RAY D. FISHER, Editor and Publisher ► A SAD CONFESSION Beer of moderate alcoholic content may have its ad- vantages as a revenue measure, and as a substitute for vile bootleg and high-powered home brew, but all will not be suds, pretzels and innocent joy if necessary regulatory measures resolved upon are to evaporate into the spring sunshine. -1 Already there are indications in some places of the danger of the same break down of respect for law and order that was charged against prohibition. In Astoria, for example, the beer ordinance specifies that licenses should not be granted persons who are not citizens, per sons who have previous records of liquor violation con victions, and only to persons of good moral character. The Astorian-Budget, in reporting the council meeting for Monday, stated, “To make the matter right the council has granted four or five licenses to persons with previous convictions for liquor law violations; to at least one non citizen;” and also to proprietors of several rooming houses of ill repute. Concerning the latter places the chief of police commented that there was no law to prevent them from possessing beer, and that they would sell it anyway, with no way of proving sale on part of the police except by “hiring a flock of stool pigeons.” Thus it goes—a resolve to curb the sale of liquor is followed by a feeling that liquor will be sold anyway, and then comes permission to do that which the authorities feel themselves powerless to prevent. It is a sad confes- sion that government makes when it decrees itself impo- tent to do that which it believes it ought to do. If a city government—in Astoria or anywhere else—has no respect for itself, how can it expect others to have respect for it? Beer regulations (or any other for that matter) if wisely conceived should be enforced. If unwisely conceived they should be amended, and lived up to as revised.

This is due, of course, to their nature. A certain standard of service must be provided whether business is good or bad. Too, we have become so accustomed to freely using electricity and gas that these are among the last things we conserve on. As a result, the utilities have been able to maintain remarkable stability. This means a great deal to the nation. If there were more such industries, our depression would have been a great deal less severe. Those who would destroy the industry, or cripple it with excessively strin gent laws, Should thing the problem over again carefully.
