Record of Soft Drink Men
Wanted by Officials.
SYSTEM WOW INADEQUATE
Chief "Inspector Says Old Saloon
Jlethods of Keeping Track cf
Dealers Was Better."
Transformation of innocent-looking:
Soft drink emporiums into saloons,
sans swinging; doors, shaded windows
and the brass rail, where moonshine
and various drinks possessing a
"kick" are sold at higrh prices, calls
for a return to the "saloon system1
cf records in the city license bureau
according to Joe Hutchinson, chief
Jicense inspector.
In the days when Portland licensed
hundreds of saloons Questionnairres
were filled out and kept in the city
hall which gave the complete record
of every man who engaged in the
liquor business. Such records in
eluded the man's birthplace, the num
ber of years he had resided in Ore
gon, the owner of the building in
which the saloon was maintained, and
the number of times the saloon man
had been arrested, if any, and the
disposition of the cases in courts.
License Squad Inadequate,
With the passing of saloons, it was
tiot believed that this record would
be necessary, and in fact it was not
found necessary until recently, when
the city officials became troubled
with the excessive sale of liquors in
soft drink establishments.
Investigation in the license bureau
ehowed that the present force was
Inadequate to make a personal in
vestigation of every man engaged in
the business of dispensing soft drinks
In making recommendations to City
Commissioner Pier the license in
spectors have asked for changes in
the present scale of license prices,
sufficient to pay a police official who
would be detailed to the license
bureau to make investigations. The
Inspectors say the policeman could
obtain all records necessary to note
down in the books, which will prob
ably be kept in the license bureau.
Present Records SJot .Sufficient.
It has developed that recently an
application for a license for a soft
drink establishment was submitted
to the license bureau with the ap
proval of the police bureau, while
but a few days before the owner had
been cited before the council on a
hearing for the revocation of his
license.
At present -there is no system
whereby a check can be made into
the character! of the applicant, nor
can his record be known in the ma
jority of cases.
"The old system used during the
days of saloons," said License In
spector Hutchinson, "ie as essential
today as it was then. If we can
maintain records of men engaged in
the business of selling soft drinks
and investigate carefully those who
apply for licences to enter this busi
ness, we can put an end to much of
the illicit traffic in liquor carried
n in these establishments."
the pre-war period with the close of
business this week. Armour & Co.
announced today. Beef prices, the
last to be readjusted, declined to the
lowest of the year, says a statement,
which continued:
'Lower prices for livestock, which
have resulted from declines in feed
stuff and from excessive receipts of
stock, have had marked influence on
the wholesale price, resulting in a
line of prices below those that ob
tained April 1, 1917, and also below
prices that ruled in 1914.
Light pork loins soid for 21 cents,
as compared with the pre-war price
of 22 to 23 cents. Lard was of
fered at 6 cents a pound under the
price of April 1, 1917. The average
price of sweet pickled and cured pork
products was 17 cents, that being 3
cents under the price in April, 19 17.'
ROSE FESTIVAL ASSURED
PLA.XS TJXDlvR. WAI FOR 1921
WILL BE DEVELOPED.
Refusal of County to Help Finance
Fete Xot Regarded as Final
by Auxiliary Committee.
Plans for the Rose Festival will go
forward without interruption, and no
heed will be paid to the refusal of
the county commissioners to provide
$15,000 toward financing it, according
to E. J. Jaeger, chairman of the
committee which received the refusal
of the county authorities.
Members of the Rose Festival aux
iliary will go before all clubs in the
city next week and seek to get the
expression of as many persons as
possible in regard to holding the fes
tival next year.
"We are not taking the commie
sioners answer as final," said Mr.
Jaeger. -'If the people want Nthe fes
tival they will see that the county
provides the money.
Nomination of 18 persons to serve
on the Rose Festival committee for
the coming year will be made by the
nominating committee of the auxil
iary next Tuesday night. Twelve of
these will be elected at a special
meeting of the auxiliary on December
27, and active work of planning the
festival for 1921 will begin, accord
ing to Mr. Jaeger.
"The festival will not be given up,'
Mr. Jaeger said. "If the decision of
the commissioners is final we will
find other means to raise the money
But if the people want the festival,
I don't think the county can refuse
to help us."
