 Washington, April -(Speeial.)- What has prohibition cost the fed eral government? Approximately $t,- o0o,oO0,oOo.
 Everybody has his own ideas as to the effect of prohibition, It's merits and demerits. Everybody has his own opinion as to whether prohibit tion has been enforced or can be en- forced. And everybody Is satisfied or dissatisfied with the experiment..
 But in actual dollars and cents, few people know what prohibition has cost-not owners of confiscated pro- perty, not in the decreased value of real estate, not in loss of revenue to cities, counties and states-but the national government.
 Stupendous Figures -ss Figures have been made available for publication in this newspaper. First of all, there is loss of revenue. For each of the two years immedi- ately preceding attempts to enforce the eighteenth amendment the gov- ~ernment received in cold cash nearly half billion dollars from the man ssufacture of liquor
 In the fiscal year, 1918, it was S126, 100000 on fermented liquors and 4$3l7, ,5o0, 900 on spirits, or a total of ~S443500, ,000. In 1919. it was $11S,- ~-000. 900 on fermented liquors, and -s365. 900, 900 on spirits, total of s-s4ss, 00O,O00.

 Appropriations to Date
 The appropriations to date on ac- count of the enforcement of eonsti- tutional prohibition, total $26,950.000. The national prohibition act, which became law october 2S, 1919, car- ried an appropriation of $2,1O0,000; the legislative, judicial and executive appropriation act, which became law May %, 1920, carried a prohibition appropriation of $4,500, 900; the sun dry civil act. approved June 5, 1920, added $1,000,000; the second defic- iency act, approved March 6. 1920, added still another S1,00O.O00; the leg islatiVe, executive and judicial ap- propriation act, approved March 3, 1921, carried a liquor appropriation of s7,500,00O; the first deficiency act, 1921, approved March 1, carried for prohibition $1,400, 000i the second de- ficiency act, 1921, approved June l6, carried $200.000; the treasury depart ment appropriation act, approved February IT, 1922 (for the fiscal year 1923), contained a prohibition item of $9,250,000.
 Can't He TabuIated
 In addition, the department of jus tice, out of a lump appropriation of S2, 100000 for law enforcement used in 1921 and 1922, $900,O00 in behalf of prohibition enforcement. The justice department appropriation bill now pending, carries specific items of S150.O00 and s200000, total of $350.- GOO, for prohibition work. and be- sides this, it is possible that the de- partment make use of certain other available funds carried in the bill.
 In addition, the entire court ma chinery of the country is available for prohibition legislation, and the customs service and coast guard do great deal of enforcement work,
 So, after all, 1t is impossible 10 tabulate the entire cost.
