Show H I KEEP FAITH WITH US.

Hut what Is far BH. more serious than tho monetary side "" is tho fact that tho law will not, it H seems, keep good faith with tho dls- BB ' trlcts of tho state which will go dry, BB or aro nlready dry, for Intrastate BB I uhlptnonts nro not prohibited. BB If no uction Is taken to prohibit the BB I shipment of liquor from Salt Lake BB and other wet districts Into dry (lis- h trlcts, wo may as well havo a strict- B,t , ly regulated saloon and be dono with Bl, J the matter. It is well known that tho BB " shipments of liquor Into Logan and BB' thq valley nro growing to enormous B' '; ' proportions. Many thousands of dol- BB lars nro going out from Logan to Og- 'r den and Halt Lako, and these dollars , . bring liquor Into tho homos of tho poo- H le. What tho legislature should do,lf It 'r intcuds to keep faith with thoso parts B' of the state which are dry, is to pnss .' a law along the lines of the Idaho B ennctment. This law forbids Intra- BBB state shipments of n certain kind and B reads as follows: B "Sec. 25.
