Prohibition And
Internal Revenue
Depends) on How It Is Figured
Whether It Means Loss or
Gain for America
Washington, D. C.—When nation
' al prohibition started on its third
year recently the cost to the United
States had been $650,000,000.
To offset this Irss. according to
national dry leaders, two years of
prohibition swept away the saloon,
cut drunkedness in lialf. decreased
crime and saved two billions of dol
lars for America
A vast improvement in enforce
ment conditions marked prohibi
tion's third anniversary, officials
said. Three "wet spots" remain
where agents are n jw staging clean
ups. These, it wns said, are the'
Florida coast line, the state of New .
Jersey and the city of Chicago.
The Canadian and Mexican bor
ders have been closed to rum smug
glers. it was said, except for a few
short stretches. The smuggling
problem, however. Uas been solved
except along the Florida and New
Jersey coast lines.
Prohibition officials rreeiy admit
ted that illegal importation of li
quors front the Bahama islands gave
them considerable concern. The sit
uation In Michigan, where rum traf
lic from Canada flourished, has been
cleaned up. while "dry patrols" on
the international Korder have clos
ed most of the rum running lines
from Mexico Into Texas.
"There is considerable individual
smuggling across t.1e Canadian bor
der. but most of the smuggling
cliques have been dissolved." said
Commissioner Ha;nes. "It would
take tens of thousands of agents to
completely halt thi* traffic. We are
concerned chiefly with the great
smuggling organisations. Public
opinion will ultimately halt the in
dividual smuggling."
Withdrawals from bonded ware
houses. Havnes sa.d. had dropped
from 23.723.$94 gallons of distilled
spirits and beer in 1920. to only 9.
5T7, 116 gallons ir the second year
of prohibition. The average pre-!
Volstead withdrawal totalled about
100.000.000 gallons, he added |
Only 1.296.SS2 gallons of beer and j
distilled spirits were legally made in
the second Volstead year, Haynes
said, compared with S0.6S2 241 gal
lons in the first dty year and some
220.000.000 annua.lv prior to the
dry regime.
The revenue paid the government
last year from rum sources. Haynes
declared, totalled alout SS5.000.000,
compared to $ 14J.000.000 during
the first Volstead vear and $445,
000,000 in pre-Volstead years. For
the two dry years, the revenue loss
totalled $$(50,000,000.

Deputy Marshal Bill Butler, who
was in close touch with theatrical
affairs in Fairbanks at that time,
is positive the Fairbanks Taylor was
another man altogether. His name
was Charles Taylor and he was con
siderably older than the movie man.

NATIONAL CAPITOL
Washington, March 6.—Secretary
of the Interior Fall has brought In
to the open a row with the depart
ment of agriculture over the pro
posal of the transfc..* and control of
one hundred and twenty million
acres of forest reserves in Alaska to
his department, in a letter to a mem
ber of the house of representatives.
In the letter Secretary Fall de
clares that he is aware that his idea
for the development of the national
resources does not meet with the ap
proval of certain narrow-minded and
biased bureaucratic officials and
their followers, but added that be
cause he would nov alter his policy
he was being subjected to execra
tion.
Public abuse and private calumny
and controversy have been growing
more bitter and for weeks has as
sumed all the aspects of a personal
difference between Secretary Tail
and Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace.
The letter has created quite a sen
sution in the national capitol.

VALI'K OF ADVERTISING
There's no denying the great val
ue of advertising to those who read
it. It protects ycu against fraud
and inferiority. It tells you what
is new and good, making you a
wise buyer. It saves you money by
pointing out for your consideration
only the best products.
