Anti-Saloon League Wins Praise
On the evening of Sept. 6th, at
the 4th Quarterly conference of
the M. E. church in Estacada, a
motion was unanimously adopted
commending the An t i - S a l o o n
League for its active fight for law
enforcement and home protection.
Attention was called to the work
of the League’s attorney, who
spoke in several churches in and
near Estacada on Aug. 20. Mr.
Baker had been especially careful
to inform his audiences with re­
gard to the Brewery Beer Amend­
ment on which we must vote in
November.
This is the amendment.
‘‘ p r o p o s e d b r e w e r y
BEER AMENDMENT
Section 36. From and after
January 1, 1916, no intoxicating
liquors shall be manufactured or
sold within this state except for
medicinal purposes, u p o n pre­
scription of a licensed physician,
or for scientific, or sacramental
purposes; provided however that
it shall be lawful to manufacture
within this state, fermented malt
liquors containing 4"i> or less of
alcohol, manufactured exclusive­
ly for shipment outside of this
state; and provided further that
it shall be lawful to sell and de­
liver in this state by the manu­
facturer to any person or individ­
ual, in original packages only,
such fermented malt liquor con­
taining 4% or less of alcohol, in
such quantity or under such reg­
ulations as may be prescribed by
law. Until otherwise prescribed
by the legislature this right of
sale and delivery shall be limited
to the same quantity as persons
are now permitted to import into
the state under existing laws,
and such persons may not within
any one period fixed by law both
import and purchase locally” .
Here are a few features of this
bill which Attorney Baker point­
ed out.
The insertion of a comma after
the words “ for medicinal pur­
poses” and before t h e words
“ upon prescription of a licensed
physician” , makes it possible for
druggists to sell for medicinal
purposes without prescription,
and for physicians to prescribe it
for other than medicinal pur­
poses.
It is a rule of law that a per­
son does a thing himself when he
does it thru an “ agent” . With
this law in force we would un­
doubtedly see brewer’s “agents”
jin every town, including our own.
As all license and local option
laws were repealed with t h e
adoption of our present prohibi­
tion law it is hard to see what
control the local committees could
exercise over this new form of
distributing agency.
That an increased allowance for
deliveries contemplated is shown
by the words “in such quantity
or under such regulation as may
be prescribed by law” , “until
otherw ise prescribed by the legis­
lature” .
The bill is advocated on the
ground the we are at present
sending too much money out of
the state for liquor. The prohi­
bition interests have answered
this by an amendment intended
to prohibit absolutely the bring­
ing in of liquor. But the fact re­
mains that we are today sending
very much less money out of the
state to buy liquor than we did
when we had brewery owned
saloons.
This bill is but a n opening
wedge for the return to power of
John Barleycorn. Do you want
him back?

ECKNT statistics show that the number of
women bank depositors is steadily im-reas-
M
ing. It is a healthy sign of business condi­
tions. There was a time when the number
of womer. depositors was practically nil.
With the advent in the business world of
so many women it was assured that the
number of female depositors would show an increase.
Women are inclined to be more thrifty than men.
Thrift and bunking go hand in hand. Many women in
this community havi bank accounts. To those who
have not this appeal is made. Open a bank account
today. Once having ipened it, add to it. Watch it
grow. You’ll like tbs experience.
