Did you know that there is only a handful of prohibition enforcement officers in this state? Why, there is not a county in the state that hasnt a sheriff and there isnt a precinct in the state that hasnt a justice of the peace and constable and yet we hear people complain that the government officers, a mere drop in the bucket as compared with the total number of peace officers in the state, should carry the entire burden of prosecuting Cities like Ogden apd bootleggers. Salt Lake should be ashamed of themselves in making such a plea or for asking for assistance. Judge Johnson then said that vio- la t ion of the eighteenth amendment would continue just as long as the people in each community permitted it to be violated by buying liquor from bootleggers and in encouraging them in other ways. He also discussed the cluttering up of United States courts with little liquor cases that ought to be taken care of in the state courts. In conclusion Judge Johnson said: But if you dont intend to enforce the eighteenth amendment you ought to repeal it.
