been demonstrated as impra tical and
expensive. Prohibition laws are be.
ing enforced where the local officers,
selected by the people, enforce them.
and not elsewhere. Law enforcement
comes when responsibility is fixed on
local officers and not when it is
scattered where the people cannot
compel an accounting.
