WANTS THE STUFF
The Government Would Take Confis-
Gated Booze for the Making
of War Supplies.

TOPEKA, Kan.,-The government
pours into the sewers after 1t is con-
fiscated by county and city officers
In raids on bootleggers.
Governor Capper received a letter
from the war department saying
that the government would like to
stop this waste and have the liquor
redistilled and the alcohol used in
making munitions. The latter asked
the governor II there was anything to
prevent the state turning over to the
government such confiscate liquors
to be redistilled. The state law re-
quires that all liquors confiscated In
Kansas be destroyed and the bottles
or other containers destroyed. While
this might prevent the state turning
the liquor over. there is nothing to
prevent the government making a
requisition on the state for any liquors
that may be in the hands OF any local
officials.
But Kansas gets only small lots of
liquor now. The bone dry law is so
drastic that the old time bootlegsers
have quit and 1t is only once in a
while that any considerable quantity
is taken. Many arrests are made and
few quarts confiscated at a time.
while In former years it was not un-
usual to get several wagon loads in
one raid. However the government
can have all the liquor the state can
get Its hands on. only the state cannot
give It away ana the government must
come along and take It.
