Be thrifty in using electricity for lighting your home and running
your radio. Your thrift will save you money. You'll be helping to
save electricity, too. That's important, because every kilowatt is needed
in this fast-growing area. Peak power needs in the Pacific Northwest
have increased more than 57 in only four years. So use your radio
and lights carefully. Follow the tips listed below. You'll be saving
electricity vitally needed in this fast-growing region.

But not as ridiculous as it sounds, Mrs. Housewife!
Remember back in. the '30's when you could feed your family well for about
$35.00 a month? If someone had said then that in 1948 you could only
feed your family skimpily at $90.00 a month you would have exclaimed
"Ridiculous I" But your food costs are flying high.
A NEW MONOPOLY FURTHER THREATENS YOUR FOOD COSTS!
A amall group the Gillnetter'a union want a "closed
shop" on the Columbia River aalmon catch. They are
getting 70 of the total catch now but they want ALL I
Bo they are aiming at your pocketbook by trying to
eliminate the fixed gear that only catch 20 of the
almon. Remember, this 20 is the balance that can keep
your salmon prices in bounds; keep your entire meat
budget from ballooning out of sight.
FIGHT THIS FOOD MONOPOLY NOW-YOU CAN PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING!
The facts show as reported by the Oregon e
Fish Commission, June, 1948, that all that hap
pens when you ban fixed gear is that more fish
are caught by gillnets.
So, this bill to eliminate fixed gear is not
conservation of salmon, but absolute control of
the salmon catch. You housewives have had
experience with such monopolies. You know
what happens to your household expenses I
Usually you have had to fight AFTER these
conditions exist. Now you, can fight BEFORE
it is formed. It will be much easier to prevent
this "closed shop on the Columbia" by voting
319-X-NO.

sary for us to build stations all along our cross
country lines to keep your voice going through
with normal clarity and volume. On some
lines repeaters are spaced 70 miles apart. On
others they're as close as 8 miles. You may have
notited some of them from the highway.

For today there are twice as many

All over Oregon open-minded people are asking:
Why Require Purchase of a Botth?
LEGALIZE LIQUOR BY TH
In a scientific, state-wide survey recently completed,
a reliable 'public-opinion research organization,
which has accurately forecast the results of many
Oregon elections, finds that "a majority of those who
have heard of the measure (liquor-hy-the-glass) would,
presently vote for its passage!"
This confirms a similar state-wide survey, made last
spring, which found 46 of Oregon's citizens in
favor of iiquor-by-the-glass and 44 insisting on
purchase of liquor hy-:he-bottIe only.
It is a fact that whenever open-minded citizens or
organizations have studied the measure without prior
prejudice, they have found reasons for supporting this
measure and no legitimate reasons for opposing it.
The Retail Trade Bureau of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce says, in an authorized statement: "This
Bureau is on record, through its membership, favor
ing amendment to the Knox Law which would permit
the sale of drinks in hotels and dubs, over the bar.
The reason for our taking this action is the belief that
it would encourage temperance and would not neces
sitate individuals buying a whole bottle and consum
ing it immediately, if an individual drink could be
purchased."
The Oregon State Federation of Labor is on record
with the following resolution: "Whereas, the present
system of liquor control in Oregon is not good and
results in imposition of unreasonable regulations
upon citizens who desire to consume alcoholic bev
erages, and, whereas, the sale of alcoholic beverages
in hotels and restaurants and other public places
should be lawful without the possession of club
licenses; therefore it is resolved that the Oregon State
Federation of Labor will join with any other respon
sible groups who initiate the change of the present
law to permit the free and open sale of beverages of
alcoholic content by responsible licensed businesses
without the present cumbersome restrictions."
On February 21, 19-18, Oregon's largest news
paper, The OregonidH, said editorially: "The privilege
of buying liquor by-the-drink would be appreciated
DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE
by tourists, many of whom complain of the present
system. It would encourage hotels, restaurants and
entertainment clubs to improve their facilities. But
without considering these benefits to business, one
also may hope for a decline in drunkeness in public
places and rapid diminishment of bootlegging if
there is licensing and strict control of legitimate out
lets for sale of liquor by-the-drink."
Seth F. Harper, superintendent of the State Liquor
Dispensary in our neighboring state of Idaho, in a
letter dated August 26, 1948, said: "I am certain that
with the high license and bond, careful state regula
tions regarding the sale of liquor, and a good enforce
ment operation, sale of liquor by-the-drink can be a
decided factor in a temperate regulation of the use of
alcholic beverages."
EVEN ITS FRIENDS WILL ADMIT THE
KNOX LAW IS FAR FROM PERFECT!
C C Chapman, of Tb Oregon Voter, his been criti
cal of this measure for reasons of his own, hut in the
issue of August 7, 1948, he has this to say: "Oregon's
Knox Law seemed the best way to compromise be
tween prohibition and the saloon, it has worked out
fairly well. Under it there have been no centers for
drinking of hard liquor except the home, the licensed
club or the licensed establishment to which the pur
chaser could take his own bottle and have sen-ice of
his own liquor. Conditions hae not been satisfactory
to anyone, but they have approached a moderate
acceptability."
Ia a recent published statement, Mrs. Ruth E.
Tooze, state president of the W.C.T.C, typical of the
organizations working against the liquor-by-the-glass
measure, said: "Let me emphasize again that the
Oregon Women's Christian Temperance t'nion is
now, as in the past, opposed to all liquor sales,
whether they are sales by-the-glass, or sales by-the-bottle
through the state liquor control system operat
ing under the Knox law or any other law."
