Less Liquor Control?
Liquor, which is regarded by most
Oregonians as a necessary evil that
should be stripped of as many disadvant
ages as possible, has been pretty well
handled in his state. State-owned and
operated stores have proven their worth
and have placed the traffic on as legiti
mate and dignified a basis as possible.
We believe most voters will agree that,
so long as we are to have spiritous
drinks available, the present state setup
is most reasonable.
It is generally agreed that effective
regulation is needed most in the hand
ling of strong drink. It is a self-evident
fact that the fewer liquor outlets we
have, the better our control of those out
lets. That is why almost every Oregonian
who visits California, and the Californ
ians who come here, favor the Oregon
liquor control plan of state-owned and
operated liquor stores, where certified
spirits are sold at the lowest possible
price, and under strict supervision. In
Oregon there is no price-slashing compe
tition, no battle between dealers to mer
chandise their wares, and a becoming
modesty is apparent at the state outlets.
The California method of liquor hand
ling—which can hardly be termed “con
trol”—is garish, loose and highly com
mercialized. Liquor in the sunshine state
seeks out the buyer, while in Oregon the
of spiritous w&res must seek
his supply. And if any readers dismiss
this difference as of no consequence,
they should review in their minds the
history of cigaret smoking. Thorough
merchandising of cigarets, and forced
popularizing of smoking through the me
dium of window displays, advertising,
billboards and other common vehicles,
have trained us to accept as quite or
dinary, without comment or notice, the
use of cigarets by youngsters and
mothers.
This breaking down of sales resistance
—in some lines—is resulting in a break
ing down of the moral structure of the
present age. Advertising and commer
cialism of tobacco have resulted in the
spreading of its purposeless use by a
great majority of people. These same
forces, allowed to work in behalf of
liquor, could accomplish a like result in
the consumption of alcoholics.
For this reason, we believe the Oregon
method of liquor control is inherently
correct and good. Parents, and those
who can see farther than the bottom of
a pint bottle, will agree that the less em
phasis placed on the selling of spiritous
liquors the better.
The Knox liquor control law, which
takes liquor from sales-hungry local and
chain-store outlets, is not a direct issue
in the coming election November 6, but
Candidate Joe Dunne has made opposi
tion to the la wa plank in his campaign
platform for governor.
Silver-tongued “Airflow” Dunne has
told businessmen and merchants he fav
ors the turning over to them of the
liquor traffic. Apparently Mr. Dunne
would have 20 outlets where today there
is one; drug store prescription signs
would be done over with a “90-proof”
notation.
We believe this one issue alone should
settle most voters’ minds, where there is

BESSIE VIOLA ASHLEY,
Plaintiff,

WALTER ASHLEY, Defendant.
SUIT IN EQUITY FOR DIVORCE
ALIAS SUMMONS
To: WALTER ASHLEY, the above
named defendant:
In the name of the state of Ore
any doubt whether General Martin or
Joe Dunne is the better candidate. It is
commonly understood how army gener
als stand in the matter of liquor control.
Martin has had years of experience in
handling its abuse, and his presence in
the state house would strengthen greatly
the cause of temperance and regulation.
“Airflow,” however, would rather see
strong drink placed in commercial chan
nels to be merchandised along with pills,
breakfast foods, toothpaste and face
creams.
The liquor traffic does not need mer
chandising; it needs control and Joe
Dunne, with his “bartender" front, ad
mittedly favors commercial interests in
the handling of liquor.
Which may be fine for business in
Oregon, but detrimental to the public
welfare. We have the Knox law as a bul
wark standing between us and the saloon
days. Let’s elect a governor who will
back it up.

Obnoxious Weeds

“I’ll String Along With You—”
On every hand we hear so much criti
cism of the administration it is pretty
hard for anyone to tell what fraction
of the free advice is constructive, and
how much of it is political din. But we
have yet to see more than a small part
of the New Deal condemnation that has
not been inspired by personal or selfish
interest.
It seems that every critic of the ad
ministration has some self-seeking or
partisan desire inspiring his condemna
tion ... some phase of the New Deal has
pinched his toes or ousted his candidate.
Frankly, The Miner itself objects to the
price-fixing policy of NRA, not because
it “endangers the Constitution or our
liberty,” but because we feel it discrim
inates in favor of the large newspaper
and commercial printing shopf.
And so it goes. Every person who
bursts into the limelight by flaying the
president and his efforts has some axe
to grind. Either they are seeking office
or want some personally more favorable
legislation, or they hope to discredit or
hinder the administration with an eye to
swinging election more to their liking.
The more we see and read of present
political hullabaloo and criticism the less
faith we have in sincerity of those who
would save us from this or that terrible
doom we are supposed to be heading for
with Roosevelt. Critics are a dozen
bridges ahead of us seeking something
to worry about. Near election time they
would have us crossing spans we may
never approach.
Just why, especially in tough times
like the past few years, we should elect
a head man and tell him to lead the way
and then, before a year has passed, all
of us tell him “No, you’re going the
wrong direction, Mr. President. Follow
me and I’ll take you along the only safe
path,” is a greater wonder to The Miner.
So far as this paper is concerned,
we’ve pinned our faith on the hope and
belief that Franklin Roosevelt has the
welfare of all his countrymen at heart
and we are willing to back up our 1932
judgment of his for at least four years.
Barking dogs and calamity howlers are
not going to show us the way out and
we’ll have to follow some leader long
enough to actually get somewhere, even
if it is a long, wandering trail through
the woods. At the end of his term, Mr.
Roosevelt most certainly can’t leave the
nation in more chaotic condition than it
was in when he took over official duties.
In other words, being politically fickle
isn’t going to get any of us anywhere.
We’ll have to settle down and string
along with some administration before
we can make any definite and lasting
progress and to desert the present demo
cratic leaders in the fall election would
prolong the time by just that much when
we eventually can emerge as a healthy
nation again.
