WOULD. 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. '
