Prohibition Burden
To Tax Collectors

Prohibition has proven severe
burden to the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, according to an admission
yesterday by Internal Revenue Com
missioner Williams. He denied,
however. that the enforcement of
the Volstead act has crippled the
tax-collecting arm of the govern
ment.
TT Is true" said Commissioner
Williams, in response to statements
by DIR. T. S. Adams. consulting ex-
pert of the bureau. in a recent
speech before the credit men and
bankers of Cleveland, Ohio, that
the administrative difficulties of the
present tax laws, together with the
enforcement of the Volstead act,
constitute a severe burden, but the
machinery for the collection of
taxes, as well as for the enforce
ment of the Volstead act, was never
in better condition"
Marked Improvement in the pro-
hibition division has been noted
during the past few months.
