' FIGHT It has sometimes been stated, particularly since the people of Utah recently began to consider more seriously the question of the regulation of the liquor traffic, that this state already has local option, to a deThe legal status of saloon regulation in Utah was discussed in an interview given by Attorney Frank B. Stephens, yesterday. Mr. Stephens aiso recognizes that there is a social side to the saloon, but says ft is the duty of the muHis statement follows: nicipality to provide means of recreation that has less harmful tendencies. "I think there can be no serious contention on the part of any faimminded person against the enactment The people of Utah should at the next session of our legislature of a comprehensive local aption law. feel like apologizing because this has not been done before. We are among the last states in the Union to enact such legislation, there being only five or six left without local option laws. "Our supreme court decided a great many years ago, in the case of Logan City versus Edwards, that under our statute, while there is the widest discretion in location, number and regulation of retail liquor establishments, a city council has not the right to refuse a license for the sale of intoxicating liquors simply because it is that kind of business. "It is in harmony with the genius of our government that each locality shoulqd have the right to determine for itself whether or not it will permit the licensing of a business which is injurious per se, and most of the state courts which have spoken upon the subject, and also the United States court, have held that such is the character of the retail liquor business. "Each county in the state shou!d have the right to determine for itself by a vote of the people whether saloons will be licensed or not, and if the county'does not determine to refuse license, each municipality in the county should have that privilege. In some states the'right of local option has been extended even to wards or districts within the city itself. By passing a local option law, Utah would simply get in line with her sister states all over the Union. ° "The present anti-saloon movement, recently organized, does not contemplate an attempt to pass a prohibitory law, but to permit each locality to determine for itself whether it will license saloons. "The growth of the work in opposition to the public drinking place has developed the fact that it-is not best to pass a pronibitory law because a majerity of the voters of the whole state are In favor of so doing, unless each locality in the state is in harmony with such legislation. "A state prohibitory law might be effective in all counties except where large cities were located, and there be a dead letter, and where public sentiment will not enforce such a law the condition is worse than under high license. The present movement is proceeding upon sane, sensible and reasonable lines. "Unquestionably, the ultimate extinction of the public drinking place is a consummation to be desired, but in many states, before this can occur, there must be such a growth in public sentiment as will make this possible in every part of the state before a prohibitory law should be passed. Mcantime, let each community decide for itself whether it will, or will not, have a saloon. 4, saloon is bad enough anywhere, but in a rural district, where there is often a scarcity Of opportunities for young men to seek innocent forms of amusement, the saloon is a much greater temptation than it is in a large city, where there is very little ex« cuce for the young men to go to a saloon because they want diversion. "Our municipalities, both large and small, should at once study out and inaugurate under the auspices, and to some extent, at the expense of the municipality, innocent, and, so far as possible, instructive, means of amusement. Eastern cities are establishing public playgrounds wnder city supervision, and the time will soon come when it will be as much a part of the duty of the municipality to furnish proper mental and physical recreation for its citizens as it is to institute a system of waterworks. "Back cf all these questions is the great need that all citizens give more thought to municipal condi‘tions, and when this is done, the public saloon will go along with a great many other evils."
