CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER
BAR MONEY WOULD Conservative estimates that have been made by
BE SPENT IN STORES reliable investigators give the annual cost of the
saloons to Oregon City at $100,000. Estimates that have been made after
careful study of the local situation place .even a higher cost on the saloons
at $150,000.
This vast amount of money that annually comes out of the pockets of the
men who drink is spent over the bars of the 10 saloons that are now licensed
by the city council. A great deal of this goes to the Portland liquor houses
and does no good to the people of the city. Part of it, $10,000 a year, is
turned into the funds of the city in the form of a license tax. Part of it, too,
if paid for the employes around the saloons and for the light, heat, room renr
and other local attendant expenses of a bar.
But by far the greatest portion of the amount pours into the coffers of
the liquor houses of the metropolis and never finds its way again into the
markets and trade of the community. It is money that is spent and gone.
It cannot even be said that it circulates again the community. It cannot be
claimed that this vast amount of annual tax is spent over the bar only to find
its way again into the legitimate channels of trade anq1 to be again picked up
bv the purchaser of the drink in the ordinary course of business.
Most of the money now spent in the Oregon City saloons is lost. It is a
tax that this city pays yearly to Portland. It is a fund that is shipped out
of here by the thousands of dollars to the Portland liquor dealers and that
is gone forever as far as the business and trade of this city are concerned.
Better were it that the men who spend that money should throw it in the
street for it might yet be of service to the community and might finally find
its way through the channels of business back into the marts of trade.
Were the saloons of this city closed by a prohibition election of the city
and were the official ban placed upon the selling of liquors of all sorts, this
vast tax would be spent in legitimate channels and would find its way into
the stores and shops where the merchants are doing a proper and necessary
business. These merchants gain npthing from the saloons. The paltry
amounts that the few employes of the bars spend with them is nothing in com
parison to the vast amount that is soaked away in the Portland bank vaults to
the credits of the liquor houses of the metropolis.
The abolition of the saloon would bring this money into its proper.chan-
Deadly Firebug Menace Must
Be Held In Check by g?f
Stern Measures
By JOSEPH JOHNSON, Fire Commissioner of
New York
Photo by' American
Press Association.
NIGHT after night have I been called out to
fires where the clear white flames bursting
from many or all windows indicated the use
of alcohol. Even the newly recruited fireman
would exclaim, "A touch off!"
THE PROFESSIONAL FIREBUG IS A DEADLY
MENACE TO THE COMMUNITY, A CUNNING
AND CONSCIENCELESS CRIMINAL WHO WORKS
IN SECRET AND IS WHOLLY RECKLESS OF THE LIVES HE MAY
ENDANGER, WHOSE ONE THOUGHT IS FINANCIAL GAIN FOR HIM
SELF, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES MAY BE FOR
OTHERS AND WHO ONLY TOO OFTEN FINDS SAFETY WITHIN THE
LAW.
To those of us to whom the suffering and horror which too often fol
low in the wake of fire are thoroughly familiar the FIREBUG IS BE
YOND THE PALE OF CONSIDERATION. The burglar or highway
man at least runs chances of himself receiving deadly injury, but the
firebug may be quietly and in PERSONAL COMFORT building up an
alibi while his victims are being roasted to death. ,
We firemen do not presume to point out to those in authority what
the remedy for this state of affairs should be, but we most" urgently rec
ommend that others whose business it is should not only continue their
present activities, but extend them and keep on extending them until
the accursed CRIME OF ARSON IS SUPPRESSED. . s
I am of the opinion that careful studies along the lines of revision of
the law, SEVERER PENALTIES, continued activity and vigilance on
the part of public officials and a full and complete co-operation with them
by the insurance companies, as well as self protection by the owners of
buildings by discrimination in the selection of tenants, would tend largely
toward the stamping out of the crime of arson or toward its control.
THERE IS NO MEANER OR MORE DESPICABLE CRIMINAL ON
EARTH THAN HE WHO DELIBERATELY PLANS WHAT MAY BE
COME A HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST FOR THE SAKE OF PERSONAL
GAIN. . -
pels. It would stem the current of illegitimate tax that is now pouring con
tinuallv toward Portland. It would turn that current into the business
houses of the city, would increase the -volumn tf business annually transacted
by the local concerns, and would widen and deepen the channels of trade that
are here established. . .
Better yet, it. would increase and fatten the bank deposits of .the city.
Families now in straightened circumstances because of the tendency of the
husband or brother to spend the money over the bar for drink would awake
to find that they had a bank account. The annual deposits of the local bank
ing institutions would increase. The business of the city would grow. The
marts of trade would become brisk. The city would in general prosper as
has every other city where the plan has been generally tried.
Most men who drink do so from habit unless they have followed the path
for such a time that the habit has gained its upper hand and the liquor has
become necessary to them. Even these would halt to make such an admission.
Few of them point to any good thing that the salooru has done or even can
do for the city. It means nothing to the community, brings nothing into the
community. Worse than that, it annually takes from that community thous
ands of dollars that pour into the coffers of liquor men in Portland.
If this current of silver dollars were stemmed, if it were diverted into the
rightful- marts of trade, if it were used to build up and to improve the com
munity, the money would become of some use to the city and the people who
live here and transact their business here.
Now it weakens the bank acount. It . lightens the pocketbooks. It
empties the larder of the family and prevents the household from meeting the
ever increasing grocery bill.
It is interesting to contemplate what this city could do with the extr,
money that would thus be saved to it yearly. The tax now paid to Portland
is greater than the city would ever have paid for its rental of the water of
Pull -Run. It would furnish the city with the new water supply for years
to come. It would build a pipe line clear to the mountain sources of the
south fork of the Clackamas. It would construct nearly 20 miles of the best
hard surface road every year. It would mean that in 45 years all of the
main trunk roads of the county would be hard surfaced ,and highways con
structed that would be of lasting benefit to the county for generations.
OREGON UNDER Now that the new tariff is law, it is time for Ore
THE NEW TARIFF gon to consider the changes in the position of its
leading industries wrought by the new duties, says the Oregonian. We must
adjust our business to new conditions, which open the markets of our chief in
dustries to the competition of the world. ' .
We had a duty on raw wool equal to five to seven cents a pound on the
scoured fleece ; now we have free wool.
We' had a duty on lumber ranging from $1.25 to $2.75 per thousand
feet; now we have free lumber.
We had a duty of twenty-five cents a bushel on wheat ; now wheat comes
in free. -
The duty on flour was forty-five cents a barrel ; now it is wiped out.
There were duties on milk of two cents a gallon ; cream .five cents a gal
lon; eggs, five cents a dozen;" now all are free.
Butter and cheese formerly paid a duty of six cents a pound; this is re
duced to two and one-half cents.
Oats will now come in at six cents instead of fifteen cents a bushel, and
oatmeal will pay only one-third cent instead of one cent a pound.
Cattle formerly paid $2 and $3.75 a head ; sheep, seventy-five cents and
$1.50 a head ; hogs, $1.50 a head ; now all come in free, as does fresh meat of
all kinds, which was subject to a duty of one and one-half cents a pound.
Apples, peaches, cherries, plums, pears and quinces paid a duty of twenty
five cents a bushel ; now they pay only ten cents. -
iWe had a duty of 30 per cent on canned fish ; now it is 15 per cent.
Fresh, dried, smoked, salted or frozen salmon paid three-fourths cent to one
cent per pound; now all are free. .
On jute bags we paid seven-eighths cent a pound plus 15 per cent ; now
we pay 10 cents. Wheat comes in free ; the bags in which we ship our wheat
are still taxed. " -
These are a few examples of the bearing of the new tariff on Oregon s
leading industries. Watch how it works.
