PROHIBITION AND
FEDERAL REVENUE
GOVERNMENT OFFICERS TRYING
HARD TO FlfD OUT THEIR
>ELATIoNS.
RECEIPTS SHOW DEFICIT OF
NEARLY SIS, 100000 FOR LAST
FISCAL YEAR.

Washington, August lq-lnternai
revenue officials are trying 10 figure
out, and thus far their efforts show
small indications of success, Just how
much the prohibition wave winch
has swept over the country has cost
the government in annual revenues
The revenue collected on liquors ana
spirits of all kinds shows deficit
of s5,290,773.03 for the last fiscal
year, according to the preliminary
report of the commissioner of inter
nal evenue. The deficit is not. how
ever. wholly ascribed to the prohibit
ton wave, and inasmuch as prohibit
ton territory is still growing while
the revenue for the last month shows
signs of cutting away the deficit of
last year, it is at once apparent that
there are other causes affecting the
internal revenues liquor revenues be
sides prohibition.
The panic of 1907 marked the
beginning of the downfall OF the IL
quor revenues of the government,
and not the prohibition movement,
which. even then, was well under
way. In fact the liquor dealers
themselves have steadfastly refused
to ascribe this falling Off of revenue
to the prohibition wave, except for
pol teal purposes. Nevertheless pro
hibition has admittedly been a fac
tor whether the liquor dealers choose
to admit II or not

The treasury department, however.
is cognizant Of the fact that the pro
hibition wave has given an impetus
to wildcat or "moonshine" liquor
Throughout the mountain states OF
the south, where wildcat" dIstilling
IS a heritage of generations in the
mountain districts, there has been a
marked increase noticeable in the
manufacture of Illicit whiskey. 1t Ia
yet too early to estimate the extent
70 which this Illegal business has
grown as result Of prohibition. and,
furthermore, the internal revenue
agents never know the exact extent
Of it at any time. n they did. 1t
would 30 long prosper However.
the records show that the revenue
agents in the South are mostly en-
gagged in continuous raids, first n
one section and then another. rec

cent years.
Georgia furnishes one VI the most
striking examples of this increase.
Although "mooSshin.ng' prospers
most In the early fall, when grains
and fruits are ripe. J. II. surber, the
internal revenue agent, stationed a;

in November it was $40 100000 The

about this radical change 1t is sur
missed by them that tariff legislation

wet states have done something to

and It is even suggested that he
consumption of wet" goods per cap

Therefore they do not care to say
Just what proportion of this com.

The reason for this official retic

missioner of internal revenue has
been besieged by both the VETS
and the "drys" to- furnish arguments
for the liquor controversy. The com,
missioner and his assistants, as well
as their predecessors. have never
felt that the controversial side OF
the liquor question was any Of their
business, and they have readily fore,
seen the traps and pitfalls which
would make Of their bureau a storm
center Of argument elimination, and
recTimination, If they entered into II
in any way. Their sole duty, &C.
cOrding to law. and ag they see it,
is to collect an internal revenue tar
on liquor wherever and by whomso
ever made. and there il ends.
