2. The passage of this bill will lead to the return
of wide open drinking throughout the state. A
further possibility is the eventual breakdown
of the Knox Law and complete revulsion by
the public who would then hasten to dry up
the state through local option elections.

The City Club report says this argument "is
not based on fact. A careful search o f the local
option laws in the various states fails to show
any correlation between the method of dispens

The City Club report says "this argument is
advanced by nearly all the dry forces. 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.
