East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-22

1t Is the avowed object Of the pro-
hlbltionists to wipe out the liquor
business of Pendleton and Umatilla
county at the June election. We be,
lleve but few people, even the liquor
men themselves, have a very clear
conception OF what that means, and
we doubt II many Of the business men
and taxpayers realize what proper
tlon OF Pendleton's financial life
would be affected by prohibition.
For the purpose OF giving exact
facts and figures pertaining to the
liquor business OF Pendleton. a COM
plete census has been taken of the
saloons OF this city-of the number of
people employed and the number de-
pending upon the liquor business for
a living, and the amount Of money
the liquor people spend in the city
each year. These figures have been
given us by proprletors at our request
and we have every reason to believe
they are correct. In fact We know
they are correct or else we would
not publish them.
We find 26 licensed saloons and one
brewery in the city, 263 people re-
ceive living, 9S Of whom are en-
ployes at an average OF about 371
per month There are 81 families; Is
of these families live in their own
homes. and 36 in rented houses. By
this we see about 3 per cent Of our
population are directly dependent up
on the liquor business for a livelihood.
The actual cost Of the necessities OF
these 263 people, for year, figuring
at $40 per month each, would
amount to s94,6S0. But let us give
you the figures In tabular form, so
they may be more comprehensive,

near or immediate future. It Is un'
reasonable TO suppose or presume thai
these people, IL forced out of en-
ployment and business by prohibition
could go into any other lines of busi-
ness or find employment here. BY
leaving the city they will greatly re-
duce the business of all lines.
Pendleton is proud of the reputa-
tion of having the best regulated sa-
looms Of any town in the state. We
all know that you cannot compel peo-
pie from drinking liquor by ABOLISH
ing the saloons. They who want 1t
will continue to get 1t and drink it.
We believe in the saloons, and think
the majority Of the better thinking
people and especially the business men
believe in the saloon of the right sort.
That there has been too great guam
tity Of liquor consumed for the men
tai and moral welfare of the country
we know. The total abolition of the
saloon and the prohibiting of the sale
Of liquors will not stop drinking. The
cost cuts no figure with the thirsty.
They who desire 1t will have It, The
only sane and civilized way to settle
the saloon and liquor question is to
settle 1t in the same way that all great
debatable questions should be settled
by arbitration and compromise.
Keep the saloon because 1t is
something that modern society wants
and is willing to support. Eradicate
the obnoxious saloon by stringent laws
and license, and thus make the sa-
loon business one not to be ashamed
of, for then none but men Of moral
worth and reputation could run sa-
loon. Then the saloon proprietor
could be as he should be, but as many
are not now, a business man among
business men, all working cooperative
ly for the betterment and upbuilding
of the community in which they are
and should be a part. Such regula-
tion is within the power of the city
government, and such regulation
would be gladly received by the better
class Of men now in the liquor busi-
ness.
VIII Reduce City's Income.
Prohibition will reduce the cIty's
income over $4,000 annually. The
official records of the city recorders
office, for last year, show the follow
ing receipts and disbursements:

The abolition of the liquor business
in Pendleton would mean that about
thirty store rooms would be left va
cant, that about 800 people, including
40 or so families, would be forced to
leave the city or go into some other
business. What business could they
go into here? We know that nearly
all lines Of mercantile business are
as numerous as the population OF the
city anr the inevitable law Of competi-
ton and cause and effect will permit.
Competition in all retail lines Is al,
ready heavy and that during the last
year few firms quit bushes includ-
ing two grocery stores, a meat market,
a tailor shop, a printing office, two
furniture stores and bakery. At the
present time one of our large depart
ment stores and a music store are
contemplating to quit business in the
