SEALED VERDICT IN
Home Ruls .Association Sub
mits Recommendations to
Council Members. -
- Attorneys of the Home Rule associa
tion. Instead of presenting a .model U-.
cense plan to the'- city council, have
made a. number of recommendations,
with, the ' suggestion that . the council
men frame , an ordinance including the
points presented.,; The recommendations
of tho association are as follows: . .
"First To prohibit absolutely the
sale of intoxicating beverages to minors,
and to prohibit minors f rom. frefjuenting
the licensed places where such bever-
To carry out the above provisions
we suggest that in addition to the pres
ent: ordinances governing this, subject
there be an ordinance which will pun
ish rnin'ora iwho frequent .such licensed
places where.,suct beverages are sold, or
who Induce, ihi , saloookeeper-tw;: soil to
them. , . ,'i 1 4 ':"...,,. v
"Second To prohibit the sale of in
toxicating beverages to habitual drunk
ards and to persons intoxicated. ,
:'f,;:lrTi Babitnal 9raskaxds. - , 'v
' To 'carry this into effect and tn addi
tion ' to the ordinances at present tn
force in this city, we would suggest
that the ordinarfce further provide that
a notification to any licensed saloon
keeper by the wife that her husband is
an - habitual drunkard and for the sa
loonkeeper not to sell any Intoxicating?
liquor to him, shall be sufficient notice
to the saloonkeeper ,to desist from such,
Bale, and a violation by the saioonkeep-r
er: after such notice shall be subject to
flrie and be an offense against tbo li
cense. And further," that the law be
amended so ,'i' that upon the application
for a license the saloonkeeper shall give
a good and sufficient bond with atleast
two sureties' who- shall tod freeholders,
to pay any damage that, might accrue
to an Intoxicated person' to ' whom he
sells liquor whl in the; state of Intox
ication, . ; V" " ; I . ,--'"
"Third To prohibit women from vis
iting or frequenting places licensed to
sell intoxicating beverages, except where
fiuch beverages' are. sold with bona fide
meals in k legitimate restaurant, grill
or hotel. ' i '
'The present ordinances, W enforced,
seem to us to cover fully this provision.

places, ' -''.,;,J -; .. . ; ir.
"The .present ordlnancws provide that
a saloonkeeper.ahall not allow loafers or

would snggesVthat th power be giyen
to tn saloonkeeper or anyone fn charge
of the saloon to eject 'subh, loafers or
vagrants,-, using "only necessary v force
without being guilty of a 'misdemeanor.
"Fifth To proscribe rensonble hours
for the opening and . closing in each
secnlar day of all each licensed places.
Prinks f or Tbaatre Goers.
"In respect to this and in view of
tho cosmopolitan character, of 'our dty
and' the desire of many theatre parties
.to attend suppers i after the close of a
"perfotmanca, w would suggest for the
reper that a reasonable time for clos
ing such licensed places upoa secular
daya of the week would be from 1
o'clock a, m. to 5 -o'clock a. m. r
"Sixth TO prohibit all licensed places
from opening or keeping open or selling
intoxicating beverasres on the first dav
of the week commonly called Sunday.
In regard to this, the state law al
ready provides, for the keeping closed
of all saloons on Sunday, but we would
suggest that the city w also pass this
ordinance closing saloons , from 12
o'clock Saturday night until t o'clock
a. m. Monday morning.
"Seventh To prohibit manufacturers.
wholesalers and jobbers of 'intoxicants
from selling Intoxicating beverages to
minors. i
t . "As these dealers do not sell liquor
to Da . consumed ' on the premises, a
stringent ordinance should provide that
where the dealers do not sell In whole
sale to b4 shipped, but sell for delivery,
the goods shall not be delivered to a
minor' under any -circumstances.-"
"Kighth To prohibit . gambling in
such licensed places. .
"While the present ordinances pron
vide lno gambling shall be allowed at
all in licensed places, ft seems to us.
to avbld any question, that the ordi
nance should go a step further and have
a provision that no dice or cards ehou'd
be vised in such places ' even for play
ing for drinks or Cigars., 1
Humber of Uosnses.
"Ninth- The number of licenses now
in force in the city of Portland shall not
be increased until such time aa 'tho
population shall Increase to bear the
proportion of one license to each 750
of population. t -
"As the present ordinance now " pro
vides one license -for each -600, and the
city nas already issued its full Quota.
according to . the census of 1910, It is
plain thPt under the proportion o one
to eaen too or population, no more 11
cerses can be issued in Portland for
many years' to come, .

or attempts to purchase intoxicants in
licensed places on -Sunday) or In the
hours in which snch licensed places are
required to.be kept closed, equally guilty

'This provision speaks for itself, and
If embodied in an ordinance, would be
very effective, in keeping- saloons closed
on Sundays. """ , '. ' . ",',',."-
"We would" ftlso respectfully . recom-
mena, aitnougn at the time of .formu

"At the same tlme that? we made the
roregoing declaration of principles con
earning the liquor traffic, wa promul
gated a plan by. which the traffic in in
toxlcating liquors should be fdrever di
vorced from .politics, and to carry out
that plan we then suggested that the
power to grant licenses be vested In the
Judges of the circuit courts of our state
or by a commission to be elected by the
people, and therein further set forth
in what regard' and" by what method
most effectively bring about such a re
suit. -

a method would be most effective and
are still hnavtlly in favor thereof. Rec

IMPflRTM QUESTION
' Special Dtapatrb to The JaarsaL)
Oregon City, ' Nov.' 2. One of the
most important questions ever sub
mitted to the voters of Oregon City is
that of a tax levy for the support of
the public library. The ordinance is re
ferred by the city council.
The public library . everywhere has
corao to be recognized not asa luxury,
but as one of the. necessaries, of life.
The reading : room opened here a year
ago has served a goooy purpose In sup
plying the public with the .best cur
rent , literatuie- as wll as a cheerful
place in which tv read.'-s.-;-4',.-.;vi-n
Oregon City needs the reading room.
It also needs In connection with it a
circulating library. rhe only way that
an Institution of this kind can be prop
erly carried on is by public maintenance
under the city's direction. What bene
fits all the people should be paid for
by all the people. If Oregon City is to
keep abreast of other cities of her class
she must have a public library.
The Oregon City Library association
has a good equipment of library furni
ture and 700 books on the shelves. This
Is a good start for a library. The tax
Is Insignificant, v No Otner one thing
would make the. town so attractive 'to
the class of people, we want fos resi
dents and neighbors. :. ., . - '
