Real Estate Offered for Sale at Less
Than Valuation But No Bidders

The Committee Of One Hundred
says:
"If you want to find out what
dry Oregon will do for Oregon, go
to Roseburg and see what dry
Roseburg has accomplished"
Here's what it has done.
II has cut down the bank deposits
by over S5o0,0o0, in spite of the
fact that there are now four banks
to the two in existence when Rose
burg had licensed saloons, and that
the population has increased in pro-
portion to the settling UP Of South
ern Oregon by new settlers and i'm
migration.
When Roseburg had licensed sa-
looms the tax levy, on one-third OF
the valuation was two mills. Since
Roseburg has gone dry the tax levy
has varied from eight to ten mills
on full valuation; and in addition
occupation taxes have been steadily
increased
The Committee Of One Hundred
boasts that dry Roseburg has erected
a Sll5,000 hotsl. The hotel was
erected in 1918, stood idle and ten
antless for four months, and was
rescued from the bankruptcy court
by liberal business men Of the city,
among whom we're E. L. Parrot, c.
w. Parks, Joseph Micelli, A. N. Or
colt and Henry Hart, all Of whom
are radically opposed to dry town.
The Committee Of One Hundred
also boasts of the armory as an
achievement The armory was built
by state, county and city funds COM
bined, and is not yet completed.
Over 140 leading business men
have signed a petition calling for
local option election in Roseburg this
year, and such an election will be
held.
Many empty store buildings are to
be found on the leading business
streets-a condition that never ex-
listed when Roseburg had licensed
saloons. Scores Of dwelling houses
are vacant for the first time in the
history Of the city.
1 John Hunter, a leading contractor
and formerly supporter Of the drys,
is now advertising in Roseburg pa
pers:
II Business block for sale
IL for $500 less than present as
sessed valuation.
Il Another property owner has Of
fered four parcels Of inside prop
I erty for sale at less than the as
sessed valuation, and has not ever
received tender.
One of the leaders Of the dry
forces in Roseburg is man who as
former agent Of the Albany brew
I cry made his fortune, and who to-
/ day is the owner Of a drug store
ii He was at one time prominent ir
politics, was repudiated by the vot'
Mers Of Douglas County, and Is now
! said to be seeking to place lieuten
ants in office through the dry move
ment.
Il Beggars are common on the streets
i and many poor families are appeal
| ing to the local bankers for aid.
Ill And yet the Committee of ON
Hundred says:
"If you want to find out what Ore
gon dry will do for Oregon go II
Roseburg and see what dry Roseburi
has accomplished"
