Now that the liquor traffic hasbeen outlawed,we must rely on various in-dexes of intemperance and on federal enforce-ment statistics for indications of the amountof liquor available and the improvement intemperance which may be attributable toprohibition.  \nCertain indexes of intemperance are ac-cepted by both wet and dry partisans as valid:deaths from alcoholism,alcoholic insanity,acute alcoholic patients treated in public hos-pitals,and arrests for drunkenness.We shallrefrain from argument and shall simply pre-sent these indexes by statistical tables andgraphic charts with only such explanationsas are needed to make their implications clear.  \nLiquor Seizures  \nSeizures of contraband liquor and distil-ling apparatus have steadily mounted duringthe entire prohibition period.Whether thesefigures are evidence of the efficiency of enforce-ment or whether they are mere samplings ofthe total amount of illicit liquor available,isof course,a disputed point.As we shall see,however,the rise in liquor seizures has beenaccompanied by a similar rise in all otherindexes,arrests for drunkenness,deaths fromalcoholism,alcoholic insanity and drunkendrivers.  \nA summary of seizures of liquor and dis-tilling apparatus of all kinds for each yearwill be found in Table I.Chart I shows thesteady increase that has taken place.Thereis no indication that federal enforcement hasyet reached the margin of diminishing re-turns.It was predicted by proponents ofprohibition that after two or three years ofexperiment there would be a marked curtail-ment of the amount of liquor available anda corresponding decrease in the appropria-tions necessary for enforcement.Yet in spiteof increased appropriations for enforcement,in spite of enforcement acts in 44 statesin  \nspite of the growing body of federal courtdecisions favorable to extreme enforcementmeasures,the illicit liquor industry has stead-ily increased.In 1920 only 15,416 piecesof distilling apparatus were seized while in1928,261,611 pieces were seized.In 1920only 153,735 gallons of liquor of all kindswere seized;in 1928,32,474,234 gallonswere seized.  \nThe number of gallons of illicit spirits  \n## CHART I\n\nseized reached its peak in 1924,the first yearof the activity of the United States CoastGuard in prohibition enforcement,with anincrease of over 300%over the previous year.Since 1925 the seizures of spirits have steadilyrisen with a slight drop in 1928.The year1926 was the peak year for the seizure ofmalt liquors.There has been a steady in-crease in the raw materials from whichwhiskey and alcohol are distilled,as indi-cated by the steady increase in the seizures ofmash.In 1923,8,356,695 gallons of mashwere seized;while 26,594,533 gallons wereseized in 1928.  \n## Geographical Distribution\n\nThe seizures of liquor and distilling ap-paratus vary greatly i","cbCaikU0e8OzmMZd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikU0e8OzmMZd","pdf",1311806,21,"English","# Measuring the Liquor Tide\n## Liquor Seizures\n## Geographical Distribution","[{\"question\":\"Why does the report avoid direct measures of per-capita liquor consumption?\",\"answer\":\"Before prohibition, annual per-capita consumption could be gauged accurately.
