have Government permits, but who have
not complied with the State prohibition
Law, and the State Temperance Union
wants the evidence from this Collector s
Office to be used in prosecuting them. The
Collector appealed to Joseph 5. Miller,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, who. in

the desired information, and IN case of q
