WAITS LIQUOR BILL Officers Must Have State Legislation Before Action 20 Places Dispense Drinks Now Is Estimate When the repeal of prohibition Is ratified tomorrow It's not going to make many changca ln the painting of Jackson county's liquor picture. There won't be many camels coming ln to drink. For most of the thirsts are already temporarily quenched. If the word of those "allegedly ln the know" Is to be accepted. They claim ln the neighborhood of 20 places are now dispensing liquors, about seven of them In Medford. Changea ln the liquor situation here are entirely dependent upon the waving of the magic wand ln Salem. Action by the Oregon legislature, and that alone, offlcera atated today, can bring about the destred reform. Will Enforce Law. When the law Is passed (Knox bill or whatever It happens to be) District Attorney George codding stated this morning, he's going to call ln the offlcera and give them Instructions to enforce the law to thi letter. If It calls for the closing of rosdhouses and the numerous other places, where dispensing ranges from flask to bar rel lots, they will be closed. The bone of contention at present Is: "Where will liquor be sold?" and until the legislature comes to some decision regarding that matter, It would be futile for offlcera here to start calculating on future action. District Attorney Codding, Sheriff Walter Olmscheid, Cspt. Lee M. Bown of the state police snd City Police Chief Clstous MoCredle pointed out today. Waiting Orders. They are awaiting orders from head quarters, and hoping that some def inite provision for enforcement will accompany It, whatever bill of con trol wins. Should the Knox bill, as It la now understood, be pssed, all the "speak easies" now operating would have to cease or chsnge their bill of fare. Should ssle of hsrd liquor with meals be permitted, however, a num ber would undoubtedly slide Into the restaurant classification to keep the whlskev stream flowing. Although the rumor was strong about the city toaay that liquor lists made ther appearance last week and that "Imported stun" wouia oe roil ing ln this week. Sheriff Olmscheid ssld he expected little change ln con ditions to result from ratification. "It would be difficult for them to drink more than they're drinking now." the sheriff declared. Must Be Cheap. A reasonable price on the legal product is highly desirable, Mr. Cod ding stated, from the atandpolnt "of law enforcement, for If the drlnts come too high, officers fear It will be much more difficult to force the boot leggers out ol business, as public sentiment would continue to be on bis aide. Moonshine Is now selling for 3 to 9 a gallon In Medford. The mini mum price for "tair drink" is now 50 cents a pint. Imported liquor, It wa. understood today, will be selling here, this week through the drug store chsnnel at 34 a gallon. Blended prescription whiskey costs 1.15 a pint at drug stores. Theer are few people who can pay 34 a gallon for liquor. There are few people who will psy more then 1.75 . qusrt, when tney know what the bootlegger sold It for. and that he Is still wsiting around some place. Before prohibition, bar whiskey was priced at S1.50 a quart. Barrel whiskey sold for US a quart, the old timers state, maintaining that 1 plenty for "times like these." All Depends on Ijiw. Up to date little hss been said re garding the enforcement of the law. and officers today refused to make any predictions regarding additional aldea and additional funds. "It will depend." they Insisted, "upon the wording of the law." Sheriff Olmscheid now has one deputy in his office. City police are operating with a minimum force, and no provision hss been made for put ting additional men on the atste po lice etafr. Should additional ones be put on, CsptaJn Bown ssld todsy, In creased revenue would have to be provided. He added that there was no assurance that the state police would have anything to do with it Where liquor atorea will be located. If adopted. wlU be determined by the commission of three, suggested In the Knox bill. If It is passed. The federsl revenue law atlll on the books could easily care for the lllegsl manufacture of moonshine. It could ha during thl period, too. had there been anv move to enforce It Local officers, however, sre without a law under which to operate, beyond arrests for drunken driving and dis orderly conduct.

DISMISS CEMENT PLAINT IS ADVICE OF ICC EXAMINER WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. (AP) Ex aminer J. Edgar Smith proposed to the interstate commerce commission today It dismiss the complaint of the ' Beaver Brookland Cement company against the California Central Rail- I road company. It challenged the equity of the combination coastal oceanic rates and freight rates along the western coast. The complaint alleged unequal commercial competition ln Oregon nnd Washington between cements produced locally and water borne ce ment In California. Smith argued that such matters were beyond the Jurisdiction of the commission, and Inasmuch as no claim had been made by the complaining party over In equalities of rail charges the case should not be treated aa a commission matter. Smith said cement produced by the Beaver Portland Cement company and its associates in Oregon snd Washington, -meets keen competition there from cement produced in Cali fornia, but shipped in to the North ern Pacific ptatcs from California by boats.: .-, " The complaining cement manufac turers Include Oold Hill, Oswego, and Lime, ln Oregon. The cement companies told th ex aminer they were unable to compete with companies as far away as Cali fornia because the California com panies were able to move their pro ducts by rail to Los Angeles harbor and San Francisco bay and thence by cheap vessels to Portland and Se attle. "This commission," said Smith, "has no Jurisdiction over rates, charges, and practices of the steamer lines transporting cement from Cali fornia ports to Portland and Seattle. It has Jurisdiction over the trans shipment rates here In lasue: there Is no allegation of unreasonableness ln any rate of charge here brought to our attention."
