O
The Committee of One Hundred
says:
"If you want to find out what
dry Oregon will do for Oregon, go
to Roseburg and see what dry
Koseburg has accomplished."
Here's what it has done.
It has cut down the bank deposits
by over , $500,000, in spite of the
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 and im
migration. When Roseburg had licensed sa
loons the tax levy, on one-third of
the valuation was two mills. Since
Roseburg has gone dry the tax levy
has varied from eight to ten mills
on a full valuation; and in addition
occupation taxes have been steadily
increased.
The Committee of One Hundred
boasts that dry Roseburg has erected
a $115,000 hotel. The hotel was
erected in 1913, stood idle and ten
antless for four months, and was
rescued from the bankruptcy court
by liberal business men of the city,
among whom were E. L. Parrot, C.
W. Parks, Joseph Micelli, A. N. Or
cott and Henry Hart, all of whom
are radically opposed to a dry town.
The Committee of One Hundred
also boasts of the armory as an
achievement. The armory was built
by state, county and city funds com
bined, and is not yet completed.
Over 140 leading business men
have signed a petition calling for a
local option election in Roseburg this
year, and such an election will be
held.
Many empty store buildings are to
be found on the leading business
streets a condition that never ex
isted when Roseburg had licensed
saloons. Scores of dwelling houses
are 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 valuation.
Another property owner has of
fered four parcels of inside prop
erty for fnlc at less than the as
sessed aluation, and has not even
received a tender.
One of the leaders of the dry
forces in Roseburg is a man who as
a former agent of the Albany brew
ery made his fortune, and who to
day is the owner of a drug store.
He was 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 move
ment. 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 fays:
"If you want to find out what Ore

Hood River is one of the "dry"
towns that the Committee of One
Hundred hasn't said anything about.
But "business is fine" there too, es
pecially 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, as
set forth in their formal report to
the Circuit Court on October 6, IPH:
"Nearly all of the time of thi.
grand jufy has been taken up with
consideration of alleged violations of
the local option law within thN juris
diction. We have received tin report
of the sheriff of the county as to the
quantity of intoxicating liquor shipped
into this county during the last three
months. By this report it appears
that a large amount of liquor has
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 the
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 in
this connection we call the attention
of physicians of Hood River County
to Section 4921 of Lord's Oregon
Laws.
"We recommend that the physi
cians confine themselves more close
ly to the letter of this section of the
local option law."
The report is signed by Jsseph
Frazier, Jr., as foreman.

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 "prohibition" amendment.
That "ANY CITIZEN" may ship liquor "direct from some other state"
into "HIS OWN HOME."

And they sny "business is fine" there.

shipped into dry Eugeuo from outside

This is enough liquor to stock eao
