Show UTAH ENTERS DRY COLUMN. Leaders Say Prohibition Will Bring an Era of Prosperity. Salt Lake City. The state of Utah went into the dry column on August 1. The saloon now exists only in memory. Business men are confident that instead in-stead of a period of depression as the result of the banishment of John Barleycorn, Bar-leycorn, prosperity will come along with prohibition. Much of the saloon property has already been rented for other business ventures, and many of those engaged in the liquor traffic have entered other fields of endeavor. Bankers, in close touch with every phase of business life, declare they feel no misgivings for the future, but, on the other hand, are certain prohibition pro-hibition would be beneficial. |
