measure meas incas ure are arc unconstitutional Following o is tho the governors governor's message March larch 9 a 1909 1009 To tho the Senate Senate- As As tho the eighth session of tho tim legislature legis legis- lature laturo is drawing to its close I respectfully respectfully respect respect- full fully call your attention to a very important im important im- im subject which has not yet re received received received re- re our jour our definite action and upon which you OU should not fail to provide effective O leJ legislation This subject is tho I regulation and control of tho the liquor within the thc state I 1 am aware a of tho the multiplicity of interests that exist here and the tho varying vary varv- ing conditions between communities in n different sections of Utah also that tho the welfare of all an must receive first consid consid- oration cration This end can be reached in my opinion by a 3 measure that avoids rad rad and provides pro for a strict en cn en of its provisions pro I had hoped that b by this time timo action to this end cna would have havo been taken bv by your honorable honorable honor able bod body but at present th there thero ro docs does not appear to be bo any such buch measure near to enactment Tho situation appeals to tomo tomo mo mc as one ono where my ray duty requires me mc to urge you Jou to immediate action in the premises This legislation should be directed dire against vice in secret form as well wen as when displayed in tue open therefore I earnestly recommend that a law bw including ing both hoth local option and strict re regain regula ula- ula tion as these relate to the tho liquor traffic should bo be enacted and that its provisions provi pi-ovi- bo be drawn rawn carefully within the thc I constitution so o there w will lJ be no failure Wherever the tho sale saJe of alcoholic liquors is iH it should I permitted be bo under regu regu- lations so plain an and effective that the traffic c will b bo bd kept within h legitimate hounds bounds and be Le under tho the perfect control con con- of those officers char charged cd with the thc enforcement of law lav and when the tho people peo peo- plo pIe of any locality wish to exclude such flUch traffic from front their neighborhood the they thoy should be given iven the opportunity to do so The enactment of a measure of ot this kind conceived in fairness and dictated I ed b by calm judgment appears to mo me to bo be within your present duty as 38 representatives of tho the people having at heart welfare of all al and tho the desirous of preserving pro pre serVin serving tho the rights of every person and such a statute can bo adopted within tho the time timo yet at your disposal I shall be greatly pleased to give my approval ai to such Ruch a
