“At sundown December 5, 1933, Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st (Repeal) Amendment, bringing to an end the colorful period of ax swinging Carrie Nation, the underworld’s most ambitious ventures in the realm of high finance, and the all-time peak of official corruption… With Repeal, an industry which represents about $4,500,000,000 of our nation’s annual business leaped into being. It has produced well over $11,000,000,000 in state and federal revenue in those 10 years.”
