HANDSAKER TALKS
"OREGON DRY 1910"
J. J. Handsaker, of Portland, gave
two excellent addresses at the Method
ist church last Sunday morning and
evening. Among other things he said:
According to comparative statistics
compiled through many years' exper
i ience teaches us that one boy out f
! every ten and one girl out of every
eight homes are required to' feed tSe
saloon. The growth of the prohibition
idea throughout the United States and
the world can be traced to certain
causes.
I The spirit of lawlessness is always
! present where the saloon is found. The
: saloon is our most fragrant violator of
law. He then gave a synopsis of eco
I nomic conditions as found in a large
number of Oregon towns. People , un
der normal conditions have about so
much money to spend. Every dollar
put into the taloon takes so much
money out of the channel of legitimate
trade. The grocer, the clothing man,
the dry goods store have just so much
less business.
Statistics were given to show this
principle in towns of the West where
local option had been tried with officials
who were not afraid of their duty. One
county In' particular Mr. Handsaker
brought to our notice Lane, in which
is situated the city of Eugene. The
conditions there are such that an at
tempt at resubmission failed 5 to 1
He paid his respect of the Capital
Journal, Salem, which gave out report
that 177 of Eugene's leading business
men had signed a remonstrance aganst
the present local option law. Only 3
of the 177 have any prominence in bus
iness circles of Eugene. A number of
the 177 are men who have paid fines or
been imprisoned for illegal selling of
liquor.
He answered the salient thrust of the
liquor interests, "It hurts business" in
a masterly way. Tampa, Florida, and
Portland, Maine, are cities each hav
ing 60,000 population, Tampa has 60
open saloons with less than $6,000,000
in saving deposits; Portland with six
months of winter and surrounded with
the proverbial New England soil, with
no saloons has in excess of 147,000,000
in savings deposits. Mr. Handsaker
handled the subject "Oregon Dry 1910"
in such a convincing manner that an
offering of $37.15 was made toward the
prosecution of the work.

erty in said proposed county to main
tain a county government,
Therefore, Beit Resolved; that we
deplore the action of the residents of
Drewsey, Oregon, in seeking to initi
ate a bill for the establishment of Otis
county, and request the electors of the
state to vote against said measure.'.
During the talfest of the evening ar
guments showed that 95 per cent of
the taxpayers of the proposed Otis
county were opposed to the creation of
Otis for the following reasons:
That the county will have to assume
part of the indebtedness of the counties
from whose territory it is taken; that
a court house and jail will have to be
erected and salaries paid a number of
officers; that a year will elapse before
a tax can be levied and collected; that
the county will be in debt at least
$100,000 within the first year.
That every bill will have to be paid
for in warrants; that with no prospects
of such warrants being paid for in 15
or twenty years, they will start off at
a discount of 30 or 40 per cent in other
words the new county will have to pay
a premium of 30 or 40 per cent on ev
erything purchased; that those having
only personal proyerty will move out
of the new county to escape the heavy
taxation.
That Otis county is wanted only by a
few property owners in the over-ambitious
hamlet of Drewsey; that Drewsey
is 18 miles from the proposed line of
railroad, and that when such road is
constucted the county seat would then
be removed to some point on the trans
Oregon road; that the money spent in
erection of county buildings will be a
total loss; that the taxation necessary
to support a county organization would
be a great burden; and that there can
be but little future development be
cause practically all the land suscept
ible of cultivation is now in private
ownership.
