LEGISLATURE NEWS
ANTIDOPE BILL
Is ABOUT READY
Sponsors of Several Measures
Get Together in Regard
to Provisions

The House Committee on Public
Health and Sanitation has abandon
ed it's intention of having the drug
gists draft the final anti-narcotic
bill that will come before the Leg
islature for passage. Assurance has
been given to the sponsors of the
Whitaker and Ware bills that only
a combination of these two measures
Will come out of committee. Both
sponsors have united to make it the
strongest and most stringent measure
that can be drafted. Senator Ware
and representative Whitaker, the
sponsors of the two most stringent
antelope bills that have been intro
duced in the Legislature, agreed to
combine their bills and fight, if nee
essary, to have the one bill reported
faVorably from committee.
The necessity for stringent anti
narcotic legislation was pointed out
to-day in a letter received by Rep
resentative Whitaker from United
States District Court Judge Dickin-
son, of Philadelphia. In his letter
Judge Dickinson said:
Il am writing you this letter to
give you the results of the expert
ence of a trial judge in the United
States court in dealing with infrac-
IlO1S VI lIle l6ueTdl SldIul6 knOWU
as tho Harrison act.
This experience has produced a
deep conviction of the necessity for
a State law regulating the sale and
use of narcotic drugs. The bad eff
fects of this traffic, disclosed through
the trial of cases here, are appalling.
How the subject is best dealt with
through legislation, l leave to you
and others who have pending meas
ures in charge.
II take the liberty of calling your
attention to this feature of federal
legislation on this subject. 1t is
necessarily limited, in theory at
least. to the federal aspects of the
traffic.
1T is universally recognized that
the real offence is not a mere evasion
of an excise tax. To deal with Offend
ers under the law of the United
States, we are forced to consider the
real enormity of the crime and not
restrict ours to the purely legal char
acter of the offence.
ut were far better if the real Of
fence and the legal charge were
brought into line. This can only be
done through State legislation. You
and those, who, like you, have made
a study of the evil and appreciate the
necessity for vigorous and drastic
means of control through the law,
have the sympathy and support of
everyone whose experience has
brought him in touch with the awful
consequence of an uncontrolled and
unregulated traffic in these danger
Gus drugs.
"I feel at liberty to further state
that the views expressed as the re-
suit of the writer's personal expert
ence in the trial of cases in this
court is the view take nby every
member of the federal judiciary as
a result of his like experience"
