ArFDPCYRT "MATE TRIBUNE. METVFORT). OREGON:. TTTRRDAT. RTTTTftrRER 12, 1P3S. ') CALIFORNIA GULPS 'BEEP' AS BALLOT ON LIOUPENDS Many Subterfuges Are Used to Evade Law Against Signs Advertising Beer in Too Large Letters SAN FRANCISCO (API Tlursty O&UfomJans are downing "Deep" In "puffets" while the state prepares to go to the polls to decide what to do about the drinking situation. Those who wish to put their toot on the rail as they wet their palates must look not only for signs of "beep" but also for "b r" or "bees on draught," for It's against the law to advertise beer In letters more than six Inches high. Moreover, the word "saloon," ac cording to state statute, does not exist and you can camouflage drink ing places but not with such every day euphemisms as tavern. Inn, or buffet. "Bona Fides" Sprouted When California Joined the rush of states to legalize liquor sales by the drink and package, the enabling leg islation prohibited the use of the word saloon and confined single drink sales to borja fide cafes, where no beer or stronger drink could be served without food. Enforcement was placed In the hands of the state board of equalization. "Bona fide" drinking places sprout ed overnight with rubber sandwfches the principal appetizer. Signs from a foot to a yard high began appear ing on the streets shouting that "beer-wine-whlskey" were Inside with mention of food in dully pslnt ed letters. The board of equalization saw an unprecedented growth of eating es tablishments and decided beer or stronger drinks could not be men tioned in letters more than six Inches high. Shortly thereafter it ruled that tavern. Inn, buffet, etc., were not proper words to bang In lights In front of drinking empor iums. The result? Gaudy Illuminated signs spell out "cave," "avern," "tab era," "cavern," "peer-sandwiches," "nn," "cuffet," "puffet." Some of the places are more orth odox about It and merely put up the name of the host, or a symbolic fig ure. But they are In the minority. California, characterized by Its anti-saloon league as the "wettest state In the union," will have three choices at the polls In November. Tbree Choices One Is a proposal by the United Dry Forces of California to writs local option Into the state constitution. An opposing body of opinion, oper ating chiefly through the Southern California Businessmen's association, is submitting an amendment tighten ing up liquor regulation but not per mitting local option. "Citizens In very community should have access to legal liquor," the association con tends. Or, the voters may choose to reject both amendments and retain the present set-up which, with minor exceptions, permits any kind of liquor establishment to operate any where. The 31 organizations making up the United Dry Forces disclaim any Immediate hope of statewide prohi bition. They insist, however, that dry sentiment communities should be dry In fact and hence that local option would be merely "fair play." WHO'S LAUGHING NOW,' VIC ASKS Victor A, Meyers, Seattle night club maestro and orchestra leader, dolled himself up In an oldtime bandsman's uniform to demonstrate what "harmony will do in a political campaign." Unofficial returns Indicated he would poll 100,000 votes for the Democratic renominatlon tor lieutenant governor of Washington state.
