Show November 1, 1968 Eureka, Utah THE EUREKA (UTAH) REPORTER These statements on Liquor Petition A have been issued by Utahs two candidates for governor and the two candidates for the U. S. Senate: Not Significant Factor In Tourist, Industrial Development . I shall vote against the posal. Excessive use of alcohol pro- liquor-by-the-dri-nk a major social problem in the United States, as well as in many other countries. Utah's per capita annual consumption of alcoholic beverages is relatively low. Part of the credit for this without doubt, must be given to the teachings of the L.D.S. Church in discouraging the use of alcohol. Some of the credit for the low consumption, however, undoubtedly must also be given to our present liquor control laws. In my judgment liquor is not a significant factor in industrial and tourist development. Weighing all the facts, I am voting no. is Govomor Calvin L. I Against It. in Utah is not an issue in the U. S. Senate race because it will not come before that body. However, it is an issue in your personal and family life just as it is in mine. My decision is made. I will vote against it. I urge you to use the Legislative process of carefully examining all relevant aspects of the proposal in coming to your decision as I have done. Liquor-by-the-dri- nk : It Senator Wallaco Would F. Bennett Disastrous For the State Hampton Liquor-by-the-dri- nk Be is not needed in the State of Utah. The cost in human suffering is far too great a price to pay. As an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, I believe in the basic tenets of my faith which embraces the Word of Wisdom. However, the stand I take on this issue goes far beyond my religious beliefs, for here we are faced with a basic moral issue. That issue being the kind of community in which we should live. I have read the proposed law. I think everyone should know its possible effects. To my way of thinking, they would be disastrous for the State of Utah. Not a Good Bill For Our People I am convinced that the Liquor Petition now before Utahs voters is not a good bill for our people. For one thing, it is too permissive for our youth. It allows minors to enter places where liquor is sold by the drink. The Liquor Petition would greatly increase the pressure on our young people to drink. And speaking of our youth, just what kind of state do we adults want to leave- the next generation? Utah is known as an excellent place in which to raise a family. Lets keep it that way.
