On train and News Stands S centa : S ; Liquor Control 5 ANOTHER of the hot fights in the coming legislative session will be over whether hotel and restaurants will be permitted to sell hard liquors with meals or not. The Knox commission limited such sales to wines, etc., of not ta exceed 14 per cent alcohol. Two members of the com mission: Sen. Upton and Rep. Beckman, stood out for un limited sale by hotels and restaurants -'with meals". Their protest is that unless such sales are permitted people will take spirits to their rooms for consumption, or that speak easies will continue to flourish. The majority report expressed the fear that a revival of selling spirits by the glass would lead to grave abuses which might bring a return to "the deplorable evils of pro hibition". It said : "Yonr committee holdf , to the belief that the people . of this state are unalterably opposed to the return of the r"".aloon in any form. It does net feel .that by merely sub stituting the words 'dining room' for 'barroom' the public mind would be successfully hoodwinked. ... It is difficult to conceive that hotels an restaurants, if permitted to sell ' hard liquor to patrons, would adhere in any substantial manner to the "with meals only provision. What would really happen is that hard liquor would be served in din- -" ing rooms with meals and in other rooms without meats. It was argued by some that the plan proposed would en courage the continued operation of speakeasies. We hold I V-this objection invalid on the grounds that when people are again permitted to gather and legally enjoy the public consumption of wines and beers of guaranteed purity, few will seek the'sordid atmosphere behind closed doors where - liquor - of questionable purity Is jserved and the constant danger of arrests impends." : The Rockefeller commission recommended only the sale of natural wines by the glass in hotels and restaurants, with meals, with spirits to be sold in the original package by state stores. It recognized however that in some cities like New York and Chicago the demand for public sale of hard liquor for on-premises consumption may be irresistible and made suggestions as to an alternate method of creating an agency of the hotel or restaurant and permitting sale there under restraint. : That the battle of the hotel and restaurant -people for 1 right to sell spirits iy the .glass will be vigorous in the leg telature is recognized. Dr. Ralph A. Fenton cf Portland, a member of the Knox committee, said in a recent address : ' "More money Is In sight right now for this short session . af'the legislature than for any regular session." Yes, it looks like an "old-time" session, with high-power-til lobbyists. The stakes are high, for the profits in the liquor trade have always been enormous. Debt and the Constitution THE GOV. MEIER plan of taking care of the destitute by a huge loan from the federal public works adminis tration for road construction, meets a snag in language of .the state constitution which limits Toad indebtedness to 4 per cent of the assessed valuation, which is now approximate ly $959,000,000. The limit of indebtedness is thus, for road (purposes, $38,360,000. About $28,000,000 remains outstand ing in road bonds. This leaves a margin of only $10,000,000 ; ,but the highway commission, under spur from the governor, - proposes to increase the road debt through borrowing from ; the federal government by roughly $15,000,000. ; Here is section 7 of article 11 : Article XI, section 7. "The legislative, assembly shall not lend the credit of the state nor In an$ manner create any debt f liabilities which shall singly or in the aggregate with ; previous debts or liabilities exceed the sum of $50,000, ex ; ; ' ,. cept in ease of war or to repel invasion or suppress insurrec 1 Uon or to build and maintain permanent roads; and the leg islative assembly shall not lend the credit of the state nor in any manner create any debts or liabilities to build and main . ;i " tain permanent roads which shall singly or in the aggregate With previous debts or liabilities .incurred for that purpose exceed 4 per cent of the assessed valuation of all the prop- erty of the stare; and every contract or indebtedness eu V tered into or assumed by or on behalf of the state in viola- . tion of the provisions of this section shall be .void and of no effect." Also, in view of the language of the constitution how is the state going to be able to borrow money for buildings at the state institutions, a library at the university, hospitals in Portland, etc.? Is this "to be another case of "what's the -constitution between friends?" Or will this state follow the ; Washington supreme court, in one oftthe most absurd de ! clsions ever recorded, where it approved a legislative act for a bond issue on the ground that it was needed to "suppress insurrection 7 it The Clutcber Clutched : ,' : ........

TU tell you about that later. Horn; but don't you worry. And TO fee4 back for Christmas and maybe stay awhile. How's that? Okay?" "Anything you say, Tom.'' They went inside. "How's every body?" Tom asked. "They're all just fine; we didnt expect you in until later and they thought they'd see you at supperJ Now let's see. We've got a chicken in the oven but it isn't ready; bow about tome bam and egg and cof fee and fried potatoes?" "Lady." answered Jack Devere, "yon talk like an angel from heav en, you do. Cousin Emmy almost screamed; sbe doubled half over, she was langhing so bard. "Too said it ju3t like that In that Western what was it now? Oh yes The Rocky Road to Gallup'." "Come on. Emmy," Mom said. She could see Tommy didn't like the way Cousin Emmy was carry ing on but Jack Devere didn't seem to mind. He seemed real nice. Mom was sorry Pop and Pete weren't there; she thought thcyd like him real well. Cousin Emmy had to drag herself oat to the kitchen. "Ain't he a card?" she asked Mom Uncle Louie came in. He was pretending he didn't see the boy and had his head down and was go ing right up the steps and to his room. Mora wished be would but Cousin Emmy called: "Hey, Louie don't you see Tommy and Jack Devere?" Uncle Louie turned pretty quick. Mom thought, and shook hands with Tommy without smiling and then turned to Jack Devere and said: "I suppose you're one of them movie actors?" Cousin Emmy was astounded. Dont-teIl me you don recognise Jack Devere 7" "Never heard of faim." Jack Devere winked at Tom, who was getting mad and so was Mom at the idea of the old good-for-nothing being so uncivil; but Jack said: "I've heard of you, though You're the postmaster, aren't you?" Uncle Louie didn't say be was but he didn't say he wasn't. "Whose automobUe is that?" "Mine," said Jack Devere. Td think you could find some thing 'else' to do with your money with so many people starring. Uncle Louie said. Then ,he turned and put his head down and went upstairs. Tom was looking after urn and bis face waa getting red and bis jaw tight. Mom hurried in and said to Jack Devere: "Don't pay any attention to him he has stomach trouble. Jack Devere patted her arm. "Dont you worry about me, now, Mom. I've .got a grandpa just like him." , , "He's aa old crab." Cousin Em my yaued op' the stairs. Uncle Lottie slammed bis door. Moa went back to the store. The doorbell rang and Cousin Emmy ran to open it. Mom could bars fallen down flat when she beard Florrie Johnson's r o i e s t "Mom sent me- over with this jar of preserves," sbe said. Mom didnt know just what to do. The Idea of a thing like Florrie Johnson, who could smell a man a mile off. baring the rail to try to come ta where she knew she waant welcome. Una started for the door, afraid Cousin Emmy was roinr to ask Hozxte to why wssnt aba . JaWaef-lrfw',,'lWLw'PBI "Watch me drive this boat down the main drag," said Tommy to Mom v. as he and Jack Devere, movie idol, bopped late the swell car working, anyhow? Probably got good and sick with too much to drink last- night As Mom went to the door she saw Tommy shaking his head and frowning and putting both thumbs down and she was thankful he bad that much sense. So Mom put on a nice face and got in front of Cousin Emmy who knew how Mom felt about Florne and the tikes of her, but didn't know just what to do. "Thanks, Florrie," she said, "go back and tell your mother it was real nice of her. Tommy is resting now." Florrie was trying to edge in, the bold thing, but Mom waa too cute for her. She lowered her voice to a whisper: "I don't want to wake him op." . Florrie whispered, too: "Who was H come with him, Mis' Ran dolph?" Cousin Emmy eouldnt stay still any longer and she whispered, too it was funny to hear Cousin Em my whisper: "It's Jack Devere and if he isn't a scream l" Mom bad to practically abut the door in Florrie s face; but when she finally got it closed she looked out through the curtains and saw every door along the street was open. Including Florrie's mother's. Maybef that would . let- them all know that they weren't going to coma sneaking over on an excuse like thatand she bet it would be a long time before Florrie Johnson ever tried to pot her foot Inside that door again. . Florrie stood outside examining the car. Tommy said to Mom, "Nice going. Mom." Jack Devere was smilinr. Well, Florrie Johnson want go ing to ret her bands on these two. Moa wens back to the kitchen. Florrie was atUl parading along the sidewalk trying to look in the window. . Then, almost before Mont Jmew It, the boys were leaving. "Watch me drive this boat down the main drag," Tommy told his mother, "Tve always wanted to coma back bete with a car like this. . Ha vent off, roaring and waring.
