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

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.

The Pacific International Live Stock Expos:ton which will be held at
North Portland this year, November 5-12, will probably contain the largest

be 1000 head. In view of the fact that all the fairs and shows In tho

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.
