City Club Report Blasts Arguments
AGAINST LIQUOR-BY-THE-G LASS !
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.

prohibitionists. Here arc the facts, as repot

Arguments Against the Bill

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.

2. 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.”

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? Legalize liquor by-the-glass.
