In November, 1914, after one of the
hottest campaigns ever waged in this
state, the people of Oregon cast a 80,

bition amendment to the, rnnstihitinn
! as follows:
I "From and after January 1st,
I 1910, no intoxicating liquors shall be
; manufactured, or sold within this
state, except for medicinal purposes
I upon prescription of a licensed phy-
sician, or tor scientific, sacramental
or mechanical purposes."

Morning Worship, 11:00. Subject,
in the state, provision and regulation
was made for its importation.
This law, known as the Anderson
law, has worked with excellent suc
cess and is acknowledged one of the
best prohibition laws in the United
States. Whilo some minor defects
have been uncovered those' can easi
ly be corrected. Much less trouble
in the enforcement of the Oregon
law has been encountered than in,
the state for liquors is now leaving
Oregon and thousands 01 dollars be
fore spent for "boozo" are being di
rected into more productive channels.
If the present campaign were merely
whether the present law should be
retained or return to former condi
tions, there is no question that the
previous large majority for the pres
ent law would be more than doubled.
However, there seemed to be a dis
crimination against the home brewer
ami the logical question was asked,
"why send money for beer out of the
state, even if it is much less than
was formerly, when we have the in
stitutions and supplies at home for
making it?" So the Brewers' Asso
ciation, under this plausible anneal
circulated sufficient petitions to have
the following amendment, commonly
Known as tne .Brewers' Bill, placed on
the ballot for the November election
of this year. This measure is not
substitute for the Anderson law; but
for the constitutional amendment
adopted in 1914. The measure will
appear on the ballot under the head
ing "Permitting Manufacture and
Regulated Sale 4 Per Cent Malt Liq-uorsv"
"From and after January 1, 1916,
no intoxicatinir liquors shall be manu
factured or sold within this state, ex
cept ior medicinal purposes, upon pre
scription of a licensed physician, 01
for scientific, sacramental or median-
ical purposes: nrovided however, that
it shall be lawful to manufacture
within the state, fermented malt
liquors containing four per cent or
less 01 alcohol manufactured ex
clusively for shipment outside of this
state; and, provided further, that it
shall be lawful to manufacture and
sell and deliver in this state by the
manufacturer to any person or in
dividual, in original packages only,
sucn lermented malt liquor, contain
ing four per cent or less of alcohol,
in such quantity or under such regu
lations ns may be prescribed by law.
Until otherwise prescribed by the leg
islature this right of sale nnd deliv
ery shall be limited to the same quan
tity as persons are now permitted to
import into the state under existing
laws, and such persons may net with
in any one period fixed by law both
import and purchase locally."
But the "Drys" smellcd a nigger in
the wood pile, or rather a "comma" in
the amendment. The official argu
ment for this bill rends in part as fol
lows: . "Believing the present prohibition
law is unfair in its discrimination
against the Oregon farmer, hop rais
ers and brewers, and being convinced
that the Oregon voters, both male and
female, believe in fair play and in
the promotion and protection of home
industry, the amendment to permit
manufacture of beer in this state un
der present laws, is presented to the
public."
IHowever, the Anti-Saloon league
111 a formal statement says that in
stead of this bill merely permitting
the home manufacture of beer to be
sold under the samt conditions as at
present and as if shipped into the
state many "jokers" are hidden in it.
They point out the following:
ihe insertion of a comma after the
words 'for medicinal purposes' and
before the words 'upon prescription
of a licensed physichn,' makes it pos
sible for druggists to sell for medi
cinal purposes without prescription,
and for physicions to prescribe it for
other than medicinal purposes.
It is a rule of law that a person
does a thing himself when he does it
through an agent. Ihe old saloons
would open with the proprietors brew
ers' 'agents' in name, as they were
before in fact.
"The license law has ben wiped
out, as have all regulatory measures,
so they would pay no license, might
soil to children, intoxicated persons,
habitual drunkards, at all hours on all
dr.ys. Not only saloons, but pool halls,
cigar stores, barber shops, livery
stables, garages, candy and confec
tionery stores, soda fountains, drug
stores, fruit stands, groceries and
janitors of apartment houses would
become 'agents', as also the scarlet
women who, for the most part, left us
along with the beer, thoir chief pro
curer and drawer of trade, while
brewery ivugon drivers would work
th.i home trade.
"Since the local option .law is re
pealed, these 'ugents' could go into
places formerly dry under the locul
option luw, and outsido of the incor
porated places where before they wero !
iiunied by statute now repealed and
to be superseded by this piopoacd new
constitutional measure.
'They must sell in the "original
package," (a five-cent bottle corked
and sealed at the brewery is nn-"orig-inol
package") and the customer '.-oiild
drinii from it or pour it out for him
self. "Whore railways (of whose business
it is less than one per cent) now con
trol, brewers' agents would then con
trol, and regulation . would become
stimulation of deliveries.
"That an increased allowance for
deliveries is contemplated is shown by
the words 'in such quantity or un
der such regulation as may be pre
scribed by law,' 'until otherwise pre
scribed by the legislature (not the
people),' 'delivery shall be limited to
the same quantity as persons are now
permitted to import into the state un
der existing laws.' If this is adopted,
they will move heaven and earth to
have the legislature raise the allow
ance or abolish it altogether."
Before the Brewers' Bill with its
many compilations appeared, it way.
generally believed that the prohibi
tion issue had been settled. The
temperanee forces ' were suddenly
faced with another and dangerous
campaign. However, as the brewers
had opened the fight, the "drys" de
cided to give the people en opportun
ity to decide whothor they wanted
absolute prohibition, so they countered
with the following proposed amend
ment to be added to the 1914 amend
ment. This measure will appear on
the ballot under the heading "Pro
hibition Amendment Forbidding Im
portation of Intoxicating Liquors for
Beverage Purposes," and reads as fol
lows: ''
"No intoxicating liquors shall be
imported into this State for beverage
purposes." This section to be added
to the present constitutional amend
ment. If passed this measure will
remove the discrimination i.gainst the
local brewers, although it will not in
any way benefit them. It will make
Oregon absolutely dry for liquors can
neither be made or shipped into the . 1
State for beverage purposes. I
Thus a three cornered situation has !
developed. If you favor the Brewers' J
amendment, vote "yes" for it and "no" j ,
for the dry amendment. If you favor I
the Absolute Prohibition measure, vote !!
"yes" for it and "no" for the Brew- 1
ers' bill. If you vote "yes" or "no" J
on one and do not vote on the other a
you in effect cast only half a vote.
If you favor the present amendment
and believe that the legislature will
be able to correct the faults in the L
Anderson law vote 'no" on both of
the ballot measures.
