to the county. Applying to Tillamook
City, the city would have nothing to
say whatever as to the nrosecution of
the case, nor would it receive any part
of the lines which mii;ht le collected.
If the vote is against prohibition,
then the local option law does not
ailed the situation in any way what
ever, because, in that case, it neither
licenses the Jale of liquor nor prohibits
It. In other words the local option law
is not put into effect in the locality
unless there is a vote for prohibition,
nnd as in the case of Tillamook city nt
this time, under the local option law,
the prohibition of the sale of liquor is
a matter left exclusively in the hands
of Tillamook city tu govern.
Tho election to be held next Tuesday
Is one for the amendment of the City
Charter a provision that the snle of
liquor in Tillamook City shall be un
lawful. Such a provision miht have
been enacted by the city at any time
while tho local option law was in effect
in the city, because the Supreme Court
has expressly held that the fact that
the state makes certain thinRS n crime
does not prevent a city from also pro
hibitinK the same things by ordinance,
nnd punishing a violation of the ordi
nance, and n conviction in the city
court does not prevent a prosecution in
the state court for the same net.
The Supremo Court has held in the
only cases thut havo been befotti It,
that where a city Is in a dry county
under the local option law, or was in
1910, that that law is in effect until an
other election is held under the local
option law, which results in a majority
vote Bgalnst prohibition. This makes
the city subject to the provisions of
the loci I option law, that is, tl.o city
cannot license the sale of liquor while
it Is prohibited by tho terms of the
local option law.
The local option law is a state affair.
Tho amendment of the City Charter Is
a city affulr. Tho two are separate and
dlktinct. nnd the confusion that has
arisen in this case has been by reason
of the fact that tho attorneys and the
legal editor of tho Headlight have not
grasped this distinction.
The claim that the city eannot act in
this matter at this time is one that is
put up by the saloon keepers and their
henchmen for the purpose of confusing
the people of the city and inducing
them to vote in favor of saloons. There
is absolutely no foundation for any such
claims as they muke, and the people of
Tillamook City may rest assured
thiit this matter is in their hands. If
they want saloans of course they ran,
by their vote, say so; but if ihey do
tho not want them the opportunity ia be
fore thorn to vote against them on next
Tuesday, and If lha charter amend
ment carries the aloon will be sub
ject to and will obey the provUions of
that amendment, which will clo them
April 1st.
I feel that I may be showing a good
deal of boldness to disagree with the
position taken by the legal luminary
who edit the Headlight, but I feel so
well fltured of my position in the mat
ter that I am willing to take the chan
ce of doing till, even in opposition to
hi distinguished views.
I might suggest further, that the
fact that the editor of the Headlight is
not a resident of Tillamook City might
make it cem a matter of propriety
that he should not attempt to inter
fere so much in local affairs of the
city when he has no voice in the mat
ter when it come to electing officers
or making Improvements for the City.
1 would like to say a word Io as to
the bugaboo that is being put forward,
that if the city votes the saloon cut
there will be gallon houses established
jutt outside of the city limit Now,
the onlv way in whl'h such houies can
be run under the law will be for them
to petition the county court for lisence,
and they must have a majority of the
voters in the precinct sign their peti
tion. It may have escaped the atten
tion of some of these people that the
people of Tillamook City live in the
two precincts of Tillamook and Ho
quarton, and these are the two pre
cinct! which adjoin Tillamook City as
well, nnd where these gallon houses
would have to be located if they were
put next to the city limits. It wuuld
seem very' likely that if the people of
Tillamxk Ciiy vote to shut out the
saloons from their midst, that the
saloon men will not get a majority of
them to sign their petition, let alone
getting a majority of the people living
in the country in these precincts to sign
as well. Possibly Brother Baker
would be willing to sign a petition for
a saloon In his precinct, and passibly
his neighbors would be willing to do
the same thing, but I very much doubt
t.
Since writing the rirst part of this
etter I have been in communication
with the Attorney General's office in
regard to the telegram which Mr.
Claus4en received, and assured that the
telegram sent to Mr. Claussen had no
application to the matter of the city
controlling the liquor business as n
city proposition in any way it saw fit,
ami this has been confirmed by the
following telegram:
Salem, Oregon, Jan. 10, '13.
II. T. Botts.
Tillamook, Oregon.
City is not prevented by local option
law prohibiting sale of liquor by ordi
nance or charter amendment. Home
Rule Amendment gives city exclusive
right to control sale of liquor subject
only to locnl option law and does not
interfere with prohibition by city.
A. M. Crawford,
Atty. Gen.
Those who hae been relying on the
authority of the Attorney-General, a
holJiog illegal our coming election,
may now see that this foundation is
swept from under them, leaving the
square issue to be settled by us next
Tuesday of licensed saloons, or no sa
loons. H. T. Botts.
THINKS COST OF LIVING
WILL TAKE DROP.
SOON
Chicago Evening Post:
"1 believe the high cost of living
bugaboo will have disappeared two
years from now."
Such was the declaration of Daniel
O. Lively, chief of the live stock de
partment of the Panama-Pucitk Expo
sition, in the course of a discussion at
the International live stock show today.
"This country is going to see wonders
worked by the farmers and live stock
raisers within the next few years," he
said. "Everywhere 1 go and every
thing I hear indicates that wo are on
the threshold of an era of great pros
perity." Mr. Lively blames tho underproduc
tion of eattle for the present condition
of living costs. Ho said tho bulk of
western lands arc best fitted for stock
graxingand that the farmer sold his
birthright for a mess of cold turkey
when he turned from the splendid beef
production of the old days to raising
grain.
"The production of live stock is going
to grow in leaps and hounds for the
reason that the farmer and email ranch
er finally havo realiied tho profit there
is in raising live stock -especially as
contrasted against truck farming," he
continued. "The generous prices paid

PORT OF NEHALEM PROFFER IS
MADE.
Washington, Jan. 4. Senator Bourne
accompanied Frank A. Rowe, treasurer
of the Port of Nehatem, to the war de
partment today to urge the acceptance
of a proffer of $235,000 toward jetty
work. Secretary of War Stimson said
he would give a decision in a few days
as to the sufficiency of the guarantee,
Mr. Rowe says he has sold enough
bonds in Ohio to guarantee the pay
ment promised by the Port of Nehalcm
on harbor work the $613,000 project
reccommended by the board of engin
eers, and on .which the initial appro
priation has been made.
CHINES:
LABOR IS MENACE TO
WORLD.
Pitsburg. Pa., Jan. 4. The Rev.
Frank W. Bible, a missionary at Han
kow, China, told a gathering at the
Kenmawr Hotel that iron made in Han
kow can be shipped to Brooklyn and
from there to Buffalo by rail and sold
at less than Pittsburg iron, and that it
can be shipped to Toronto cheaper than
it can be made in Canada. He says
that only the white light of Christian
ity can keep China from overrunning
the world.
"To show you what these people
really are and there are 400,000,000 of
them," he said, "the revolution was
the quickest and least bloody of any
similar political movement involving
so many people, that the world haa
ever seen."
"The time has come," he continued,
"It is tho biggest crisis and the great
est opportunity that ever confronted
tho Christian religion. Yuan Shi Kai
has asked the missionaries' aid and has
given them and all the Europeans relig
ious freedom.
"A Chinese coal miner gets 5 cents a
day. China's resources are greater
than ours, her brain power equal. How
arc wc going to offset this? My child
ren and your children will pay the pen
alty if we do not take religion to the
Chinese and lift him, so that he will
not work for 5 cents a day. That ia
the solution."
for stock in the open market, combined
with the work of the agricultural col
leges toward this end, has helped con
vince the farmer that he'd better
change and reap this new field. Two
years will see the West back at its old
game of cattle raising and perhaps
the old-style cowboy may come back,
too."
