Its cogency depends on one’s attitude toward drinking in public or semi-public places.’’ Actually, this argument is downright silly. 5. The bill is discriminatory because all establish ments which would like to serve liquor by the drink will not be licensed. The City Club report says this argument "is valid only depending upon one’s point o f view. It discriminates against the beer taverns which cannot be licensed under this bill. However, with 277 restaurants (81 in Portland) and 105 clubs (18 in Portland) being potentially eligible to hold dispensing licenses under this proposed bill, your committee feels that the general public will not be discriminated against" The City Club report clarifies the entire issue when it says: "T h e proposed bill would m odify the present Knox Law only to the extent that it substitutes the dispenser's bottle fo r that o f the customer's." Oregon has much to gain and nothing to lose bv improving the Knox Law. W h y require pur chase o f a bottle? Legalize liquor by-the-glass.
