Taboo On Intoxicants With
in Three-Mile Limit On
Foreign Ships
HARDING IS FIRM
Injunction Threatened By Foreign
Ship Interests Lasker Sobs
Eloquently
Those who thought the administra
tion would do nothing about the sale
of liquor on American vessels on thl
high seas, are now ready to think
some more. The President has direct
ed that the transportation and sale of
intoxicating liquors On all ships flying
the American flag must cease immedi
ately, and has given instructions pro
hibiting vessels of other nations from
bringing liquor inside the three mile
limit.
The attorney-general has held that
the transportation of intoxicating
liquor iu the territorial waters of the
country is a violation of the clear in
tent of congress and the judgment of
the United States supreme court. And
since ships are "constructive territory"
for all legal purposes of the nation
whose flag they fly, sales of intoxicat
ing liquor on them outside of the three
mile limit is a strict" violation of the
law.
In the course of his instructions the
President directed Chairman Lasker
of the U, S. shipping board to notify
the masters of all vessels leased, own
ed or operated by the government, to
discontinue at once the service and
the transportation either as cargo, or
ship's stores, of intoxicating liquors.
The prohibition is to begin at on.ee on
American vessels in home ports and
on ships at sea or in foreign ports im
mediately after docking in home ports.
Notices will be issued to all Ameri
can ships under private operation by
Secretary of the Navy Mellon, who is
also directed to formulate regulations
for the enforcement of the law.
Information has it that a suit for
injunction will be filed very soon in
behalf of certain foreign shipping in
terests. Lasker, chairman of the U. S. ship
ping board, paints a sorry picture of
the effect of cutting off booze. And
one thing more is needed for common
decency and to encourage the spirit
of obedience to the prohibition law
a new shipping board chairman.

RECALL MOTIVES
ARE ENUMERATED
Editor Banner-Courier:
Last week I tried to fully meet the
accusations made in. the recall peti
tion, which unmistakedly bore on its
face, the earmark of one man, who,
no doubt, was employed as an attor
ney at so much per. I wish in this
article to mention a few things that
are talked about in the street, and
which are not understood. I may also
mention, the names and motive of
some of the known promoters of the
recall. After reading this article,
please have in mind, however, that all
the parties who are promoting this
movement will never be known, neith
or will all the selfish interests fe ex
posed. It is mostly an underground
matter.
,1 now take up and answer 'some of
the street talk made by people who
don't know the facts.
The Suspension Foot Bridge at Ore
gon City: In answer to some loose
remarks about the cost of this struc
ture, the record will show that the cost
of the bridge was $18,000 of which
amount West Linn paid $5,000, Oregon
City $4,500, the mills at Oregon City
$4,500, Clackamas County $4,000. This
was a rush job. The plan and bids
were passed upon and approved by
the city councils and engineers of
both cities', by the corporations and
their engineers, and by unanimous ac
tion of all the above parties the con
tract was let for the sum named.
. The Health Officer: No member of
the court had any thought of offending
Dr. O. A. Welsh when Dr. Hempstead
was elected to fill both positions
county health officer and county phy
sician at a salary of $1,800, includ
ing medicine. The cost of these two
offices was running over $3,200 annu
ally. The change effected a saving of
over $1,400 a year. The action of the
court was unanimous. Dr. Welsh had
the office for six years at a cost to
the taxpayers of $9,591.94. The law
says he can only hold this office four
years. He now refuses to give up the
office and the commissioners are will
ing that the matter shall drag along.
The first real friction began, in the
Doctor's case, when I asked him po
litely to itemize his bills so the court
could intelligently audit them. Take
the bill of Jan. 1, 1921:
Dr. O. A. Welsh, salary . $ 58.20
Postage 2.00
Phones 1.80
Trips: Boring, Milwaukie, 82d

Notice that the number of trips or
mileage is not given. When the item

was 25 cents -per mile since which

" Enforcement Mass
" Meeting -
W. J. Herwig of Portland will de
liver a law enforcement address at the
First Congregational church at Oregon
City, Sunday, October 15th, at 7:30
p. on. Perhaps no person is more cap
able to speak upon the subject than
Mr; Herwig. He is known throughout
the country as a fearless leader and
is not afraid to attack lawlessness
whenever found. It is expected that
his message will be "red-hot." Mr. Vier
wig insists that the people who believe
in law and order have a duty to per
form and must thoroughly back law
enforcement officers in. the enforce
ment of the law. Every citizen f
Oregon City should attend this meet
ing.
A three-reel motion picture ' "Safe
guarding the Nation," will be shown at
the close of the address. The picture
has a strong law enforcement appeal.
The highly educational value cannot
be over-estimated and no citizen can
see the picture without having his civic
conscience stirred.
As the appeal is for law enforce
ment and on account of limited seat
ing capcity, only adults will be ad
mitted.
Remember if is 7 : 30 o'clock sharp.
Come early and get a seat.
Candidate Pierce Is Tender

didate, and the members of the Oregon
press, by Jesse Winburn, at Albany,
Wednesday night, was well attended.
over 100 being present.
Following a fine banquet t the
Hotel Albany, Jesse Winmrrn spoke
briefly, after which several leading
Democrats of the state, among them,
Elton Watkins, J. K. Weatherford and
Samuel Garland, set. forth the merits
of Democracy and predicted a certain
victory at the coming election.
At the conclusion of these prelimi
naries, Walter M. Pierce addressed the
meeting. Mr. Pierce stressed "lower
ed taxation," as his campaign slogan,
and declared that the tax reduction is
sue is the only issue involved In the
present gubernatorial campaign.
He called attention to the present
enormous bonded Indebtedness, admin
istration expense and the high per
capita tax in .the state of Oregon, these
financial obligations greatly exceeding
those of other states, and declared that
because of the high tax rate Oregon
land will soon come to either the auc
tion block or to a communistic forim
of ownership.
As a remedy for this condition of
affairs, Mr. Pierce advocates the adop
tion of a graduated income tax, a tax
on the utilization of natural resources
by corporations, and other indirect
taxes, and also favors a reduction in
the number of state employees and the
establishment of industries at the vari
ous state institutions, which will make
them self-supporting.
. Mr. Pierce also promises to oppose
all unnecessary appropriations and to
oppose extravagance in the affairs of
state at all times.

Plant
Because no reply has been made to
the city by the Molalla Power Com
pany in regard to the offer made by
the council to purchase the old com
pany's local equipment for $7,500, the
council, at its meeting recently, au
thorized the employment of a compe
tent engineer to design a distribution
system far the municipal power and
light plant. fThe city will get its pow;
er from the Portland Railway, Light

es. Subsequently it offered to buy the
company's equipment and after some
dickering fixed $ 7,500 as the maximum
it would pay.

regarded here as assurance that the
city will secure a brand new plant.

FIRE PRE VENTION
WEEK IS OBSERVED
IN OREGON
This annual fire prevention week is
! being generally observed thruout Ore
gon. The losses from fires- whioh, in
most cases, couid have been prevent
ed by the exercise of ordinary care
and prevention methods are appalling.
In Oregon during the five years from
1915 to 1920, fires caused the tremend
ous 'loss of $10,395,286, a sum suffi
cient to build 2,079 five thousand dol
lar homes.
In order to reduce the number of
fires and fire losses to the minimum,
the governor has issued the following
proclamation .-
Therefore, I, Ben W. Olcott, Govern
or of the State of Oregon, by the au
thority in me vested, do designate and
proclaim the period from October Jth
to 14th, 1922, as Fire Prevention Week
and I earnestly request that the proper
city departments, co-operating- with
the chambers of commerce, and other
civie organizations, shall arrange in
teresting and educational exercises
that will impress the .importance of
the occasion upo.n the public mind. I
hope that every resident of the state
will actively take part in the observ
ance and that they will remove rub
bish and litter and other hazards about
their homes and places of business;
that they will inaugurate the personal
habit of carefulness. I ask that our
churches by means of sermons and ad
dresses, and the "newspapers, by edi
torial mention, shall help to spread
the doctrine of carefulness; that our
schools shall adopt systematic instruc
tion in fire prevention, to the end that
our state may be made a safer and
better place in which to live.
Only by arousing the public to the
appalling situation created by our ex
cessive fire waste can the evil be cor
rected. .
Given under my hand and the seal
of the great State of Oregon, this 14th
day of September, in the year of Our
Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred
and Twenty-two.
BEN W. OLCOTT,

northwest is recognized.
