Why Require Purchase of a Bottle? LEGALIZE LIQUOR BY THE GLASS! Let's quit kidding ourselves! Is it sensible to encourage the purchase of unlimited quantities of liquor by-tbe-bottle and at the same time have' It illegal to purchase even so much as one drink 0f liquor by-tbe-glass? Yet that is the situation in Oregon today.,', a situation the Oregon Liquor Dispensing Licens ing Act .(31 X YES!) is designed to correct by making it legal to purchase liquor either by-tbe-bottle In state liquor stores, as at present, or . by-tbe-glass in stute-liccnsed and supervised establishments. For several months now, our state liquor stores have been holding "bargain snlcs" announcing attractive reductions in prices and encouraging the public to buy more liquor by-tbe-bottle.
