TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1914. HEPPNER HERALD, HEPPNER, OREGOM. PAGE THREE GO TO ROSEBURG AND SEE WRECK DRYS HAVE MADE Bank Deposits Fall Off Half Mil lion Dollars in Dry Town ASSESSMENTS MUCH HIGHER Real Estate Offered for Sale at Less Than Valuation But No Bidders The Committee of One Hundred says: "If you want to find out what dry Orcsjon will do for Oregon, go to Koseburg and see what dry Rosphurg has accomplished." Here's what it has done. It has cut down the bank deposits by over $500,000, in spite of the fact that :here are now four banks to the two in existence when Rose burg had licensed saloons, and that the population has increased in pro portion to the settling up of South ern Oregon by new settlers and im migration. When Roseburg had licensed sa loons the tax levy, on one-third of the valuation was two mills. Since Roseburg has gone dry the tax levy has varied from eight to ten mills on a full valuation; and in addition occupation taxes have been steadily increased. The Committee of One Hundred boasts that dry Roseburg has erected a 8115,000 hotel. The hotel was erected in 1913, stood idle and ten antless for four months, and was rescued from the bankruptcy court by liberal business men of the city, among whom were E. L. Parrot, C. W. Parks, Joseph Micelli, A. N. Or cott and Henry Hart, all of whom are radically opposed to a dry town. The Committee of One Hundred also boasts of the armory as an achievement. The armory was built by state, county and city funds com bined, and is not yet completed. Over 140 leading business men have signed a petition calling for a local option election in Roseburg this year, and such an election will be held. Many empty store buildings are to be found on the leading business streets a condition that never ex isted when Roseburg had licensed saloons. Scores of dwelling houses are vacant for the first time in the history of the city. John Hunter, a leading contractor and formerly a supporter of the drys, is now advertising in Roseburg pa pers; Business block for sale for S500 less than present as sessed valuation. Another property owner has of fered four parcels of inside prop erty for sale at less than the as sessed valuation, and has not even received a tender. One of the leaders of the dry forces in Roseburg is a man who as a former apent of the Albany brew ery made his fortune, and who to day is the owner of a drug store. He was at one time prominent in politics, was repudiated by the vot ers of Douglas County, and is now said to be seeking to place lieuten ants in office through the dry move ment. Beggars are common on the streets, and many poor families are appeal ing to the local bankers for aid. And yet the Committee of One Hundred says: "If you want to find out what Ore gon dry will do for Oregon go to Roseburg and see what dry Roseburg has accomplished." f PUT YOUR I between fill If!

Grand Jury in Pry Town Says Too .Much Liquor Hold Raps Docljrs. Hood River is one of the "dry" towns that the Committee of One Hundred hasn't said anything about But "busine-s is fine" there too, es pecially in the drug stores. The Oc tober grand jury spent some days looking into the matter, and reported on it. In fact about all the grand jury did was to probe the liquor sit uation in "dry" Hood River, thus spending the taxpayers' money to discover if prohibition prohibited. This is what they found out, as set forth in their formal report to the Circuit Court on October 6, '.3I4: "Nearly all of the time of the grand jufy has been taken up with consideration of alleged violations of the local option law within this juris diction. We have received tin report of the sheriff of the county as to the quantity of intoxicating liquor shipped into this county during the last three months. By this report it appears that a large amount of liquor has been shipped to private individuals during the period, and presumably procured and used legally. It fur ther appears that the quantity re ceived by the drug stores during the period was' considerably more than during the preceding three months, and too large to be disposed of in accordance with the section of the lo cal option law regulating the writing of prescriptions by physicians, and in this connection we call the attention of physicians of Hood River County to Section 4921 of Lord's Oregon Laws. "We recommend that the physi cians confine themselves more close ly to the letter of this section of the local option law." The report is signed by Joseph Frazier, Jr., as foreman. ACC DENTALLY TAKES POISON Mr. and Mrs. Frank Monahan drank a bottle of iodine last Friday after noon and was quite seriously ill. Dr. McMurdo happened to be just across the street at the time and the mother rushed over with the child. The doc- tor immediately washed the baby's stomach with starch water, which is ! the antidate for iodine poison. Large ! quantities of the iodine were removed from the child's stomach and she is getting along alright now. O. M. Yeager, Architect and Builder.

WHEELER, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED ADMITS IN PUBLIC PRINT That Prohibition is AN INFRINGEMENT OF PERSONAL LIBERTY. That the word "DISTRIBUTION" was DELIBERATELY LEFT OUT OF the proposed "prohibition" amendment. That "ANY CITIZEN" may ship liquor "direct from some other state" into "HIS OWN HOME." EVER! CLAIM MADE NT THE ANTI-PROHIBITION FORCES AGAINST THE PRO- F.VttKNE. The Commit ton of One Hundred, together with other prohibi tum orgnniv.ntions, boasts that Fueene, the seat of the I'niversity of Oregon, is one of their "model" dry towns. And they sny "husine.MH is fine" there. Investigation prnvea tlnit in the uni versify city nt leant one form of bum ness is i;ood the mail order linunr business. From Jnnunry 1 to October 1 this year, the Southern Pacific alone hns shipped into dry Eugene from outside points: barrels of beer, ft." enses of iunr, d! kejrs of liquor ill barrels of liquor. This is enough liquor to stock one busy Biiloon for a year. Itoiibtless Niinilnr amounts hnve been sent in by the Oregon Fleet rie Rnil wtiy, unci by the several express com pnnies operating within the city. The records tin not show the amounts In eneli keg, ense or bnrrel, but the fig ores in any event indicate that there lias been a nst amount of liquor con stimeil in "dry" Kugcne from which the city iias received no lirei.sw re turns at all. The Committee of One Hundred shvs "business is fine in dry towns," but it lias failed to specify the kind of business. Ol'ficinl records at Lngeno, the home of tin1 state university, where hundreds of young men and women go from all parts of the state, speak for tlit'liisees. Eugene Matron Finds Liquor. Kf'ti h K.

The Anti-Prohibition Forces Have Steadfastly Claimed: That "prohibition is nn infringe ment of personal liberty". Mr. Wheeler admits it, word for word, in public print. That "prohibition will not prohibit." Mr. Wheeler' admission proves his Committee of One Hundred is not trying to prohibit. That "prohibition would be a death blow to thn present healthy growth f TKUK TK.MI'KKANCK .SKNT1.MKNT in the land." Mr. Wheeler's admi--sion proves it. That "prohibition does "Itry Oregon." That "prohibition would let down the bars to HI.IMl I'KiGKRS and ItOOT-I.MJC.KRS, who would deal in deadly decoction". The same law nut mean would allow any blind pigger with a .IIO.MK to t.hip liquor "direct from some other Mat-" to MIS lloMK, for the HI.
