INSTALLED AND FOR SALE BY City Club Report Blasts Arguments ACAINST LIQUOR-RY-THE-GLASS! FRED CULP Cave Junction For years the City Club o f Portland has been noted for the thoroughness o f its studies and the impartiality o f its reports on candidates and political measures. A City Club report just sub mitted on the Oregon Liquor Dispensing Licens- ’ ing Act ( Knox Law Improv ement) 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 o f the prohibitionists. Here are the facts, as reported by a City Club Committee composed o f seven lead ing citizens, including a minister. Arguments Against the Bill 1 -lt would increase drinking, drunkeness and alcoholism in Oregon. „ 1 ^'l,v Club report says this argument is an 'opinion only, unfounded on provable fact.'" 2. DON’T PUT UP THIS SIGN! The passage of this bill will lead to the return of wide open drinking throughout the state A further possibility is the eventual breakdown of the Knox Law and complete revulsion by the public who would then hasten to dry up the state through local option elections. I he Cuv Club report says this argument "is not based on fact. A careful search o f the local option laws in the various states fails to shou New industries can’t come to Oregon now if they use large amounts of electric power. There’s an actual power shortage in the state. any correlation beta t en the method of dispens ing liquor and any trend totvard dryness." Why haven’t more power dams been built? One big reason is an obsolete Oregon law that discourages building of hydroelectric plants by power companies. 3. Liquor will be consumed in public places such as restaurants and hotels which are fre quented by women and children. The City Club report savs "this argument is advanced by nearly all the drv forces. Its cogencv depends on one s attitude toward drinking in public or semi-public places.’’ Actuallv. this argument is downright silly. The last state legislature corrected the law that is holding up Oregon's progress. It made Oregon power laws conform to the Federal Power Act. The vote was 70 to 201 Now the modernised hydroelectric law is submitted to the people for approval, in the form of Referendum 306. Vote 306 ® yes , S O*' > a- — — for oloctrie p r o g r tn , H O There w ill be plenty o f restaurants to which women and children can go without being ex posed to drinking in public places. I he argument of drinking by minors also fails to stand up. A ll provisions o f the Knox Law covering this subject w ill continue in fu ll force. Obv iously, licensed establishments, operating in the open won’t dare serve minors; the risk is too great. 4. If the bill passes and if the serving of liquor by-fhe-glass is as profitable as the proponents believe it will be, tremendous political pres sure will be exerted on the Oregon Liquor Control Commission for issuing of new licenses. I he City Club report says this argument "de pends upon the profits from selling liquor by the glass under this b ill, and secondly upon the attitude and integrity o f the Commission.” 5 The bill is discriminatory because all establish ments which would like to serve liquor by the drink w ill not be licensed. The City Club report says this argument "is valid only depending upon one’s point o f view. If discriminates against the beer taverns which cannot he licensed under this bill. However, w ith 2” restaurants (81 in Portland) and 105 clubs u m ' j - Port!and> being potentially eligible to hold dispensing licenses under this proposed h ill, your committee feels that the general public u i/l not he discriminated against." 1 he City Club report clarifies the entire issue when it says: "The proposed hill would m odify the present Knox Law only to the extent that it substitutes the dispenser's bottle for that of the customer's." Oregon has much to gain and nothing to lose hv improving the Knox I.aw. \ \ hv require pur chase o f a Dottle? Legalize liquor bv-the-glass.
