for many years, during which time
he was a member of the State
Police located at Clatskanie, Ore

Helens for about six years as
Sergeant of the Columbia County
State Police.
I know him to be a good and
efficient law enforcement officer
and he deserves the support of
all the Democratic Party. I know
he will also receive a good vote
from the Republican Party as he
is well known in this county.

To: The Voters of Columbia Co.
First I wish to thank the
voters for theij support given me
in the Primary Election. Mr.
C. E. Throne, Jr., at that time
received the Democratic nomina

I wish the voters and my sup
porters to know that I am sup

the position of Sheriff of Colum
NEAR EAST, A.D. 33 — The
woman lost a coin that to her
was priceless.
So she hunted,
looked and swept until she found
it. Then she called in her friends
to celebrate. And just so, said
Jesus, there is joy among the
angels when you see yourself
lost to God and then turn.—LUKE
16:10.
Why such joy in heaven when
you turn? It is that God made
you for himself. But you chose
to sin and he lost you. Now it
is for you to say whether he can
have you back. God did his part
in that he sent his Only-Born
Son to bear your sins and suffer
the penalty. Your sins sent
Christ down into the pains of
hell among the murderers, liars,
cheats, unclean and the lost. God
saw the anguish in His soul and-
was satisfied—See Isaiah 63:11.
Your part—Believe God that
your every last sin is cleaned
away—The blood of Jesus Christ
cleanses from all sin—BIBLE.
Possess Christ as Saviour and
God gives you new birth into
eternal life. Then he takes up
to make you new. Ask the home
folks. Now eat the Bible. Live
by prayer. Look utterly to Christ
to see you through. By that you
grow up out of Christian baby
hood.
For scientific management of
natural resources for sustained
yield, fair tax program based
cn ability to pay and for just
l-’bor legislation elect

At issue is a bill (S.B. 99) amending licensing and
acquisition provisions of the Oregon Hydroelectric Com
mission Act. Such an amended Act would permit the
Idaho Power Company to erect a dam on the Snake River
in eastern Oregon under conditions immediately favor
able to it and entirely unfavorable to the long-range
development of hydroelectric power for all Oregonians.
Unless you prevent such an attempt by a NO vote on
November 2, a wise and just law that has been in force
since 1931, and that has protected Oregon’s river resources
for Oregonians, will be changed and weakened to the
point where your fundamental rights will forever be
in jeopardy.

In a scientific» state-wide survey recently completed,
a reliable public-opinion research organization,
which has accurately forecast the results of many
Oregon elections, finds that "a majority of those who
have heard of the measure (liquor-by-the-glass) would
presently vote for its passage!”
This confirms a similar state-wide survey, made last
spring, which found 46% of Oregon’s citizens in
favor of liquor-by-the-glass and 44% insisting on
purchase of liquor by-the-bottle only.
It is a fact that whenever open-minded citizens or
organizations have studied the measure without prior
prejudice, they have found reasons for supporting this
measure and no legitimate reasons for opposing it.
The Retail Trade Bureau of the Portland Chamber
of*Commerce says, in an authorized statement: ’’This
Bureau is on record, through its membership, favor
ing amendment to the Knox Law which would permit
the sale of drinks in hotels and clubs, over the bar.
The reason for our taking this action is the belief that
it would encourage temperance and would not neces
sitate individuals buying a whole bottle and consum
ing it immediately, it an individual drink could be
purchased.”
’
The Oregon State Federation of Labor is on record
with the following resolution: ’’Whereas, the present
system of liquor control in Oregon is not good and
results in imposition of unreasonable regulations
upon citizens who desire to consume alcoholic bev
erages, and, whereas, the sale of alcoholic beverages
in hotels and restaurants and other public places
should be lawful without the possession of club
licenses; therefore it is resolved that the Oregon State
Federation of Labor will join with any other respon
sible groups who initiate the change of the present
law to permit the free and open sale of beverages of
alcoholic content by responsible licensed businesses
without the present cumbersome restrictions.”
On February 21, 1948, Oregon's largest news
paper, The Oregonian, said editorially: ’’The privilege
of buying liquor by-the-drink would be appreciated
by tourists, many of whom complain of the present
system. It would encourage hotels, restaurants and
entertainment clubs to improve their facilities. But
without considering these benefits to business, one
also may hope for a decline in drunkeness in public
places and rapid diminishment of bootlegging if
there is licensing and strict control of legitimate ow
lets for %ale of liquor by-the-drink.”
Seth F. Harper, superintendent of the State Liquor
Dispensary in our neighboring state of Idaho, in a
letter dated August 26, 1948, said: ”1 am certain that
• with the high license and bond, careful state regula
tions regarding the sale of liquor, and a good enforce
ment operation, sale of liquor by-the-drink can be a
decided factor in a temperate regulation of the use of
alcholic beverages.”
,
EVEN ITS FRIENDS WILL ADMIT THE
KNOX LAW IS FAR FROM PERFECTI
C. C. Chapmtn, of The Oregon Voter, has been criti
cal of this measure for reasons of his own, but in the
issue of August 7, 1948, he has this to say: "Oregon’s
Knox Law seemed the best way to compromise be
tween prohibition and the saloon. It has worked out
fairly well. Under it there have been no centers for
drinking of herd liquor except the home, the licenaed
club or the licensed establishment to which the pur
chaser could take his own bottle and have service of
his own liquor. Conditions have not been satisfactory
to anyone, but they have approached a moderate
acceptability.”
i
Io a recent published statement, Mrs. Ruth E.
Tooze, state president of the W.C.T.U., typical of the
organizations working against the liquor-by-the-
glass measure, said: "Let me emphaaize again that the
Oregon Women’a Christian Temperance Union >s
now, aa in the past, opposed to all liquor sales,
whether they are sales by-the-glass, or sales by-the-
bottle through the state liquor control system operat
ing under the Knox law or any other law,”
