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

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
