18 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND, JULY 12. 1914 SHOW POSTER DESIGN IS CHOSEN. COMMITTEE OF 100 OUT FOR DRY STATE Luxurious, Cooh Inviting Is the Arcadian Garden the Idea) Place for Your Sunday Dinner Organization Just Completed Not Allied With Others, but Is Representative. FIGHT BASED ON REALITIES Xetv Association Includes Men Who Pay $5,000,000 Vearly for Help and Arc Confident Prohibition Will Add to Prosperity. Organization was completed yester day of the committee of 100, which pro poses to carry on a vigorous campaign on behalf of the prohibition amend ment to the constitution, which will be on the ballot next November. The membership of the committee will be limited to 100. Its members are composed in large measure of promi nent business men of the state, most of whom are' In Portland. There are also a number of wmen on the com mittee. "We shall support no candidate and no party," declare the members of the committee, who make It emphatio that they are not third party prohibitionists. The organization is not affiliated with the Anti-Saloon League, the Pro hibition party or similar organizations. In a statement issued yesterday it was announced that the committee of 100 believes that prohibition will be an economic advantage to the State of Oregon; that it will injure no business, save only that of the brewer and saloon-man. "We are confident the hop business will not be affected in any way by Oregon prohibition." declared the com mittee. "Our campaign is to be one of logic and cold, hard facts. Muckraking Not Contemplated. "We want no sympathy plea. We shall not 'muckrake' the brewer, or any allied interest. "We want the voters of Oregon to consider the facts and arguments on both sides, then to declare their de cision." The officers of the committee: Chair man, J. E. Wheeler: vice-chairmen, Amedee M. Smith and Robert Living stone; secretary. Dr. R. C. Coffey, and treasurer, John S. Bradley. Offices for the committee have been opened in the Ablngton building, while the publicity offices are at 74S Morgan building in charge of Orton E. Goodwin, a Portland newspaper man. "The Committee of One Hundred Is an organization of business men who hope to prove by facts and figures the advantages of prohibition to Oregon. We shall support no candidate, no party ana no measure save only the prohi bition amendment." said John E. Whel er, chairman of the committee. "We find that in the membership of this committee we have represented directly the employers of thousands of workmen and a payroll running con siderably over $5,000,000 a year. "These men have no fear of any busi ness depression as a result of prohi bition. Instead, they expect to see a marked stimulus in trade. Sympathetic Flea Avoided. "We do not favor a snap vote or a sympathetic vote. We want the people of Oregon to consider the question from all angles. "We feel sure that after a careful analysis of facts the thoughtful voter -.v 111 feel compelled to vote for prohi bition. "The hopgrowers of Oregon, for In stance, are afraid prohibition in Oregon will hurt them. Why? "The revenue from the hop business is about $5,000,000 a year in outside money. "At least 95 per cent, and perhaps 98 per cent, growers say, of this crop is old outside of the state and most of It abroad. "So Oregon prohibition can't hurt the Oregon hop crop or the Oregon hop grower. The buyer Is going to buy hops where he can get them to. the best ad vantage. Local conditions won't worry him. He is a business man. He is go ing to buy hops where he can get the best for least money. "Europe will continue to be the world's big market for hops. Prohi bition here will not change that. Pro hibition in Oregon will not affect the price here 1 cent a pound. It cannot affect the price of hop lands. Prohi bition in Oregon, therefore, can hardly effect the 60,000 odd hoppickers. "We know that prohibition will be an Impetus to business; Instead of be ing harmful. "Facts, Not Theories," Presented. "Money that has been going for liquor will be. variable for other pur poses. This will release a vast sum for investment and development In Oregon. It will enable the average family to spend more. The butcher, the baker, the grocer will see the benefits of prohibition, aa they have elsewhere. Their sales will increase; their per centage of bad bills will decrease. "The Individual saloonman has often a hard row to hoe. Should this amend ment pass it will not go Into effect until 1916. There will be time for re adjustment. "There shall be no personalities in our fight Our fight will be one of facts, not theories. "These aspects of the case we want the people of Oregon to consider. We want a decisive vote one way or the other, for such a vote will mean some thing." Up to the present 90 names are on the membership of the committee; the remaining ten will be added in the course of a few days. There will probably later be added an associate membership of several hundred others, so that the commit tee will have a representation in every community. Committee Personnel Given.

SANDBA6GERS GOTO JAIL PROSECUTOR PLEADS FOR LENI ENCY FOR MALEFACTOR. Deputy Deicli Condones Offense of Oscar Olnns, Out on Parole, Blaming Partner Most. William Berger and Oscar Olhns pleaded guilty in Municipal Court yes terday to sandbagging Helmar John son and stealing a S12 watch from, him. Berger was sentenced to 860 days In the County Jail and Oihns to 300. Deputy District Attorney Deich made a plea for Olhns, who Is on parole from an Indeterminate sentence off two to five years for burglary. The Dis trict Attorney said If Judge Stevenson would sentence the young man on the larceny charge, he would go before the Circuit Court and ask that Oihns be not sent to the Penitentiary for this violation. Berger, said Mr. Delch, is a "bad actor." He has served terms in the Walla Walla and Salem Penitentiaries, and was Just released by the grand Jury on a forgery charge. "Oihns," declared Mr. Deich. "is the third young man who has violated his parole under the , tutelage of Berger, who seems to have been the leader in each case. It would hardly be right to send Olhns to the Penitentiary for this violation, and a heavy sentence on the misdemeanor charge would meet the ends of Justice." Berger and Oihns were arrested Fri day by Detectives Goltz and Hellyer. They confessed to knocking out John son and taking his watch. The com plainant had taken 1800 out of his pockets only a short time before the sandbagging. ASSESSOR TAKES IN $5967 June Banner Month for Tax Oollec tons and Bine Print Stales.
