FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK Prohibition Unit Earn ing More For Govern ment Than It Spends Report Shows It Is S'ot Difficult to ' Obtain Convictions Under Lai. Washington, Oct. 25. Although the federal prohibition unit of the internal revenue bureau was not created in the expectation that it would prove self-sustaining, a com pilation of figures just issued from the Washington headquarters of the unit shows that the United States Treasury is ahead of the game by reason of its activities. The cost of the efforts to enforce prohibition for the last fiscal year was $6,250,095. The chief items of expense were sal aries, totaling $3,500,000, and travel ing expenses, totaling $1,400,000. The appropriation and expendi ture of this sum of money has made the prohibition unit the object of much criticism upon the part of those who were opposed to the Eighteenth Amendment and its enforcement. At the time the appropriatitons were made to carry the units its critics claimed it would cost the govern ment more to attempt to enforce pro hibition than the liquor traffic had cost the nation economically before the days of prohibition. It was also predicted that the initial appropria tion would have to be supplemented and that future appropriations would be increasingly larger. Income Exceeds Outlay. In answer to these claims, the pro hibition unit now submits the follow ing statistics. To offset its expendi tures of six and a quarter million dol lars it has collected in fines $2,152, 3S7. In addition to these fines prop erty has been seized, which is ap praised at $10,906,687. Among other items of property seized were 599 automobiles, 35 boats, II wag ons, 16 horses, 20 mules, and two tracts of land in addition to several hundred thousand gallons of dis tilled liquors and wines. From these two items it is seen that the income of the government during the last fiscal year, by reason of the enforce ment of the law by the prohibition unit, was double the cost of the unit. There are yet to be settled hun dreds of cases involving civil penal ties, special taxes, etc. These cases, if the defendants are found guilty, would bring the government maxi mum fines aggregating more than fifty million dollars. While it is noi epected that the government will win all of these cases it will win a very great percentage of them and another liberal percentage will be compromised, so that it is safe to say that several million dollars will be collected from these cases. The prohibition unit has no record of the amount of court fines collect ed in criminal transactions. These are collected by the Department of justice. Law Being Enforced. Among the largest contributors of fines collected during the last fiscal year are the brewers. All told, they paid the United States government Champion Ewe at Live Slink Exposition j r ( : V T i IS fciLfeHrutakiaJ JUL over one million dollars for violation of the prohibition law. During the last year a total of 29,1 14 new crim inal cases involving violations of the prohibition law were docketed; 16,- 610 individuals charged with viola tion of the law pleaded guilty; 17,' 962 were convicted after a plea of not guilty;" and only 675 brought to trial were acquited. These figures dispose of the repeated charge that it is impossible to get the courts to convict violators of the prohibition act. Information collected by the Washington office of the prohibition unit shows a marked improvement in public sentiment in favor of rigid en forcement of the Eighteenth Amend ment. These reports reach Prohibi tion Commissioner Haynes from all sections of the country. SMILE AWHILE Speed Boy ! A darky was on the witness stand testifying as to a shooting scrape. Graphically he told how the prison er drew a revolver, shooting at one George Henry and himself, and of how they ran to save themselves. "How fast did you run?" he was asked. "Fast ez I could, suh !" "And how fast did George Henry run?" "How fast? Boss, ef dat boy had of eat eggs fo' breakfas' he would of flew! Hit and Run. Father's Voice:.. "Maude, hasn't that young man started for home yet?"

Do you know The Pacific International Live Stock Expos:ton which will be held at North Portland this year, November 5-12, will probably contain the largest sheep Ehow in its history. Manager O. M. Plumni'-r belieYes that there may be 1000 head. In view of the fact that all the fairs and shows In tho Northwest this ytar are showing greatly Increased sheep exhibits, bis prophecy Is apt to come true. The animal shown above Is "Oregon Lassie," the champion yearling ewe in the Cheviot breeds, owned by R. A. Templeton of Halsey, Oregon. Western Oregon has long been famous for Its middle wool sheep, and already this year notable winnings have been made by exhibits from this section at fairs and expositions throughout Canada and the eastern part of the United States. Perhaps It was not altogether a fable about Jason adventuring his life In search of the golden fleece. While the wool growerB of the Northwest have had a hard time since the war, the ultimate future of wool and mutton pro duction is certain to be financially profitable. The day will come when no farm will be considered fully stocked without a small flock of sheep. There is bound to be a great demand for breeding stock and the Pacific International will furnish an opportunity uuequaled for securing foundation stock.
