Payment of the charges provided by section 311.550 shall be made by the manufacturer, including one who blends or bottles intoxicating liquors, as to all intoxicating liquor produced or imported by the manufacturer for sale or use for beverage purposes within this state, by the out-state solicitor who imports into this state intoxicating liquor manufactured or produced outside of this state for sale or use for beverage purposes within this state and by the wholesale dealer who imports or receives intoxicating liquor manufactured or produced without the United States for sale or use for beverage purposes within this state. Each manufacturer, out-state solicitor and wholesale dealer on or before the fifteenth day of each calendar month shall file with the supervisor of liquor control, on forms prescribed and furnished by the supervisor, a written report in duplicate, under oath, in such form as is required by the supervisor to enable him to compute, and assure the accuracy of, the charges due on all sales and importations of intoxicating liquor occurring during the preceding month.

311.555. Bond — failure to file — forfeiture. —
Every manufacturer, including one who blends or bottles intoxicating liquors, as to all intoxicating liquor produced or imported by the manufacturer for sale or use for beverage purposes within this state, and the out-state solicitor who imports into this state intoxicating liquor manufactured or produced outside of this state for sale or use for beverage purposes within this state, and the wholesale dealer who imports or receives intoxicating liquor manufactured or produced without the United States for sale or use for beverage purposes within this state and, therefore, shall be liable for payment for charges as provided by section 311.553, shall also file with the supervisor of liquor control a bond in an amount not less than one thousand dollars and not to exceed one hundred thousand dollars on a form to be approved by, and with a surety satisfactory to, the supervisor of liquor control. Such bond shall be conditioned upon the manufacturer, out-state solicitor or wholesale dealer paying to the director of revenue all moneys becoming due from such manufacturer, out-state solicitor or wholesale dealer under this law. The supervisor of liquor control shall fix the penalty of the bond in each case, taking into consideration the amount of intoxicating liquor expected to be sold and used by such manufacturer, out-state solicitor or wholesale dealer, and the penalty fixed by the supervisor shall be sufficient in the supervisor's opinion, to protect the state of Missouri against failure to pay any amount due under this law, but the amount of the penalty fixed by the supervisor shall not exceed twice the amount of tax liability of a monthly return. In no event shall the amount of such penalty be less than one thousand dollars. Failure by any licensed manufacturer, out-state solicitor or wholesale dealer to keep a satisfactory bond in effect with the supervisor or to furnish additional bond to the supervisor when required hereunder by the supervisor to do so shall be grounds for the revocation or suspension of such manufacturer's, out-state solicitor's or wholesale dealer's license by the supervisor. If a manufacturer, out-state solicitor or wholesale dealer fails to pay any amount due under this law, his bond with the supervisor shall be deemed forfeited, and the department of revenue may institute a suit in its own name on such bond.

311.750. Action to enjoin nuisance — procedure. —
1. That an action to enjoin any nuisance defined in this chapter may be brought in the name of the state of Missouri by the attorney general of the state of Missouri, or by any prosecuting attorney or circuit attorney of any county or city of the state of Missouri. Such action shall be brought and tried as an action in equity and may be brought in any court having jurisdiction to hear and determine equity cases. If it is made to appear by affidavit, or otherwise to the satisfaction of the court, or judge in vacation, that such nuisance exists, a temporary writ of injunction shall forthwith issue restraining the defendant from conducting or maintaining any such nuisance until the conclusion of the trial. Where a temporary injunction is prayed for, the court may issue an order restraining the defendant and all other persons from removing or in any way interfering with the liquor or fixtures, or other things used in connection with the violation of this chapter constituting such nuisance. No bond shall be required in instituting such proceedings.
2. It shall not be necessary for the court to find the property involved was being lawfully used as aforesaid at the time of the hearing, but on finding that the material allegations of the petition are true, the court shall order that no liquors shall be manufactured, sold, bartered, stored or kept in any such room, house, building, boat, vehicle, structure or place, or any part thereof. And upon such judgment of the court ordering said nuisance to be abated, the court may order that the room, house, building, boat, vehicle, structure or place, shall not be occupied or used for such period as the court may determine, not to exceed the period of one year; provided, however, that the court may find that the owner of such property, real or personal, or boat, vehicle, room or other structure or place knew or should have known or had reason to believe that the said property, boat, vehicle, room or structure was used for the purpose of the violation of this law.
