Drive Opened on Violators of Dry Laws
United States commissioner of internal revenue William M. Williams warned Tuesday night that enforcement of Prohibition will intensify. He noted the Supreme Court decision upholding the Eighteenth Amendment and the national prohibition act, detailing double taxes and penalties for illegal manufacture or sale and stressing penalties separate from fines or prison terms. Wayne B. Wheeler commented that the ruling clarifies the law’s purpose, and home production of cider or fruit juice that remains non intoxicating is allowed unless sold or distributed illegally for intoxication.
