PROHIBITIONFORCE
IS NEARLY DOUBLED
Tax Payment Duties Added to
Federal Workers Under
T. Edgar Patton
CHARLOTTE, May 16—The per
sonnel of the alcohol tax unif of the
Carolinas has been almost doubled
under instructions received last week
by men in the two states who were
in the industrial alcohol unit, placing
them under the new unit, of which
T. E. Patton investigator in charge
of the unit, is head.
The alcohol tax unit is the former
alcoholic beverage unit of the Caro.
linas which was transferred !a«f
week from the department of justie
to the treasury department.
Twenty-four men in the bureau of
industrial alcohol in the two Caro
liras went into the alcohol tax unit
under Mr. Patton as a result of the
order
Twenty-six men were in the old
alcoholic beverage unit of the Caro
linas. thus giving Mr. Patten a force
of 50 investigators with which to
wo'-k in the two Carolinas.
This number is approximately th"
number that was hi the old prohibi
tion bureaus for the two states. It . ■
pi-i liable that there will be even more
additions, indicating that the federal
government is planning to go tlir nigh
with its announced purpose of ( ( Heel
ing the taxes and running out liv
bootlegger'.
The 2-1 employes of the bureau of
alcohol who have been transferred t 1
Mr. Patton’s unit have been iceate.i
in the two states fc.r the last two or
three months, awaiting the trails*, r
of the enforcement ag uric- to tie
treasury department. During th. time
they have seen little activity. IT*.vv
sver. all of them are old prohibit!
investigators and are expected to a i
materially to the efficiency of •••'•
forcemeat of the two state?
Twelve of them are located ii
South Carolina and 12 in North Car
olina
It is expected-that full instruction •
as fo the manner of enforcement v:’
be here within the next few day
Although r.o instructions a< to th
methods of enforcement under th
new department have been received the
new name of the unit indicates that
the federal officer? will be required
to enforce the laws largely with a
view of collecting all taxes due t!r
government and prosecution with thr
view of heavy fines and .sentences
which are provided for evasion of tax
payment-? to the government.

TAX USTiNG MADE
MANDATORY BY LAW
Reports from tax listers in some
precincts are to the effect that less
than fifty per cent of the tax payer?
i are listing their property as required
by law. . , ,
Under an act of the legislature a.,
property owners who fail to list their
taxes can he assessed an extra ten
per cent of their total vnluar.oc. ano
♦he county commissioners and tan
supervisor asserted prior to listing
time that this rule would be strictly
enforced. Request has been madd tc
si! listers to turn in thair books m
not later than June 15, hence it wtij
be necessary that those who have act
listed to do so at once in order te
avoid it# penalty.
