APPEAL TU VOTERS BY
TEMPERANCE PEOPLE
The Proposed Amendment to
the Local Option Law
a Misnomer.

To the Voters of Josephine county and
vicinity
A bill to be submitted to the legal
electors of the state of Oregon for
their approval or rejection at the re-
gular election to be held on the 4tb
day of June. To propose, by initia-
tive petition, law to amend section
l and to repeal sections 2, 3, 4, 8, 8,
Z, s, 8, 10, IL, 12, 13, IA, 10, l6, II,
and IS of our present Local Option
Lliqor Law, which was enacted by
the people of the State of Oregon,
under an initiative petition by vote
and election held at the general cleo
ton in June 1904. brings this great
state to another crisis in its moral
life The question which we are
asked to vote upon the official ballot
is For amendmnt to the Local OPP
tion Law giving anti-prohibitionists
and prohibitionists equal privileges.
Vot Yes, or No." That is what the
ballot says, but the bill says in its in
PRODUCTION it is A Bill to propose by
initiative petition, a law to amend
section l." That is all the amend
ment there is according to their own
statement of the proposed amend
ment. The bill continues thus: "and
to repeal-notice, repeal, not amend
sections ?, 3, 4, 8, 8, Z, s, 8, 10. II. l2
l3, IA, 10, l6, II and 49,"
Section l, which they want amended
reads in the original, wherever 10 per
cent OF the legal voters of any precinct,
township, or group of precincts or
county shall petition the county
court of any county for the privilege
to determine whether intoxicants
should be sold as a beverage or pro-
hibited in said district. The amend
ment reads whenever 30 per cent of
the qualified electors of any precinct
precinct only-shall petition said
county court. " This amends the
present la to require 30 per cent of the
voters instead of 10 per cent and this
only for a precinct The 10 per cent
they claim is too low a percentage
which enables a small number of men
to keep the liquor agitation before the
people all the time. This percentage
they claim is unjust. But let us see
the constitutional amendment which
permits the liquor interests TO submit
this amendment to vote of the peo-
/ pie requires only per cent while .
per cent can order an election under
the referendum in all matters but
local option. Why in the name Of fair
play, do theJ increase the required
number TO from four to six times the
number required in other elections?
The present law makes it difficult
for the druggist to sell liquor in a
"dry' precinct or county, but the re.
peal says "the Doctors prescriptions
shall not be used but once.
The Courier Of last week gave the
other points concerning this proposed
measure. The saloon is recognized &c
be gigantic evil and the most dan
gerous source Of political corruption
in any state. Its power must be- cur
tailed, feathers and all Let every
high minded citizen vote 30j X No
Let every man WHO voted yes tn,
other time on this Local Option Law
vote 305 y No. b. o. O.
