C. LEWIS EXPLAINS DRY LAW POSITION NOTES FROM PLACES BAN ELECT OFFICERS IS OPPOSED TO P R IN C IP A L ON GAMBLING AND MANAGER HIGH LICENSES The d irec to rs of th e G resham F ru it G row ers’ ‘association held a m eeting la st nig h t and elected th e follow ing officers: P resid en t, Theo. B rugger. Vice presid en t, I). E. Towle. Sec'y-T reas., Jas. E lkington. D. E. Tow le was elected m anager and is ready to e n te r upon th e task of m aking the cannery a success w hich he can do w ith the loyal co­ o p eratio n of all sto ck h o ld ers and pro­ d ucers in th is p a rt of the county. V arious com m ittees w ere ap p o in t­ ed to solicit stock, m ake a rra n g e ­ m ents for th e reb u ild in g and fu rn is h ­ ing equipm ent fo r th e cannery. M anager Tow le has the follow ing to say to all who are in te reste d in the success of th e cannery: It would seem a t th is tim e as th o u gh thp sto ck h o ld ers of the G resham cannery did not know when they were licked. A fter two serious reverses they rally and say th e ca n ­ nery m ust be reb u ilt, and they m ean It. T his is surely an expression of th e rig h t sp irit. T he fact is. to rebuild th e cannery is th e only th in g to do if th e fru it an d vegetable grow ing in d u stry is to live and prosper. T his being definitely settled , the next question is, W hat can I do to prom ote th e en te rp rise ? F irs t I can and will subscribe fo r m ore capital stock to fu rn ish th e funds necessary, along w ith th e cash on hand, to re ­ build th e cannery and equip it with th e la te s t im proved labor-saving m a­ ch in ery and ad ap ted to the canning of both fru it and vegetables. To do th is we m ust raise $5000. It seems lik e a lot of money but spread out o ver th e locality it is only a trace, an d to p reten d it would w ork a h a rd ­ sh ip is really ab su rd . T he fact is th a t in every sq u a re m ile ot th is te r ­ rito ry th e re is $5000 invested in a u ­ tos. So we cannot really plead pov­ e rty and are surely elected to come over w ith the $5000 fo r th is w orthy en terp rise. Second. We should give the e n te r­ p rise o u r loyal su p p o rt by del-.vjring o u r p roducts to th e cannery in first- class shape. Do not be lu red away by th e prom ise of an e x tra nickel or dim e on a crate. K eep in m ind the fact th a t w ith o u t th e cannery oui co m p etito rs would let you come to them and you w ould feel as though you had been favored w hen you r e ­ ceived a low er price th a n th e cannery would have paid. So we m ust sta n d loyally by th e e n te rp rise to th e end th a t we may live and grow. T h ird and last, but m ost vital of all, is th e need of an increase in ac­ reag e of stra w b e rrie s, C uthbert rasp b e rrie s, lo g an b erries, beans and corn. We should p la n t 25 acres of ca n n in g stra w b e rrie s, 50 acres of C u th b e rts and 50 acres of lo gans; a l­ so 25 of beans and from 50 to 100 acres of corn th is year. T he beans an d corn can be raised to ad v an tag e alo n g w ith th e C u th b e rts and logans. T he can n ery association is p re ­ p ared to m ake c o n tra c ts w ith grow ­ ers for a te rm of years at rem um era- tive prices and w ish to im press you w ith th e need of ta k in g up th e work of p lan tin g . T h ere is "no tim e to lose. A ct now. F eb ru ary and M arch p la n t­ ing of b erries is best. T he work is lig h t and p leasan t and is proving very profitable. We a re ready to close up a lim ited n u m b e r of con­ tra c ts now. F o r p a rtic u la rs see Jas. E lkington, se creta ry of th e association. GOES TO CALIFORNIA BUT MAY RETURN Dr. 8. P.

E d ito r O u tlo o k :— Due to the k in d ­ ness of som eone I have received a m ark ed copy of your excellent paper co n tain in g "R eso lu tio n s D eprecating W et S tre n g th .’ P erm it me to assu re you and your in te llig en t read ers, and those well- m eaning people who passed the reso­ lu tio n s of mild censure th at the to te on th e reso lu tio n directed to congress to m ake th e "D istrict of C olum bia D ry," in no m an n er voices the wet o r dry sen tim en t of those voting “ No,” nor indicates in any m anner how they will vote on th e Dry bill when It com es before tlie House. T h eir vote was sim ply a protest ag a in st u ndue h aste and th e m anner in which the resolution was p rese n t­ ed. W hen th e reso lu tio n was p re­ sen ted and its adoption first moved, th e H ouse was not organized. No m em ber except the m over th ereo f had h eard , read or been given an op­ p o rtu n ity of read in g th e sam e. The ru les of the H ouse provide th a t all bills and co n cu rren t reso lu ­ tions sh all be p rin ted and lie on the desks of th e m em bers for a specified tim e, th ereb y giving to th e m em bers an o p p o rtu n ity to read th e sam e and to p rep a re and offer am endm ents providing they desire so to do. A gain, th o s e , voting "N o" were pledged to use th e ir tim e anil en ­ d eavor to fram e and pass such laws as would low er taxes if possible and im prove conditions in Oregon and they Telt they should devote th e ir tim e along th ese lines, and they could see no good resu lts th a t would flow from sending a resolution to C ongress o r w asting th e tim e of the H ouse ask in g C ongress to do th e ex­ act th in g it had alread y decided on doing. I again rep eat, the vote in no m an ­ n er in d icates th e dry or wet se n ti­ m ents of th e m em bers voting “ No” on th e proposed dry m easu re yet to come before th e H ouse; while, on the o th e r han d , th e reso lu tio n was re ­ g arded b t m any m em bers as an ad ­ vanced feW 'r to learn how m em bers stood, and th a t it was not introduced in good faith for any benefit th a t the resolution could accom plish, and this feeling caused some resen tm en t. Some th o u g h t the resolution a po liti­ cal trick and I am one of those who th in k so. Two years ago o u tsid e in ­ fluence caused a bad, so-called dry. law to be placed on th e s ta tu te books, an d the sam e political influences are ag ain at w ork. AT th e 1915 session, I intro d u ced a Dry bill and worked h ard for it. I voted ag a in st th e so- called Dry bill of th e 1915 session on th e grounds and for the reason th a t th e bill was u n fa ir and was full of Jokers and w ould m ake a few men rich th ro u g h sales of liq u o r in vio­ lation of law. W as my ju d g m en t sound? I leave it to o th e rs who know som ething reg a rd in g alcoholic sales and police co u rt proceedings. The bill I Introduced would have p ro tec t­ ed the people ag a in st th e late alco­ holic to rre n t. So will my p resen t bill if adopted, which is now before the Alcoholic Traffic com m ittee, but prob­ ably doomed lo an untim ely, and pos­ sibly political, d eath . 1 tru st those who m ildly censured me with o th ers will carefu lly read House Bills Nos. 1 and 2 now in your office and also the resolution intro d u ced by myself calling on C ongress to subm it the wet and dry q uestion to a vote of the people, then they will know w here 1 stand. H ouse Bill No. 2 is one to prevent th e sale o.’ p aten t m edicines co n tain ­ ing alcohol in such q u an titie s as to be a real d rin k producer. Do you favor such a m easu re? 1 will vote for th e bills and resolution 1 have intro d u ced if given an o p p o rtu n ity , and my bills will m ake th e sta te dry. T h ere a re no wet holes in them . Is th a t what you and those who censure us desire? 1 will not vote for a vicious bill or untim ely reso lu tio n o r u bill th at created class privileges sim ply be­ cause it is dubbed "A Dry M easure.” P ersonally, I th in k a dry law yer as good as a wet clergym an and shall keep th a t th o u g h t in mind when called on to vote. House BIII b Nos. 1 and 2 should be in your office as I placed your paper on my m ailing list for th e purpose of accom m odating th e G resham rea d ­ ers and voters, and a t y o u r office those good people who adopted reso­ lu tio n of mild cen su re can easily learn my views on the su b je ct u nder discussion as well as on o th e r ques­ tions. If th e bills are not th ere, 1 will fu rn ish them . I believe in o rderly legislation. Last y ear we were censured for vot­ ing for a so-called m idnight reso lu ­ tion w hich we were not given an op­ p o rtu n ity of reading. I sh all not be cau g h t th a t way again reg ard less of th e fact th a t th e resolution p ertain s to alcohol o r any o th e r su b ject. In conclusion, perm it me to say, th a t a t th e end of forty days, the people of M ultnom ah county will know us by o u r work, and not until then. R espectfully yours, D. C. LEW IS.
