Prohibition in Maine and New England Reconsidered
The report by Geo E Bird Vice Consul Portland Maine analyzes Prohibition outcomes from 1853 to 1882 noting Portland arrests for drunkenness rose from 297 to 1351 as population grew 50 percent. He cites widespread illegal sales, lax enforcement in cities, and harsher penalties shaping perjury and fraud. He contrasts state bylaws in Maine New Hampshire Connecticut Kansas Iowa and more, with federal liquor licenses showing dense dealer presence in Prohibition States. The piece argues Prohibition fails in urban centers where crime and vice cluster, while rural areas show limited impact, urging cautious policy amid ongoing debates and potential local option licenses.
