 The government at Washington through the internal revenue service, is in effect giving moral support and assistance to bootleggers and other lawless vendors of intoxicants to such an open and notorious extent that the affair is scandalous in itself, besides being the means of breeding contempt among our people for their general government
 Internal revenue officers are daily selling federal stamps to outlaws. The federal law requiring the posting in a conspicuous place is violated with impunity.' and the ruling of the treas- ury department that credit for sixty days may be extended to these male- factors is an outrage on the temper ance states"
 The governor has appealed to Pres- ident Taft for assistance. He wants the government to require all pur- chasers of revenue stamps to get stamps for a definite location and require them to maintain that place and keep the license posted The prima facie evidence of violation of the liquor laws. under the present Kansas statutes.
