NOTSON, Reporter. To bear some of the wets talk, you would think that moonshining was never heard of until after the eighteenth amendment was adopted. In 1901, a federal officer shipped from Lexington a still which he had seized in the mountains south of Hardman. Several barrels of mash were destroyed at the site of the still. At that time there were four teen saloons in Morrow county. Something like four years ago, op eratives working under the direc tion of Sheriff McDuffee captured a still near the Morrow-Umatilla coun ty line. A prominent citizen of that part of the county told the officers that he had seen that still in that neighborhood more than thirty years before. At that time saloons were running In all the towns and liquor was cheap, but moonshining went on. The United States is compared with Great Britain very frequently as to law enforcement, and the comparison is very unfavorable to the United States. However, the following Associated Press news dispatch published in the newspa pers of this country shows some thing of the conditions as to the illicit liquor business over there: "London. Bootleg liquor is an noying the authorities of this met ropolis. Some of it is smuggled in from abroad; some is made by illicit distillers in the London dock area. What makes such venture profitable is the tax of $2 which is levied on every $3 bottle fo whiskey sold in England." In Canada, where, under govern ment control, liquor may be easily bought in a legal way, they have trouble with illicit liquor business. Several high powered motor boats are employed twenty-four hours a day in an attempt to keep the rum runners from landing cargoes of li quor on Vancouver Island, and they do not succeed. The bootlegger, the blind-pig, and the speakeasy are in business because they can make a profit and still sell at a price be tween the rum-runners' price and government price. Government con trol does not solve the problem. The fact is, John Barleycorn is an out law and always has been.
