A THOUSAND-DOLLAR LICENSE.
Experience has shown tint the best way to satisfactorily
handle the liquor problem is by high license and strict
regulation. It is the sensible method, and has stood the test
!of trial. ,
The. license in Medford should be placed at $1000 a
;year, the number restricted, and strict regulations pro;
year, the number of saloons restricted, and strict regula
, tions provided.
' High license might decrease the number of saloons, but
if would raise the standard of the business and increase
the eitv's revenue.
WHO "BRUNG" HIM OUTt
When The Tribune stated that the Mail had "brought
( out" Mr. Perry as its candidate for mayor, it lid so under
the impression that its authority, the Mail, was telling the
truth. If the Mail uttered a falsehood in its bonibastir
.announcement, then it should apologize to its readers. It's
a fcad yay to begin the NVw Year.
On January 2, the Mail published the following:,
"The Morning Mail has had to do wi'h ulnnng in nom
i nation for mayor Mr. .1. A. Perry, avil for couiicilvtt ,i
Messrs. C H. Corey, W. N. Campbell and F. II'. Ilollis."
Further, the publisher of the Mail was the first to cir-c-'ilate
the Perry petition.
The Mail makes another misstatement when it states
that the editor of The Tribune "brought out" Judge
Canon, who was placed in nomination against his will by
a number of business men and taxpayers, and the petition
.on file in the city recorder's office, published elsewhere,
with 200 signatures, shows who they were. lie was not
brought out by the editor of The Tribune. At the meet
ing of business men, when; Mr. Canon was first named,
the editor went on record as favoring Judge W. M. Colvig
for mayor. He signed Mr. Canon's petition, knowing h
excellent qualifications for the position.

plans of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance union of Delaware are success
ful, the giant 20,000 Un battleship pel
aware, which will be launched at New
port News a month frjs) today, will be
christened with water...
The battleship Kentucky, the only
vessel of her class ever christened with
water, was hit by hundreds of bottles
of whisky, which were broken against
her hull hyb Kentuckians when she was
sent down the ways.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 5. In
anticipation of a bumper crop and fl
renewed era of prosperity, nearly 500
(Minnesota implement dealers assembled
in convention here today to make plans
for handling an unprecedented business
in the implement lino.
Eugene is hold up as Urn shining example of tho effects
of prohibition. T?ut the records of each io-m of court
show a large number of arrests for liquor selling. TI.e
circuit court, expenses have been doubled. Hut taxation
is low. .. That is true; but what is the amount of taxable
property in Eugene? That determines the tax levy. Eu
gene is the county scat of one of the largest counties in
the state. It has surrounding it 300,000 acre of farming
land, and more standing timber than any county in the
United States, and the largest lumber b Mincss outside of
any county in the state except Multnomah. Its growth
is due to its natural resources, its lauds and timber, and
the fact that it is the seat of tho state university . Did pro
hibition produce any of these resources?
Eugene has had prohibition for some years, but the
multitude of arrests and indictments shows that the "blind
pig" still flourishes, and there are in the city today a doz
en or more of places where liquor is sold illicitly. The
number of internal revenue licenses lias inei eased. The
only effect of prohibition in that city has been to drive
the business into the hands of the keepers of the "blind
pig" and the vendor of "ginger ale."
The same is true of (S rants Pass, Klamath Falls and
Roseburg. At Corvallis, that we have heard much of, it
is brought up in the boats plying on the river, where they
are fastened to a hook and line cast from the shore.
Local option does not prohibit in Kugene or in any
county. It simply votes the business out of the licensed
saloonkeeper into the hands of the illicit vendor; out of
one town into another; out of one county into another,
It makes business for the express company and the man
who is willing to follow crime for the profit there is in it.
That prohibition does not stop the liquor traffic can
be found in the court records of those counties that have!
voted prohibition. In Lane, Linn, Douglas, Klamath and ,
Josephine counties, each term of court shows by its multi
tude of indictments for illegal liquor selling that it con
tinues. The evnenses of the count v are increased bv the
numerous criminal trials. .Juries are held for weeks.!
Crowds of witnesses are brought before the irind jury and j
the circuit court. Cheap detectives are imported, who
use any means to cause arrests, and it is seldom that a con
viction is obtained, in spite of overwhelming evidence.
