CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER-
been
Without the support of the Clackamas delegation, it would have
useless to introduce a bill. ' . '
This is weak argument, at best. All business concerns increase, the sal
aries of their employees whenever justice demands it. The legislature should
do the same.
The following are some of the 825 men who signed a petition to the
legislature asking that the salary be increased, to $1600.00 without any men
tion being made of the plan to dispense with the services of one supervisor.
These names are given because the assertion has been made that the signers
of the petition were mill hands who did not pay heavy taxes:
B. T. McBain, H. C. Stevens, Chas. H. Caufield, E. G. Caufield, D. C.
Latourtete, C. D. Latpurette, R. Petzold, Joseph E. Tledges, M. D. Latour
ette, John W. Loder, C. E. Spence, L. Adams, J. T. Apperson, W. P. Kir
chem, Geo. H. Brown, John F Risley, C. W. Risley, H. G. Starkweather,
John R. Cole, W. W. Everhart, Wm. Andresen,. Geo. A. Harding, W. A
Huntley, Clyde Huntley, O. D. Eby, W. H. Bair.
Two of the circulators of the petitions reported that out of more than
a hundred persons approached only five declined to sign the petition.
We hope that Clackamas county will put itself on record by giving this
measure a large majority.
HE LAST STAND The wets are making their last stand before 'the
,F THE WETS Tuesday election. It is a lost cause. They have sent
t letters to the voters of the city using all of the old stand-by arguments
fat have been worn through every prohibition campaign in recent years.
Of the signers on that letter there is not a single bank. There are no
nufacturing industries. There are no doctors, no lawyers, no department
res, no educators, nor a single man or woman whose influence in his pro-
Lssion tends to uplift and elevate the moral fiber of the community.
Such a letter is worthless, ineffective, and utterly useless in expressing
ybody's opinion about any of the issues that are to be brought before the
;ople at the forthcoming election. Te factors that have to do with the
wn's development are not there- The elements that contribute to the
oral and financial features of the city life are not represented. The hurry
d bustle with which some of the signatures were secured brought none of
pose names that deal with the business nor with the moral tone of the com-
punity.
In- addition, the arguments that are used are those that have been worn
Jut by the experiences of other cities and that have lost their effectiveness
y the proof that they were not true.
The contention that the city would lose trade because of the tendency of
lie man who drinks to go to Portland for his liquor and while there purchase
Ither goods, is as false as the foundation upon which the saloon stands. It
K weak, fragile, and a poor excuse. The wets are also afraid that the farm-
Irs who come into the city for their trade will go to towns where they can
ret their liquor at the same time and that Oregon City, will as a result, lose
Jhe businesss that comes to it from the outside farming districts.
It is a notorious fact that many of the farmers of the county now send
heir boys to Canby and other dry towns to purchase goods rather than send
I hem to a city where their every step is waylaid by the saloon and the evil
influences that the saloon breeds and in which it flourishes.
The wets are feaurful, too, that the man who goes into Portland will get
drunk while he is there and that he will try to make up for lost time by tat
Jing more than he would were the liquor right here at home. The consump
tion of liquor in the city would not be lessened, they contend, and the condi
tions under which it could be bought would be worse than under the saloon
regime. "
But of all of the arguments that the saloon produces, the funniest one
is its fear that the prohibition law will breed hyprocrisy and the utter disre
gard for all law. Coming from the saloon, this is really amusing. The
Iterrible fear that has taken a firm grip on the throat of the saloon is not that
Ithe people of the city will need booze and that they will violate the law, but
rather than THEY WILL SEE THE LIGHT AND KICK OUT A
DISEASE THAT HAS CURSED THE CITY FOR YEARS.
The saloon has the right to be afraid of this. The people have come to
the point where they see that there is no good whatever in the saloon. They
know now, after years of experience, that no good thing ever did or ever can
lome out of a saloon, that it curses the city in which it thrives, that its regard
for law is not high enough to make it fear that law violation will occur, and
that it taxes the people for something that gives no benefit in return.
The saloons had better let this question of taxation alone. It has been
yelling its head off for the past few weeks that the city would have to raise
the levy in order to meet the loss of the revenue. But the taxes that drain a
city, that take the incomes and earnings of thousands, that fatten the pocket
books of men who do not have the slightest interests here and whose only am
bition is to keep a still firmer grip on the neck of the people, total more than
a dozen times what the loss in revenue could ever be or what the cost in an
increased levy would entail.
The saloons are a bluff. Theii .arguments have been nothing but bluff
all of these years. The liquor trust is in the same list with all other "trusts
that threaten all sorts of dire calamities that they are powerless to bring about.
The National Liquor Dealers Journal admits through its editorials of a
Tecent date that the cause is lost and that the liquor interests are merely fight
ing for time. They realize better than do those who fight them that the
people of the country have become aroused to the iniquity of the saloon and
have been the curse as it really is.
The arguments now are the same as they formerly were, but they fall
short of their mark. They don't carry the conviction now that they once
did, for the saloons themselves issue them in the half-hearted spirit that ad
mits hpfnrp an plprfion that Jill is Insf Ttc intprpst in the rhnrnrtpr nf flip
people or the community, its solicitude over the welfare of the boy whose
(father it curses, its amusing fear that the prohibition law will make mollycod
dles and law breakers are all sent out as the characteristic line of "bunk" for
WilWlI U1C hctlUUIl! Ill ICt-CUL ycuis iiitvc ucuuic iuuuu:.
THEIR CAUSE IS LOST AND THEY KNOW IT.
O
SERVICES ARE The county superintendency act will no doubt carry by
POORLY PAID a good majority. It is conceded that the salary now
-paid the county superintendent is out of all proportion to the service rendered
'and to the salaries paid by other counties of the state.
: About the only argument against the measure is that an officer should
not ask for an increase while in otiice. Mr. Uary informs the Lnterprice
that he visited the delegates from Clackamas county during the 1911 session
of the legislature to secure the passage of a bill. Hon. E. P. Carter had
t-.il'pn a ct-snrl nn mnt-tpn: in a cpnprfll wav that would nnt nprmit Jii'c vntinrr
. . to j i - -
consistently for any salary bill. Hon. M. A. Magone had stated repeatedly
during the campaign that if elected, he would not vote to increase any salary.

WHO MRS. DUNIWAY IS.
OREGON CITY, Ore., Nov. 1. (Ed
itor of The Enterprise Mrs. Duniway
is the sister of Harvey W. Scott, the
late editor of the Oregonian. Mr.
Scott was the bitter enemy of Union
labor; he was the enemy of the initi
ative and referendum; of statement
No. 1 of Woman's Suffrage and of pro
hibition. Mrs Duniway's mind practi
cally runs in the same groove of her
great brother's. She has never es
poused any of the above principles ex
cept woman's suffrage. Mrs. Duniway
has never been a philanthropist like
Frances Willard; she has not the
broad view of Dr. Anna Shaw. She
is a local character with a vigorous
expression and a narrow conception.
Her activities have been centered in
the one thing woman's suffrage. Mrs.
Duniway has never been a strong fact
or in religious moral reforms. She is
a mental aristocrat in her conserva
tism. Should she organize a moral re
form, she would have no following and
her disappomtment would be heart
breaking, for it would be founded on
caste, not on class.

will hit all of us that is all of us ex
cept the churches and their pastors,
who don't pay any tax anyway and
as closing them will not stop liquor
consumption here, where is to be the
profit?'
Closing the saloons will stop ilO.OOO
annual revenue. Closing the saloons
will breed blind pigs, and will ad to
police expenses. Closing saloons will
indirectly drive trade to Portland.
Closing saloons will add ten vacant
store-buildings to those already yawn
ing for tennants. And closing sa
loons will not better moral conditions.
Just from the dollars-and-cents view
point, then, what are the citizens' to
gain from closin? them?

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Official Censor Should See That Our
Plays Are Clean
By HENRY CLEWS, Banker, of New York
1 HEARTILY FAVOR THE APPOINTMENT OF AN OFFICIAL CEN
SOR IN THIS COUNTRY WHO WOULD PREVENT THE PRESEN
TATION ON THE STAGE OF PLAYS THAT OFFEND THE SENSE
OF DECENCY WHICH IS INHERENT IN EVERY MAN AND WOMAN
WHOSE MORAL SENSE IS NOT BLUNTED.
As a person cannot touch pitch and not be defiled, in like manner our
sons and daughters cannot witness a vulgar act on the stage without hav
ing their sense of modesty soiled by contact with the unclean.
I believe the stage could be and should be the great TEACHER OF
MORALITY. Many a man and a woman, too, can look back and remem
ber the good seed that yas planted in their 'minds years ago by some
play that was written to INSTRUCT AND ELEVATE AND NOT
TO DEGRADE.
OREGON CITY, Ore., Nov. 1. (Ed
itor of The Enterprise) I have read
with much interest the letters that
have appeared in this column and else
where during the last several days, in
which various local workers for the
Anti-Saloon League have rewritten
and revamped paid prohibtion adver
tising that has appeared in the Salem
papers. These letters have contained
entertaining discourses upon Belling
iiarn. Wash., Eugene, Albany and Rose
burg, Oregon but have not hay any
thing to say about conditions in Ore
gon City. Permit me to suggest that
possibly the thing for voters to con
sider next Tuesday is what this so
called "prohibition" will be apt to do
to Oregon City. As this community
is within easy reach of Portland,
which will not be a "dry" city, and
as local merchants are even now figh
ing to keep trade at home, it seems
to me that closing local saloons will
only force more buyers to Portland,
where they can get both liquor and
general merchandise at the same
time. Closing local saloons will also
deprive this city of much-needed rev
enue which local workers of the Anti-
Saloon League do not deny and it
will not produce any material bene
fits. In the blunt language of another
writer: "By what process of reason
ing can one expect to establish a dry
island amid a sea of booze, and the
waves of the sea never lap the shores
of the little island?"
And,, quite incidentally, how will
Oregon City people barbers, bakers,
shoe-makers and other artisans like
an "occupational tax," such as has
been levied in Roseburg, to make up
for the loss of saloon license money?
Something will have to be done here
to make up the extra city revenue,
and the occupational tax seems the
simplest. Closing the local saloons
