MANY FINED IN LIQUOR CASES
 BUT FEW PAY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - How profitable is prohibition. from the standpoint of operating law enforce ment organizations?
 This absorbing query, asked by those who sometimes doubt the claim that it is profitable-although ad- hitting freely that prohibition pro- hibits-is answered by prohibition of- ficials.
 Figures that speak for themselves, and were obtained from the official record of Prohibition Commissioner Haynes. showed disappointment on this point:
 Earlier forecasts were that pro- hibition enforcement costs would be offset by tax collections or other sources of revenue from violators. In truth, the estimated amount, of assessments, taxes and penalties, im- posed in 10000 cases, amounted to $57,5oo,ooo. Of this sum only $3,oo0,- 900 has actually been collected by the Government.
 MANY CASES ON DockETs
 It is not possible for officials to estimate the cost to the Govern ment in prosecuting cases, hung up in courts all over the United States and which are stubbornly contested by bootleggers, illicit distillers and others charged with attractions of the Volstead law.
 The cost of this long-drawn-out litigation, however, runs into large sum and can only be figured perhaps in the heavier financial burdens shown in operating the De- partment of Justice, it's various Fed eral District Attorneys offices and in the added costs to the other ends of the Governments legal machinery.
 The policy of the prohibition en- forcement unit has called for the destruction of most of the 95O,ooo gallons of whiskey and other spirits and wine seized during the year. so this. as a possible source of revenue to offset heavy operating costs. does rot enter into the calculation as an asset.
 MILLIONS IN BOOZE SEIZED
 The estimated value of property seized or destroyed is $12,9O7,O0O. Most of this was distillery appara- tus and liquors. How much real ef- fort was made to discover among the liquors seized good whiskey that might have been turned into legitimate medicinal channels for use of hospitals or other institutions probably will never be known Records on this score have either not been compiled or if obtained in any manner have been carefully con- cealed by prohibition officials.
 AS against these figures Commis- sioner Haynes estimates that the nations drink bill has decreased s2.OOO. .OOO,O00 He maintains that the costs of enforcement, whatever, they may be. are justified. On this arg ument he expects to spend about s2, 900. 900 more this year, his total expenditure running about s9,OOO,OO0.

SEES BRIGHT FUTURE
 FOR CATTLE BUSINESS

Cattle of the Upper Verde district are looking good. and good mar ket is expected for tine spring ship ments this year, although no cattle have been sold as yet, reports H. B. Wales, Prescott forest supervisor, who with Robert Munro, assistant supervisor, attended a meeting of the advisor board of the Sycamore Cienega Cattle Growers association at the V-Bar ranch
 Plans for the spring roundup which will take place soon, were dis cussed at the meeting. Jim Reeves expressed the conviction, against some lack of agreement, that the next three or four years will bring the cattlemen out of their financial troubles. Bad as the slump has been, he said, he felt that three or four years more, if they could weather the storm, would find the cattle growing business restored to its for mer firm financial basis.
