burg had licensed saloons, and tl a
the population has increased in pro
portion to the settling up o f Seath-
ern O regon by new settlers and im
migration.
When Roseburg had licensed sa
loons the tax levy, on one-third ot
the valuation was two mills.
Since
Roseburg has gone dry the tax levy
has varied from eight to ten mills
on a lull valuation- ar.d in addition
occupation taxes have been steadily
increased
The Committee o f One Hundred
boasts tha> dry Roseburg has erected
a $115,000 hotel.
The hotel was
erected in 1915, stood idle and ten-
antless for four month
and was
rescued from the ba '
atcy c urt
by liberal business me
o f the e ty,
among whom were E. L. Parrr
C.
W. la rk s, Joseph M icelli, A. N. Or-
cott and Henry Hart, all o f whom
are radically opposed to a dry tow .1
The Committee o f One Hundred
also boasts of the artnnry as an
achievement.
Th
armory was bu :!t
by state, county and city funds com
bined, and is not yet completed.
Over 140 leading business men
have signed a petition ca ng for a
local option election in Roseburg this
year, and such an election will be
held.
Many empty store buildings arc to
be found on the leading business
streets—a condition that never e x
isted when Roseburg had licensed
saloons.
Scores of dwelling houses
are vacant for the first time in the
history o f the city.
John Hunter, a leading contracfoi
and form erly 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 ot
tered four parcels o f inside prop
erty for saie at less than ¡lie as
sessed valuation, and has not even
received a tender.
One of the leaders o f the dry
forces in Roseburg is a man who a;
a form er agent o f the Alba
brew i
erv m ad: his fortune, and who to-,
day is the o-.wer o f a drug store
He was at one time prominent it'

said to be seeking to place lieuten
ants in office through the dry m ove
ment.

Hood River is on« o/ chp “ dry"
towns that thy C om w itteo 0 / Oaf
Hundred hasn’ t said anything abovf.
But “ business is fine” «her? top, es
pecially in the dryg storps. The O c
tober grand jury spent some day*
looking into the ma/ter, 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 tp
discover if prohibition prohibited.
Tb>s is what they fopnd out, M
set forth in their form *! report to
the Circuit Court on O ctober 6, 1914:
“ Nearly all o f the time of the
grand jury has been taken up witji
consideration o f alleged violations of
the local option law within this ju ris
diction. We have received the report
o f the sheriff o f the county as to tl\e
quantity of intoxicating liquor shipped
into this county during the last three
months.
By this report it appears
that a large amount o f liquor has
been shipped to private individuals
dqring 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 o f id
accordance with the section o f the lo
cal option law regulating the writing
o f prescriptions by physicians, and id
this connection we call the attentiod
of physicians o f Hood River County
to Section 4921 o f Lord's .O regon
Laws.
“ We recopintend that the physi
cians con iine themselves more close
ly to the letter o f this section qf ,|fce

Big blunder in misleading “prohibition” campaign is made
J. E. WHEELER, CHAIRMAN OF

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.”

I ia one o f their “ m odel” dry towns.
And they any■“ business is fin e ” there
j Investigation proves that in the uni-
| versify eity at least one form o f buri
ness is good -— the mail order liquol
business.
From January 1 .to Ootober 1 this
year, the Hmithorn 1’ e -ific alone has
shipped into dry Kugene .from outsids
points:
1,341! -barrels o f bear,
#.’> canes o f liquor,
69 kegs o f liquor
21 bnrrels o f liquor.
This is enough liquor to stock on»
busy snloon for a y*nr.
Doubtless similar amounts have be«*
sent in by the Oregon Hlcctric Rail*
way, and by the several express com
panies operating within the city. Th*
records do not show the amounts i*
each keg- case or barrel, but the fig
ures in any event indicate that ther*
has been a vast amount o f liquor com-
sumed in “ dry** Kugene from which
the city hns received no license r#*
turns at all.
The Committee o f One Hundred say»
44business is fine in dry towns. 99 but
it has failed to specify the kind of

handed down by the September grand
jury, each one relating to liquor law

Every claim made by the Anti-Prohibition forces against the proposed prohi
bition amendment is confessed in the three above admissions.
The Anti-Prohibition forces have steadfastly claimed:
That prohibition is an infringement o f personal liberty.
Mr. Whseler admits it, word for word, in public print
That “ prohibition “ will not prohibit." Mr. Wheeler’s admission proves his Committee o f One Hundred is not trying to prohibit
That “ prohibition «iocs not m«-an Dry Oregon.''
That “ prohibition would he a <Au//i blow to the present healthy growth o f TRUE TEM PERANCE SBiVTjM KN T in ihe Jand.” Air’ Wheeler’s admission proves it.
