WALSH SCORES PROHIBITION.
Collector Declares He Has Seen Its
Bad Effects.
HARTFORD,. Feb. I9.—-Collectnr of
Internal Revenue James J. “'alsh. in
addressing the Hartford Public High
School Civics Club at its meetinfl.
yesterday. made the statement that
he believed it was wrong for the coun-
trv to adopt prohibitionn. He said that
he has seen the benefits of licenses
and the bad effects of prohibition.
lector said that when in Maine. be-
for the Eighteenth Amednment was
effective, he had seen many instances
of craft. He said that it the police
or Connecticut cannot stop the selling
of liquor, it tanner be e l ~that
the internal revenue collector, who
has a force of only twenty men. can
stop it. He said the prohibition law
couldn'St be enforced with thesupport
of the people. “The internal revenue
bureau has too much to do now col-
lecting taxes, without having more
duties heaped uponit,” he said. “the
commissioner of internal revenue asp
neared before a committee in Congress
and asked that this duty of enmrcing
prohibition should not be given to
the bureau."
Collector Walsh spoke on the history
of his department and told the mem-
bers of the club how revenue was col-
lected.
