| Show FURTHER AS TO prohibition one recent convert to the cause of P at statewide ate wide from among th the a ranks of those who opposed the me 1 in utah two years ago writes write to the time cimei thus effs Y I 1 have finally come to the enc conclusion luson that now at least ought to be if it is not actually the time in ut utah h when hen prohibition statewide sh should old be adopted and put into fore force and effect and practice in our fair state slate the change from our present condition of f partly wet et and tk dry particularly in some of the jar get citi cities e 8 of the state to abao imely and wholly dry I 1 admit would chase some commotion and confusion especially in the readjustment c of the method of securing public revenues but as a resi dent of the wet city of ogden and a in moderate drinker by the why way said it t to me a the other day 1 I have figured it uphill and and all ways a and nd from all angles and I 1 am more than convinced that the worst we c can a n set get is an addition arditto G of not to elece exceed d ten per cent to our taxes if the ladisic public revenue from bonze selling ell ing is dispensed with and no other thing comes along to take it Us place p lace him I 1 pay now about a hun him dred it dol dollars yea li Is in taxes and I 1 can wll well afford to pay a hundred and ten if f they will close up the saloons As it is a now I 1 sometimes osum go in a saloon because I 1 feel that I 1 want a drink if they werf were closed clod I 1 know would id not go into a due dice behind closed doors for one no matter alter hobaday ho how badly I 1 felt that I 1 wanted it I 1 would ifould be far more than the ten dollars extra taxes paid ahead b because white 1 I have never kept account I 1 am more than convinced that I 1 spend several times ten dollars e each a ch year vear over the bar and I 1 very infrequently y visit the places at that I 1 agree with him while not a whiskey drinker myself I 1 feel that Ican 1 can well afford a little increase in the amount of taxes I 1 pay for the privilege of putting in to eap exp experiment e ariment and real trial a system vote that I 1 hones honestly t ay believe and feel will ill redound to great good especially to our son botia a now in their romping eh childhood lahood days of whom I 1 have one only only by letting them pass on to their majority and manhood days without learn learning ingin in any way what the open saloon n is a II if not got to ourselves ouri lal of I 1 course m se I 1 prefer nation wide to state statewide w ile prohibition but I 1 prefer statewide to county wide or city or village wide so aa we now have it inu in utah tab therefore I 1 am for statewide p prohibition hibi tion in utah this fall and will I 1 I 1 1 make sure before I 1 cast my ballot ballo t that each legislator for whom I 1 yo vote to is IB also for it while in the put past I 1 have not stood for pr prohibition lu bal it ic la is not be close I 1 could say aay anything good for or point to anything nit good that has come from whisk whiskey Y but ony only be cause I 1 was wais not yet convinced that our condi conditions ho tiona ns were such that that was the be best t way to handle the evil some a twenty five or BO an years cars re aro bh when n t they hey began teaching hygiene in the schools of utah and had a few pail in t the he book they in the childrens h ild r en s hands portraying the ayi evil effects of alcohol on the hu human in an system I 1 said then that that tabt was the he very best possible way cpr to t teach prohibition hibi tion and that after a gon generation erah on or so had passed with the children learning and imbibing this sort of information and knowl edg em ein the schools school during their fr formative olive per periods do and they had become themen the men and women of the country the sentiment would be such that hat prohibition could be forced enforced and would in consequence actually prohibit well ne a have had bad a generation a ner tion or nearly so of that k kind I 1 of teaching in the public schools of utah I 1 understand a generation Kene ration to mean general iv speak ing a third thard of a century that is A the reason 0 soon why y I 1 say BY at the outset of th this I 1 h have eye tin ally come to the au conclusion n ea ausum that now at least ought to he the time I 1 am led to thus comment bay to you u for J publication bli cation if you desire JR be remis 0 of f having juat read a little article headed th the e aducat educational onal way in colliers collier of june 17 1916 page 17 7 if that paper hale has beef beun consi consistent tort and forceful in one thing it ib has been on the th booze or prohibition question que atlon in t that hat article collier a commends the at stand a nd of the board of edat education I 1 on of K knoxville n aville tenn and prints a res alution adopted by that board as follows this board the idea dea of teaching the evil effects 0 of Zoi intoxicating nesting liquors it should be a principal topic and major study studa in all grades of school instruction the board that if for ten consecutive ae vears such thorough convince con convincing vinct Z contin graphic and illustrative in st ruction was given in all the schools of tennessee the result would be such auch a moral tonic disseminated throughout the state such a an in ng oration of manhood among amock men such a potent stimulant to voluntary refusal to use intoxicating liquors or narcotic drugs drug such so an advance of true effective and per par manent temperance a as no other movement organization ot 01 effort could bring about and would prove of imperishable glory to the public school system of the state J 11 the tunes on its own motion wishes to say that colliers in addition to what our correspondent es adds this the resolutions also slow avow the hope of influencing other school authorities in tennessee it the easiest thing in the world to provide instruction on these matters matter which shall hall be at once scientific accurate and graphic but we are strong for knoxville Knox vill villes a a plan of solving the liquor question quest by keeping it from becoming a cl question catl so are we and col liera hers might have added further that this will make real true blue gon genuine gennine bud and worthwhile worthwhile prohibitionists of those school children by the time they grow up to be voters and that they will form communities in which the sentiment in favor if prohibition will be predominant in which eort art of ff communities only can prohibition be enforced and really and truly and actually prohibit let us have more of this teaching I 1 in the ichi schools of utah and in the trae meantime anti see to it friends that particularly the legislators for whom you vote this fall are genuine true blue and not sham prohibitionists that thai is I 1 if you really want prohibition statewide ide in utah |
