Show Friday, June 10, 1938 THE VOICE OF SIIARON PAGE Fiv ??or PROVOS North Utah County Leads In Drive ejected To Close Beer Halls On Sunday SERVICE Lehi, Pleasant Grove and Orem are leading Utah county in a determined drive to close all Sunday sales of beer, American Fork is taking steps toward the stand being taken by other northern towns of the county, declared officials of the Law Enforcement League in Prbvo this week. Lehi and Pleasant Grove have both passed ordinances closing all beer shops on Sunday, and Prems Town board has passed a motion favoring a beer closing ordinance. Along with these actions alreadvwiken, citizens inVrovo have been studying the matter, and though, the Provo commission have opposed any change in the Sunday City beer law there arc indications that the League will not relinquish the fight in the city. The matter has been discussed in every club and private gathering, as well as by individuals on the streets and in their homes. The following is & of a discussion occupying an hour or more in one of re7ort these discussion groups: SA i entire facilities ot this' modern are placed at the Instant disposal of anyone calling this number.

THE r f m Jr it ufr No extra charge for services within of SO - The brewers claim that alcoholism lg on the decrease. Why &U this excitement about beer. A. The Keeley Institute and other hospital cures are crowded beyond all previous recards. Deaths from alcoholism for the first three years of repeal are 84 per cent greater than for the first three years of repeal are 8 4 per cent greater than for the first three years of prohibition, and the first 10 years of prohibition under the Eighteenth Amendment showed a 48 H per cent decrease in the death rate from alcoholism. Q. But surely drunkenness has declined for there are fewer arrests tor drunkenness now than before. A. The Federal Bureau of Investigation contradicts this claim, for the records from the FBI show the ratio per 100,000 of population charged with Intoxication waa 102.0 per cent more In 1930 than Q. miles. a radios in 1932. But crimes have decreased, and Q. corruption has been eliminated with the open sale of liquor. You agree with this statement, don't you? A. Director J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI frankly asserts, in a recent public address, that "serious crimes are increasing' and that 'the last three years have been the most terrible period of criminal history In the life of America". His records show also that urban liquor-bre- d arrests In 1936 are 131 per cent larger than In 1932, In a total population but 17 pe cent greater than that represented In the earlier figure. Q. Everybody agrees, do they not, that hijacking, smuggling, etc., are wiped out? A. The records of the Internal Revenue Department report extraordinary activity of huge Illicit distilling rings, and a lengthening list of tacketeera and of Illegal sales. Even liquor statisticians admit a tremendous traffic In Illicit booze estimated at rrom 40 to 00. million gallons a year, despite the Increased of consumption legalized beer and spirits. rum-runnin- g, .1. 1 t t PhuuUrtf fycM Vccct&H?

Official records of the entire nation reveal alcohol Is a factor In from 50 to 00 per cent of all fatal accidents. That certainly is true In Provo, as Chief Henry East and Sheriff Durneli will agree. Besides, traffic experts are emphasizing repeatedly that the alcohol factor Is hidden In countless cases credited to other causes by official reports. R. B. Stoeckel, research associate in transportation at Yale, and a former highway commissioner of Connecticut, speaking before a conference of 1000 highway and safety experts, declared last April 4 that statistical evidence does not paint a true plci re, that drunken drivers are not blamed for all the damage they do. Wilbur L. Cross Jr. son of the Governor of Connecticut, added that he had found "many accidents attributed to hazards in the road when the real culprit Is liquor". Q. But beer aids Industry, and benefits the farmers, and ao has decreased unemployment. You surely will not deny this? A. Statistics show thal9, 00(,000,000 (nine billion) has been diverted from the retail trade of the nation in legitimate products to the liquor trade. Money spent for beer and liquor cannot buy milk and shoes. The dairy industry suffered seriously since "legal beer" came back, for beer retailers have taken the place of the milk man, as scores of cities records show, for their milk consumption Is startlingly under the minimum health standards. Both beer and liquor sales are forcing increasing thousands of their "best customers" into the bread line, and to this traffic belongs the shame of accepting without protest from relief victims already on the dole, millions of dollars of government montv spent for intoxicating drinks. Coincident with the high pressure pushing of beer has been a striking shrinkage in consumption of mili. In thousands of factories where during prohibition dsys milk was a mild afternoon refreshment, beer and other liquors now take Its place. A drop of 4,000,-000,0(four billion) pounds In milk consumption is recorded In the opening years of repeal history, with a record from scores of cities where milk consumption Is farbelow conservative health standards. Q. The brewers claim that public revenue has benefltted, for the funds have been allotted to schools, relief and other welfare purposes. Is not this a justification for beer tabu? A. On the contrary It 1b merely a device to give respectability to an accursed traffic which is demoralizing the nation. The fact Is that for every 10 of liquor revenue paid to the Federal government, an actual cost ot 300.90 Is accrued by the people of United States In law enforcement, not counting the steadily widening social and economic damage of the nefarious traffic. Q. One more question: Is It not trfie that beer consumption has decreased the sale of hard liquors, and thus benefltted the people by the sale of a milder drink? A, Again statistics frove that the sale cf beer has Increased slightly less than 32,3 per cent during the past three years, but that consumption of legal hard liquor, vi'lnslve of the tremendous moonshine trade which stiii eiiaU, um ImcJ forward 55.? y r eent. This group left that meeting determined to do everything In their power to curtail the sale of beer and liquor at all times. I LOANS Willard t Crop Rotation Essential For Good Farming NOTE: This is one of a series of articles written especially by Dr. Thomas L. Martin for this paper on Security in Utah (THOMAS L. MARTIN, Agronomist Brigham Yosuig University) Men In days gone by have occasionally become discouraged with conditions because soils would not produce as they should. Writers would tend to nullify this discouragement by ridiculing the idea of the land' ever wearing out. Some old Roman Senator quoted on one occasion, "It la neither just nor true to think that the material of the ground which the Creator of the universe endowed with perpetual fecundity is effected with barrenness, nor does It become a wise man to believe that the earth with a definite and everlasting youth bestowed upon It and called the common parent ot all things, should grow old like a woman. Such comments as this no doubt stirred the farmer to renewed efforts. He would follow instructions and produce resulta. The same condition prevails now. There are a number of things one can do to improve the equation. Suppose rotation Is practiced more vigorously, better yields would be produced. The diseases so common to fields cannot develop if crops are changed. Beets should not be grown more than two years In succession. Beets for two years followed by grain as a nurse crop for alfalfa, then alfalfa grown five years and plowed up, and the land planted to corn and potatoes, followed by beets again, will so change the land that it will take on renewed vigor. Manure should be applied to the alfalfa, corn, potatoes snd sugar beets. The land would not be plowed but three years out? of the teu year rotation. It has been learned that continual cultivation breaks down the structure of the soli, snd makes it possible for the vigorous winds so common here to carry away the surface layers. But rediMng the number of plowlngs over the ten-ye' period prevents this tendency to wind groslon. In addition to the abova benefits from rotation, It will be found that diseases are better controlled; the plant food supply is equalized; less labor Is needed and it Is better distributed through the season; the soil increases in fertility; It Is also eas.er to work, and above all the discouraging features of a poor soil are eliminated. The growing boy and parents, too, will begin to feci that after all farming Is not so bad; and a new spirit In agriculture will permeate the community, largely because this fine system of permanent soil fertility will have taken hold again. , paper will be given.
