HOPGROWERS BATTLING
FOR THEIR EXISTENCE
Meeting of 100 Held at independence
Saturday to Perfect Organization
for Fighting Prohibition.
RESULT OF "oREGoN Dry
WOULD BE NATION WIDE
Presbyterian Minister Declares He Has
Been Converted to zee That
Prohibition is Wrong.

More than 400 hopgrowers of the val
ley gathered at Independence Saturday
to perfect an organization for the pur.
pose of protecting their industry, and
this means incidentally to oppose pro-
hibition.
1t was stated that it was not the
purpose to fight the battles of the sa'
loon, but to fight for existance and to
prevent their industry being ruined.
The position taken by the growers can
best be shown by what thoy said, the
reasons advanced by them, and the
showing made. The question resolved
itself into this: "Can the state of
Oregon afford to destroy an industry
that yields $6,O00,O0U annually to the
statei"
C. A. Mclaughlin, of Independence,
wGs elected chairman of the Polk cOun-
ty division, and all growers of the dis
trict were enrolled as members of the
association.
James R. Linn, of Salem, said the
hop dealers and growers hoped to win
through an educational campaign. He
declared the industry was the greatest
employer of the poor in the cities. He
said $1,500,000 was paid out last year
in the state to the hop pickers alone,
and almost that much more for labor
in growing the hops. He asked if the
laborers of the state could spare the

necessary to take the boat off of the

within short time, but present indi-
cations are that it will be able to make

Prosperity is Threatened"
Mr.. Linn said:

"Hop prices have been good, new
homes have been built, old ones repair
ed. We are enjoying an era of pros.
perity which is threatened with des-
truction. Should the state go dry, this
community will be if.cparably injured.
Should the nation 60 dry, our business
is destroyed, our investments in our
hop houses and plants ere absolutely
worthless.
"We are not fighting the battles of
the saloons We have laws enough to-
day, which, if enforced, s=ould make a
saloon respectable buzrness. "
julius Pincus, Portland dealer,
said:
There is no othes 1ncustry in the
state that can compare with the hop
industry for putting foreign money in
to general circulation. From 1902 to
1913 hops brought into Oregon from
outside states and countries $6O,OOO,OOO
of which $30,0O0,O0O was paid out for
labor locally. Oregon is today by far
the largest hop growing state in the
union, producing approximately one
half of the United States crop.

During the season, 10000 persons

Experience has taugnt hop growers
that to insure maximum yields new
yards must be planted on rich, virgin
bottom land, which is heavily timbered
and costs $3.50 to $3.50 an acre to clear.
The recent increase of hop acreage in
Oregon totals 5000, which paid $1,000
600 for clearing alone, exclusive of
cost of planting, trellis buildings, etc.
"Ten thousand additional acres will
be cleared and planted to hops during
the next few years Il ;ne industry is
not destroyed" !"
=" We propose to debate this question
from an economic STANDPOINT" said
Louis Lachmund, eX-mayor of Salem.
"Our battle will be fought along the
line of self-preservation, and sel1-pre-
scrvation in this instance means the
protection Of the hop INDUSTRY. In or
der to maintain the integrity of the
hop industry, the state must remain
wet as a whole. The moral effect of
the state of Oregon going dry would
be nationwide, and it would he herald
ed broadcast that the state of Oregon.

union, had voted to lay the foundation
for the destruction of its chief industry
in this valley, Do we want to see this
condition brought about7 How many
men appreciate what vvu-i happen if
the state and nation went into the dry
columnl
Result is Pictured.
There are approximately $4,000
acres in this valley and, appraising the
various plants at $500 an acre, amounts
to $l50O,OOO. If this nation votes for
prohibition, what will these 5000
acres be worthf There would ue all I'M

Rev. H.. c. Dunmore, Presbyterian

favor of the hop industry. He said that
several years ago he was prohibi-

he was wrong then.
