"Prior to the- enactment of tne elgheenth amendment and other prohibition laws, corporations and other organisations employing , large numbers ot men found It necessary to promulgate and en force rules of discipline with re gard to the drinking of alcoholic liquors. Now that the restrictions of the prohibition laVs have been removed, the same condi tions which make smeh rules of discipline necessary again obtain." The order continued: There shall be no- drlpklng- ot alcoholic liquor at any time, ttm effects ot which are apparent or detectable during working hours. There shall be no drunkenness and no public display of Intem perance or excessive drinking. No employe shall at any time. or for any cause conduct himself in a manner unbecoming a gentle man or in manner which will reflect discredit on the state high way department. A. Ttunugn vi , may ,i iuea rules will result in immediate dis missal. "Employes of the state highway department are public I servants, and as such are subject to a more critical judgment than are others not so employed," the order con tinued. "They are also charged with the maintenance of the high- " way system and the erection ot signs and safety devices for the protection of the traveling pub lic. ' "It is especially necessary, therefore, tor employes ot this department to avoid any use ot liquor tor which either they or the highway department can be criticised." Tl StEEPLWD PORTLAND, Jan. 2. (JP) Nam- ing temporary, agents to retail hard liquor pending operation of state liquor stores was considered by the Oregon liquor control com mission here today. This plan was urged to bring immediate revenue to the state from sale of liquor and to Insure more rigid control At present hard lfquor is being sold by vari ous retailers pending establish ment of the state stores. Selection of a liquor administra tor was deterred pending inter views with more candidates. Constitutionality of the state liquor law has been attacked in a pending suit. This was believed another reason the commission wished to defer investing state money In liquor supplies. Under a temporary city of Port land ordinance, hundreds of appli cations tor hard liquor dispensing permits were filed here today by retail merchants. All applications must be approved by the city council. 5 of your favorite stars in one picture! All Salem Will Enjoy This Entertain- ! : ' e'.: fjnns. luciuora Conrad Nagel : Roland Yonnff - t sm Wm.
