Summary edit

Description
English:

The Seattle Brewing and Malting Company was founded in 1893. The Company's Rainier Beer became popular on the West Coast, and it has survived Prohibition and several brewery owners. On November 3, 1914, Washington voters approved a statewide initiative to prohibit the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages by a count of 189,840 to 171,208. Prohibition law took effect in Washington state in 1916 - three years before a federal amendment was passed.

Text:
There is a vast difference between right and privilege. That the manufacturer has a right to make beer is undeniable. That the individual has a right to drink beer - moderately and temperately - is indisputable. It is the sale of and traffic in beer that is a privilege...Is it not wiser to better regulate and control privilege than to impair and destroy rights? The remedy of any and every abuse of the liquor traffic lies in the hands of the officials.
