READ THIS AND JUOCE FOR YOURSELF
The two principal changes, proposed
by the local option law, which is to be
voted on ao the general election, June 4.
1906, are as follows:
(1) The proposed amendment to the
local option law raises the number of
voters necessary to call a prohibition
election from 10 per cent to 30 per cent.
Reason Unless at leat 30 per cent
of the voters in a precinct are willing to
pemand an election, it is not fair that
the commnnity ahonld be saddled with
the eipense. The average popnlntion
of a precinct in Oregon is about 250. so
that even nnder the increased percent
age, prohibitionists would seldom have
to obtain more than 75 names in order
to call an election. The Ohio local
option law reqnires 40 per cent of the
voters on a petition before an election
can be called.
(1) The proposed amemdment to
the local option law allows a prohibition
election to be called in anv precinct in
Oregon, hut prevents the grouping of
precincts together, or the gerrymander
ing of counties in order that the vote ol
several "dry" precincts may smotner the
vote of one "wet" Drecinct.
Reason It doe not seem necessary
to make any argument in favor of this
portion of the proposed amendment,
The fan It which it seeks to correct was
one of the nnmerons deceits of the
original local option law, which actually
denied local option except to common)
tis that voted for prohibition. If we are
to have a precinct local option law, let
ns have a precinct local option law and
stop there. Whatever mav be said for
or against the original local optloo la
or wha tever mav be said in argument
on the proposed amendment to the
local option law, one thing is absolutely
certain and cannot be denied, and that Is:
The nroDosed amendment to the local
option law gives exactly equal privileges
to prohibitionists and anti prohibition
ist. It is a square deal. Adv
