OBREGON REQUESTS
PROLONGING
THU Mod ford oily oouuoil estimates that if slnlowido
prohibition carries, it will bo necessary lo inoroaso
the already high city lovy throo mills to supply the dette
ionoy caused by loss of saloon lioonso rovonuo. This will
probably havo to bo followed by an "occupation tax" also
as is now being debated atRosoburg and as Klamath Falls
ami other cities havo had to enforce under dry regime.
Tho loss of municipal revenue and consequent in
creased taxation will not bo tho only disastrous results of
prohibition. Prohibition will close tho Hotel Medford.
now kept open at a saorifieo to give tho city a creditable
hostelrv, and will force the closing of other hotels. .It will
throw vacant the ton store-rooms now occupied and cause
a reduction in rentals in the business section.
Times have been dull in Oregon, as they always are
following an era of inflation, a period of boom, followed by
a world-wide war. To adopt prohibition precipitates
economic changes which will result in an era of depression
throughout tho state at least during the period of read
justment A largo army of workmen will be thrown out
of occupation, a homo market for one of the principal Ore
gon crops, hops, be destroyed, and nhieh invested capital
confiscated.
The adoption 'of prohibition effects no groat moral re
form, but will prolong tho period of industrial depression
nowhere more than in Medford. The money hitherto spent
at homo, the bulk in Oregon, will hereafter bo sent outside
the state. The period of commercial and industrial read
justment is bound to be one of depression.
Local option has enabled the community to regulate or
abolish the lieensqd liquor business as it chooses. The
saloon is practically;. banished from the country districts
and exists only in, tbft.eitics where stringent regulations
govern- It is thciuost sensible and most practical solu
tioitr of the problem yet found and one which rests en
tirely upon the consent of the, governod, as all good gov
ernment must.
If the loeal.option law remains in effect, it will not nec
eSsarilv create prosperity. It will not, however, create
financial, depression. It will not make times any harder,
or taxes any higher, or close any first-class hotels, or
vacate any storerooms, or close any luanufaeturies, or
throw anyone oufc of "vioi'lr. Prohibition will.
WEST'S ENDORSEMENT
SOME opposition is reported to Dr. Smith's candidacy,
because it is favored by Governor West.
AVhy should any one object to Governor West's advo
cacy of any cause?
lias Governor AVest ever fought against a good cause?
lias Governor AVest ever fought for a bad cause?
Has not Governor AArest stood for the Oregon system,
for law enforcement, for economy in administration, for
prison reform, for legislation favorable for humanity?
Has not Governor AVest fought special interests seek
ing to grab state property? Has he not used the veto vig
orously to prevent waste of state funds? Has he not at all
times stood for the people as against the political bosses
find gang domination? Has he not reformed the prisons
and helped place state institutions upon a business basis?
briefly, Governor AVest has fought a good light for
better things, as it was given him to see them, and has
fought those things that should be fought.
Governor AVest never injured a legitimate institution.
Those institutions he attacked oifght to have been elim
inated by local authorities who wore aiegligent of their
duties. They 'wore law-defying concerns, inimical to the
best interests of humanity.
Organized vice and those who hope to profit by illegal
means, as well as corporations seeking special- legislation
these are expected to oppose Governor AVest find any
one that he supports, as likely to carry out a law enforce
ment and treasury-guarding policy. J3ut those who have
the best interests of Oregon and humanity at heart are not
opposed to Governor AVest.
It is true that Dr. Smith is an entirely different type
of man from Governor AVest. Ho has not the sensational
methods of the governor, but he brings an extended public
experience, a forcefulness and poise and a proven business
ability that testify as to his capacity for the job.
In brief, alone among the candidates, Dr.' Smith is of
gubernatorial size is not afraid to take a stand and stay
with his principles. He is the only candidate Governor
AVest could indorse and be true to himself and Dr. Smith
is not ashamed of tho indorsement.
