Dry Law Repeal Eases Work for Federal Agents
Washington reports that repealing the dry law would lessen the burden on federal agents who seize illicit liquor plants. Historically, seizures rose after 1920, with 35,200 plants confiscated in 1927-1928 and millions of gallons of distilled and malt liquor valued at over 18 million dollars in the year ending June 30, 1932. During early Prohibition, still captures were far fewer, and the first six months after repeal would still show heavy activity, highlighting the shift in enforcement.
