THE KLAMATH NEWS PAGE TWO .WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 21. 1931 SWEDISH STATE LIQUOR PLAN IS OUTLINE! Pereral Members Hoover' Corrunisiion Favor Plan For' United State Editor'! Note: Several members of ita Wlckersham roninitemou suggest. In annexes to the rum tmKsion a report oa . prohibition, ihm a modllnation of the Swed- I I mat liquor control plan might he feasible for the United Mate. A lrripiioa of the Swedish plan follows: NEW YORK. Jan. !. (IT) The sal and distribution of liquor in Sweden has been regulated for the past 10 years by a semi-offi cial company which handles the entire prohibition problem. The government adopted the system aa outlined by Dr. Iran Bratt. ' The Bratt system works, brief ly, aa follows: The semi-official company (known as Vin Spiriteeniralen) is privately organised, with share holders, but the government ap points majority of its board of control. The government also Barnes Its managing director and half Its auditors. COVPAVY 8ELL8 The aale of alcoholic beverage to the public is in the hands of ompenlee, of which there are W16. Each controls a aeparate district. These companies estab Sleh stores at which liquor may be purchased for home consumption t not drank on the premises. Liquor by the bottle cannot be purchased anywhere else. They also aeparate restaurants at wheih liquor may be purchased, and sell liquor to other restaurants and hotels, where It may be aerred only under the supervision and regulation ot the company. These companies are also prirately or ganised by county and municipal authorities name three ot the lire members of their boards. I Shareholders' proflu in the wholesale company and In all the (retail companies are limited to S Iper cent. All profits above that Hgur go to the government. It as estimated that the Swedish gov ernment averages about J25.000, 0 a year from this source about one-fifth ot the total an nua (.revenue. JDRIXK AT HOME As a result of this Bratt sys tem, nine-tenths of the liquor drinking is done in the home. In order to buy liquor In Sweden for Home consumption it is necessary to have a pass book Issued by the local companies, as noted above. To obtain a pass book one applies to the office of the company in the district In which he lives. He la given a questionnaire to ans Vr. The applicant must not only live his name and address, occu pation, date and place ot birth, but hs must also go thoroughly Into the social aspects of bis life. He must tell how many persons there are in his family, if any. his Income and whether or not he pays taxes. He must tell the sixe of his house ar.d whether or not he has received charitable aid. He must tell whether he has ever been arrested, particularly wheth er he has ever been arrested for drunkenness or any crime In which liquor figured. JirsT DE 28 . The answers are Investigated thoroughly. It the applicant's record stands, he is in a position to receive a pass book. No youth under 28 years ot age can get a nasa book. Swedish eitiiens are strictly regulated even with a pass book. None may buy more than four liters (about 4 quarts) of hard liquor a month. Officials point out this represents whst the av erage law-abiding working man drank before the law was put in to effect. But not every man may be allowed to buy that much. The authorities affix a maximum ac cording to a man's income, his de pendents and other considera tions. Women are never allowed more than two liters a month. A wife never receives a pass book it her husband has one, and Tic verts, BPYS IX ONE PLACE The holder Is a-slgned a com pany store nearest bis home. This store Is the only place in which he may buy liquor. He must pro duce his pass book every time he buys a bottle. The restrictions apply only to hard liquor. The holder of a passbook may buy ail the light wines and beer he desires. How ever, a close watch Is kept on this consumption and if the authori ties feel a man is om-iu"'s" too frequently, action may be taken. They have the right to revoke the pass book at any time. On the other hand, if the holder of a book is giving a party and feels he should have more liquor he will be permitted to make ex tra purchases. LIMIT PURCHASE No liquor may be bought be fore noon in publlo houses. From 13 until i P. in. small quantities may be bought at the restaurants designated hv the companies, and tha quantities are larger as the day progresses. But the limit of one customer Is three drinks of five centiliters each equivalent to about throe normal drinks of whiskey. None of these hard drinks, however, may bo pur chased unless hot food is also served at the same time, to the extent ot about a 40-cent meal. Wines and beer may be served lu hotels and restaurants without restriction. Tut a hotel or res taurant keeper is allotted only so much wine and beer a month on which he may make a profit. All over that he makes nothing, hence h does not encourage his custo mer to drink. Lack of the systematic brushing which our mothers and grand mothers gave their long tresses is said to he responsible for young women of today having gray hai' I iva years earlier than their moth er and ten years earlier than their grandmothers. s x -I The large storage tanks and the plant of the Natural Gas corporation of Oregon located on South Kiversld street in what was form erly LinkTille, the earliest business and residence district In what is now Klamath Falls Otflria'.s of the company and Interested eittxena are shown viewing the new plant where the opening ceremonies will he held Thursday at noon.
