For years the City Club of Portland has been noted for the thoroughness of its studies and the impartiality of its reports on candidates and political measures. A City Club report just sub mitted on the Oregon Liquor Dispensing Licens ing Act (Knox Law Improvement) while mak •; no specific voting recommendation, completely disposes of the arguments most commonly ad vanced against this measure. Don’t be fooled by the propaganda of the prohibitionists. Here arc the facts, as repot y a City Club Committee composed of seven lead ing citizens, including a minister. Arguments Against the Bill 1.

ESQUIRE rimto æ 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. 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.

The passage of this bill will lead to the return of wide open drinking throughout the state A further possibility is the eventual breakdc vn of the Knox Law and complete revulsion by the public who would then hasten to dry up the state through local option elections. The City Club report says this argument "is not based on fact. A careful search of the local option laws in the various states fails to show any correlation betueen the method of dispens ing liquor and any trend toward dryness.” WILLIAM M. McAllister REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR 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 says "this argument is adi inced by nearly all the dry forces. Its cogency <k' .nds on one's attitude toward drinking in public or semi-public places.” Actually, this argument is downright silly. — From — JACKSON COUNTY There will be plenty of restaurants to which women and children can go without being ex- p< d to drinking in public places. The argument of drinking by minors also fails to stand up. All provisions of the Knox Law covering this subject will continue in full force. Obviously, 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-the-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. The City Club report says this argument ’’de pends upon the profits from selling liquor by the glass under this hill, and secondly upon the attitude and integrity of the Commission." 5. The bill is discriminatory because all establish ments which would like to serve liquor by the drink will not be licensed. The City Club report says this argumenr "is v only depending upon one’s point of view. It .criminates against the beer taverns which cannot be licensed under this bill. However, with 277 restaurants (HI in Portland) and 105 clubs (18 in Portland) being potentially eligible to hold dispensing licenses under this proposed bill, your committee feels that the general public will not he discriminated against.” The City Club report clarifies the entire issue when it says: "The proposed bill would modify 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 Io- e by improving the Knox Law. 5X'hy require pur chase of a hottie?
