We reprint herewith from a com

The Journal has a letter from the
"L'qual Rights to Oregon Indus
try" Committee, which self-styled
committee has for its purpose the
establishment of the liquor business
in Oregon once more.
This communication carefully
hints that some advertising space

While there may be some things
about the law that was so hastily
passed that are objectionable, the

and capable, with

a record for
chain of about the same kind of
letters, some offering to buy space,
others attempting to overwhelm
rates and other information.
The newspapers of the state have
had their mails flooded with liter-
with a long list of names of people j ature from this source for the past
of more or less prominence, but ; several weeks and practically with
always enclosing literature to con-'out exception these communications
vince anyone that the saloon is1 have gone where they belonged, in
right, prohibition all wrong, and
that the breweries and their nu
merous agencies should reopen.
All of these things of course this
committee has a perfect right to
do, although it does not get them
the wastebasket.
A time was when the paDers
eagerly contracted all the space
they could with the liquor interests
but today besides being a law
agianst liquor advertising, most of
the papers would refuse it on gen-
jcral principles.
J The matter in the interests of a
campaign ol this nature is consid
ered by the press to be at least in
'sympathy with that business and
it will receive practically no con
sideration.
As a result, the offer of eaiy
money will be ignored by every
really legitimate paper in the state.
