desire, and "hen fruit" fresh from Petaluma can be purchased any time for fVO cents per dozen and duck eggs would not be taken at any price if they were on the market, which they are not. And now for the beautiful Dips-a ream of the -sportsman." "The natives gather ftO0 to 8000 egffs per day and find an in exhaustible demand for the photograph companies who use them In making gelatin for their plates and films." I am perfect ly nfe in savin? that there never has been 2000 eggs shipped out of that country for su"h purpose or any oiner. -fi!nr read in a- Dr. Cllne's communication I have corresponded with agents of the steamship companies at St. Michael, and I am not Alone in the knowledge that in the last ten years there has not been a single shipment from' there of any number of egtrs for any purpose. Possibly some traveling kodak fiend has got an egg, blown out the inside, and taken home the shell as a momento of his Northern trip. We have a game law In Alaska. The onen settson for ducks In Alaska Is from September 1 to March 1. That looks rea sonable on paper, does it not ? But Mr. Sportrman, when you are there, in a coun try where any meat, other than cold stor age, la a luxury, and game of any kind Is only killed for necessary consumption. and not by "yportsmen" who live at res taurants arM kill their .V) birds per week, for five months .md then clamor for mrfre) and see all the ducks leaving the country by FPptember IS, not returning . until May, allowing you only 15 days' hooting in each vear then would you stllf ask for a pre serve there and an extentlon of time in Ore gon 7 I have lived In Alaska for 20 years and have en loved some very fine duck-shoot ing, but have never known of an Alaskan sportsman kiUlng In any. one year, even before e had a game law, as many birrts as an average Oregon "sportsman would kill in one month. We enjoy shooting up there, not the killing of 2 ducks per month for five or more months, but just what we use on our tables, a condition which I think would satisfy any real sportsman. C. B. Stokes Is certainly correct In his theory: "If you want to protect the game, reduce the bag and also the open season and enforce the law." All we ask is fairness. Tf the blame lies In Oregon, keep it there, pon't try to shift it on to some old blind Esquimau woman in Alaska. Find the cause and remedy it, and protect the birds. .T. C. TOLMAN.
