CONTROL LIQUOR TRAFFIC Gottenberg System of Sweden Is Suggested for the City . of Portland. FARM IT OUT TO BIDDER Gustaf Swepson Says If License for Entire' Business "Was Let to Sin gle Corporation or Individ ual CltyAVouId Benefit. L has remained for a newcomer to Port Id to suggest an original reform In liquor traffic. He doesn't ask for a larger police force, a higher license fee, the re moval of screens or the election of a strict prohibition candidate. He has a suggestion that Is new to Portland and comparatively new to America, but which has been carried out In some parts of Europe with the utmost success and sat isfaction. The man who brings the new suggestion is Mr. Gustaf Swensson, father of A. F. Swensson, of the firm of Swensson Sc. Co., with offices at 263 Washington street. Mr. Swensson came to Portland , last Sep tember from Moline, 111., of which city he has twice been Mayor, and will make his homo hero for the remainder of his life. Joining the real estate firm of which hl3 his son Is the head. The liquor traffic question attracted Mr. Swensson because of the agitation cur rent at the time he reached this city. He began to compare conditions here with conditions in his old home, Gottenberg, Sweden, and determined that if tho same method In vogue in the litter place was to be used In Portland the result would" be beneficial both to the municipality and to the citizens. "I was in business In Gottenberg, Swe den, from 1S65 until 1871," said Mr. Swens son yesterday, "and took a particular In terest In studying the way In which the question of liquor traffic is handled there. Gottenberg was at that time a city of about 75,600 Inhabitants. The system of which I speak has been used there for the past 40 .years, and is now in operation in almost ail the cities of Norway and Swe den with good results. I believe It is the only "system by which liquor traffic can "be controlled. It weeds out all low and objectionable dramshops; It prevents the sale of impure liquor; It stops .minors and habitual drunkards from Indulging In strong drinks; it decreases the number of saloons, and It gives the public the benefit of the profit from the saloons, which Is paid over to the city less ex penses and Interest on the capital invest ed. Whnt-Corporatlon Accomplished. "On the 1st of October, 1S63, a corpora tion took charge of the liquor traffic of the City of Gottenberg, but owing to contracts and concessions then In exist ence. It could not secure full control of the entire traffic until 1S75. Within a period of 24 years thereafter, the city's profit amounted to 16.2S2.2eO crowns, the largest yearly profit being SS9.304 crowns and the smallest 4S9.133. "All liquors are required to be of a" certain standard of purity, and city de tectives are frequently visiting the" -saloons for the purpose of Inspecting the stock, and If any adulteration is detected the liquor is confiscated and forwarded to headquarters and destroyed. "All managers of saloons are salaried and have no interest In profits, so they have no Inducements for violating rules, keeping open after hours, or selling to minors and habitual drunkards; they are under the surveillance of the City In spectors, and, It found violating rules, are immediately reported and discharged. "Would Defray All Expenses. "All locations are designed by the cor poration, and all buildings required In the business rented and fitted up, with special reference to light, ventilation and sanitary conditions. The corporation fur nishes all liquor to be sold and makes Its own regulations as to the sale and price, which is uniform in all places; stipulates the hour of selling, which must conform with the city ordinances, and the quantity to be sold to any one person at any one time or In succession. "If the City Council of Portland would pass an ordinance, based on this system. providing for the control of the liquor traffic by an individual or corporation. the" license to be Issued to the highest bidder, the revenue that could be ob tained would, without question, be ade auate to defray all expenses of well lighted streets, good and sufficient police and. fire protection, and for beautifying Its parks and public places. At the same time It would eliminate the saloon Inter est from politics and procure honest and able men to administrate tne city s af fairs. That the Gottenberg system has served the purpose of decreasing the con sumption of liquors in that city is proved by statistics, which show that In 1S70 the average consumption per head was 11-6 litres, while In 1S78 It had been reduced to 4.66 litres. Reduction in Saloons. "When tho corporation took charge of the saloons It found one saloon for every 8535 persons, and in 1S99 they were re duced to one for every li,43i. The cor poration also operates a' number of places named "public houses," where well-pre pared food is served. In connection with liquors, at a reasonable price. In 1863 there was one public house for every 2203 persons, which number decreased so rap Idly that in 1S6B only one public house ex isted for every 8158 persons. It Is not unusual In the city of Gottenberg to ilnd respectable iamllies of all classes, and even -ministers of the gospel, patronize public houses where liquor is served with meals. If so desired, by polite and neatly dressed waiters at well-set tables and at reasonable prices." Mr. Swensson states that this Is the only successful method of regulating the liquor traffic that he has ever seen in operation. He stated yesterday that he would be willlnjr to form the cor poration if the City of Portland took kindly t o tne scneme. tie explains that the corporation gets only percentage on the ' money actually in vested, all the actual profits going to the city treasury. The managers of tne sa loons receive salaries, all of which are unlforra. and therefore have no incentive to encourage people to enter their sa loons. The city. In tkte manner, can des Igaate the places where saloons should be located, can regumte . the nuraeer ot re sorts and can see that each place Is con ducted in a proper manner. In the cities of Norway and Sweden, where the sys tem is now in use, the frequenters are notified 15 minutes before closing time that the hour for discontinuing- business is approaching, and all saloons are closed exactly on time. , If the manager of the saloon does not obey the law to the letter he Is removed and another put in his place. "Portland at present has," Mr. Swens son went on to say, "at least 450' saloons, each ot which pays a yearly license of $450. making- an approximate total of $202,500. A corporation would, no doubt, pay high for the concession, and added to the amount of the corporation's bid would be all the actual profits from all the sa loons, which would amount to a greater revenue than the sum now obtained. Be sides the liquor traffic would be con trolled and conditions bettered. The cor poration's expense bill may be audited by the City Auditor and then paid. These, together with the Interest paid" to the corporation on the actual amount In vested, constitute the total expenditures. The remainder of the receipts goes Into the city treasury." LUMBERMEN ORGANIZE. Manufacturers Form an Association. at a Sleeting Held in Portland. The Oregon Lumber Manufacturers Association was organized yesterday morning in the main parlors of the Hotel Portland, lumbermen representing- a dally output of fully 1,500,000 feet of lumber be-? Ing present. There were about 30 men at the meeting. The organization Includes mills in counties of the State of Wash ington bordering on the Columbia River and its tributaries. The following were elected officers oC the association: Philip Buehner. of tha Eastern & Western Lumber Company, president; I. J. Wentworth. of Portland, W. R. Hume, of Astoria. George H. Kel ly, of Eugene; C W. Thompson, of Cas cade Locks, and L. J. Simpson, of North Bend, vice-presidents; F. C. Knapp, ot the Peninsula Lumber Company, treas urer, and George M. Cornwall, of tho Tlmberman, secretary. At a meeting of the. association held In the afternoon the -trade conditions were discussed. The different lumbermen told of tho prices they had been receiving for their materials and reported that there was a good demand, for lumber. It was agreed by all those present to ask fon better prices, as they believed the de mand warranted an advance. No stipu lated prices were agreed upon as the con ditions are not the same in all parts of the state. WILL COMEJTO PORTLAND Headquarters of Women of "Wood craft to Be Moved Shortly. Woodmen of the World delegates td the convention of the order at Los An geles are returning slowly. Some have got back, but the main contingent 13 still due. J. M. Wodworth, clerk, ot Multnomah Camp, ,77, says there is no question that the headquarters of the Women of Woodcraft will come to Portland. The flrst'vote was a-major-lty, but as there was some question as to the legality of settling the .place o the headquarters on that basis, another vote was" taken, -which resulted in a two-thirds vote. Just when the building for it will be erected Is not yet known among- thd local fraternity, but Mr. Woodworth thinks that when all the delegates are home there will be some definite in formation on the subject. It may be some time before a movement can be made toward putting up a building. At least a three-story brick structure will be needed for the use of the numerous clerks and heads' of departments. The fact that William Rehlt has offered a. lot for the headquarters building on Union avenue, nea'r'Holladay avenue, will likely facilitate the moving to Portland. ' H. M.
