TAX ON OPIUM HANDLERS
Special Act of Congress Levying One
Dollar a Year Becomes op-
erative March

BY an act passed by Congress on De-
cember IL, 1914, special tax of one
dollar per year has been imposed upon
all persons who produce, import, manu-
facture, compound, deal in, dispense,
sell, distribute or give away opium or
cocoa leaves, their salts, derivatives or
preparation. The word "person' is de-
fined to mean a partnership, associa-
ton, company or corporation, as well
as natural person.
The act becomes operative on March
l, 1915, and the tax must be paid at
that time for the four months ending
June 80, 1915, the amount being "a
cents. On or before July /, 1915,
and each year thereafter the tax of
one dollar will be required to be paid
to cover the ensuing year.
In addition to the registration and
payment of the 81 tax, as indicated
above, it will be unlawful for any one
so registered to- dispose of any of the
drugs named except upon the written
order of the purchaser. These orders
are provided by the government and
sold at the rate of 81 per hundred. The
order blanks will be stamped with the
name of the person who buys them,
and cannot be used by any one else.
Exceptions to these requirements are
allowed in the cases of physicians,
dentists and veterinary surgeons regis
tered under the act who use any of the
drugs in their regular practice, and
they must keep record of the name
and address of each such patient and
the quantity used. Also prescription
of the physician, dentist or veterinary
surgeon may be accepted by the seller
of the drugs. The drugs can also be
sold to any official of the United
States or State, acting in his official ca
pacity, for use in the public service.
All orders and prescriptions are re-
quired to be kept for two years in such
manner as to be readily examined by
any official of the State or United
States.
! This act, it will be seen, has been
passed in order to regulate the traffic in
these noxious drugs, rather than to pro-
vide revenue. It's provisions are man
datory and must be complied with un'
der a penalty of fine of not more
than $4,000 or imprisonment for not
more than five years, or both, IN the
discretion of the court.
Druggists, physicians, dentists, vet
erinary surgeons are the ones partlcu'
larly called upon to comply with this
law
