MERCHANTS ALL ENTHUSIASTIC
BUILDIKO PERMITS FAR
GREATER STORY OF
DRY TOWNS TOLD.
BY ORTON K. GOODWIN,
PubUxlty Department, Committee of One
Hundred.
There is ouly one fair way to
find out what Oregon dry will do
for Oregon. That is by investi
gating what Oregon dry has done
for those parts of Oregon now
I dry. 3 .
! So far as ean be learned in
j Salem, Oregon City, Hoseluirg,
i Alhimv. Fiiicene and other Ore-
i gon dry towns, business has been ,
! better in all lines, save that of the
; saloon, in every dry town.
I Why, even in Pendleton, which
voted wet after being dry, niu
which will probably vote dry, many
merchants are now in favor of a
drv town and declare collections
were better, business better and had
debts fewer when the town was dry.
Building Now Better.
In Salem, building has been
greater since the town went dry.
There are but few vacant houses,
and Ihose vacant are described as
"shacks." Practically every saloon
has been re-Ienanted by other lines
of business, anil one of the princi
pal saloon sites has been replaced
by a fine new building block.
Since Salem went dry a $20,00(1
brick building has been erected und
a $40,000 business block is yoing up
Doesn't look as if dry Salem hurt
that town, does it?
Better Building Results.
Salem went dry January . 1fll4.
The building permits Jor '(he first
eight months of JUJ"l, when tin
town was wet. 7'(:,i $88,025. I'm
the firsj nt'months of t',114 the
w$r. $122,385, an increase of
'..;l.4fi0.
Another instance of a dry town
helping business! Absence of tin
saloon always means better busi
ncss, for the money that once weni
to the saloon goes inlo trade
Checks cashed once in saloons an
rushed in stores and part of then,
are spent there, in place of in tin
saloons.
There were 2."4 arrests for Hit
first seven months of l!Ki in Salem
for drunkenness; in 1014 the ar
rests totaled only 47 for the same
cause.
Stores Enlarge Premises.
The three largest stores have had i
to remodel their premises because
of increased business, when other j
towns wet at thai have been roin j
plaining.
In Oregon City arrests have de- j
rreascd (iO per cent.
Violations of the stale liipior laws
(bootlegging and so forth), are now
less lhan one half.
You see the saloon men never
used to obey Ihe law-in a dry
town they have to obey it.
Bank Deposits Increase.
Deposits in Ihe banks have In
creased. There is more building.
Hail debts are being cleared up.
Collections are easier. Not one mill
check has been cashed in a saloon.
All business men say trade is belter.
Which amwrr$ Ihe question as to
' why Ihe cru hut come from alt oner
Oregon for a dry town.
I.. Adams, one of Ihe leading Ore
gon City merchants, said:
"Since Oregon City went dry
business has much improved. Col
lections are easier. I have fewer
had bills on my books lhan I had
year ago. People now have a ten
dency to buy their goods at home.
I used to rash l.'t cheek on mill pay
nights. Now I rash f0. The aboli
tion of the saloon has turned a vast
sum of money daily inlo the chan
nels of trade in Oregon City."
All of which answers the ques
tion of whether a town is belter wtt
or dry.
