PROHIBITION
BILL
READY TO SUBMIT
Draft by Committee of One
' Hundred Has 0. K. of
Other Organizations.
PROMINENT ATTORNEY WHO AIDED IN FRAMING NEW PROHIBITION BILL.
m LOOPHOLE IS BELIEF
3leasure Not Regarded as "Blue
Liw" but "Dos" Will Only
Guarantee Kffectiveness if Left
Intact by Legislators.
A bill intended to make effective the
prohibition amendment enacted by the
people of Oregon at the November elec
tion has been drarted by the legal
committee of the Committee of. One
Hundred, assisted by representatives
of the Antt-Saloon League, the Wom
an's Christian Temperance Union, the
Prohibition party and other "dry"
workers throughout the state.
The measure will be introduced at
the forthcoming session of the Leg
islature with the recommendation that
It be passed without change or amend
ment. The "dry" forces deciare that
the measure In Its present form is
sane and effective, that it would pre
serve the spirit of the amendment
passed by the people with a majority
of more than 36.000 votes and that it
would offer no loopholes through
which the law's violators could escape
with Impunity.
The "dry" forces contend, however.
that If the Legislature changes the
measure in any particular, it cannot
guarantee its effectiveness.
Iaap.r1atioa la Permitted.
The bill Is not regarded as a "blue
law." It permits the Importation of
liquor from other states for private
consumption but does not permit it to
be sold In any form within Oregon.
The only exceptions to this latter pro
vision Is made in the case of wholesale
druggists, who may sell pure grain
alcohol to retail druzgrist for use in
preparing compounds, and retail drug
gists, who may be permitted to sell
wlue. upon order of an authorised
clergyman, for sacramental uses.
Druggists aro not permitted to sell
liquor in any other manner even
upon prescription of a physician, ac
cording to the draft, and strict prohibi
tion Is prescribed against private clubs
and hotels.
The penalties are not unusually se
vere. Enforcement of the laws is
placed in the hands of the local au
thorities in each county, but other In
terested persons may employ additional
counsel at their own expense and have
such counsel vested with the authority
of the state.
Immediately after the election, when
the "dry" victory was apparent, the
Committee of One Hundred, which had
been largely Instrumental in conduct
ing the campaign, arranged to disband.
But they were requested by at least
13 members of the Legislature to con
tinue their activities and draw up a
prohibition bill. Accordingly, they ap
pointed a committee, consisting of Ar
thur M. Churchill. H. H. Esterly, Robert
J. Brock. S. Fred Wilson and A. L. Vea
xie. This committee consulted with the
various other prohibition forces, with
George M. Brown. Attorney-General-
iect. and with members of the Legisla
ture and District Attorneys in various
parts of the state.
The Prohibition party, through J. P.
Newell, state chairman, stated yester
day that It will support the measure.
At a recent meeting members of the
l'rohibttion party voted unanimously
to take this stand.
Mrs. Jennie M. Kemp, president of
he W. C T. V.. and Mrs. Henrietta M.
Brown, vice-president-at-large, have
given the measure their personal ap
proval pending formal action by a con
vention of W. C. T. U. workers In Fort
land this week, when formal indorse
ment will be sought.
"As a whole. I like the proposed law,"
writes Mrs. Kemp. "Generally speak
ing, it seems to me that every possible
point has been covered."
The Anti-Saloon League forces In
sisted that an emergency clause be at
tached to the measure. This would
have prevented a referendum. It ts
expected, however, that the Anti-Saloon
League will consent to have the
measure go to the Legislature without
the emergency clause. Inasmuch as
the amendment does not talte effect
until January 1. 1916. It is considered
by the Committee of One Hundred that
the emergency clause Is Inadvisable. If
a referendum Is desired, a special elec
tion can be held before that date.
It Is understood that the allied "wet"
Interests are preparing to submit the
legislative action to a referendum of
the people In any event.
