TTTF, SFXDAT OREGOXTAN. POttTLANU. DECEWBER 13. 1914. 19 DRY INTERESTS FOR LIGHT PENALTIES Series of Suggestions for Pro hibition Law Sent to Leg islators for Opinions. CLUBS TO BE RESTRICTED . Kansas, West Virginia and North Dakota More Severe In Deal ing With Violators, bat Last Named Urges Iienienoy. Penalties for violation of the prohl bitlon law will not be unduly severe if Ideas outlined by the committee of one hundred are followed. Tbe committee Is' making- explicit provision, however, for the application of the law against private clubs where liquor now is sold to members. It is understood by members of the commit tee that several such clubs in Portland and elsewhere in the state are seeking" to have incorporated in the bill a clause that would exempt them from Its operation. ' "We owe it to the people of the state to expel liquor from the private clubs.' said a member of the commit tee yesterday. "If we permitted them to handle it we would be discriminating- against the poor man. It Is the rich man who belongs to the club not tbe poor man. It isn't right to allow the rich man to have his liquor and deny it to his poor neighbor." Legislators Are Determined, Members of the Legislature also in sist that they will make tbe law equal ly binding upon the private club and upon the open saloon. All forces now working for prohibi tion legislation are agreed on this point, and it is probable that when ihe bill finally goes, in Its completed form, before the Legislature it will have the unanimous support of the committee of one hundred, the Anti Saloon League and the various other individuals and organizations that are peeking- to make the prohibition amendment effective. The only point upon which the com- mittee of one hundred and the Anti Saloon League now disagree is on the prohibition against newspapers and bill boards carrying liquor advertising nfter the new law goes into effect. The Anti-Saloon League insists on this provision. The committee of one hun dred thinks it should not go into the bill. All other differences have been adjusted since the inharmonious meet ing of Friday afternoon. Orton E. Goodwin, publicity manager for the committee of one hundred, yes terday sent the following outline of proposed penalties to members of the Legislature and to other interested per sons and invited them, as well as other residents of the state, to submit sug gestions for incorporation in the law: "Any person or persons who shall violate any of the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished: Discretion Given Judge. "1. By a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500 and by imprison ment in the county jail not less than 30 days nor more than six months: pro vided that when any person shall be convicted of a violation of any of the provisions of this act. and it shall af firmatively appear that such violation is a first offense on the part of such person and that there are extenuating circumstances, the trial court may, in its discretion, remit a part or all of the Imprisonment portion of such pen altyor "2. For a first violation of the pro visions of this act, shall be. fined in any sum not less than $50 nor more than $200, or be imprisoned in the county Jail not less than 10 days nor more than 90 days, or by both such fine .and imprisonment in tbe discretion of the court. For a second or. any subse quent violation of any of tbe provi sions of this act, such person shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500, or by imprison ment in the county jail not less than 30 days nor more than 90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment in tbe discretion of the court. "3. Same as last preceding, except that for any violation subsequent to the second conviction both fine and Im prisonment shall be Imposed as a sen tence, without any discretion to the court. Other Alternatives SnrCKe.tcd. "4. Same as No. 2, except that for second and all subsequent offenses both fine and Imprisonment shall be imposed with no discretion to the court. "5. Same as No. 1, but making a third and any . subsequent offense a felony. "6. By a fine of not to exceed $500 or Imprisonment in the county jail not more than six months, or both In the discretion of the court. (In other words, is It desirable that there be no minimum but that the fixing of sen tence be left entirely to the trial judge, whether he be circuit judge, justice of the peace or otherwise?) "7. The Kansas and West Virginia penalties are more severe than any of these, including a fine of $100 to $500 and 30 to 90 days for a first offense and making the second offense a fel ony. "8. North Dakota penalties are still more severe than the foregoing. North Dakota authorities urge that Oregon apply these lighter penalties." MUSIC Y. M. C. A.

"I am firmly convinced that the new year will open with every indication for improved conditions in the mercan tile business," said Mr. Fliedner yes terday. "There is a much better feel ing in all lines now. There is a gen eral readjustment of business activity going on, and as soon as the confi dence of the people Is restored we should expect prosperous times. The financial situation in the North wsst Is strong. The only serious handicap has been the quietness of the lumber in dustry. At the close of the European war there will be a tremendous demand for our lumber products. That means that our lumber mills will be crowded with orders. This will result in a consequent activity In all lines such as we have not witnessed here in many years."
