City Club Report Blasts Arguments AGAINST LIQUOR-BY-TIIE-GLASS! For years the City Club of Portland has been noted for the thoroughness of its studies and the impartiality of its reports on candidates and political measures. A City Club report just sub mitted on the Oregon Liquor Dispensing Licens ing Act (Knox Law Improvement) while making no specific voting recommendation, completely disposes of the arguments most commonly ad vanced against this measure. Don't be fooled by the propaganda of the i prohibitionists. Here are the facts, ss reported by a City Club Committee composed of seven lead ing citizens, including a minister. Arguments Against the Bill .1 . It would Increase drinking, drunkeness and alcoholism In Oregon. The City Club report says this argument Is sn "opinion only, unfounded on provable fact!" S. The passage of this bill will lead I the return ef wide open drinking throughout the state. A further possibility Is the eventual breakdown ef the Knox Law and complete revulsion by the public who would then hasten le dry up the state through local option elections. The City Club report says this argument "is not based on fact. A careful search of the local opdon laws in the various states fails to show any correlation between the method of dispens ing liquor and any trend toward dryness." S. liquor will be consumed In public places such as restaurants and hotels which ere . fre quented by women and children. . The City Club report says "this argument is advanced by nearly all the dry forces. Its cogency depends on one's attitude toward drinking, in public or semi-public places." Actually, this argument Is downright silly. There will be plenty of restaurants to which women and children can go without being posed to drinking in public places. The argument of drinking by minors also fails to stand up. All provisions of the Knox Law covering this subject will condnue in full force. Obviously, licensed establishments, operating in the open won't dare serve minors; the risk Is too great. I. If the bill passes and If the serving ef liquor by-the-glass Is as profitable as the proponents believe It will be, tremendous political pres sure will be exerted en the Oregon liquor Control Commission for Issuing ef new licenses. The City Club report says this argument "de pends upon the profits from selling liquor by the glass under this bill, snd secondly upon the attitude and integrity of the Commission." I. The Mil b discriminatory because all establish ments which would like to serve liquor by the : drink will not be licensed. The City Club report says this srgument "is slid only depending upon one's point of view. It discriminates against the beer taverns which cannot be licensed under this bill. However, with 277 restaurants (81 in Portland) and 10! clubs (18 in Portland) being potentially eligible to hold dispensing licenses under this proposed bill, your committee feels that the general public will not be discriminated against." The City Club report clarifies the entire Issue when it says: "The proposed bill would modify the present Knox Law only to .' extent that it substitutes the dispenser's bottle for j ' of the customer's." Oregon has much to gain and nothing to lose by improving the Knox Law. Why require pur chase of a bottle? Legalize liquor by-the-glass.
