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

Local officers, however, sre without

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."

2. This slaying on the gold is
a tough job, unless everybody
is on it. If you are on the gold
and the rest of the boys re
not, why you change your
money into theirs then demand
it in gold.
Now France is on the gold
and are cookoo. She reads
every morning how mauy mil
lions in gold waa shipped out
the day before. (Just like we
used to be before we went off
the gold) and it's gradually
driving them "nuts."
So it looks like everybody
has either got to be on it, or off
of it. Ton can't play solo,
