TAYLOR'S REPORT
ON DISPENSARY
Oklahoma Reports Show Net Earn.
inss Of Six Thousand Dollars
From Booze.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. 11.-Total ex.
lpenditures, including losses from
breakage, etc. of $2S,OO9.1O, or over
1000 month, are shown to have
been incurred by the state dispensary
for the eight months from June /,
1909, to January 81, 1910, in the report
of State Examiner and Inspector
Charles A. Taylor, covering that period
made public today. OF these expendi-
lures s7O97s4 were paid out for sal
aries and travelling expenses, or a lit
tie less than $1,000 a month, the bal
ance representing the expense Of con-
ducting the local agencies and hand
ling confscated liquors.
The report shows that during that
period the gross profits OF the state
dispensary amounted 20 s34,215.1s,
leaving a net profit of $6,206.0s for the
eight months. Attention, however Is
called to the fact that the expenses
OF the agency for January are not In
cluded in the report and should be de-
Quoted from the earnings, and that in
the report no account is taken Of what
may be due the various county OH
GERS for the part they have taken in
confiscation OF liquors.
The report states that out Of the
$4,000 appropriated by the first leg
islature for the enforcement of the
prohibition. only S211 still remains un-
expended
One expenditure of this approprla-
tion is criticised-that OF S1S750 to
the Oklahoma Publishing company TO
pay for the printing Of the report Of
the special committee of preachers
and anti-saloon league officers, who
were called to Guthrie by the COVER
nor to pass upon Inspector Taylors
first report of the condition of the
state dispensary
I'VE question the authority OF the
state agency in paying for this class
of service and charging the same to
enforcement OF any other account,
says the report.
The report calls attention to the
81 600 bond given by the Missouri
Company OF Kansas City
in connection with It's bid to purchase
eonfiscated liquors from the state
agency and declares that such bond
does not appear to have been signed |
by any one as surety"
With regard to goods left in the |
hands of local agencies that have not |
been reopened. the state examiner rec I
that these should be return
