Hycars lienee for a ot the law cannot be too strongly em pliasized that some of tHe elements of failure in efforts rpade thus far to enforce prohibition arise out of the? nature of the task rather dhn out of administrative inefficiency Consider the matter of venal federal agents for example It is a much mure difficult to 'maintain a staff of prohibition agents on a high level of service and incorruptibility than is the ease with any other law enforcement arlivity of the govern ment Men who have glways gone straight sometimes go crooked when by merely closing their ejes can increase their income a thousand per cent A nofiicial ot the Prohi bition Unit who handles personnel matters when asked if ministers ot religion might not help materially in the selection of incorruptible agents exhibited the application of an agent who had been recommended by three ministers but who had scarcely become' established in the Service swhep he was removed 'on the ground ot corruption The United has'not yet reached the point where it pays its emploj es adequately for their serv ices to say nothing of a rate of compensation that would reduce temptation to bribes' It' Is true that honesty In a public servant can not be secured on ajnoney basis but the scale of salaries of prohibition agents for the most part they re ceive between $1800 and 623Q0 a year so low as to invite irregularity It Is to the credit of the Prohibition Unit that so many ot its agents hate maintained a of dlsin terested and courageous service and have resisted all efforts to corrupt them Nor can the corroding influence of partisan politics which has been and is one of thefchief perils ot prohibi tion enforcement be Jield to dis credit in any peculiar way the Pro hibition Unit Political patronage is a curse to prohibition enforcement just as It is in every department of the government If the prohibition agents are presently placed under the civil service it will probably re move one of the major difficulties ot a difficulty that is in herent in the law and is not charge able te Its administration lt is an unhappy commentary upon our polit ical lite that It should havo been considered

rendered in the effort to work out the unprecedented administrative problems which national prohibition created Making alt due allowances however for ths difficulties of en forcing a new and drastic

the department ot research and education of th ederal Council ot Churehes of Christ in America (Copyright 1325) The common and answer to all these statistical statements is that prohibition has produced limited results because we have had only a very limited measVre of enforcement that the ineffectiveness ot the pro hibition regime In so far 'its It is ineffective is due to a lack of forcible administration of the law Let us look at the worst side first it 's needless to dwell upon the extent of non enforcem'ent of the prohibition laws Its was concerned chiefly matter of collecting revenues and enforcement wre organ ized on that principle Alt was most logical when the Eighteenth Amend ment became effective to build up the machinery for enforcement of the National Prohibition act around the existing organization in the bureau of internal revenue which is (Organ ized under the department of the treasury rom the point of view of admin istration however there is reason t6 question whether there is any com parison between the suppression of counterfeiting and the fraudulent Use of the mails for example occupa tions in which not more than a very small fraction of the people are ever the maintenance of prohibition regime which is quite new and at variance with the habits of the community in the violation or evasion ot which a very substantial the population is directly in terested It may be maintained with some reason that this very fact sur rounds enforcement of the prohibi tion law with so many difficulties and exposes if to so many hazards that only that department of government which Surged with and the ministration ot justice should be triicitpd with it On the other hand it'would be an process to separate the enforcement of the prohibition law from the collecting of revenue to separate tn other words criminal features of the law from its per missive and purely features workings of the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Prohibitions Unit the more he is impressed with the administrative difficulty involved in a separation of the functions which has combined in one government bureau During the last session of Congress a bill Was 'introduced which passed i the House' providing among other things that the Prohibition Unit re main in the Treasury Department but be made a bureau independent of the Bureau ot Internal evenue The measure was known as the Craniton Bill and it had the support of the Anti Saloon league and oilier pro hibition forces in the lobby The bill failed to reach a vote in the sen ate however The subsequent reor
