demonilrated the exquisite quality of Old Taylor as America's accept-

edly foremost fine beverage whiskey.

A great fortune has been expended on this exquisite beverage quality One-Half Block 40 Market St.

to give Old Taylor its Nation-wide distribution under the Government's From Ferry

green guarantee stamp, and our own unique Yellow Label. This distinc-
tive label is the only Yellow Streak in the whole Taylor make up.

Under this green stamp of our Great government, and the Yellow

label of this conservatively progressive Corporation, more than Thir-

the markets as sacredly guaranteed as the coin of the Realm.

Who uses it once wants it always. Each generation prefers it.

sible expense.

The cost of living is increasing. When it increases to a point

at which the employees of the Steel Trust are unable to live, as they
have been accustomed to living, they will demand an increase in
wages. If the Steel Trust can force its employees to save the few
dollars that they have been spending for alcoholic beverages it can
]X)stpone the time when wages must be raised. That is the motive.

If this experiment is successful what is to prevent the trust from
issuing an order forbidding its employees to marry until they are,
say thirty-five? This would enable them to live on less wages un-

til that time. Or, why not issue an order based on the alleged effi-
ciency of the rice eating Japanese, forbidding the use of meat more

than once a week? This would decrease the cost of living and
make an increase in wages unnecessary. It might even be possible
to decrease them slightly.

Was the human race mistaken when they fought for centuries to
throw off the servile yoke of feudalism? Are we now to admit
that we were mistaken and voluntarily embrace the chains of

slavery? If it is not slavery to give the employer the right to dic-

tate how the employee shall spend that portion of his time that is
his own, we do not know the meaning of the word.

Following the example set by the Carnegie Steel Company the
.American Sheet and Tin Plate Company notified all employes that

they must withdraw from fraternal organizations and clubs which
maintain sideboards or cease to work in the company's plants. They

are also prohibited from indorsing liquor license applications. This

order affects the employes at all plants of the company throughout
the country. The men have not taken kindly to the new order of
things, which they declare is a sharp curtailment of their personal
liberties. Upward of 6.000 men are affected by the order in this
region. The company has a list of employes who are members of
the various clubs having sideboards. It is said that the men have
only been given a few days to comply with the order.

In his address Father Murphy said

"I have lived in a prohibition State and I know well enough that it
makes hypocrites and sneaks. If men are to be deceitful in one thing they

will be in others.

"Today I am not speaking as a Catholic priest, but as a citizen. You
can't force men to be temperate and virtuous, but you can lead them. Every

one of our churches has its temperance society to perform this service.

"Man has a God-given right to drink. The voters of Oregon have no
more right to take the privileges of drink away from a man that they have
to prevent him from eating meat or other commodities. Liquors are for
us to use, not to abuse, and it is the abuse that we must fight."

After paying a tribute to Mrs. Duniway and the cause of woman's suf-
frage, William Hanley assailed prohibition on the ground that it infringed
upon personal liberties.

At the close of the meeting the following resolution . was adopted,
amidst applause and without a dissenting voice:

"Whereas, There have arisen in these latter days many examples of

proposed legislation, which, if not checkmated by the votes of resident

taxpaying and wage-earning men and women whose personal liberties are

being invaded by irresponsible agitators, designing politicians and imprac-

tical resident theorists; and,

"Whereas, The burden of Government must be met and sustaned by
our homebuildcrs and homekeepers, who pay the taxes to support the
Government; and,

"Whereas, The agitation now running rampant through the State and
nation unsettles values, disturbs commerce and will, if not checkmated by
the votes of the people who bear the burdens of Government, throw many

thousands of wage-earners out of employment, in the alleged interest of
a comparatively few irresponsible inebriates; therefore,

"Resolved. That we. the taxpaying and wage-earning citizens of the
State of Oregon, do hereby covenant to register and vote to maintain and
support our present industrial conditions; and we call upon every man and

woman in the State of Oregon to register and vote in the interest of stable

government in opposition to freak legislation."

As a consequence of the ruHng of the Supreme Court of Idaho
one-third of Lewis County, including the towns of Forest and Mor-

row, is placed in the wet column. The action is a result of an in-

junction issued by Judge Budge, on the application of the trustees

of American Falls, to prevent the operation of a saloon on the

grounds that it would be a public nuisance.

"It must be remembered that the wine grape growers are not

War Tax in Time of Peace.

DURING the past month the United States Government took measures to raise $105,000,000 to meet the deficit in the treasury
which the Administration claims is due to a falling off in importations since the outbreak of war in Europe. Although a
deficit of $47,000,000 was in sight before there were any prospects of a conflict in Europe, the Administration has thought it
fit to refer to its new method of obtaining revenue as a "war tax." Moreover, those in power in Washington have devised their
revenue bill so as to place a burden on the State of California out of all proportion with what is allotted to other States. Curiously
enough, the wine industry has been singled out to bear as heavy" a weight of the new tax as it could be possibly be made to bear.
It is the only agricultural industry in the United States that has been made subject to the tax. Yet the wine industry is a very small
factor in the agricultural industry of the nation and it already pays its just proportion of taxes to the United States Government.
It is only too true that the wine growers, while steadily developing their industrj^, have had a hard struggle and it has been only
this year that they have had fair prospects of being rewarded for years of hard toil and worry. One of the choice arguments of Pro-
hibitionists in California has been that wine grovsnng does not pay and, therefore, the wine growers should be put out of business.
In the face of all these facts those who control in Washington propose to levy an exorbitant tax on the wine industry. The policy of
the revenue-seekers is nothing short of confiscatory as far as their attitude toward the wine industry is concerned. It is so much on
the same line as the policy of the Prohibitionists in California that reasonable people in this State are aptly led to believe that the
cohorts of Bryan, Burleson, Daniels and Hobson, having been advised that their Prohibition brethren in California are in danger of
being routed in the present State-wide campaign, have planned an attack from the East for the purpose of assisting the foes who have
been invading this State from Kansas. At all events, the wine industry of California finds itself under two fires. It faces the danger of
confiscation either by prohibition or the "war tax."

So the choice is not between immediate or gradual extinction of

will, by the votes of other communities. It is, of course, perfectly plain
PROPRIETORS
that prohibition, in such communities, does not establish itself by mere
vote. The vote is only the signal for a long, slow fight to enforce pro-

hibition on those communities, not by outside votes, but by imported

force. Their own authorities will not enforce it. They will openly defy
it. Then there will be State constabularies, or some other method of
enforcing this law over the heads and against the wills of those who

—normally enforce other laws. Finally, after many vears probably at
—least twenty-five if the majority of the people of the State never change

their minds, if they are determined enough and persistent enough, if they
are bitter enough and careless enough of the bitterness in the invaded

communities, force and education combined may at least accomplish a

reasonable enforcement of the law in San Francisco and like places.

In the interval, there will have been constant fighting, with drunk-

enness not much lessened, with the law defied and brought into con-

tempt, with all co-operation on other issues for the betterment of gov-

—ernmeiit and morals and social conditions made impossible and the

final victory won no sooner than is likely to be won anyway by the
present more peaceful, more just and more rational method.

This applies merely to the saloon aspect of the question, from the

standpoint of those who desire the abolition of the saloon and related
evils at the earliest possible moment. F'ven from this standpoint the

present law will accomplish the result as soon as a State-wide prohi-
bition law, and will provide an infinitely preferable situation meantime.

There is another aspect worth considering. This proposed law pro-

hibits not merely the sale and distribution, but th« manufacture, of all

alcoholic beverages, including wine. Nature has given California a mo-
