A great deal is said and written
about xhe increase of wealth, tho
centralization of wealth and the pow
er of the Trust and the Corporation.;
A fact that is often overlooked, how-1
ever, is that the beer and whiskey
business is now very 'largely in the
hands of such corporations and ow
ing to close organization and the
great wealth controlled, these corpor
ations and trusts are as great a men
ace to the country as any other when
they are considered merely as or
dinary, selfish, moneyed institutic',."
Their character tnkes on a deeper
blackness, however, when it is bourne
in mind that they are in existence
for the purpose of increasing the use
of their products and thereby break
ing down individual men and the
community. No good enterprise or
Institution Is helped in any way by
the liquor business but it is natural
ly and Inherently the enemy of every
thing that tends toward progress and
the betterment of humanity. The
business is so bad that even those
engaged in It resort to nil' sorts of
disguises and subterfuges in order to
advance their interests. At the pres
ent time in the state of Oregon the
liquor business Is masquerading un
der the guise of the "Hotel Keep
er's Association" and the so-called
"Home Rule Association" and alleged
"Personal Liberty Leagues" which
are advocating measures which will
promote the interests of the business
and yet no distiller, brewer, whole
sale liquor denier or saloon-keeper
will come out openly before the pub
lice, it appears, and champion his
cause. At any rate, we read noth
ing whatever In the Oregon press In
favor of the liquor business, we do
not read a great deal of boosting
of nit sorts of fradulent devices and
humbugs that are gotten up to mnsk
the business and deceive the voter.
The "Greater Oregon Home Rule
Association" gives great prominence
to t lie stntemont, that brewers, dis
tillers and saloon-keepers connnt be
members of its organization. They
do not anywhere say that such poe
ple will not be permitted to con
tribute the sinews of war. One does
not need to be a prophet or the sou
of a prophet to know that the six
thousand dollars a yenr paid by this
Institution to Uro. McAllister, and the
other thousands upon thousands of
dollars that are being expended In
various forms of advertising, comes
from the coffers of the liquor traffic
and from nowhere else. No one be
lieves Seriously that the eminent
business men of the. city of Portland
who are allowing their names to be
handled about for the beneft of the
liquor traffic In Oregon under the
name of the "Greater Oregon Home
Rule Association" expect to pay the
fiddler. They will do very well for
staking horses. But it must he rath
er hard for these self-sacrificing
booze vendors to rend in print re
peatedly that they nre not worthy to
become members of this high-minded
organization.
The state at large pays the bill for
keepinfl up the circuit and supreme
courts, the district attorneys of
fices, the penitentiary, the insane ns
ylum, but the "Greater Oregon Home
Rule Association" proposes that the
exclusive right to make business for
these courts and district attorneys,
and to make inmates for these insti
tutions, shall be vested solely, and ex
clusively In the incorporated towns
of the state. The liquor dealer Is
now meekly skulking In the back
ground without being regarded as
worthy to be a member oC the "Great
er Oregon Home Rule Association"
but he hopes that his day Is coming.
He Hits at the second table and pays
the bills now. When the constitution
of the state Bhnll have been amended
so as to give incorporated towns the
exclusive right to deal with the liquor
question, the liquor dealer knows
mat it will be the turn of the farm
er and the taxpayer In the unincor
porated town to sit at the second
table and pay the bills.
Those who havP lived in Oregon
for many years know that the growth
of civic pride has been very slow, and
progressive movements that have In-

volve(d moral Issues have been fought
every step of the way. There is
scarcely a town in Oregon where au
Issue has been drawn between law
and order and morality and decency
on one side and lawlessness and dis
order, and booze and gambling and
prostitution on the other, but what
the decent citizen has had to see his
ballot time and again offset by the
ballot of the "old soak", the "tin
horn gambler" or the hobo or the
transient voter imported Into the
town for the purpose. And the ex
pense of the importation has gener
ally been met by the saloon-keepers
or those closely Identified with their
business. It was not until the advent
of tho local option law that the pow
er of the people of the country, Join
ed with the better elements of the
towns, to get and keep the upper
hand of the other elements, was real
ized Vow that It has been demon
strated that the people have this
great power, we are In Oregon In the
presence of a desperate movement
to overcome and destroy the local
option law by a proposed amendment
to tho state constitution which will
give to every incorporated town the
exclusive right to deal with the li
quor business as It sees fit. If this
amendment should be adopted the
good people of the towns will find
themselves nt the mercy of a traf
fic which has violated every law ever
put on the statute books for Its reg
ulation and which attracts to Itself
every form of vice and evil known to
men. Rosy pictures are painted of
what will be done under the license
law when sa toons nre to be "regu
lated". Rut there is not a mnn or
woman of mature years In Oregon
who does not know that when we had
the license law everywhere and tho
law imposed a severe penalty upon
the liquor denier who would sell to
minors or to hnbftual drunkards, or
keep his place of business open on
Sunday, or permit gambling, or nl
low women to frequent his place, he
violated every one of these provisions
and impudently gave his time and bis
money to defeat any officer who un
dertook to en force tho taw. The his
tory of our towns In Oregon shows
that, under the license system the
saloon keeper has fought as dosper-
ntely to prevent the enforcement of
the ' reasonable regulations of the li
cense -law aB he is now fighting to
undermine the law which is putting
him out of business.
ft
The wail of the liquor men that
"prohibition does not prohibit" Is
nothing more or less than tho threat
that they will not obey the law. Xo
one need be surprised at this. They
never have obeyed the law and nev
er seriously Intend to obey the law.
It Is up to the people to see that they
are compelled to do what, they will
never do of their own free will. It
Is true there are many "blind pigs"
and that there Is much liquor sotd
contrary to law, but this has al
ways been the case. It tins openly
been charged and not denied that
white there nre flvo htimlreri snlnnna
in the city of Portlnnd, there are!
also four hundred "blind pigs", and!
any man who doubts that liquor is
sold contrary to law In the city of;
Portland has only to read carefully i
the Portland pnperH. Just the other
day, Mayor Simon called the Chief of
Police on the "carpet" and admon
ished him that he would have to
better the enforcement of the law
and that the illegal selling of liquor
must stop. A conspicuous case of
prosecution for selling liquor without
a license In the city of Portland war
that of the "Quelle", a prominent
and fashionable resort holding itseli
out ns a place where food and drink
are" furnished, but as has been de
veloped by the prosecution in ques
tion, a place where a great deal more
drink than food has been dispensed.
One saloon row in Grant county
cost the taxpayers lu that county
$7,600, and tho fa r m e rs have to
pay their share of the expense that
never would have occurred had
there been no saloons. Yet the
"Greater Oregon Homo Rule Asso
ciation" wants to prohibit the farmer
from having nny vote ns to whether
there shall be saloons in his home
county or not.
