The passage of this local option law
would be giving to tne resiaenca ia-
triota of the eltv and to the rural dl
trlcta an' opportunity to protect thenv
selvea agalnat the saloon e rignt tney
do , not enloy under the present laws.
deaolt the fact that remonetrators
agalnat the paaaage of th local option
law are alleging that the present law Is
- nufflolent for the people to obtain this
protection; That the present law is in
adequate ha seen demonstrated ta town
and country Tor Instance, the city
aouooU of Portland haa repeatedly com
pletety dtaregkreed the wishes of the
cttisen of precincts whf as many as
71 per cent oa, the people oppoaea ue
coming of a saloon, and haa granted a
license to such saloon. As shown by
the papers within the last few . days,
the county commissioners supported by
axiatlna laws, hare granted saioon
licenses m villages where the great ma
Jority of the people .were steadfastly
and moat firmly oppoaed to the coming
of a saloon. The existing .laws did not
provide the relief dcoired.
In connection with the light which
the Uquor Interest have already started
against the local option isaue, K is In'
tereatlnc to m to read on of their
dodgers whloh charge that eur pro
posed law is merely a prohibition law
cunningly drawn. It is my first expert
enoe at being charged by the liquor in
teres ta with resorting to methods of
trickery. As a matter of fact, lawyers
tell me the proposed law is purely and
- In every sense a local option measure
but that It is a local option law wua ne
loophole. If It contained such loop
holes -of escape for law violators, I
doubt" that the liquor Interests would
ertously contest it. A the law reads
and aa we Intended it to read. It is
purely a measure to protect the home
districts of the city and the country
against the - tan welcome encroachment
of the Dauor business. It provides
body of cltlsens with the right to say,
"We do not propose to have a gin mill
set itself down among our women and
children. There is room for such busi
ness in the city and away from the
homes."
I am pleased to not also from th
argument put up by the liquor men that
they are to urge that the passage of th
local option law would affect th labor
of many workmen, would curtail many
salaries, would reduce rents, would
affect the volume of money coming te
this cityv-W are going to contend that
the bill should be 1 approved by the
voter because the coming of a saloon
to any community haa never been known
to enhance the value of property,, and
that, on, the contrary, such saloon al
ways depreciates the value of tht prop
erty, particularly if such saloon comes
to a residence section, We have In our
reoords instances of where liquor deal
ers have fought aa individuals the
coming of saloons to their communities
on this very ground, that such saloon
would lower 'the property value. We
have a record which shows that liquor
manufacturers and wholesale . liquor
manufacturers who laid out an addition
to the city of Louisville specified In, the
deeds to the lots that a saloon Should
never b located on the property. -.
As regards the argument for and
against the law, Inside olty property be
ing considered as the point of conten
tion, I should subscribe liberally to the
fund of the local option campaign com
mittee, provided I wished to rent my
inside property for saloon purposes; or,
f trovlded I was a saloon man holding a
ong leaaa on Inside property. Under
thes conditions, and under tht knowl
edge that the drinking olaas would have
to resort more and more to the down
town saloon, I should say such a law
would be greatly to my advantage. The
owner of down-town or centrally lo
cated property In Portland need have
n fear aa to the looal option law.
I wish to also make an argument that
local option eanaot be otherwise than
beneficial to the laboring man of the
country. Evan if it put a number of
bartenders employed ' in suburban and
raral saloons oat of business, th law
could not do otherwise than benefit the
working man in general, Wa have a
statistical argument showing the money
that th laboring man reoelve from the
manufacture of each il9 worth, of
goods sold as compared to the money
received from th manufacture and salt
of each 10 worth of liquor by the
laboring man, a table that la aa fol

. If,th proposed local option law really
proviaea xor local option, th liquor In
terests or this state would be glad to
support it. As a matter of faot, how
ever, the. Jaw; which h to be submitted
to a popular vote in June la merely a
permit to enable the prohibitionist to
noia promotion elections in - every
county and preclflct in ' Oregon . next
November. It also provides that they
may hold more prohibition elections in
any county r precinct' ia June, l0
and in June of every year thereafter.
The turmoil and expenses which
would result from the operation of anj
such law cannot be well described within
the limits of a newspaper.
The opposition to th local option law
which exists In business and commer
cial circles arises largely from - th
faot that th operation of similar laws
has invariably checked the growth and
killed the prosperity of those statee
which have been unfortunate enough to
experiment with them in the past
According to the United States cen
sus reports only three states of the
Lnlon ever suffered a decrease la popu
lation, on, ol these. was Nevada, whose
lack of growth was due to the exhaus
tion of her mints, and the other to
were prohibition states Maine and New
Hampshire. Their loss occurred during
a decade-of prohibition agitation. .
, The law whloh the prohibitionists
propose to foist upon the people of
Oregon next June Is based upon a law
which waa recently adopted in Texas.
Owing to It flagrantly unfair and fan
atical provisions Its operation has al
ready resulted In placing more than
two-thirds of the Texas counties under
prohibition rule, and the communities
there who voted blindly for the law
without understanding Its dangerous
nature, are now crying loudly for relief.
An amusing result of Its operation
there has been th establishment In ev
ery town of numerous drug ' stores,
whloh sell nothing but patent medicines
and liquor.

PLEDGED, IF SHERIFF,
NOT TO BREAK LAW
Thomas H Word, Democratic Nominee on Novel
Platfoiiii-How Past Sheriffs Have Violated
Order to Gwft - "
,; '.C
in
Thomas M. ; Word, the ' Democratic
nominee for sheriff, is making his cam
paign ypon a platform -which ha tho
merit of decided novelty among aspi
rants for the office which he is seeking.
Word says that If he is elected sheriff
he will b content with the salary aa hi
sola compensation, and that all other
perquisites of the omc will be turned
Into th county treasury. ;
1 want nothing but the salary, 11
am. elected." aald Word. In denning his
policy. "I don't propos to make a dol
lar out of th office in any other way.
The law declares that the sheriff, shall
receive no compensation except nie sai
arv- and I intend vo eompiy wiin 11
atrlctlv" - -' ' : '
The sheriff's office had been regarded
in the naat as the most lucrative posi
tion in the county government The
amlarv amounts to 14.500. but Ulls it
but a part and probably a minor part, of
the emoluments of tne omoe.
The sheriffs sources ot income nave
ha n several. ' For years it has been
customary for-the sheriff to appropriate
to his own ase the fees for service of
nrocess sent to him from otner counties.
The practice has been followed by one
Incumbent of tne omoe rter anouer.
until it haa oome to be looked upon aa a
matter of course. - But it 1 clean y il
legal. The law directs that the sheriff
shall pay over to the county treasurer
all fee which be collect ano inai m
nie oomnensatlon shall be hi salary.
Word aaya that if he la elected he will
pay over to the county every dollar l
feea wnicn ne receives.
Btlll more profitable to tne snerm nss
been the rake-off on legal advertising
which nasses through the office. The
law requires th sheriff to publish no
tices of attachments, executions, sheriffs'
sales, etc., the expense falling upon the
litigant and being taxed as costs. If
the litigant were left free to publish ths
notice where he could get it don at the
most reasonable rates, or if the sheriff
let the printing upon competitive bid.
the cost would not be excessive. But it
has been customary for the sheriff to
enter into a secret agreement with the
owners of one or more weekly paper
whereby they agree to pay over to blm a
percentage of their receipts ; from the
teiai unniuni wuicn ne eenua iuwu.
To cover this "side graft" and to en
hanoe their own profits, these publishers
make exorbitant chargea for the print
Ing srhlch they do, and the unfortunate
litigant Is compelled to pay three or
four times aa much as hs would do If
th notices were printed at the rates
charged by regular newspapers. A no
tice which could be printed In any dally
newspaper for II or 4 costs from II
to 111
Ths publisher of the weekly papers
that are profiting from this bargain with
the sheriff make the pretense that their
rates are the am. per Inch, ss the rates
oharged by. the dally papers. Nominally
thta may be true, but the legal notice
which they print are so heavily leaded
and so liberally spaced that matter
which would ordinarily occupy only an
Inch Is spread over three or four Inches.
Every attorney in the county has hsd
occasion to complain of the exorbitant
charges thus made for printing legal no
tice, and it has become a serious bur
den upon lltlganta. . It th sheriff war
making no effort to get a rake-off out of
the bualne, all of this printing could
be done upon a competitive basis.
Word w akd whether he proposed
to allow this abuse to continue, in the
vent of his election.
"Most emphatically not," he replied.
It I am elected attorneys and litigants
will be free to have their legal notlo
printed where they see fit I mean to
put everything of that kind On a bul
ness like bails and ther will be no
graft la it if I can help It I don't want
to make a dollar out of the fees oa out

tice or snythlng else except the salary

In accordance with the petition of L
Kim Ark, one of th wealthiest whole
sale merchants in the Chinese quarter,
Presiding Judge Oeorge issued an order
yesterday in the circuit court ap
pointing Attorney John F. Igaa re
ceiver for the Quong Sang Wa Co., whoe
business la worth a large sum. It Is con
ducted at No. 142 Second street The
company. It Is claimed, has oonducted
business netting 140,000 a year.
Strong allegations are mad In tht
complaint, whloh Is accompanied by an
affidavit, filed against Le Chuck Won,
Lee Tal Hoy and Lee Hong Ping, who
with Ark are partners In the business.
It Is claimed that Ark waa recently
ousted without due process of law and
prlved their families of that much sub-1 saloon, th owners of personal and real Lee Sing Shu placed In ae manager on
stahtlal comfort; will have imperiled
their Jobs, and will hav wasted th
money they earned. They will have
atvan the money to a business that sup-
plle nothing that la necessary to the
welfare -of mankind! to- a business 4hat
has no standing, and that is permitted
to run by sufferance of the govern
ment, after the government naa col
lected Its heavy annual fine in th form
of license feea.
These are a few or tne arguments
why the local option measure snouio
pass at the coming election.

But the commands of ths boss fell on

In Portland alone the saloons paid to
in city ii40,ueo last year. The liquor
mtereats paid last year to the United
Statee government 1230,000,000, while
the total revenue of the government in
the same year waa only $660,000,000.
Our friends the Prohibitionists are
very ready to insist upon prohibitory
and. fanatical laws, but so far none of
them hav com forward to show us
where Portland would get the 1140,000
If the saloons were cut off, nor where
the federal government would receive
the 1280,000,000 If the liquor traffic were
prohibited in the country at large.
The flagrant Injustice of the proposed
law is another matter which might well
arouse some feeling on the subject It
provides that oven if any county's vote
is against prohibition, any precinct that
haa east a majority for prohibition
hall b declared prohibition territory.
But It does not work the other way. If
nectmen of the turtle family had a
back as round as halt of a ball. The any county votes for prohibition, it does
salamanders war as fine specimens of not matter whether any precinct in it
this species of the Ussard family as
can be found anywhere. Each , waa
probably two feet in length, and across
the top of Its ugly, broad, flat head
measured four or five Inches. The cap
tain picked up th salamanders to show
women Visitors the four feet of each
animal. All ware taken to the city park.
In addition- to the animals taken to
the park yesterday, preliminary to their
first exhibition to the public today, tne
park' commissioners are dickering for
seven Shlka Japan deer, two oamalS,
one beautlxul pair of Japaness storks,
one porcupine, and ton cashmere goat
all bought by th captain of the ship on
his last voyage to th orient All of
the animal will be taken to the park
and stored by Tuesday, even If they are
not bought outright It Is said the price
asked for the tlser. which is an spe

The law provides in Its first section
that a prohibition election may be held
In any county or precinct whenever a pe
tition signed by 10 per Cent of the Voters
is filed with the county clerk. It Is un
reasonable to ask a county to assume
the expense of a prohibition election
merely because one man in every ten;
wants It People are always ready to
sign petitions.
W believe that the state of Oregon
has at present all the liquor legislation
that Is necessary reasonable, advisable
or Just, and that It has already an ef
fective local-Option law outside the in
corporated cities.
We believe that the proposed law Is
deceitful In ita nature and in its name,
and that it was prepared by the Prohi
bitionists with a view of obtaining by
stealth what could not be obtained in
any other way. The liquor Interests
have never opposed reasonable legisla
tion I they have never opposed a reason
able tax. But they do feel that this
local-option law Is' a matter which is ab
solutely unfair and unjust, and which
affects not only the liquor interests, but
every commercial interest, industry, la
bor union, property-owner, employe and
taxpayer in the state of Oregon.
i The passage of the proposed local-op
tion law would throw out of employment
more than 16,000 men In this state. In
Portland alone there are nearly 1,000
men Who are directly employed by the
liquor Interest. The monty spent by

a good part of this money cannot be
