PROHIBITION
WHY
Mor» 'han zlxty year» ago Prohibition became th« name for a
theory advanced In « n effort to ov«r>-imv »uch vice» as could I* laid
at the door of Intemperance Prohibition at Its birth was fathered
by men of tins* .¿liable virtue It was spoken of as a panacea for
all humanity The Intention or motive was admirable and the spirit
of Its authors »as cumtu.-udxble
Many thousands of good m<n and women took kindly to the
theory and In the belief that it was practicable, they voted it upon
the stat«.
Brought up wl'Mn a horn», «htwlded from th» aeamy aide of life
or the trouble« of the aubmerged half of humanity, they did not
know what ptactlie would do to tb.tr theory They have since found
out.
WHERE
Pmhlbl’lnn was adopted In Maine by Constitutional amendment
In ISM by a n..ijorlty vote of It .(‘•J J Maine only retained the law
tn it! I by a bare majority of 75x
Prohibition was adopted In Vermont; was retained under trial
for fifty-three years and was REJECTED Prohibition was voted
and retained In the State of New Hampshire for forty-eight year»
a tid was REJECTED.
In all. during ths past sixty years It la a fact that twenty-four
States accepted the prohibition doctrine and It la a fact th», fifteen
of tb< **• states bave REJECTED IT
WHEN
When prohibition wra rejected in one state after another those
"WORKERS" who are drawing 110.000 and (20,000 |»r tampalgu
from the funds" »et up a hue and cry for Nation-Wide Prohibition
by United Stat«» Constitutional amendment.
Those WORKERS" »ere not the men who conceived the
theory of Prohibition They are men who. actuated by ■ principle»"
of mere personal gain and aggrandizement poured oil on th burned
out stump of the old theory In the hope of creating" aentiment ao
that they could bold their employment Indefinitely at (lu.uuu and
130,00 per campaign.
WHAT
\\ hat will be the verdict of Oregon voter» when they realize
that »u< h as the». have "talked" enough good men and women into
their line a« to tie uble to place thi» exploded theory on the Oregon
ballot* Will the voter» experiment with a theory exploded In fif
teen «tale» of the tweniy-four that have te»l»d It and found It
"wanting"?
True temperance la» been advanced through the Home Rule
or lex-al Option law» Communltl.» govern tiiemselves. Prohibi
tion wl]«.» thia excellent system from the book« Thousands of good
people, anxlou» to do good, have been misled Into accepting prohi
bition a» a "cure" when In reality It I» a menace.
WHITHER?
Whither will the economic and industrial future of Oregon
lead. If through real and prejudice the saner voters of cool brains
and knowledge are defeated and thia exploded experiment shall be
placed on the statute books of Oregon?
Fourteen hundred farmers representing holding» of 25,000
acres of hop land, part of an Indlfttry bringing more than Ifi.oOO.-
000 annually to Oregon are asking you to THINK
There are
50.000 people now In the hop fields harvesting this year's crop
They, with other labor, will receive 93.OOU.UOO in wages They too
are depending upon you to THINK
Inquire into the statements
made in this appeal.
They are true.
Then look for more Truth* tn this P>|*r every week and —
