TO AMEND
LOCAL OPTION LAW
An initiative petition has been prepared
by attorneys acting for the Brewers' and
Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association of
Portland, providing for submission to the
voters of the state at the general election
in June of next year an amendment to the
present local option law, and the circula
tion of the petition for signatures began
today.
The present local option law, which
was placed on the statue book by the
Legislature of 1904. is in the belief of the
Brewers' and wholesale Liquor Dealers'
Association an unfair measure, both to
people and to the liquor trade of the state.
The taw provides that a petition signed
by 1 0 per cent of the voters of any coun
ty or precinct can call an election to de
termine whether the sale of liquors shall
be prohibited there. ':
The liquor men hold that this is prac
tically a prohibition law, as the anti-sa
loon people would never have any trouble
in obtaining the necessary 10 per cent of
the voters to such petitions, for elections
every year if they desired. They declare
that no man can afford to open a whole
sale liquor house or brewery if there Is a
chance that he miy nave to put up a
fight at the polls every June.
The proposed law stipulates that 50
per cent of the qualified electors of any
'precinct in the state shall be necessary
for the calling of an election to determine
whether the sale of liquors shall be pro-
law also provides that at any time after
two years from the date of an election
held under the provisions of the statue,
but not before, another election may ba
petitioned for. These are the principal
provisions of the proposed law, and the
merely amend the statue as it now stands
AMUSEMENTS
A NEW PLAY COMINO
In "A Jolly American Tramp ." E. E-
Kidder's well known play, the man who
wrote "A Poor Relation" for Sol Smith
Russell, solves a problem that has vexed
the rural communities for years. In it
Mr. Kidder attempts to show that with
kindness, a just appreciation of man, even
if in rags, and the consequent respecting
of his rights will compel even the most
confirmed hobo to think he is on this
earth for a puprose. " In this play the
author promises a new and rather novel
motive, that of a rascally husband Insur
ing the life of his wife, then stupifying
her with drugs, hiding her in an attic of a
deserted (and supposed to be haunted)
house, substituting another body for hers
and collecting the insurance thereon.
Through the medium f an ordinary tramp
the wronged wife i'v liberated and rer
stored to rights that had' been wrested
from her, and the guilty punished. There
is said to be a happy blending of pathos
and wit in "A .'oily American Tramp."
The cast contains the names of such well
and favorably known players as Clark
Ross, who plays "Happy Jack," the tramp;
Berline Farns worth, the dainty little
soubrette star; Cora Lee Jefferson, the
well known comic opera proma donna,
late of the Castle Square company; Vir
ginia Melville, a clever character Irish
woman, and in fact every part is in the
hands of a competent person. 'The play
will be strong in musical and vaudeville
numbers. ' Steward's Opera House. Fri
day, Dec. I.

Grandy & Russell
THE
X. Croften, manager of the Brewers'
and Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Associa
tion, this morning made the following
statement relative to the measure pro-.
posed:
OUTLINE OF LAW WANTED
The new law gives both sides exactly
the same show. That is the principal
difference between it and the old law,
which was passed by a well-remembered
scheme of a few members of the AnU
Saloon League. The old law allowed the
Prohibitionists many privileges which it
denies to the liquor merchants.
"The amended local option law is a
straight precinct local option law. Any
precinct in the state can vote on the sub
ject at any general election. That seems
fair. The amended law, however, pro
hibits the grouping of several "dry" pre
cincts with . one 'wet' oni. thus forcing
prohibition on people who actu illy voted
against it. There was no local option or
choice in this, but the old Iniquitous law
allowed it
The amendment also raises the num
ber of votes necessary to call an election
from- 10 to SO per cent It seems
scarcely fair that a community should ba
saddled with the expense and turmoil of
an election and that the liquor merchants
should have to get out and fight for their
existence unless at least two-thirds of
the voters demand it"

a result of liver trouble and heart dis
ease, which had robbed me of sleep and
of all interest in life. I had tried many dif
ferent doctors and several medicines, but
got no benefit until I began to use Elec
