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."
