General Comment
Opium.

Opium.
1t is a satisfaction TO report the final pas
sage by Congress OF the opium legislation OUT
lined by Dr. Hamilton Wright, who. as delegate
TO the Shanghai Commission and to the later
Hague conferences. has had the matter in charge
for the State Department
We began the anti-opium propaganda to help
China. We did not realize that nands
were not clean. When did realize it, The
work OF passing proper legislation through Con-
gress began
1t resulted. in the first place, in the prohibition
OF the import of opium except for medicinal pur-
poses. This followed by legislation pro-
hibitinS its manufacture and export. Final leg
isatiou limits its interstate transportation.
The bill in question passed the Senate in the
last days of the late session. and has just passed
the House. The passage due largely to the
bipartisan effort of like Messrs. Burton,
Lodge, and Thomas in the Senate, and Mann.
Underwood. Kitchen and Moore in the House.
The measure provides for the registration of
preparations. with internal revenue collectors.
and for the imposition of tax upon all persons
who distribute them. The Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue is to prepare special forms which
shall be sold to those persons who shall shave
registered and paid the special tax. 1t shall
be unlawful for any person who has not register
ed and paid the to deliver any of the afore
said drugs from any State territory to any
person In any other State or territory. Any per-
son who violates the requirements of the act
may be fined not more than two thousands dol
lars, or imprisoned not more than five years,
both. striking feature Of the act is that any one
" ho has not registered, and who is found with
any OF the aforesaid drugs in his possession,
shall be deemed presumptively guilty of a viola
ton Of the act.
With the passage Of this act ends the great
humanitarian and economic reform begun six
years ago. Many deemed the plan then laid
down too far-reac ching and impossible of accent
plishment Its proper administration is now all
that is needed
While Congress has acted with exasperating
slowness in the matter, Its action has been graft
fyingly nonpartisan, save in the case of the
Democratic Appropriations Committee of the
House, which since 1910 has steadily refused to
make the necessary provision to pay the ex
penses of the work.-The Outlook.
