business, and In those days that deter
mination was almost invariably fatal to
any private enterprise Another rea,
son was that the collector became alert
IN imposing the legal gallon tax, and
rather than to pay this some OF the
operators closed their concerns. The
year 1870 practically brought the end
Of the distilling business in Utah, al.
though the revenue officer closed up sew
oral, probably a dozen, private ''tea-
pot" stills in 1874. and two Of these
were destroyed as late as 1ss0-all in
the southern part of the Territory.
All of this occurred before there were
many Gentiles in Utah, aud while the
Territory, all the counties, and tho cities
troll of the leaders Of the Mormon
church. There was not one Gentle of.
flclal liz the governing municipal body
of Salt Lake City when it operated its
stills and sold the LIQUOR from its own
grog shop. The only Gentle officer
who had to do with these matters al
that time was the revenue collector, who
was largely instrumental in having 4
lot Of the Illicit stills closed up. Those
that remained in operation under the
law he taxed TO as complete a limit as
the available output reports would just"
ify him IN doing. The church. which
had complete control Of affairs here,
permitted and encouraged the business

the saints. And it was not until after
the Union Pacific railroad was COM
pleted, in 1869, and Geptiles began to
flock IN here in larger numbers. that
the little and big distilleries went out
of business.
After the Getty Liquor Store'' was
closed, tho Z. c. NJ. l. drug store took
up the business of Wholesale and retail
liquor selling, and continues in that
traffic to the present day. This con-
Germ is under the direction of the Nor
mon bierarchs. Apostle Reed Smoot
and several Mormon associates are en-
gagged IN liquor selling, as are numerous
other members of the Melchisedek
priesthood throughout the State. So it
Is rather an easy matter to conclude
that this sudden Temperance out.
burst that characterized the scheming of
the hlerarchs at the last conference was
q silly sham, which will deceive no Gen
tile, but which served to distract the
Of the Mormon people from
the confessed crimes of their leaders.
