THE PROHIBITION SIT­
UATION IN OREGON
By the initiative law of Ore­
gon the opponents of prohibition
have placed upon the 'ballot for
the November election a measure
to repeal the state prohibition
enforcement code, generally
known as the Anderson law. This
is a legislative enactment which
makes effective the constitutional
amendment adopted by the people
of Oregon Nov. 3, 1914, by a ma­
jority of 36,480. This constitu­
tional amendment is not being re­
pealed. By the repeal of the An­
derson law, Oregon would still
have a constitutional provision
prohibiting the sale and manufac­
ture of intoxicating lquor, without
any provision for its enforcement.
The repeal would mean that as
far as Oregon is concerned, the
state would not enforce her own
constitution, which would at once
acconjplish for the state selective
nullificaion and modified seces­
sion. Oregon, of course, will not
want to take such a position.
The measure repealing the pro­
hibition enforcement law specifi­
cally states as its reason for
the repeal as follows: To do away
with prohibition and its enforce­
ment in and by the state of Ore­
gon.
Such a situation can (bring
about only one result. It would
turn loose and invite to the state
a vicious and lawless element.
Without the restraint of the pro­
hibition enforcement law, and
tying the hands of enforcing of­
ficers, racketeering would flour­
ish, and liquor consumption would
greatly increase. Law enforcement
officials would then be powerless
to cope with the situation which
would become intolerable.
It is true we would still be un­
der national prohibition, and the
Volstead law. The federal prohi­
bition department in Oregon
have only about 19 officers avail­
able to police the entire state.
This would be entirely inadequate.
What encouragement would feder­
al officials have in enforcing pro­
hibition in Oregon when we, by
our own vote, repudiate prohibi­
tion enforcement by repealing
our prohibition enforcement code.
It must be noted that the propo­
nents of the repeal offer no sub­
stitute whatever. They simply say
that they want to do away with
prohibition and its enforcement
in and by the state of Oregon.

(Adv.)
We can hardly conceive how any
citizen, independent of his beliefs
or disbeliefs about prohibition, can
vote such a proposition. We be­
lieve that State Senator B. L.
Eddy of Roseburg, who had much
to do with the passoge of the
law to be repealed, states the
situation correctly:
“I would say that the proposal
to repeal the state prohibition law
is -on the face of it a great ab­
surdity, because repeal would
leave the state constitution and
the national constitution in force
as against the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors with­
out any state machinery for en­
forcing the law. I do not see how
any person who realizes that our
government must be a government
by law can so propose to trifle
with an important legislative mat­
ter. We would be in a position of
a state having a general law de­
nouncing all kinds of acts of
crimes, without providing any of­
ficers or courts and penalties to
enforce the general law. No
greater absurdity in the realm of
government could be imagined.
Nothing but confusion, law vio­
lation and general disrespect for
law could result. This, of course,
must be the secret purpose and
desire of those who are backing
the repeal measure.”
