WILSON WANTS ONLY
MINOR TARIFF CHANGES
Believes Money to Be Provided BY
Congress Should Be Raised by
Notes or Bonds.

With the possible exception of the
sugar schedule. President Wilson is
expected to unalterably oppose any
revision of the tariff at the coming
session of Congress. He has told Sem
ator Simmons. Representative Kitchin.
and other Congressional leaders that
the present tariff law has not had a
fair chance to show what il can do
And he believes that it should be re-
tanned with only minor changes. Even
on the question of sugar the President
has not yet taken a positive stand.
waiting Investigations of cost of pro-
duction now being made by the Aeri-
cultural Department
The President has admitted to those
who have discussed the matter with
him that much money will have to be
provided by the next Congress for ex-
traordinary expenses. and especially
for the national defense But this
money. he believes. should be raised
by the issuance of short term notes
or short term bonds. Such an issue
the President believes would be yerv
popular throughout the country.
1t is also the intention of the admin
istration to ask that the war taxes
now In vogue. which automatically ex-
pire In December, be renewed for an
other year. 1t Is possible that re-
visions will be made in the existing
taxable articles. but this has not vet
been determined.

U. S. HAS 100000
SLAVES TO dope
M. L. Wilbert, of the Public
Health Service, Says Esti-
mates Have Been Inflated.
BASED ON STATISTICS
Experts Say Total of l.4l6.0O0, 900
Average Doses Are Consumed
Each Year.

There are not more than 100000 drug
fiends in the United States. This is
quite at variance with the popular belief,
| strengthened by the unofficial reports re-
Gently appearing in the public prints fol-
lowing the going into effect of the Har-
rison anti-drug law.
Martin L. Wilbert. technical assistant
in the hygienic laboratory of the United
States Public Health Service. is author
ity for the cheering statement that the
popular estimates of the number of drug
users in the nation have been inflated
tremendously.
No Crime Wave Has Resulted.
Mr.. Wilbert gives the results of his
observations in a recent report. He says
that while there have been reports from
hospitals and like institutions of great
suffering in isolated instances following
the inability of drug addicts to obtain
their favorite dope" the number of
such reports has fallen far short of gen.
eral expectations. There has been no
wholesale bes!eging of hospitals by
coke" users. and no wave of crime. fol-
lowed by a trail of suicides, has swept
the country.
Fairly reliable data are available on
which to base an estimate of the
number of drug users, according TO
the Federal expert. This is due TO
the fact that practically all the opium
and coca used in this country is i'm
ported through legitimate channels
and Considera BILE care is used to in
sure reporting and recording of the
supply because of the comparatively
high import tax. These figures fix the
amount of available material. and Mr..
of the legitimate or illigitimate use of
drugs. the total illegitimate use can
not well exceed the sum total of avail
able material.
Consumption of Dope
Based on statistics compiled by the
State authorities of Tennessee, where
an antinarcotic law has been in eff
feet since 1915. the Federal expert es-
Inmates that should the ratio of OPT
UNI addicts in Tennessee hold good
throughout the country. there would
be a total of something more than
$4,000 drug users. They would con-
sumo approximately 1.i16.000,000 aver
age doses a year. The average con-
sumption a day of morphine addicts Is
SIS grains
cocaine is enough to keep one fend
of this character thoroughly we'll
doped for year. On this basis, he
asserts. granting that all the avail
able 100000 ounces of cocaine were
used illegitimately. there could not be
more than 100000 cocaine fends in
the United States But a lot of CO.
caine is used legitimately. he argues,
so these figures are too high.
Taking all available facts into con-
sideration, therefore. the conclusion is
reached that the estimate that there
are not more than 100000 dope
fiends' in the whole United States, is
reasonable one.

One of her friends said today:
Her last letter. written a month ago,

His wife already had been indicted.
