The House Furnishing Company 177 Liberty Street A BREWERS OPINION OF THE LAW Local Option Can at Any Time Tic Up the Brewing Business Mr. Chairman, member of this con vention, and ladies a&d gentlemen: I have had Ike pleasure of attending several of the meetings of the devel opment league that have been held during the past six month ami have boon greatly Interested in the work done and the matter discussed at theeo meeting. Kspeclally have I bean Interoeted la the recommouda tloii for legislation along the linee Uint tended toward the building up of the Kium Interest ami Industrie At the nam lime I could not help but realse that while the development league wm earnestly seeking to en courage nw enterprises and other wise do alt that It could In fostering a broad and progressive aplrit. It practically overlooked legislation that wne already upon our statute books, and whleh was today doing probably much toward tearing down and die eouragJng already established Indue trlee and the further Inveetmenl of capital along those lines, I refer, namely, to the brewing bus iness, In which 1 have the honor of being engaged, and the kindred bust noeees that are directly and Indlreo ly connected with Uie name. The brewing business haa always In the paat been looked upon ns ah eminent ly legitimate industry In this country &nd Wurope. Wktm our pilgrim fore fathers landed on tho shores of UiU country thoy brought wltli thorn their boor, and even during the early his- tory of the colonies and hw oountry Round It seemed to me that this val somo of the New Unhand states ley. were It located In western Wash passed special legislation exempting Initten ear Seattle, It certainly would broworlw from taxaUon, In order that have had over a million Inhabltanta. thereby they might encourage the Hardly bad we built our enterprise building of khem In thU oountry. and Inverted about tM),W In the Yet In this mate there U at the J venture than the Jowl option law was present lime a law In exigence, vlx passed. That law places the menu tho IooaI option law, that gives to a small numhe of people In any pre cinct A$er a brewery is located, the power ko put it out of business at any election, and. to All Intents and pur ' poses, thereby confiscate' the property J used for that purpose. What Irony la covered by the statements, so often made, that Oregon wken great prlJe In being the greatest hop producing community In the Unitod States, when one realises that Oregon Is doing Its very utmost to absolutely kill the brewing business. However, that Is the present condition of affairs. I Not another dollar will be Invested In the brewing business, the malting business, cooperage, and many other enterprises: closely a'lted to the first named, as long as the local option law temalns upon our statute books In Its ' present form. The Mate of Washing, tost has been mora fortunate In It legislation. It baa no such drastic measure upon Its statute books. The consequence Is that H hae far out stripped this state, not only In the browing business, but In many other lines. When I first came to Washing ton In territorial days, wa always look. ed upon Oregon as a kind of foster father. It bad been a ate for many years, and wo wore yet in our infan 03 How different it Is today. Even in the browing business the change Get Yout Money's Woth 7 lbs.

Today we find that the Increase In brewing in the state of Washington for the past year, and a half in greater than Oregon's entire output. Washington during the Inst few yeatw has built many malt houses, glass faclotles for the making of beor bottles, cooperage nnd box factories cold storage and warehouses, aside from greatly enlarging the brewing business Itself. Of course this does not Includ the vnot benefits derived by the supply house and other busi nesses that deal with the brewing trade. K Is bow a little over two years since our people concluded to build up a beelneea in thin state. When I first vMted Oregon I saw the state through the portal of the Willamette volley. To a man living In tho west era part of Washington, this valley looked like paradise. Ms opportuni ties for a great and prosperous fu ture appeared certain. 1 could not help but note that there wns almost twice an much open, fertile agricul tural land In the Willamette valley than there Is In the whole of western Washington. 1 was surprised to seo what little real progress had been mndw when I considered that for nonr ly W yewrw Oregon had been a statu ISuthused wltli Die spirit that Is uat ural to one who has lived on Ptiget faoturer In the same category with the saloon. It makes no dletlncilon. At any election the voters of the Fourth ward, Salem, cuu vote that precinct "dry" if a majority of one so declares. It absolutely nut us out of business, for the law declares we cannot B any of our product If the precise, goes ray. Notwithstanding the fact that we do little. If any, bus iness In that preit. and that oui trade Is mostly o the outside, throughout this state and California we are prevented from doing any business, and our property Is for all Intents and purposes worthless. This sword of Damocles. In tho shape of the oca' opUoa provision, hangs over us continually. Do you wonder thai we cannot a(Tod a renolble business men to Invest another dollar in the enterprise. Do you wonder that outside capital will refuee to Invest tn Oregon? If is rather hard to restrain oneself and not enter 'nto thg dlMieseieu of the subject of prohibition. I do not I Intend to do so at this meeting, for it f u cria to engender a useless dis cussion. I address myself to you. as members of the Willamette Develop ment league, as farmers and propert) owners and tax payer. I place the matter before you In Just the eondl tlon it is. and ask you to think the matter over seriously. An an Instance to IMuetrate what effect this law ban already had. Out people wish to build- at SaJem a iargor maWBg establishment, not alone foi supplying our plant at Salem, but also the ones at Olympla and BeKlng Lam. Washington. It was also de sired to build large enough to engage actively la the business of selling malt to other breweries. This enterprise means the investment of several hun dred thousand dollars and would an nually use several hundred thousand bushels of barley, which could bs raised In the Willamette valley. lot WA believe that the soil of this valley will produce the very beet of brewers' hariftv. As lone as tfce present, con dition of affaire exist regarding the local option law, this enterprise will be lost to Oregon, and if no change Is aeeompiUh"! t June the enterprise will go to the state of Washington. Here is Oregon, the greatest hop producing state in the union.
