Author Description

Originally published in 1930 by the Bureau of Prohibition of the U. S. Department of Justice, the object of this book was "to present certain facts and conclusions bearing directly upon the value to the individual, the community, and the Nation of the observance of some of our statute laws, that, by their very nature, restrict personal liberty. The laws referred to are the national prohibition law, pure food and drug law, health and sanitation laws, antigambling laws, and laws prohibiting prostitution."
