UNIFORM PRICES OF
LIQUOR ARE READY
Chairmen and Members of
Local Boards to Meet
With State Body
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
nv 4 a. RASK ERVTTT.


Raleigh May 12-Chairman and
members of the liquor control boards
in counties already operating liquor
stores, have been called to meet here
Friday morning, May IA, in the Car
DINA hotel, for general conference
with the State Liquor Control Board
and to hear the new regulations and
get the new price schedule for all the
stores, Chairman Guitar Moore, of the
State ABC board. announced today.
The State board has been working
night and day on it's new stock and
price schedule and hopes to have
them ready for announcement at this
meeting Friday, Moore said, although
it may have to postpone the new price
lists for several days.
A number of new regulations have
already been completed, however, and
these will be explained to the county
board members.
The State board is now working out
a stock list of some 400 numbers,
which will include some 200 brands
which have proved to be the best sell
lers in the county stores. From this
list the county boards or their pur-
chasing official will be permitted to
purchase some 200 to $50 numbers
consisting of from 100 to $50 different
brands, Chairman Moore explained.
The prices for all these numbers will
be fixed by the state ABC board, and
the prices will be the same in all the
stores, regardless of location. This is
expected to bring about a material re-
duction in the price of liquor in the
stores in the inland counties, leave the
prices near the Virginia line, which
are now the same as the Virginia
prices, just as they are. All the stores
will be required to absorb the seven
per cent state sales tax.
Several of the new regulations
adopted have to do with the relations
Of LIQUOR statesmen to the county
stores. One prohibits any liquor sales
man entering a store to contact any
Of the employees, except to buy liquor
as a customer. Another. prohibits the
carving of samples by liquor sales
men or the giving away of samples to
any one, not even county Abe store
members.

Arrest ESQ for Driv-
ing When Drunk
Continued from Page One.)


drivers arrested in March, when 294
were hauled in by patrolmen, but is
70 more than the number arrested in
February, when 2O7 drivers were ar
rested for drunken driving.
This slight decrease in the number
of drunken driving arrests is attri-
buted by Captain Farmer largely to
the advent of warmer weather, with
the resultant decrease in the consump-
ton of "hard likker," also to the in
creasing watchfulness of patrolmen
for drunken drivers, with the result
that fewer persons are now attempt
ing to drive while intoxicated.
more and more people are finding
out that it is extremely unWiSe and
unhealthy to try to drive an automo-
bile while drunk or even tipsy," Capt.
Farmer said. "And after we get our
radio stations in operation, it will be
even more dangerous, since we will
then be able to spot drunken drivers
and then order the highway patrol
men nearest to such a driver to go
and arrest him. So I am expecting
the number of arrests for drunken
driving, as well as for all other viola
tions, to increase decidedly when the
radio communications system gets in
to operation, probably about the mid
die of June"
Out of 1888 highway patrol cases
tried during April, patrolmen secured
2,244 convictions, with only 81 being
found not guilty, the report shows
During April, patrolmen inspected
1876 vehicles, issued tickets for de-
fective lights to 1888 drivers and is
sued warnings to 6,O13 others after OBJ
serving minor law violations. They
also corrected the lights on 1O,444 cars
at roadside filling stations and issued
tickets because of faulty equipment to
3,O71 other drivers. They weighed $50
trucks, finding 1870 overloaded. Patrol
men also stopped 9,432 motorists to
examine their drivers licenses and
approve applications for $3.50 new
drivers licenses.

~ ASH INtkV1V

Raleigh May 12.-The new State IL
amor board has already declared way
ON the boOtleggers and is planning to
1oen close check on those selling
vine to see that they observe the law,
chairman Cutler Moore said today
distinctions are being sent out to
overy one of the Is county liquor
boards already in existence to redou-
HE their efforts to stamp out boot
leoeing, while those county boards
v1ich are not now employing any spe-
cial liquor law enforcement agents are
being told to do so at once. The Sher-
ifs in all these counties are also be-
ing asked to cooperate with the cOuE-
~ liquor control boards in their drives
to eradicate bootlegging.
I'VE are trying to impress upon the
county control boards that the pri-
mary objective of the new liquor law
is the control of the liquor traffic and
the eradication of bootlegging and not
the gathering in of profits from the
sale of liquors." Moore said. ''The new
law provides that the county boards
shall use not less than five per cent
Of the profits and as much as 10 per
cent for enforcement purposes-and
we are going to see to it that they do
this We know that these counties can
virtually eradicate bootlegging if the
control boards will employ the proper
kind of enforcement officers and get
the cooperation of the sheriffs and
their deputies. We are confident that
if this is done, conditions will be much
better than they are in the so-called
dry countless
The State liquor board has alreay
decided to employ three special in
vestigators and inspectors at once,
who will check up on conditions in
the counties having liquor stores and
said The number of special investi-
gators and inspectors will be increas-
ed from time to time if and when nee
essary. These Investigators will also
have authority to check up on all
those who sell wine, to see that the
wines conform with the law and do |
not exceed the alcoholic content al |
lowed
Whether or not the liquor control |
board will extend its enforcement |
drive into present so-called dry coun-
ties where the bootleggers are doing
their biggest and most thriving bust i
ness, has not yet been determined. |
But Chairman Moore indicated that |
as soon as they got organized in the
counties having liquor stores they are
going to consider ways and means to
clamp the lid on the bOotleggers in
the dry counties as well, especially in
those counties where the county law
officers are apparently
making no effort to stop bootlegging
But for the time being, the state con-
troll board is going to concentrate on
the enforcement of the new state law
in the Is counties already having Ii
quor stores and in the nine or ten
other counties which are expected to
