Who would turn back now? Not even the most dis

go back to the days when the liquor industry

seek personal profit from the destruction and death of
others.
Has it been worth while? No has been able to

The Cost of Enforcement and the Profits

Recently many newspapers have taken up consider
able space with material on the of prohibition
forcement a news article sent out from Washington
stated that federal enforcement has cost sixty million
dollars in FIVE years. This article widely published
asd freely commented upon, especially by editors
friendly TO the 18th Amendment. Practically without
exception these articles and editorials mentioned only
the COST and completely ignored the PROFITS of
prohibition.
During the past fiscal year the federal courts OF Il-
nois alone collected $42S077 i'll fines and penalties from
liquor law vioators. 1904 500 of this was col
leced in the Chicago district For the entire nation the
sum of So 55S Ia collected into the treasury in the
form of taxes penalties fines and oreures in
nection with prohibition enforcement The total ap-
praised value of property seized but not destroyed dur
ing the year was $7,745952 The cash alone go
a long way toward balancing the enforcement appro-
pration of ten million for the year.
The above figures refer to federal enforcement only.
Vast sums and above the of enforcement have
been put into the public treasury the result of local
enforcement work. Here are some facts that ought
open the eyes of some editors who apparently do not
realize that prohibition enforcement collections offset
the costs In 1928 Lake county collected $466H in
liquor fines at a cost of about $4,000. Adams county
collected $4,000 at a cost OF about ST, 900. Bureau
county collected $50 at a of about $3S75 De-
Kab county collected 5000 cost of about 1000.
Wheside county collected $12817 at a cost of about
81 500 Figures covering fortythree counties, all from
which reports available show that in these counties
total of $2o480l was collected from liquor law break
ers at approximate cost of $46,l20.
In addition to enforcement returns to the county mu-

Who is Complaining?

It is the friends of prohibition that criticizng
the law. 1t is the newspapers that wet before pro-
hbition, that said prohibition would work, and
that do not want prohibition to be 1t is the
politicians who wet before prohibition 1t is the
who made money out OF alcoholic poisons before
America went dry. 1t is those who wanted their booze
before prohibition and want their booze Practi-
cally every enemy of prohibition opposed to
dry laws five years ago. Friends of the Eighteenth
Amendment still in favor of prohibition and their
number has been greatly added by honest opponents
who have changed their minds This is proven by in

BIG BUSINESS AND THE BOOTLECCERS

There many indications that America is not going
to tolerate the awess attitude of mpudent minority
of the people who to think that they own the
United States and conduct themselves as they
please, law law. One of these signs is the
straight-rom- shoulder stand taken by of the
big industries of the country 1t has been made very
plain to the employees of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company in warning recently issued, that the
agement of that and its allied interests going
to get along without the services of who
gagged i'll any form of illicit liquor traffic, and that inn
mediate discharge will follow detection of men employed
by them who engaged in bootlegging. Pennsyl-
