CAN NOW LOCATE BLIND TIGERS1
Act of Congress Enables State to
Prosecute Persons holding
(lovernment License
Near the close of the last Con
gress an act was passed which is j
of peculiar importance in Arkan-;
I sas because of existing state laws. !
The new law, which was approv
i ed by President Roosevelt on June j
121, will make it possible, it is j
| claimed, for the state officers to j
force every person who has gov
ernment liquor license in his pos- ;
session to pay tines or quit the j
business. This, it is expected,will
drive out of business many blind !
tigers, the proprietors of which |
I fear to risk prosecution at the j
! hands of the federal government, j
and therefore pay the government j
; tax.
There is a law in Arkansas which
provides that the possession of a
: government liquor license shall be
' prima facie evidence that the hold
er is engaged in the business of
■ selling liquor and he must pay
! the state license. In the past it
11ms been impossible for the prose
j cuting attorneys to take advantage j
of this law to any extent, as the
internal revenue officers, under a
rule of the department, have re
fused to disclose the names of the
persons to whom government liq-j
our licenses have been issued.
Attempts have been made several
times to have the collector of in
ternal revenue to disclose the
names of persons holding license,
j but without success.
; The new law passed by Congress
! removes every difficulty in the
i way of the state officers, as it forc
es the internal revenue collectors
to display a list of the persons
who have paid the special tax and
requires him to furnish a certified
copy of the list when required to
I do so. The new law is as follows:
‘’Be it enacted by the Senate
j and House of Representatives of
' the Enited States of America, in'
{Congress Assembled, That Chap-j
ter 3 of the Revised Statutes of
i
the I'nited States be and hereby
is amended in section 3240, so as
to read:
“Section 3240. Each collector
of internal revenue shall, under
regulations of the commissioner j
of internal revenue, place and
keep conspicuously in his office,
for public inspection, an alpha
betical list of the names of all per
sons who shall have paid special
taxes within his district, and shall
stale thereon the time, place and
business for which such special
taxes have been paid, and upon
application of any prosecuting of
ficer of any state, county or mu
nicipality he shall furnish a certi
fied copy thereof, as of a public
record, for which a fee of one dol
lar for each 100 words, or fraction
thereof, in the copy or copies so
requested may be charged."
Fire at Melbourne Saturday

gate loss of $20,000.
