Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Indian Appropriation Bill: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Indian Affairs of the House of Representatives
Mr. Meritt. We find that we need liquor - suppression Officers in the dry States as well as in the wet States, for the reason that bootleggers receive a larger return now than before. Liquor is selling for as much as $12 per quart in some of the dry States, and the Indians are paying that much money to the bootleggers for it. We find it quite difficult to keep liquor away from the Indians even in the dry States, although not. As much difficulty as when the open saloons were in Operation.
