Ministers and Liquor Dealers Join?
Hands in Useless Attempt to Keep
Another Beer Parlor From Opening
SILVERTON. Oct. 20. Silver-
ton's ministerial society and the
Silverton retail liquor dealers vir
tually joined hands in a losing bat
tle at a. special meeting of the city
council Monday night. The council
meeting was called to discuss the
recommendation for an additional
beer license in the city. The pur
pose, each for its own reason, of
the two organizations was to keep
the council from granting the ad
ditional recommendation for a li
cense, i !
Mayor E. "W. Garver, who open
ed the meeting expressed disap
proval of the habit of applicants
for liquor licenses to approach the
councilmen individually before
council meetings and obtain their
signatures to the application. This
practice put the councilmen on
the spot", said the mayor.
This method has been followed
at Silverton for sometime. Mayor
Garver also expressed the opinion
that Silverton already had suffi
cient liquor dispensaries within
its boundaries.

grandfather opened the Bentson
store at Silverton, and whose fa
ther is the present manager, was

mendation. . t
Council Grants Request
W. L. McGinnis, councilman,
expressed the opinion that inas
much as the application had been
signed by the councilmen as in
dividuals they could hardly re
fute their own signatures, and
made a motion that the applica
tion be granted. The motion was
passed and was followed by anoth
er motion, also passed, that no in
crease of the present number of
liquor dispensaries including the
newly granted recommendation
be made in the city.
All of those speaking at the
meeting were firm in their expres
sion that there was no objection
to Mr. Bentson. The only objection
was to the number of liquor stores
in Silverton. These now number
10.

Portland, Orison
October 21 1936.
To the Voters of ISarion Countyt
Neither the State nor Marion County can go into the business of dis
tributing electrio energy without raising large sums for capital investment, 5
To supply transmission lines, distribution lines, transfonning equipnient and
standby serrlee will require the investment of millions of dollars This will
be true whether the. existing lines jand equipment of private companies are ac
quired or new lines and equipment are constructed and purchased
The proposed state measure and the district act provide for the issuance
of State and District bonds to enable the State or the District to make such
capital investment. There is ho other certain means by which the initial capital
could be raised to enable the State or District to make these initial investments
It is urged that revenue certificates secured by the revenues of operation
may be sold to raise money for initial plant investment but, in an experiment of
this kind, it is extremely doubtful if any market' can be found for the sale of
revenue certificates which are only secured by the revenue from a prospective plant
which has no record of operation and which will be subject to the waste of political
control and management
The State measure provides that general obligations of the State for such
purposes may be issued upon a vote of the people to the extent of 2 of the
assessed valuation of the State, or in the amount of 18,000,000.00. The District
Act provides that Marion County, as a People's Utility District, may issue, upon a
vote of the people, general obligation-bonds for said purposes to the extent of
10 of the assessed valuation of the District In other words, the; passage of th
two pending measures would sub jeot every piece of property in Marion County to a
possible mortgage of 12 of the assessed valuation thereof.
The irrigation distriots and the port districts of Oregon are good example
of the honest enthusiasm of the promoters of those municipalities . Today we find
that many of the irrigation districts are bankrupt, with bonds defaulted, and both
port and irrigation districts are saddled with an indebtedness for the interest and
principal of said bonds which can only be paid by direct taxation of the resident
of those districts - , . y-: '
Unless we put the brakes on this bond and tax orgy, the answer will be
found in the bankruptcy of our mmioipal communities
In my letter next week I will discuss municipal ownership
Tery truly yours.
