A PLAN FOR TKMPtCRA SiVE.
, Mr. John Graham Brooks, recently
' connected with Harvard university, has
; contributed to the December number of
' the Forum a paper describing the work
j Inge of a singular scheme which has
i been used at Gothenburg and other
! ' towns in Sweden foY the abatement and
i , regulation of the liquor traffic. In the
1 ' avstem . there in operation the busi-
i ness of selling strong liquors has been
-; placed in control of the community, all
the profits being devoted to swelling the
.'public revenues. With the. object of.
1 placing the traffic in the-hands of those
- only who could have no motives of per-
.' aonal gain in handling it, the bartenders
are appointed from among men of trust
i worthy character and placed upon a
eaiary. The "number of saloons has
; ? been reduced and they are restricted as
to hours and the selling of liquor to
- minors, intoxicated individuals or con-
firmed drunkards.
' " , But the chief aim has been to make
the conditions such that no one would
: have a motive for pushing the sale of
i ' intoxicants any more than for making
i sales of food, tea or coffee. A great ob-
jection, of course, in thus making the
- municipality the saloon-keeper lies in
the encouragement to lighten taxes by
lncreaRing the saloon trade. To meet
this Objection the revenues have been
made to yield the tax-payer a merely
indirect interest in the way of estab
lished parks, schools and other public
improvements.
The scheme has resulted in a partial
anccesH, in that the drinking of ardent
spirits in Norway and Sweden has
greatly decreased. On the other hand,
there is a steady and alarming growth
in the imbibing of beer, which has not
been included in the experiment. The
two nations, insteud of being great
drinkers of brandy, have become great
drinkers of beer.
Mr. Brooks would like to see a fimilar
experiment tried in small American
towns where a pronounced sentiment in
favor of temperance would insure the
election of municipal officers who would
not misuse their singular powers. To
attempt, the experiment in large cities,
with their enormous liquor - revenues
and corrupt politics, would, of course,
be out of the question.
Transportation through the Sanlt Ste.
Marie canal this year amounts to 1 1 ,
241,000 tons. Every important article
of commerce shows an advance in tout..
Next Keasou's outlook lor a still larger
increase is encouraging. ' With tiie
opening up of several new ore depots and
the construction of large ore docks at
West Superior and Duluth the iron
produot of Lake Superior will increase
. at. least twenty per cent. The I u nil Hir
ing on Lake Superior also promises to
assume unusual proportions. It is ap
parent that the canal will be taxed to
its 'full extent next season and that
work on the new lock, 1,000 feet long
with twenty-one feet of water on :he
mitre sills, must be pushed to early
completion to meet the enormous de
mands of the commerce of the Lake
Superior district. This is but an inti
mation of possible developments in the
Inland Empire with an open Columbia
river.
"Spectator" in the Oregonian would
bave us believe "it is nonsense to talk
of working the state's convicts on the
roads. In six months a third of them
would escape, while the lalor performed
would not amount to enough to cover
the extra expense of guardu." Specta
tor is a little off. He is .referred to
Illinois, where convicts are successfully
worked in quarries; to several southern
states where they are employed in
mines, on public works, etc., and to our
own Oregon, where they were worked
on Portland streets, Main street plaza.
etc., etc., for years. Judging from the
tone of his article Spectator must in
some way be interested in the Salem
penitentiary "fctove contract."
We are pleased to learn that Hon. H
F. Smith, of Osooyoos lake, commonly
called Okanogan Smith, is in a fair way
to recover. His friends expect to see
him bob up serenely at Olympia when
the legislature, of which body he is a
recently elected member, meets on Jan
nary 9tb. He is a pioneer prospector,
and has stuck to Okanogan steady for
nearly a quarter -of a century. The
Madre D'Ora advances the name of Mr.
Smith as a suitable person for surveyor
General of our sister state. . ...
