THE MORNING- OBEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18. 1905. 6 LIQUOR HEMS DENOUNCE OPTION Contend the Law Should Wiped FroifT the Stat ute Books. Be WAGE AN ETERNAL ".WAR : Association "Would Blacklist 'AllfBar- tenders Selling Iiiquor to Minors and Sec That They Se cured Xo Positions. i - SEATTLE, Wash., Oct 17. (Special.) In tholr final addresses to the Washington iLIquor Dealers' Association convention at Everett today President Gill and Secre tary Gerbel demanded an active fight against the Anti-Saloon League's local ;option crusade. The legislative committee tomorrow will make a report urging the association to meet the attacks o the Anti-Saloon League in the Legislature .and in the meantime by a campaign of education conducted 'in the press. "An Important resolution agreed upon in committee today provides for blacklisting any bartender who violates the law for 'blddlng the sale of liquor to minors. This resolution has the support of leaders in the organization and will be , reported favorably' in the morning. It binds mem bers of the association to Instruct their bartenders to refuse minors any liquor and in the event one is discovered violat ing this rule to immediately report his .name to the secretary of the state asso ciation. The secretary is instructed to make a report of any offending bartender to all members of the organization. Another resolution to be roported In the morning- is one forbidding the Officers of the association to commit the organiza tion to any political candidate or party. The declaration will he made that the, liquor dealers must keep out of party" lights. This does not prevent the sso elation from taking part: in politics, .when attacked, nor prevent Individual members from showing a preference in local or state elections, but forbids' the use of the state. name. ;May'or Headlee, of Everett weJco;ned the association at this morning's meeting and in the afternoon attended a banquet with ' association members at the new plant of the Everett Brewing Company. After the reports of ofHcers and the ap pointment of committees the ' convention -adjourned until tomorrow morning. In his. .annual address. President Gill said in part: Before our thoroughly organized and confi dent iota, the Anti-Saloon League, without thif association tee should have been as sheep without a shepherd, and - there is not tho slightest doubt that a vigorous and one-sided local option measure would have been en acted. As it is. the tables were completely turned; not only were the local option and all other hostile bills defeated, but the war was car ried into Africa, and the iniquitoup landlord's liability law was ho amended as to take the Injustice out df it. , .tr46uld especially warn "tlTo "trade' of "Wash- Ington that this is no time to rest contented with the laurels we- have won. Our enemies nre scathed, but by no means killed. They paver know defeat, but after every chock they begin to prepare for another fight. The events of the past few weeks should con vince us that we are to' be subjected to an ther struggle fiercer than the last. . "Never iWas there a time when .there was more -urg-cnt need of standing shoulder. to shoulder. ;PVrtunately our opponents are -but a noisy minority, and only by a rational appeal to the great public, which on the whole favors ier onal liberty, can we frustrate their machina tions. It Jfl only when we are disunited and "iuplne that our opponents can effect anything. 4 The saloon -Is here because of a public Remand for a. place of refreshment and con venience in many respecta which the public Sbould ill spare, and" there is- no lnhererft rea eon why it cannot perform Its use tlx- same as piny other commercial Interest. Certainly an interest that contributes -no Immensely to the Jpubllc revenue I worthy of the countenance rand support of evary filrmlnded community. " The Immediate 'dangers confronting the le gitimate liquor, trade Is local option, and It jwill be necetssary for us W . educate "tho public So the fact that the" underlying prJnciDte of prohibition and local -option arc one and the yame, the only difference being as to the scale jbn which the experiment Ms to be tried. Kvcn prohibition by an cnllrej state. Is, when com pared wjth National prohibJUon.' but state local optlon. The experience 'of history proves that flhe policy of prohibition 'ja an unvarying fall nire, for the. very good. reason that Jt .runs fcounter to the principles o human nature, howhero more predominant than in" tho Amcrlu tcan character, that resents coercion or com , pulsion of any sort. Even local option is open Jto this fatal objection, for he minority aro 'xoerced by tho majority and that in a sphere rthat of personal tastes and habits which no . aiberty-lovlng citizen is Inclined to surrender jto the dictates of others.' . And, In addition to this inherent objection fto local option. Its advocates load up tholt proposed bills with all norts of one-sided prop ositions, which would bind up the friends of personal liberty, and rendor the name of "OP TJON" a misnomer and a'deepption upon tho public. x ..'

Some of them, In addition to selling a poor Quality of whisky, also furnish facilities for gaznbllns ana prostitution. To these Immoral dens of infamy the canteen law is a big dividend-, paying: charter, securing them in power to de'Erad.' demoralize and rob the American .soldiers. . The. preamble of the resolutions KtntR thnt this nortlon of General Wil- liams' report in many particulars is so at variance with the facts that the Council. believes they were -made with out full nersonal investigation, but were based upon prejudicial and mis leading information used by the writer in a well-intentioned desire to empha size tho argument in favor or tne rc establlshmeiU of the Army canteen, and that the good name of the City of Vancouver domatids that the facts as they actually exist should be called to the attention botn or uenerai Wil liams and of the. Secretary of War. The resolutions, which are five in number. while admitting there is a large num ber of saloons In "Vancouver in pro portion to population, declare this fact to be due as much to other clrcunT stances as to the presence of soldiers at Vancouver Barracks.

Oct, 17. fSbeciaU Their eyes opened' to the conditions surrounding their settlement in the Deschutes irrigation ois r!rr thrnnph the nublicatlon of the pro ceedings had before the State Land Board, in the adjustment of tne mncrences Be tween tho Deschutes Irrigation and Power Company, and the State Engineer, in which the latter demanded that the com pany be required to establish and submit a set of rules, in accordance with the pro visions of the Carey act before he would consent to approve applications for patent to alleged reclaimed arid lands, the Des chutes Settlers' Association, recently formed, appeared by counsel before the State Land Board this afternoon and en tered a vlgorous protest against the man ner In -which the irrigation company is "binding them down to contract without legal recourse" In case the provisions are in any sense violated. The question was argued animatedly until late this after noon, when further consideration was postponed until the Irrigation company can be represented' by legal counsel, which will probably be a week hence. The difficulty arises between the settlers and the irrigation company in the discov ery that, through the alleged misrepresen tations of the company's representatives In submitting that the form of application for the purchase of land which they were required to sign, was that which was ap proved by the State Land Board as pro vided in the Carey act, when the applica tion blank approved by the Land Board was supplemented by an agreement on the Inside, the effect ot which Is claimed to deprive the settler of all of his rights in the premises and convert tho use of his money to the development of the project, beside the charge of a regular rate of In terest on deferred payments. It was shown that it has been the prac tice of the company to require the settlers to sign the application and agreement to take the land and make half payment upon it. the balance running for a speci fied period, bearing InteresL The settlers were also required to sign personal notes for the balance of the contract price, which notes, it Is represented, .had becrf negotiated for "convenience only" were transferred to a third party, and an Issue of so-called collateral trust bonds is being made founded upon a deposit of those notes, which were supposed to be the set tler's perspnal obligations, and free from any and all conditions. The attorney for the settlers. Chostor . Murphy, also represented by Chairman E. D. Hendrlcksen and A. M. Drake, of Bead, suggested that this was the proper time to require rules to be submitted and approved before application for patent was allowed, that settlers intending to use watex; may definitely know their rights and status before entering into con tracts with the company. After patent. d contractk which th0 settlors are M.,, 1n , thA iJUifr L.m,M have no authority under the law to re quire the company to submit Its rules and regulations. The' forms of applications for lands re quired by the company, it is alleged, con tain other matter and agreement for the settler to sign which are doomed objection able and embody provisions which belong rule, and which haw heretofore been rejected by the board as such, when sub mitted by the Columbia Southern Irriga tion Company. On this latter occasion, the board also took a decided stand that the company had.no right to collect in terest prior to the date -of reclamation, which was shown to have beon the. prac tice of the company for a year past. The board postponed discussion as to - what should be done about settlers' contracts heretofore signed under representations that the forms so signed had been ap proved by the board until the company could be represented by an attorney. In tervention and action by the board, which has supervisory control over the disposi tion of the lands cn this subject, was requested by the settlers. Manager J. O. Johnston, of the Des chutes Irrigation Company, who was pres ent at the meeting, contended that they were 'under no obligations to sell except for full cash payments, and if they made such concessions they had a right to de mand of the settlers any conditions they saw fit. The board did not concur in this contention. One member advanced tho suggestion that the company would find It Impossible to settle the Innds if full cash payment was adhered to. while the Governor contended that it would be bet ter they were never settled than that set tlors should sign the contract required by the company.
