CITY OFFICIAL
WHO PAYS "Boosters for booze" are making an awful yell the last few"
THE LICENSE? days about that measly little $10,000 that they annually
turn into the coffers of the city for their right to extract $150,000 from the
people over the bars. They talk as though the saloon were a philanthropic
institution to pay such a large percentage of its receipts for the right to trans
ect its ruinous business inside of the corporate litmits of the city.
As a matter of fact, who pays this license anyway ? Out of whose pockets
does it come ? The man who frequents the saloons because there he finds the
sociability that he seeks, the class of men with whom he wants to talk.
Drinking men are so because they have become, in the first place, accustomed
to their social glass. They walk into the saloon , to talk over matters of
common interest to them while they sip the liquor that cheers and, at the
same time, steals away their brains.
The arguments of these boosters for the booze traffic has been along one
line that of the tremendous tax that is annually paid for the right to con
tinue in their nefarious line of business. It is the only argument that they
can offer to the people. When it is considered that the man who spends his
income over the bar is the man who pays this license tax, who pays in the
end for the vast loads of money that go every year into the coffers of the
Portland liquor houses, who maintains the saloons, who pays the employes,
the rent, the light, and the fixture cost, it is not such an awful thing that
the people of this city should rise and, by their vote, declare that they would
rather see that money go even directly into the. treasury of the city than indi
rectly through the saloons.
Even admitting, for the sake of argument, that the taxes of the city would
be higher with prohibition than without, would it not be better for the peo
ple in the end to pay those taxes directly into the city treasury than to pay
them in dribblets through the saloons?
Under the present system, the saloons are made the collector of the city
taxes. They are given the right to collect thousands of dollars for the city
that afterwards find their way into the treasury.
The defenders of the saloons would argue that the fact the 10 bars of
the city pay into the treasury $10,00Qa year is enough reason to allow their
continuance and the steady loss to the city of $150,000 a year. It sounds
like the same old argument that the tax collectors of Great Britian used
when they fought the question of opium prohibition in China.
England used that same argument when it wanted to dope the Chinese
for the sake of a few dollars that it annually received in revenues. It uses
that argument today in the fight that it has consistently waged against the
ambition of the rulers of that oriental kingdom to receive its people and to
give them a standing among the nations of the world.
The defenders of every illegitimate business base their reasons for its ex
istence upon the monetary feature of the tax. They have no other .argument
to offer and they offer none. To contend that liquor, opium or any other
drug is a necessity, a benefit, or does anything good for the community is
a brand of foolishness than even the defenders of the traffic would never
dare to present to an intelligent voting population.
The boosters for booze are on a par
pany of Germany, that would willingly stirr up war between the French
and German nations for the sake of the financial-advantage that would ac
crue to the company. Dollars against lives has always been the argument of
this brand of parasite. The almighty dollar is their only god.,
England -would have doped China with opium for the sake of the rev
enues that it got from the importation of Indian poison. Krupp would have
stirred up an international conflict that cost thousands of lives for the sake
of the revenues that it would get in the purchase of armament. The saloons
. of the city would tax the people $150,000 annually for the sake of the mpney
that pours into the coffers of the saloons and into the pockets of the liquor
dealers of Portland.
DRAINAGE The bill prepared by the National Drainage Congress to
FUND BILL establish a drainage fund and for other purposes, introduced
-in the house by Representative Champ Clarke and known as H. B. 8189, will,
if it becomes a law in its essential features, mark an epoch in the history of
inland improvements. The department of agriculture estimates that there
are in forty states over 79,000,000 acres of swamp and overflow land re
claimable for agriculture and grazing. It is estimated that 40,000,000 acres

of this may be reclaimed for crop production under present conditions.
About 150,000,000 acres of land now too wet for best results can by drainage
be made to produce at least one-fifth more crops. ' -
Experience in private drainage districts has shown that a single year's
crop will defray the expense of draining and protecting from floods' land
erstwhile valuless but thereafter of great value. Unfortunately private
drainage districts are unsuccessful along the great streams, for floods descend
from districts over which individual land owners have no control and these
a
floods wipe out the work individuals have done. Congress has from time
to time made appropriations for work that was of no permanent value. This
bill provides for comprehensive projects, permitting a definite plan of flood
protection, drainage and reclamation work for the entire country. . Under it
the government would pay only for such work as would promote interstate
navigation or improve the public health. The expense of draining and re
claiming lands must be borne by those immediately benefited. All objections
as to invasion of the rights of states and confiscation of property are met by
detailed provisions of the bill. The only possible criticism of the measure is
that too much attention may have been paid to objections of arather captious
character. ;
Congress has acted wisely in establishing the great irrigation system. It
cannot consistently refuse to take steps to reclaim the vast empire of crop
producing land which passage of the drainage fun4 bill would ultimately
bring. And the devastating floods of
the country has been remiss in dealing with its river problem. The report
of the Boafd of Army Engineers submitted to jhe secretary of war this week
shows that haphazard methods are extravagant and ineffectual.
