Gustav Becker Scrapbook Page (8 of 11), c. 1917

This scrap book page has newspaper clippings from two articles. Both articles focus on the Young Prohibition Bill, which made Utah a dry state in 1917. In the longer article, Gustav Becker presents his arguments for a more lenient bill. He asks that the legislature provide more time than six months for breweries to conclude their business, and that the legislators provide a very clearly definition of the term intoxicating liquors. The small article is a letter to the editor Gustav Becker wrote in response to an article printed about his efforts to change the prohibition bill.
