Primaries But 5 Weeks Away Liquor Controversy In Forest Grove Pends in Courts (Forest Grove News-Times) Another week will elapse be fore there are any developments in the efforts directed toward re taining the one beer license is sued under the Knox law in For est Grove. Hearing Saturday before Judge Bagley in the circuit court in the appeal of H. T. Giltner, Forest Grove grocer, vs. the Oregon State Liqubr Control commission, resulted in the overruling of the demurrer filed by George Neun er, attorney for the commission, and giving him ten days in which to file an answer to the com plaint. Stepping out of what one of the attorneys termed a “com munity row,” the case promises to develop into a test case of the extent of the powers of the liquor commission to revoke li censes. Neuner in informal presenta tion of the case and argument, stated that the license was pre maturely issued from the Salem office of the commission and sought in vain to have the at torneys for the local grocer agree to this stipulation. Cancellation of the license was due to no viola tion of the law, but rather the result of the efforts of a clerk who believed that he had made a mistake in granting the license. The reasons for the confusion of the employee of the commission resulted from the commission an nouncing the policy, after the lcense had been issued, of being governed by the expressions of public sentiment in local com munities. Lack of the recommen dation of the Forest Grove city council was the reason for can cellation of the license as stated by Neuner in reviewing the situa tion. License Issued March 12 The license was issuel on March 12 and on March 15 the commis sion announced its policy of local setiment, as for example the re commendation or lack of it from the city councils in the communi ties concerned. In towns where BOBBY THATCHER—Oh, Happy Day! there are located institutions of higher learning the commission according to its attorney has in dicated an attitude of being es pecially desirous of being guided1 by prevailing local opinion. W. G. Hare, speaking as one of the attorneys for Giltner, stated that he had been legally licensed, obeyed all regulations and his license could not be cancelled without the commission showing cause and justifying its action by filing an answer to the appeal to the court. VISITS IN PORTLAND Mrs. Paul Thompson went to Portland Thursday returning home Sunday. While in Portland she visited at the home of Mrs. Con nie Anderson.
