FIRM LIQUOR LAWS
VioIators Can Expect Heavy
Fines or Imprisonment in
Some Cases. d"
By a staff Correspondent of The Star.

By Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, December g.
State and county leaders anticipate
little trouble in the enforcement of ths
Maryland liquor control law enacted
this week when Gov. Albert c. Ritchie
affixed his signature to the measure fol-
lowing its successful passage through
the extraordinary session of the Genera!
Assembly in progress here.
The law fairly bristles with teeth
carrying heavy fines and jail sentences
for violations of any CT its provisions
and vests broad powers in enforcement
officers, while it is also believed that
its enforcement will prove an easier
task than enforcement Of the Federal
prohibition act because Of the public
sentiment behind it.
In addition. it is felt by administra-
ton leaders that residents of the State
regard 1T as something Of a patriotic
duty to buy their liquor from licensee
or county dispensary-thereby helping
to pay county and State taxes.
The counties, in general, have been
vestigation and enforcement officers as
are necessary. In Prince Georges po-
litical leaders have announced that en-
forcement Is to be placed in the hands
of the county police force, while SINH
lar move is being considered In Mont
gomery.
Controller to Handle Tax.
Enforcement Of the State excise tax
is to be handled by the State control
lers' Office through his deputies. the
same manner in which the State befr
law has been enforced.
The stiffest penalty provided for t1In-
der the control law Is that for manu-
facturers or wholesalers who fail t4 pay
the excise tax, retail dealers and their
employees who have in their possession
beverages on which the tax has not
been paid, or any one who copnterfeits
or forges an excise tax stamp The act
provides for a fine Of not more than
$4,000 or imprisonment Of not more
than five years or both.
Operation without a Ncense-either
in the manufacture, wholeSaling or re-
failing of liquor or other alcoholic bev-
erage-is punishable BY fine Of not
more than 81 900 OF, imprisonment for
not more than two years.
The State bill further provides that
no manufacturer or wholesaler shall
have any interest in any retail estab-
lishment and set forth fine OF not
more SOf0VO VI va
not more than two years for violators.
Perjury Heavily Fined.
Applicants for liquor licenses whose
affidavits are found to contain false
statements are subject to prosecution
under the State perjury law, which
carries 10-year sentence.
In addition, clause in the bill sets
up a fine of $1,000 or prison sentence
of not more than two years for viola
