Al though the federal prohibition unit of the internal revenue bureau was ' not created in the expectation -that' tf IMM.M 1 J. 1 nvuu jiium ocix-uBLiaunf, COm pilation of figures just issued from' , the Washinvtnn liMdnmrtaH'il t unit shows that, the United States' Treasury Is rahesd of the7game by" " reason of its activities. The cost of the efforts to enforce prohibition for- wm wsi nscai year, was so,z&u,uti5., The chief items of this expense were' salaries, tataling $3,600,000. and traveling ' expenses, tataling $1,400 000.- - The appropriation , and expendi tures of this sum of money has made the prohibition unit the ' object of much criticism upon the part 'of those' who were opposed to the Eighteenth Amendment' and' its enforcement.' At the time the' appropriations were made to carry the unit its critics claimed it would cost the government more to attempt to enforce prohibi tion than the liquor traffic had cost the nation economically before the days of prohibition. It was also pre-, dieted that the. initial appropriation , would have to be supplemented and that future appropriations would be, increasingly larger. ' 1 . .. .:. .. -T . . . . i. -. 7;"'..; laeasse Eaeeeda Outlay. .. 7 '7 In answer to these claims, the pro-' hibition unit now submits the follow ing statistics. To offset its expendi tures of six and a quarter million dol lars it has collected in fines 12,152,- ooi. in aaaiyon to tnese nnes prop erty has been seised which .is ap praised at $10,908,687. , ...Among other Items of property seised were 59! automobiles, S5 boati; II wagons - 18 horses, 20 mules, and two tracts ef land in addition, to seversl hundred thousand gallons of distilled liquors and wines. From these two items it is seen that the income of. the govern- " ment during the. last fiscal' year, by' reason of the enforcement of the Jaw by the prohibition unit, was double ' ths cost of the unit. 7. ' , There sre yet to be settled hun dreds of csees Involving civQ penal ties, special taxes, etc These cases, if. the defendants are found guilty t mum fines aggregating more than fifty millions ef dollars. While it is not expected that the government will win all ef these cases it will win a very great percentage ef them and another liberal percentage will te compromised, so that it fa) safe to say that seversl million dollars will be collected from these cases. Mtt a . a a a . no proniDiuoB nan aas bo record of the amount ef court fines collect ed la criminal tranaactidhs. These ere collected by the Department ef ' Justice. : ; , Lew Betas; EaUreed. Among the Isrgest contributors of year are the brewers. AH told, they paid the United States goveraemnt over one million dollars for viola tion of the prohibition lew. During the last year a total ef 29.114 new criminal cases Involving violations ef the prohibition law were docketed,' 11,110 individuals charged with vio lation ef the law pleaded guilty, 17 942 were convicted after a plea ef "net guilty- end only HI breutht to trial were acquitted. These figuree dlapoee ef the repeated charge that it to impossible to get courts to con vict violators ef the prehiblUoa act.
