LARGE REVENUES
FROM PROHIBITION
COMMISSIONER HAYNES SAYS
INCOME is MANY TIMES
EXPENSES.
MAKES TALK IN PHILADELPHIA
Declares Liquor Is More Difficult to
Get Than It Has Ever Been
In America.

Philadelphia = Revenues from the
Aational prohibition act should pay
many times over for the $10,000,00O
appropriated for the enforcement OF
the dry laws during the coming year.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes de-
clared in an address.
1T would be interesting to the PEG,
pie to know" he said. that If we were
to collect the fines, penalties and spe'
cial tax imposed upon violators of the
law in the first six months of this adj
ministration, they would more than
pay two and one-half times the esti'
mated cost of enforcing the prohibi'
ton law for the next year These
enormous figures do not include near
ly 100000 in bonds that are being
forfeited to the government, or 49,.
100000 that have been offered in com.
promise by q Of the large violators
OF the law and do not include the &c.
100000 in differential or prohibitive
tax that have been referred to pre-
viously.
Mr.. Haynes declared that 10 months
OF renewed effort to restrict good
liquor into legitimate channels the re-
suit is perhaps as nearly achieve
ment as possible
Immediately preceding prohibition
he stated, there was an annual con
sumption in the country of about 130,,
100000 gallons Of American-made
whiskey. while during the year 1920
approximately 12500,000 gallons of
whiskey was withdrawn from ware.
houses under permits and in 1921
Withdrawals amounted to about $500.
600 gallons. On the basis Of the last
three or four months, he reported, |
Withdrawals this year will amount to
about 100000 gallons. which is per.
haps only about 100000 gallons in ex.
cess of normal medicinal require.
ments."
Asserting that there was a propa
ganda to create the impression that
the prohibition law was non-operative,
Mr.. Haynes said:
1T is significant that at the time
when liquor is most difficult TO OBJ.
tain in all our history, when drunk
enness has decreased to a very appre.
ciable degree, when convictions are
becoming most numerous, that at
such time the largest amount of
