Danielson, North PAID ADVERTISEMENT A Fertile Field For Graft and They All Koow I BY EDWIN | rm BROWN Cash, money in hand paid, is ust ally the metho@ used in graft, but not always, as public officials may |trade special privileges and allow law violation for political favor and tenderloin support. Suppose I had influence with the Police and Health Departments of this city, and had a few old tumble down, ramshackle apartments or rooming houses for rent, and E could say to a tenant, “The Police jor Health Department will not dis turb you here,” I could charge and get three times @ fair and honest This is graft. Of course, all open gambling in Seattle today pays big graft money, and it is well known that unfortu: — nate women are called on regularly and are compelied to pay protection money, and that is worse than ‘ but the real money is made in the whiskey business, and there is so much graft in this line that the whiskey power is something to reck+ jon with in King county and In Se — attle. The fake blood test quarantine was used to enforce the whiskey graft and monopoly. Some got so hold as: to brag about being able to quaram —~ tine any person on a fake blood test who bootlegged or ran a blind without paying for their protection and buying thelr whiskey from the whiskey ring. EASY MONEY If you could get the whiskey tae’ nothing and sell it for $12 per quart, — and have a ready sale for atl you could get, and you could gf plenty, and collect your graft on about that everybody else got, rea be doing some business, is just what is going on in ‘The Police Department is ficient to allow any pete cut the price on whiskey, and we must admit that if it was not for efficiency there would be competition among the bootleggers outside of police department and whiskey sell for about $5 or $6 pa* whereas now it sells for trom $15 § $20, and it would be a better qi Some of the whiskey that wie recently was sold and delivered to @ blind pig, but the quality of the whiskey was so bad that the “Ring” had to take the whiskey back. Some people have been coming into Seattle with con whiskey and their whiskey taken from them but they were lowed to go. Of course it would poor business for a Dry Squad to arrest the man and allow owe | whiskey to get away from him, he arrests the whiskey and lets man go, and there ix absolutely danger of a person coming to mand the return of his whiskey or make inquiry as to who has ft. one instance the same whiskey sold to a blind pig, then bootleg jner officer came in and took Cn, whiskey and sold it to another pig; then the officer that sold it first time went and got the whiskey — jand sold it to the blind pig man who bought it the first time, and guar anteed that, as he had bought the same whiskey twice, that no one — would be allowed to bother him again. REAL ESTATE NOT IN IT This whiskey graft beats $10 lots in Charleston for $400, guaranteeing 20 per cent profit in six months. FAKE REFORMERS NOT I noticed in Friday morning‘s paper where the Minister of Pro hibition of Canada had paid a fine of $11,000 for bootlegging, and was on trial for stealing 75 cases of whiskey from the Canadian’ govern- ment. Many instances of whiskey graft have been detected among Anti-Sa- loon League workers. The public sale of whiskey for profit is about at an end in this country, and. this is one of the greatest blessings to humanity, The sale of whiskey and brandy for med- ical purposes by druggists under proper legal restrictions and the honest, vigorous law enforcement is all that is now needed to make pro |hibition what it is intended to be. POLICE FORCE DEMORALIZED The Police Force in Seattle is de- ;|moralized.
