livestock, feed, seed, fertilizer, ma
chinery, tools, taxes and other ex-
penses averaged $757. The average
farmer used $161 of products at farm
prices for food.
In 1881, the average cash income

POLICE MAY ARREST

A police crusade against violators
of the Liquor Control Act was
launched Immediately after the long
awaited Interpretation of the law
from Attorney General Percy War
rem Green.
Probably the most startling of the
provisions in the attorney generals
statement, which was sent to all
post offices throughout the state,
was that it is unlawful to buy liquor.
Police may now arrest customers Of
speakeasies as well as speakeasy
proprietors.
Regarding the sale of alcoholic
liquors other than 3.2 beer or 3.2
wine the attorney general said:
1t is unlawful to sell any alcoholic
liquors other than 3.2 beer or wine.
1t is unlawful to buy any alco-
holic liquor other than 3.2 beer or
wine.
1t is unlawful to keep or posses
any alcohol anywhere including in
transportation.
1t is unlawful for any licensee of
the Liquor Commission to keep, pos
sess or transport alcoholic liquors
other than 80 beer or 3.2 wine.
The statement of the attorney
general also sets forth the rules un-
der which licensees of the commits
sion may sell beer, the rules under
which they may transport beer and
the manner in which seizures of
alcoholic liquors shall be made by
the police.
The provisions under which ar
rests may now be made are much
more stringent than those of the old
Loose and Klair laws which were
repealed by the last legislature.
