The Wingham Advance-Times, 1951-05-02, Page 7l'ILE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE In 1932, in the United States, the prohibition amendment was repealed. The expectation was that there would be less drinking and less crime due to drinking. Instead the per capita consumption went up from 1.69 gal- lons in 1933 to 27.25 gallons in 1947. Prohibition had been held respon- sible for the operation of gangsters like Al Capone. Twenty years later there were syndicates of goons and lobbyists that made the old capone mob look like amateurs. Bootlegging would disappear when legal outlets were provided—so it was claimed. On the contrary the Florida crimes com- mission reports that there never was a year under prohibition where as many bootleggers were arrested as have been arrested every year since prohibition was repealed. The facilities for drinking were, in- creased and so the drinking increased and the crime due to drinking in- creased too. It can't work out any other way,—.Advt.
