Only Two Taxpayers and

BREWERS PUT UP FUNDS
KNOWING THAT OREGON
DRY MEANS BETTER BUsI.

SAVE ONLY SALOONS.
BY oRToN 4. GOODWIN,
Publicity Department, Committee OF on
Hundred.

Publicity Department Committee OF Ono
Hundred.
The great campaign to
make Oregon "wet" has
failed.
The exposure by DR.. Cora
Talbot, secretary Of the
Taxpayers and Wage
Farmers League" that the
organization consisted of two
persons, Mrs. Duniway and
DIR. Talbot, and was fl
nanced by the brewers and
distillers to make Oregon
"wet," threw the fat into
the fire.
The brewers and distillers
know that all kinds of bust
ness save theirs is better in a
dry town.
They know this has been proved
by figures and facts from Salem,
Oregon City, Roseburg, Albany,
Newberg. Ashland, Corvallis, PEN
dleton and many other towns.
Organization Spreads Untruths.
So they organized the "Taxpay-
ers' and Wage Eorncrs' League" 10
spread miSinformation about Ore.
gon dry.
They know bank deposits In dry
towns have increased IT, number
and amount. They know bad debts
are almost unknown In all dry
towns. They know collections are
better. They know arrests from
drunkenness are almost unknown.
They know every dry town In Ore
gon 10 prosperous.
So, they became desperate.
Taxpayer League Ia Joke"
Then they organized the Joke
"Taxpnyers' and Wage Earners'
League" DR.. Talbot was Sccrc-
tary. She became disguised when
she learned money was being col |
lected by the brewers and disiil- |
leries by the use Of her name, and
she resigned.
Then Mrs. Duniway advertised
iavishly, announcing that the money
the league" was using was pro-
vidod by the brewers.
The campaign of miSinformaiion
carried on by employees of the
league, who are also employees of
the breweries and diSlilleries, Is
now known all over Oregon.
Brewers Spending Your Money.
Every man, woman and child
has to spend $40 year with the
saloons.
II you do not drink. some one
else has To pay YOUR share.
So, II is YOUR money the Ore
son brewers and Eastern diSill-
leries have been using 10 persuade
YOU Oregon wet will do YOU
good. II is believed they expect
to spend over 100000 of YOUR
money.
They know Oregon dry will put
them out Of business aud help every
eth.r Kind of business In the atats.
Although the brewerics and dis
tillerieS know Oregon dry is for
better business, prosperity and
more work, they are fighting il.
No Saloonsi Better Business.
We have had bad times with the
saloon, haven't We? Why not try
no Saloon2 II can't make things
worse and is certain TO make
things better.
The reason is:
Money spent on the saloon can.
not be spent for groceries. Money
'psnt In the saloons-mueh Of it
Eoss East Money spent for dry
goods and groceries stays in the
'swns and makes better business.
The members of the Committee Of
one Hundred are all orsgonians.
Most OF them are business men.
They ask You To vote Oregon dry,
because they know, as the brew
RS also know, that Oregon dry
means better business, lower taxes,
more work and a return to pros
,erity.
For the experience of all Ore
Jon dry towns has proved this 10
'e the case.
