Roper Warns Prosecution Will Follow Booze Act
Washington reports Commissioner Roper of the internal revenue department says all violators of the federal prohibition enforcement act will be prosecuted to the limit of the law regardless of state efforts to legalize beer. He cites a New Jersey bill legalizing 3.5 percent alcohol beer as conflicting with federal law. Roper notes the bureau enforces the act and plans to continue war tax collection, with his resignation possible but not imminent.
