DESTROY TH E INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS OF OREGON? what the so-called “ Water Front” umbers 328 and 330 on the ballot, o if passed at at the November ion. ' saloons employed sixty-five men, the restaurant:, twenty-five. Together they had a payroll of 35,700 per month. Practically all those who conducted B&loons and those employed by the saloons and res taurants have left town. All the buildings occupied a year ago by saloons are vacant, except six that have been occupied by tenants who left another building vacant, moving only to better their location. Several of the best buildings in town have their windows boarded up to serve as billboards. There are now more than five hundred modern dwellings for rent in Salem. Rental returns have greatly depreciated. Store property on State Street, which for five years had rented for $185 per month, was re-leased within four months after the city went "dry" for two years at the rate of $110 per month. This is but a fair samplo of the reduction all through the business section on property that was up for rc-leasing or renting since tho city went “ dry." BUSINESS UNBEARABLE. Every merchant In towp, except one— a radical ProhL,‘ has complained of the poor business done this year, and in order to keep going have dispensed with all their surplus help, thus throwing a good many clerks out of their regular monthly stipend. Many of these have now left Salem, seeking work some place else. Three shoe stores have been closed, two by the sheriff and one voluntarily. One of the largest dry goods stores has been sued for the first time in its twenty years' existence. Salem has been the closing of fourteen places of business, other than saloons, since the first of January, 1914. Does this look like big improvement? Now I will show you how Mr. Lockhart fixed up his prohibition article. The $20,000 public market building had the roof on before the town went dry. The only work that has been done on tho building this year was the lathing of the first story and the plastering of one room, which is now occupied by four stalls, constituting the public market. The $40,000 insurance block Is being built by Geo. F. Rodgers under a permit which gives the estimated valuation at $30,000. and for which the contract was less for less than $13,000. BUILDING DURING DRV PERIOD. Compare these facts with Mr. Lockhart’s state ment: For the last wet year the building permits from January to August, Inclusive, totaled $388,925, and from the first of November, 1913, to the twentieth day of September, 1914, $268,160. I start with November first in order to show some real prohibi tion facts. During tho campaign of 1913 J. G. Vo- get, a howling prohibitionist, published a statement that if the town went dry he would build sixteen new houses. So immediately after the election in November. 1913, he procured from the City Recorder sixteen permits, and under those sixteen permits ho began the construction of nine houses of three and four rooms each. Only two were completed far enough to receive the windows and doors, and they have never been finished. No work of any kind has been done on these frames since last December. I met Mr. Lockhart last Saturday night In Mr. Bechtel's real estate office, whom he was trying to Induce to give him an exaggerated statement as to bring Don’ t you DEALERS — - —-- —-j------ ~ .-— T-—. i.'.jq“ g 1 «g.'»jgfirr __ i_________________________ i One has but to taste “ OLD MASTER” Coffee once, proper-J ly brewed, to recognize its dis-j tinctive character and to become its devoted admirer and friend thereafter.

If these so-called “ W ater Front” bills are passed by the people, a vast amount of property will be withdrawn from taxation in this state and this great burden will be thrown upon the re3t of the taxable property, resulting in a heavy increase in everybody’s taxes.

Il*y or other OREGON COM MERCIAL PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION DILUS GITY BANK Dallas, Oregon. Teacher of HOP GRO W ERS AN D NEW TO-DAY I t CHERRY FAIR AND WHO SLIDE IT. During the campaign of 1913 a statement was published, purporting to come from the Ministerial Association, to the effect that if the people would vote dry they would establish a coffee club for those who could not afford to belong to the llllhee. Elks or Moose, and that the churches would finance the Cherry Fair to the extent of the usual support from the saloons. The Board of Trade, which had al ways conducted the Cherry Fair, being unable to ob tain any aid from the Ministerial Association, re fused to go on with the Fair. The Cherrian6, an organ ization of 100 (no prohibitionists), rather than sea a year pass without a Cherry Fair, became the spon sors. Each member gave a week of his time and $5 in money In order to have a Fair. The attend ance was about one-half what It was in 1913. Not a concession took in enough to pay expenses. You can take It from one who knows, the Cherrlans w.il never again finance a Cherry Fair. DECREASE" BANK DEPOSITS. The amount of deposits in Salem banks shows a decrease of $309,942.69 since the town went dr.’, and this in spite of the fact that $485,000 receivel for bonds sold in Boston was on deposit in the banks in January, 1914, statement. This money was distributed to Salem people and left here. It was UBed to pay a refund on Bewer assessments and to cover warrants outstanding. NO WAGES TO GO. A leading schoolman told me that he did not know how the children would be equipped this year, but that he expected many of them would have to be aided with books, owing to the fact that so many parents have been unable to secure work this sum mer. The contractor mentioned by Mr. Lockhart I have been unable to find. A prominent— but why continue? Tho list could be extended Indefinitely. I hnvo shown enough to thoije * >o will see. Clar ence True Wilson is reported '*^Jv5xeaid in a pro hibition speech that Salem las. ,/ea r hVd sixteen po licemen and this year has only one. Common sense would* tell anyone this statement was faise. JuBt remember that It 1s the hypocrite, "tho wolf In sheep’s clothing,” that always gets your goat. I regret very much tho necessity of malting public to the world the business condition of Salem, be cause I expect to live here for several years to cotno, but with the hopo that others may be saved I cast the city’s future a sacrifice upon the altar of the State of Oregon. to vote to kill the Hop Industry, these conditions? that times are hard enough now? Are you Bars— W hy cripple the developement of our great timber resources; why cripple all futuie manufacturing in Oregon? That’s what will take place if the peoplevote “yes” on numbers 328 and 3 3 0 W hy lock up thousands of acres of over-flow lands bordering nponthe nav igable waters of the State and its miles of water front for “future generations;” why not let the present generation have some of the benefit from the use of these lands? Industries of all kinds will be driven from Oregon and intending investors will turn their backs upon the State if these so-called “Water Front” bills be come laws. That is why every man, woman and child in Oregon will be adverse ly affected if these bills are passed by the people in November. I business in real estate, and I asked him if he had deliberately lied about the bnildlng permits, and be said the boy who had given him the figures had made a mistake, and in his Statemnn Sunday morning he makes a statement that the figures of $415,085 In his article published in the Statesman August 23 should have been $219,160, He found his mistake mighty quick after he knew I had a check on the building permits. C. . . .I,-.'..GY flu....A STOPPED. The $9,000 fire engine was purchased early in 1913, after the money had been appropriated by the City Council In 1912. The Capital Journal, the even ing paper, changed Its location and Installed a new press, the Statesman is in the same old quarters, and the only new things it has are a telegraph oper ator and some type metal. One new chnrch, costing $500, has been built since the town went dry. The Capital Business College is at the old stand, while Willamette University is still looking forward to "the greatest year in her history." Let it be noted that the enrollment at the grammar schools opening day 1913 was 1510, and for the same day this year 14 69. It would seem that closing the door of the saloons meant closing the door of the schools. (PAID AnVrUTlSFMKNT.
