WHEELER MAKES REPLY.
Saws Cost of Prohibition Is Small
Part of Benefit.

"Prohibition and its enforcement
cost the government only small
amount in comparison to it's benefit"
was the reply of Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, to the resolution of Mr.. An
drews, which was introduced at the
directors meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last night. In formal
statement Mr. Wheeler said:
The federal law enforcement de-
partment is practically the only fed
eral department that about pays it's
way with fines and forfeited bonds
collected from the law violators. and
the prohibitive taxes assessed against
the illegal sale of liquor. Over $780,
0G0.0 in prohibitive taxes have been
listed against these Illicit dealers and
half. at least, can be collected If the
revenue collectors do their duty.
prohibition is saving this country
over a billion dollars a year directly,
and more than that indirectly. 1t has
decreased arrests for drunkenness in
former wet territory more than so
per cent throughout the nation. while
England during the year 1929, in
creased her convictions for. drunken
ness S5.26 per cent, according to the
official report just filed with parlia-
ment. In the city of Washington
there has been marvellous decrease
in arrests for drunkenness, as COM
pared with the year when the saloons
were open"
