THE SL0CUMB LICENSE LAW
VERSUS
The Bootlegger and Express Shipments
Where the tale of liquor it open and licensed, proper supervision can bo'
kept, and the seller is subject to such regulation and competition that it is only
profitable for him to offer for sale pure beverages and liquors that conform to
Government standards.
Denied the liberty to purchase such beverages from a licensed dealer, the
purchaser obtains by stealth, and in violation of law, such liquors as the "blind
pig" keeper offers.
Beverages low in alcoholic content are not sold because of their bulk, and
the consequent inconvenience in handling.
The licensed dealer in Nebraska pays a substantial fee into the city treasury.
The "bootlegger" and the express company pay none. The licensed dealer must
confine his sales to the premises named in the license permit. The "bootlegger"
peddles anywhere and everywhere.
"No-license" does not keep liquor from the man who habitually misuses
beverages.
The illicit dealer finds that he can sell crude, cheap spirits as readily as pure
liquors, which under open sale are subject to Government inspection.
In most cases where people can get the lighter beverages they do not go out
of their way to drink strong liquors to excess.
Here, then, lies one of the glaring evils of prohibition the man who baa
indulged moderately now turns to the illicit seller.
Boys who are not permitted in licensed places are fascinated by the oppor
tunity to violate law, and the "bootlegger," being under no restriction as to age
limit, introduces minors to liquors of the most vile type.
The real issue in Nebraska is between the "bootlegger" and the Slocumb
License Law.

The following clipping is taken from "The
Dos Moines Capital" of February 19, 191i. The
