The Joke Of the DRY Law"
Hood R;ver Ore Oct IL l9l

Hood River, Ore. Oct. II. 1916.
Editor Glacier: IF | read of few
more cases of bootlegging shall vote
for the saloons. This dry law is a
huge joke
So said a voter the other day after
reading of another raid on joint. OF
course the voter was right-if news
paper space were true index of liquor
sold for in the saloon days neither the
amount of stock nor the number of
sales by the thousand or more saloons
we're reported.
In thinking of the dry law, Mr..
Voter. had you noticed that none of
the disastrous things prophesied by the
Vets in 1914 have taken place? For
instance, saloon keepers have not been
jobless: saloon buildings have not re-
mained idle save In few instances !;
business has not been destroyed; wit.
ness the increase in savings and bank
deposits, witness the numerous state
ments of merchants regarding the in.
crease in the sale Of shoes, milk, gro
ceries, etc., and, be sure to get this,
the state has not become band of
outlaws witness the empty jails and
decrease in arrests.
Then too. Mr.. Voter, had you noticed
some of the things the dry law has
done? Its purpose was to cut down
the use of booze and oust drunkenness.
Has it not succeeded? In Portland the
number of arrests for drunkenness for
the first six months of 1916 was TIC {:
for the same period last year the num-
Der was 3,074. Portland's liquor ship
ments for the first five months of 1916
we're 30,l6l. If each had been the
maximum q amount allowed by law,
Portland's consumption of liquor would
figure out three quarts per capita. In
the United States the average con-
sumption is 80 quarts per capita. II
the dry law is not responsible for the
decrease of 81 quarts we wonder what
is?
Oregon sheriffs have a pretty good
tab on the amount of booze and drunk.
enness. At their convention held in
Portland they endorsed in the highest
terms the Oregon dry law. The testi-
mony of our own sheriff. Thos. John
son, is significant
''There is not one tenth as much llq-
uor used as last year. and what is used
is by the older men,
Do you get that last, Mr. Voter? II
the young men are safeguarded the dry
law is worth while. The joke of it
seems to be it works.

FRUIT AUCTIONS
WARN STEINHARDT

10 the Northwest Apple Grower:
The telegram published in northwest
ern papers purporting to have been
signed by Steinhardt & Kelly regarding
a sale of car of Grimes Golden apples
at public auction in New York City on
Monday, September rs. in which they
attack the auction system of selling
and state that the fruit in this car was
Slaughtered" is grossly false and IL
belous.
We publish this statement SO you will
know the truth for unhappily such
telegram deceives innocent growers.
One possible explanation of such tel
egram is that someone is inviting suit
for libel. We give public warning that
we will accommodate them il after this
warning the offense is repeated.
In our judgment there is in the fruit
distributing industry too great ten
dency to make false and libelous state
ments with view Of influencing the
grower. We intend that this shall stop
when aimed at the Fruit Auction sys-
TEN.
The fruit referred to in the Stein
hardt & Kelly's telegram was dead
green and immature, and would never
have ripened. 1t had not color charac.
teristic of the variety and should not
have been shipped. More than half the
car had from 1863 to 200 apples in each
Dox.
The car was sold on Monday, the best
sales day of the week. There were
present at the auction sales of that day
fully $50 buyers with full representa-
tion of all classes of buyers from the
fancy fruit buyers to the peddlers. The
fruit was sold for the full market value
and was not Slaughtered, as we
are prepared to establish overwhelm-
ingly.
MIR. Grower, remember that Stein
hardt & Kelly buy for profit. They
believe that the adoption of the auction
system of selling by the Northwestern
apple growers will interfere with their
business. We believe that the auction
system will result in giving to the
grower at least a part of that profit.
You are interested in net returns to
you. False statements in the end in
jure you. We want the auction system
judged on its merits, not on false state.
ments.
DO not use the auction 81 stem if you
are satisfied with your present system
of selling or if the auction system will
not serve you better than any other
present selling system.
On the Chicago auction market with
in ten days Washington Grimes Golden
apples have sold up to 81. rs per box for
oyfra fapcu and Sl or for fauey apd
Washington Jonathans have sold up to
So. 20 per box for extra fancy and 81. 72
per box for fancy. Give the auction
