The Administrators plan for q
hsweeping reorganization of the Fed
0ral prohibition system is to abolish
the supervising enforcement agent
who now has charge of the dry"
work of two or three States, and to
center prohibition enforcement in
each State entirely in the hands Of
its prohibition director.
POWERS TO BE ENLARGED.
The powers OF each OF the forty
eight State prohibition directors are
TO be SO enlarged that he will not only
have complete supervision over the
: detection and prosecution of evaders
or yiolators of the Federal "dry"
laws, but of the Federal antt-drug
act. within the borders of his State.
This was disclosed today to the
Senate Finance and House Ways and
Means committees when the Admins
tration's plan for a general shake-up
OF the Federal prohibition enforce
ment organization was submitted TO
them, following conferences between
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Blair. and National Prohibition En-
forcement Commissioners Haynes.
In mapping out its plan, the Ad-
tion that the laws prohibiting the
liquids for drinking purposes are 10
remain a fixture, despite any modifca-
tions of the yolstead act the "wets''
may attempt.
RIGID ENFORCEMENT PLANNED.
Rigid enforcement of the provisions
OF the Volstead act, and of the new
anti-beer bill just passed by the
House, and about TO pass the Senate. IL
the purpose OF the plan, which in
wolves the creation Of many new Fed
eral jobs and the expenditure of hum
dreds of thousands of good Federal
dollars.
Senator Penrose. Republican, OF
Pennsylvania, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee. and Congressman
FordHey. Republican. of Michigan,
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, have both been con-
suited about the plan, for their COM
mittees will be called upon to furnish
the financial sinews essential to its
success. 1t has been made plain that
If the prohibition lawssare to be en-
forced successfully the country's tax
payers must expect to pay large
sized bill for such enforcement dur
ing each succeeding fiscal year.
Pennsylvania as one of the most
populous States, affords a typical ex-
ample of the new prohibition en-
forcement machinery the Administra-
tion proposes to set up with the ap-
proval of the dry" majority in con-
troll OF Congress. Under the new sys-
tenn the payroll alone of the Pennsyl-
vania Federal prohibition director sni
his subordinates will total s2s2, 900

tions. Tho real "poiice work" 10 done
by the supervising enrorcement agent.
Such an agent now pursues "hooch'
adicts In the three States OF Pennsyt-
vAnia. New Jersey, and Delaware. Un-
der the new system he would cease tn
exist, and the Federal prohibition d.
rector OF each of the three States
would do the police work" in ais
particular States.
In other words. enforcement OF the
dry laws In any one of the forty
eight States IL TO be left entirely to
the Federal prohibition director of
that State, With the National prohibit
tion enforcement commissioner look
ing on to see that he complies wisn
specifications"
There is to be no further conflict
or division of authority between tie
supervising enforcement agent anf
the State Federal prohibition director.
What is true OF Pennsyivania un-
der the new system is applicable to
other largely populated State. like
New York New Jersey, Ohio. Massa-
chusetts and Illinois.
COST TO BE BIG IN PENNsY.
Pennsylvania IL to have nrst of all
a Federal prohibition director at
$4,000 a year with an assistant ut
$4,000. The director is to be allotted
one clerk at S1.6OO and the assistant
one clerk at sf.4oo. There are to he
162 other Federal Jobs, which will
afford some additional fat patronage
for the Republican organization in
Pennsylvania. of which Senator PEN
rose Is now the acknowledged loader.
There will be a narcotic aGentAn-
charge at $4,000. with eight subordi-
nate agents and inspectors at $4,000
each--a total of $16.0O0--and one
clerk at 81, 400.
Actual prohibition enforcement will
be divided into three State divisions
the field. with a chief at - 600:
the executive. with a chief at 81 600.
and the legal with a chief at 81 0O0-
The field head will have two clerks
at 81 800 each. and the other chiefs
viii be given one clerk each at 81 400
and $1,000. respectively.
DRY AGENTS COST e106.100.
Then there will be fifty-seven pro-
hibition agents, whose payroll will
total S106,100: nfty-hve clerks, who
will draw salaries aggregating 49,
200. and forty warehouse agents.
whose payroll will total $50, 900.
The outlay for enforcing prohibi-
tion in Pennsylvania under the new
system Is not expected. however. to
exceed the cost of the present one.
which, Administration of1cials ad-
init. has not prevented the state from
continuing to be one of the wet"
ones left
The narcotic agents and inspectors.
and the prohibition clerks are sub
ject to civil service rules. but the
director, the division heads and the
rest Of the force are not. which makes
their appointment In Pennsylvania
seem all the more desirable to Sena-
tor Penrose and his political asso-
ciates.
