1 TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1014. TIEPPNER HERAt.D, HEPPNER. OREGON. PACE THREE o 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 O The Committee of One Hundred says: "If you want to find out what dry Oregon will do for Oregon, go to Roseburg and see what dry Koseburg 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 there 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 $115,000 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 $500 less than present as sessed valuation. Another property owner has of fered four parcels of inside prop erty for fnlc at less than the as sessed aluation, and has not even received a tender. One of the leaders of the dry forces in Roseburg is a man who as a former agent 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 fays: "If you want to find out what Ore 9t, jVn drv do for Oregon ro to o s v-ivoseburi! and see what drv RoseburR ill between $M m yvfJI PUT YOUR AND VOTE AGAINSft (SAMPLE BALLOT) For Representative in Congress 12 JOHN DOE Vote for One 13 RICHARD ROE For United States Senator 18 JOHN DOE Vote for One 19 RICHARD ROE For Governor 22 JOHN DOE Vote for One 23 RICHARD ROE REFERRED TO PEOPL For an Amendment of Section 2, Article U, Etc, LY Vote YES ot NO 300 Yes 301 No 303 No For Amendment of Section 6, Etc, 304 Yes i 305 No Initiated by authority of TUTIONAL EIGHT 320 Yes 321 No Initiated by authority of and RCOM VENTILA 322 Yes 323 No Initiated by Joseph H.

But "business 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, IPH: "Nearly all of the time of thi. grand jufy has been taken up with consideration of alleged violations of the local option law within thN 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 Jsseph Frazier, Jr., as foreman. U. F.
