The prohibition commissioner told
the committee that he was "gratified"
with the present functioning of his en
forcement machinery and that 'the de
partment was securing "fine co-operation"
from states and counties in the

sympathetic," he asserted, and jail
sentences and fineg were becoming
heavier, c
"There is a general disposition to
tighten up," he added.
In the fiscal year ended June 30,
1922, the prohibition commissioner
said, there were 22,483 conviction in
