1t is apparent from the facts and figures received from

The size of the county the criterion of enforcement;

States Attorneys Enforcing the
Prohibition Law

Recently the legal department of the Anti-Saloon
League made inquiry to States Attorneys for results in
prohibition enforcement in 1927. We quoting from
reports typical of others received and of the progress
being made throu hout the One states attorney,
after making excellent report says 1--WE have nabbed
all the fragrant volators and this county is cleaned
up" In another difficult section the States Attorney
closed thrty-hree places by injunction and takes pride
in the fact that this is probably the record places
padlocked Still another fine report contains the fol-
lowing observations
at is my honest opinion that there is not ten per
cent Of the amount Of liquor consumed today
consumed ten years ago. During he past three years
the fines collected have paid all the expenses of my Of
flee and my entire salary, and have probably fifteen
hundred or two thousand dollars hand which, with
the amount that will be collected during the coming
year. will pay my salary and expenses In other words,
during the four years of my term fines collected will
pay my salary of $4,000 and all the expenses OF my
office. Eighty per OF these fines arise from prose-
cutting liquor cases"
Jail sentences the remedy: 81 believe the fine system
is wrong and that there should be a mandatory Jail
sentence. The County Board would not appropriate
nickel for the enforcement of the prohibition law if
did not collect fines consequently it is necessary
for me to take fines in when | believe the
defendant should have jail sentence. However in all
where fines collected suspended sentence
imposed and in several defendants who let
were taken to the State Farm on the old sentence. I
have not listed these cases.

Watch the Election of County Boards
They Hold the Key

There is greater factor in The enforcement OF pro-
hibon than the county boards, if properly organized
for business. They have very important functions in
that respect
First: By cooperating in active, energetic way with
the states attorney and the sheriff in furnishing the
funds (Which always more than reimbursed in fines
collected) in adequate amount to employ efficient
agents to discover evidence OF liquor law violation
Second: In properly enforcing the law concerning
county dance halls and road houses. County boards
have ample power to deny permits to any such pac-
which Objectionable from moral standpoint.
Third: The appointment of strong committee from
the county board, whose duty shall be TO naugurate
forceful program for law enforcement and cooperate
with the states attorney and the sheriff in carrying out
such program.
Fourth: The selection of lists OF qualified jurymen.
