PAGE TEN PEE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON klONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1922 GET RICH ON BOOZE PERMITS Bootleggers Amassing Millions from Alcohol With drawn From Bond Illegally . Shields Appoints New Committees of Kiwanis Club By William J. Huske. Cleveland, Ohio, Jua. 30. There are hundreds In Ohio today who owe their wealth to abuse of the government permit system (or the release of alcohol, William A Weygant, former federal prohlbl tlon Inspector attached to the Cleveland office of the dry en forcement organization, told In ternational News Service today. Weygant was for two years bead of the permit division of the Cleveland office charged with en forcement of federal prohibition. 'Bootleggers and their confed erates are amassing fortunes through deceiving government gents," he declared. "Somehow they seem to be a little shrewaor than the men hired by Uncle Sam to prevent the unlawful withdraw Bl of Intoxicants." He advocated abolition of the basic or annual permit. He do ciarea mat ne believed It was through the abuse of these annual permits that the greater part of the Illicit alcohol reached bands of bootleggers. Bootleggers operating on a wholesale scale get control of some business that legally would require the ubb of large quantities of grain alcohol, Meygandt said. This legal UBe, however, is fre quently only a blind to cover the real operations of the bootlegger de luxe, who, by doctoring his books and records, lu enabled to color and dilute his alcohol and eell it for many tlmea its commer cial value. "One auch bootlegger," Wey gandt continued, "is reported on the streets of Cleveland to have made over a million dollars last year before his permit was final ly revoked. He sold vast quanti ties of 'hair tonic' I understand that one Ohio city, with a popula tion of 8000, used 442 gallon,, of 'hair tonic' In a elngle month from mm -manufacturer enough to grow hair on all the Mexican hair less dogs in the world and give to -very bald-headed denizen of the town a hirsute covering that would make Godiva Jf she still lived turn green with envy." . The big fellows, Weygandt said, r rarely caught. They have men on their staffs who are paid a sal ary to go to Jail if the worst comes. Wages for this work are high, too. The average wage Is Bald to be $50 per day for serving a prison sen tence. . Adroit bookkeepers, adept at falsifying the records, also have o trouble in finding employment with these concerns, he said. Soon er or later these manufacturers are detected, but generally when that time comes the real owners have maae a fortune and slip out of the concern, leaving Borne of their Hirelings to hold the bag, it was said. Committees for this year have been announced by Roy Shields, president of the Kiwanis club mere are 13 committees, every member of the club serving on one according to the rules of the or ganlzation.
