Proper and judicious amendment might vastly improve the Raines law, and in fact the possibilities of improvement are Umitless.

This leaves the coast clear for active and effectiv operations aguinst the crying evils of police blackmail and dive-keeping, which all the authorities are pledged to exterminate.
