Legitimate dealers in alcoholic prep
arations should be vitality interested in the
PRONUNCIATION and enforcement of laws
and regulations necessary to prevent the
diversion of alcohol and Intoxicating liq-
uors to beverage use There are few
trade groups which have as keen an inter-
est i'll this subject. There are a number
OF reasons for this. The membership of
these organizations comprises citizens
who are engaged in the manufacture of
preparations, the most of which have a
direct relation to the public health of the
country. 1t is imperative, therefore, that
the products which they produce shall be
maintained at the highest standard of
purity and by so doing, contribute to the
general welfare and thereby increase the
demand of the public for such products
and preparations.
The existence of fake alcoholic prep
arations with no therapeutic value which
make no contribution to the public well
fare, tends to reflect discredit upon that
vast number of legitimate manufacturers
who comprise these groups. The sooner
these leeches of the public and COMPETE
tors of honest business are exterminated,
the better it will be for the country as a
whole and for the industry. These or
CARNATIONS were designed to protect
their members from such unworthy COM
petition and promote the interest of that
membership Aside from any relation to
the prohibition question, these represen-
tatives of the trade have had to combat
the schemes of get-rich-quick promoters
who seek to make fraudulent prepara-
tons" The advent Of prohibition added
new feature to the problem in this re-
spect. Many persons desiring to engage
in the illicit liquor traffic have attempted
to do so by seeking to obtain permits as
manufacturers of some proprietary prep
arations. In other words, they have at
tempted to use legitimate business as
screen behind which to hide their nefa-
rious activities If these illicit dealers are
successful in their efforts in obtaining
permit it presents a three-fold danger;
first, the danger to the public health in
many instances of the sale of products
er has no professional pride which
prompts him to maintain his product to
the standard of purity as does a legiti-
mate manufacturer; second in order to
better screen their illegal operations in
liquor and to increase their Withdrawals
such operators seek to increase their
sales of their so-called proprietary med
ieines by cutting prices. This means I'M
fair and unjust competition. Third, if
such illicit manufacturers are permitted
to flood the market with fake prepara-
tons and to sell alcohol or liquor on the
side, experience has shown that it newt
ably means that public sentiment will de-
mand more strict legislation and regula-
tons governing the manufacture and sale
of proprietary preparations generally The
dealers have had experience with drastic
legislation in some of the states along
these lines.

in the prohibition movement to impose

be OF great benefit to the legitimate BUSH
ness, because it would enable the alcohol
using industry and the public TO fix re-
sponsibility for the success or failure of
prohibition enforcement. In the event
that too great quantities OF alcohol were
permitted to be withdrawn by improper
permitteeS, the commissioner could bo
held responsible On the other hand. If
undue restrictions were placed upon le-
climate users of alcohol, responsibility
for the restriction could be fixed by any
organization or groups vitality interested in
the matter. Legitimate interests would
be fully protected from the exercise of
any arbitrary or unreasonable power by
the Commissioner OF Prohibition through
that he shall be supervised by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Furthermore, all
regulations which would be issued by tho
Commissioner of Prohibition would have
to be approved by the Secretary OF the
Treasury. In the event OF any dissatis-
faction upon the part of any ruling of tho
commissioner an appeal could be taken
direct to the Secretary OF the Treasury.
In addition to this, the bill expressly
provides that the right to a review of the
finding OF the commissioner by a court of
equity of the compliments own choice
provided in the original National Prohi-
biton Act shall be retained.
An effort is beng made 10 have tho
chief OF the Division of Industrial Alco-
hol and Chemistry appointed by the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury instead OF by the
Prohibition Commissioner. This, if en-
acted, would result in a continuation of
the present system of divided response
bility. 1t would mean that one officer
would control the withdrawal OF alcohol
and liquor while another would be
charged with the duty OF detecting vio-
lations. Whenever there was in any COM
munity breakdown in law enforcement,
it would be charged by the department
authorized to issue permits that the fault
was due to the ineffectiveness of the di-
vision charged with the detection of vio-
lations. On the other hand, the Depart
ment charged with detection of violations
would alege the fault to be that Of the
permit division in granting permits for
excessive quantities and to improper per-
mittecs. The success Of prohibition en-
forcement depends very largely upon the
proper control OF liquor for non-beverage
use; therefore, restrictions arc necessary.
No business could be successfully admin
istered which permitted its buyers to pur-
chase without regard to tie, amount of
its sales or the conditions of its hnan-
ciers. Some executive officer is required
to give personal supervision over both
subjects and to determine business pol
icies.
The effective administration of the pro-
hibiton law by the government, there
fore, by the same logic requires that there
be a single officer who shall be familiar
with the violators OF the law and the ex-
tent of the violations in order to properly
administer the permit system. A single
officer dealing directly with the alcohol
using trade will become acquainted with
the needs of legitimate industry and can
meet their requirements, while at the
same fine the information which he

Whether these companies will cut
prices at Fl. Wayne TO meet the de.
crease is not known. Fl. Wayne
is in a district separate from In.

dependent companies cut the price to
compete with Ohio companies en-
