CHIEF TRoYER's slZEUP
OF ILLEGAL DRUG SALES
TO FARGO YOUNG MEN.

Fargo ia visited at regular in
terVais by drug sellers. who deal
with victims Of the "do pc" habit.
State and city regulations are
insufficient to cope with the ped
dlers.
Numerous Fargo young men are
being made drug flends through
the work Of these drug salesnen.
Other northwestern cities are
likewise visited by sellers Of the
prohibited drugs.
"Spotters" have failed to get
"dope" from the peddlers, who
take absolutely no chances.
Peddlers, making regular visits to
Fargo, are selling habit forming drugs
to Fargo young men, and are faSt
dragging many Of them into the gut
ter where lie the wrecks of human
lives. dashed to ruin and death against
the jagged rocks charted on the ma
tons moral map, as the dope vice.
Chief Of Police Chauncy H. Troyer,
Of the Fargo police department, lay
ing the issue before the Fargo city
commissioners yesterday, asked that
him greater power in dealing with a
constantly increasing menace-against
which both federal and state regula-
tions have. in a measure, failed.
Chief Knows Of Victims.
"I know Of at least a half dozen
Fargo young men who have become
addicted to the use of the deadly
DOPE" said Chief Troyer today. dis
cussing the problem.
These young men are being sup
piled at regular intervals by peddlers
who, like regular statesmen, have a
beaten track over which they tour
from time to time.
= Spoilers Have Failed.
"Our spoilers have attempted to
land these illegal drug handlers with
out result They absolutely refuse to
sell to anybody of whom they are not
entirely certain-and no stranger can
get the dope from them.
But the problem is becoming Of i'm
mense importance to the city Of Far
go, and as long as these peddlers con-
tinue to make their visits to the city,
the situation becomes more dangerous
and its evil influence more wide
spread.
"Under the present laws, it is not
even a misdemeanor to have these
habit forming drugs in ones posses
sion. If we were equipped with a law
that would make possession of drugs
crime-just as the possession of un-
due quantities Of liquor Is made a
crime-we would be in better position
to deal with the problem.
THE city ordinance, Of course. can
prescribe only misdemeanor, but
complete protection against the vice
evil can come only through state leg
islation, which would declare posses
sion of the habit forming drugs a
felony, unless such drug Is held by a
person under a physicians prescrip-
ton.
Federal legislation makes 1t more
difficult for dope fiends to obtain
drugs, and as a result the peddlers are
doing a big business. 'Hypo' and
snow are being sold by them in big
quantities, / am sure, throughout the
northwest.
$50 far as getting evidence from a
drug fiend is concerned, it IL practi-
cally impossible. They need the stuff.
