Mr.. Carter, Chairman of the Sanitary Committee
reported follows
The petition of residents in Honolulu, praying
that this Assembly twill, by enactment of law, for
bid the sale or furnishing of opium by any person
except the regularly licensed physicians" has been
duly considered by your Committee, and we are of
opinion that the petitioners have not In their petit
tOn fully met the end they had in view namely the
prohibition Of the sale of opium except rs a pre-
paration prescribed by regularly licensed physi-
clan. II has been urged that the OF opium cannot
be prevented, and that bringing the sale under the
provisions of law and thereby obtaining revenue,
is the only practical way open to the Government.
That its prohibition could not be enforced for the
reason that it would be struggled into the country;
and that TO prevent this the Customs Guard would
have to be largely reinforced.
Touching the matter OF revenue your Committee
is aware that the sum of twentyone thousand dol
lars, recently obtained for license is no inconsid-
cradle sum, but your Committee is of the opinion
that the loss to the country, although not directly
perceptibe, will soon be apparent in the effects Of
the OF the drug upon the class of abOrers en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits.
The sum obtained for the license recently sold |
conyinces your Committee that the sale of the drug
must be more extensive than has been imagined, and
that ii is sold 10 persons contrary the provisions
Of law The effect Of the general use of opium Will
be to paralyze all industrial pursuits and the chan
nels through which loss will accrue To the cummu-
nifty will be numerous the consumers OF the I
drug, and will largely exceed the present gain to the
revenue. Your Committee believe that every honest
effort should be made to prevent its importation
md sale, and that 1t be done without any great
cost TO the Government, particularly if law should
De enacted furnishing by fine and Imprisonment any
party convicted of importing, selling furnishing
he drug. Your Committee urge the repeal OF the
aw allowing its sale, and the passage of law be-
ore suggested.
