The tax levies requested I from these cities were reduced and « the executives of the town feel that , perhaps they have as good an idea of : what funds will be necessary to conduct the affairs of their home cities next year as do the members of the tax board who sit in Indianapolis and guess at It. The same complaint is coining from every township and county and where it will be impossible to pay the bills.

CLAMPING THE LID

I Prohibition Lid is Being Clamped as Tight as a Nut Shell Over States BUREAU OF REVENUE Takes First Steps—Nation Will Be Made Bone Dry —The Efleets. Washington, I). C„ Oct. 29 —The national prohibition lid was being clamp'ed down today with the government ready to use all the drastic powers of the enforcement bill, which became a law late yesterday when congress overrode the presidential veto. The first, work of enforcing wartime, prohibition, according to the law lies with the bureau of internal revenue. Evidence concerning violations of the law will be collected by the bureau to be turned over to the department of justice for criminal prosecution. Evidence concerning violations, particularly in the large cities, has been collected and the attorney general is expected to start wholesale prosecutions in the next few days. Daniel Roper, commissioner of internal revenue, in a public statement made it plain that he plans to make the nation bone dry. Roper, pending organization of the law enforcement bureau, as provided in the prohibition law. appealed to every law-abiding citizen in the United States to support him in the administration of the prohibition law. For the present, employes of Roper's department who can lie spared from other work will be put on prohibition duty. “Not to enforce prohibition effectively would reflect on our form of government.” Roper said. “Close co-operation between federal, state, county and municipal officers is of utmost importance. Collectors have been instructed to get 1n touch with governors and mayors in each state and request their co-operation in urging upon sheriffs and all other local officials the vital necessity of their immediately assuming their responsi-

bilities under the newa act.” The immediate effect of the law probably will be the stopping of the sale of 2.75 per cent beer, since the enforcement bill prohibits any beverage containing one-half of one per c '~‘ t -'mere - f Icchol.

At the same time dry leaders here believe that wartime prohibition and constitutional prohibition will merge, since President Wilson has let it he known that he will not lift the wartime ban until ratification of the peace treaty. Interest here is centering in the interest of liquor dealers to force the government to allow them to dispose of the supplies now on hand. If the supreme court should sustain the action of the federal court at Louisville,

1 which held the wartime net unconstitutional because It deprives holders of Ixmded liquor of the right to dispose ! of their supplies, it would offer liquor owners relief.

It was also pointed out that in case the government does not allow bonded liquor to be sold, at a loss of more than $300,000 in revenue will result. About 60,000 gallons are now in bond .mil the tax of $6.4(> a gallon has been I paid only ten million gallons of this large supply.
