REVENUE OFFICIALS FOLLOW HARD PATH, SAYS COMMISSIONER (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Revenue officers under the Volstead Act, "are up against the toughest proposition any men ever were up against according to Paul F. Myers, assistant commissioner of internal revenue, whose testimony before the house appropriations committee was made public today. Discussing the need of a big force and plenty of money with which to go after wholesale and retail bootleggers, Mr. Myers declared it was a "tough proposition" because they were dealing with the worst element of crooks in the country. It developed at the hearing that the bureau would need about $7,000,000 for the next fiscal year for prohibition enforcement. Members insisted that with the deficiency to be taken care of later the amount would exceed $9,000,000. Hard To Find Men. Commissioner Williams explained that the department was having difficulty in finding the right type of men to go after violators at the rate of pay offered and that they were open to all sorts of temptation, particularly as to bribes "Some of them have fallen and that was to be expected" he said. "When a man feels the pinch of hunger he is apt to go wrong." Based on the figures of Sept. 30. Mr. Williams said there were 48.000,000 gallons of liquors of all sorts in government warehouses and that it was being withdrawn at the rate of 4.000,000 gallons a month.

He was one of the prominent officers of the A. E. F. SHORTAGE OF FUNDS FOR PURLIC SCHOOLS NOT FELTJN WAYNE Wayne county will not feel the effects of the shortage in the school funds distributed this year, the total of which in the state is $66,000 lower than the amount distributed last year. Tbe total amount distributed among the 92 counties of Indiana is $1,639,458.70. Of this sum Wayne county will receive $22,791,45. Some counties will be affected by the shortage, but school authorities here said Wayne county's allotment would not fall far short of sums received in former years. The distribution of funds is based upon the total number of school children enumerated in the state which is 784,430. Division of the funds shows a per capita of $2.09 for each child. The distribution is made semiannually, in January and in June. Scaled Levies. In 1919, when the property valuations of the state were increased millions of dollars by the state board of tax commissioners, the board scaled down all the state levies in order to raise approximately the same amount of money as was produced by the old levies on the old valuations. In the case of the school levy a reduction was made from 13.6 cents on each $100 of taxables to 5.2 cents. It has developed, school officials declare, that the board scaled the levy down too low in 1919. In order to meet the situation, the tax board increased the levy to 5 (J cents for 1920. Money obtained from this levy will not be available until 1922, however, and the June funds will be short this year, officials say. The amount secured last January from the levy of 13.G cents which was in effect from 1907 to 1919. was $1,500,314.28. The school tax of 5.2 cents produced $1,434,277.93 this year. Efficiency Fund Short. Officials point out that the state deficiency fund, which is used for state aid to poor school corporations, will be short this year both in January and June. This fund obtained by deducting 8.2 per cent of the funds derived from the state school tax before the apportionment is made. The deficiency fund last June, when funds were obtained from the old levies, was $141,209.25. The fund obtained for deficiency purposes this January is $117,610.79.
