ENFORCEMENT OF PROHIBITION LAW Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 15. —“Over 65.000 bootleggers and moonshiners arrested by Federal agents last year can testify that prohibition is being enforced,” said Federal Prohibition Commissioner R. A. Haynes, speaking before the convention of the Dayton Council of Churches here last night. "This number does not, of course, include the many thousands of arrests made by ! state, county and other local officials. That number will no doubt greatly exceed the arrests made by Federal agents, since J there are about a quarter of a million such officers, as compared with about 1500 Federal men. The prohibition law is no respecter of persons. The wealthy bootlegger Remus, of Ohio, the socially prominent La Montagnes of New York,” and the politically influential Gary, Indiana, and Pittsburg violators landed in cdls just as did their poor boothegging brothers. “We have made it more difficult for the illicit trade to get supplies today. The four principal sources of supply have been cut off. Withdrawals of whiskey jon permits are only about one per cent of the consumption prior to prohibition, and very little is escaping into illicit channels. I During the last fiscal year about i 1,800,000 gallons cf whiskey were released for medicinal pur- ’> poses. In 1921, the first full fiscal dry year, there were released 8,671,860 gallons. The augmentation and efficiency of the Coast Guard is stopping the side of smuggled liquors. While legitimate business is using more denatured ale hoi than ever, diversions to the bootleg trade are decreasing. In Philadelphia and New York, two of the most difficult centers, withdrawals of specially denatured alcohol have been cut one-third in the last six months. Much'of that diverted has been seized and destroyed. The practice in seme sections at ! first prevalent, of making illicit liquor in the home, has been practically discontinued. The results were not worth the trouble. ’Moonshining* as an illicit trade was struck some harsh blows during the last year. Federal agents captured about 160,000 stills and parts of j stills, and over 15,000,000 gallons of distilled spirits, malt liquors, | wine, cider, etc. In 1923 fiscal year 158,132 stills and parts of stills and 14,346.649 gallons of j distilled spirits, malt liquors,; wine, cider, etc., were seized. In 1924 over 5.000 automobiles and more than 230 boats illegally transporting liquor were seized. In 1923. there were 3.977 .automobiles and 134 boats seized. “The above figures do not, of course, include seizures by state and other local officials. Where the states have strong prohibition laws, our problem is fairly easy. States like New York, Maryland and Massachusetts, which have no state code, practically invite the liquor criminals. The Federal force was never intended to police the United States. Where given cooperation by local officials and supported by state laws, we have every reason to be proud of the record made in such short time. Ohio is one of these states. Reports show that Ohio is right in the front ranks with reference to enforcement. This is due to

the splendid support which Director Russell receives from the local officials. In Dayton especially, Director Russell tells me is this true. The vice squad and the police department are always at the service of the Federal Department. Since Mr. Russell has been Director, over three years, about 125 persons from Dayton and Montgomery counties have been prosecuted in the Federal Court at Dayton and sentenced to the Federal peniteniiary, jail and w srkhousA and to pay fines totaling about $25,000. Included in these cases was the Szakal and Render whiskey I rings, prosecuted for conspiracy. In the State Courts, with the assistance of local authorities. 70 persons were prosecuted the same period, resulting in fines of over $31,000. “Prohibition has not been a drain on the public purse. The appropriation for enforcement of the prohibition law last fiscal year was $8,350,000. Fines imposed on convicted violators were over $7,000,000, more than $5,000,(HR) of which has already been collected and turned in to the United States Treasury. Brewers paid into the Treasury nearly a million dollars last year in compromise of civil liabilities against them. To this should be fdded the amount of tax penalties imposed on violators, exact figures for which are not yet available. The bootlegger is paying his own fare to prison. Prohibition is not intended to produce revenue from fines. It is, however, paying its way in this respect. “Prohibition has not only repaid the cost of its enforcement. It has more than replaced the lost revenue from liquor licenses by stimulating legitimate business. Just as a workman can produce more and save more when he stops drinking, so can a Nation. The taxes paid from the increased productivity of industry resulting from the dry i law far exceed any possible revenue from liquor license. “Prohibition alone did not i make the Coast Guard appropriation necessary. If the 18th Amendment had never passed, we would still have needed to equip the Coast Guard, Narcotics and aliens are smuggled into AmerTea. Without an efficient guard, we could not keep these out. Liquor is not the only thing profitably smuggled. “There is infinitely less drinking now than before Prohibition. Certain groups may be drinking more, but they are small in comparative numbers. As a general national proposition the claim is absurd. The good order obtaining at all large gatherings during the last year is proof of the decreased use of beverage liquor. Our streets are practically free; from drunks. Any one can see that Prohibition has shown itself as a means of pronounced public betterment and unquestioned economic value to the Nation. In the place of the saloon, have arisen legitimate business houses. Crime has decreased. The Census Bureau reports that there are fewer paupers in the almshouses today than in twenty years. Money formerly spent for drink is now put in the savings bank. Alcoholic insanity is at a low ebb. In many states inebriate hospitals have been closed for lack of inmates. When liquor was plentiful, crime, poverty and insanity menaced the Nation. All of these have gone out

to a marked degree with the tide of booze. “To the average thoughtful person, argument is not necessary to prove that Enforcement ■>f the Prohibition Law is effective —anyone, anywhere, can see for . himself—but there .is so nuch loose talking and loose writing about this subject that uninformed and unthinking people immediately conclude that} Prohibition is responsible for all | :he ills of the Nation. “For instance, one can go for weeks, or even months, and not see a drunken man on the streets. The 177,000 saloons existing before Prohibition area gone, and in their place are legitimate business places. There is practically no open and aboveboard drinking anywhere, and what drinking is done is so ruarded and done so surreptitiously that under-cover or disguised agents are required to secure evidence that will convict. There is no legal manufacture of whiskey now, whereas before Prohibition there were over 500 distilleries producing annually approximately 268,000,000 gallons of distilled spirits. W*here previously there were about 1300 breweries making between one and a half and two billion gallons of Leer every year, there are now only aboiri 485 dealcoholizing plants producing about 160,300.000 gallons of cereal beverages, containing less than onehalf of one per cent of alcohol. The amount of whiskey withdrawn under permit has been reduced to the approximate medicinal need, and very little is escaping into illicit channels. The home manufacture of liquor has been practically eliminated, and with the augmentation of the Coast Guard for patrolling the coasts, the smuggling problem will soon br* solved. The .greatest remaining problem, the curtailment of the diversion of industrial alcohol to beverage use. is being successfully met. The courts are imposing heavier penalties upon violators, as shown by reports of action in Federal Courts during the last year, when fines of approximately $7,125,000, and prison sentences I totaling a little over 3,180 years I were imposed —over $5,500,000 of which has already been collected. “There is no 100‘c enforce- ; ment of any law, and it is not I denied that there are violations !of the Prohibition Law, but • .granting that is is difficult in some sections to enforce this law and that bootlegging has become ja natural consequence, it is easy to demonstrate that Prohibition is shewing itself as a means of pronounced public betterment, and unquestioned economic value to the Nation—that great * numbers of men have improved i in conduct —that credit has been improved—that the accounts of I wage earners at the Savings ; Banks show more deposits than | ever—that school attendance has j increased—that there are few’er > industrial accidents each year than when the saloon destroyed j the efficiency of the workers, and caused them to be susceptible to accidents —that in many states inebriate hospitals have been closed for lack of inmates — and that all previous records for home-building, new insurance written, church memberships recorded, and new church buildings erected, have been broken. “Much has been accomplished —much remains to be accomplished, but w’hen it is recalled that as a Nation we have been dealing with this problem for on- ; ly four years, whereas the legalized liquor industry flourished (for the preceding 143 years of . the Nation’s life, the progress al- ■ ready registered is certainly 'noteworthy, and if the successes ; could only be stressed as generally as the instances of partial failure, the progress would be immeasurably, speeded up." PUBLIt’ DEW REDIVED The public debt, which cost the taxpayers of the country about a billion dollars in interest this year, was reduced $861,441,000 in the twelve months ending September 30, the United States Treasury has announced. ’The debt in August was cut $189,000,000, leaving total outstanding obligations of $20,841,959, compared to the maximum of $25,478,592,113, August 31, 1919. —o . . During the past year more than 42.000 buildings, mainly apartment houses, have been erected in New York city. The real estate valuation was increased over a billion and a half of dollars. HOW’S THIS?

Based on 6,000 miles of travel the gasoline taxes and auto license fees average one-quarter of a cent per mile. This is a pretty low .cost when compared to the old tool-road system. Over 80 per cent of the license fees and 58 per cent of the gas tax goes to state highways, and about half of the remainder is expended by counties for road purposes. Its the best state and national investment ever made. o— A Kansas farmer has a mowing machine he has used every season since 1861 and a binder that he has used for 40 years with a total repair bill of 90 cents. The secret of such economy in equipment is good care, he says, which means first of all a tight tool shed for machinery, and covering for expensive equipment when it is not in use. o Most Girls Can HaveJPretty Eyes No girl or woman Is pretty if her eyes, are or have dark rings.
