Those sections of the state which
voted, or may vote, for prohibition
are entitled to- the protection Of the
law in their efforts to suppress the
sale of liquor within prohibitive terri
tory. Strict regulation, as provided
by existing law, should govern those
communities where the local unit has
pronounced for the licensed saloon.
Recent legislation has done much
to improve the saloon situation in
this state Many abuses have been
corrected, and better conditions pre-
vail in practically every section where
the sale of liquor is licensed by law.
