In excess of an exemption of So 900. and
Is based on the fair average value for
the year preceding the taxable year,

bills from collectors before making
payment. Returns for the period July

Large shipment Of Cattle from Arizona

Joe Delmue Jr.. manager of the big
l. II. L. ranch. in Snake valley. north of
Phoebe, was in town Wednesday enroute
to Caliente, where he expects to meet
prominent Montana cattleman who is
looking over the warmer countries, be-
cause, as he says, I'VE are haying the
year around in Montana. First We
must spend the spring and summer
raising hay and then we spend the fall
and winter feeding the hay to our cat
tie l am now looking for country
where more cattle can be raised--and
less hay
Mr. Delmue after digging up 10 cents
for his general manager. his little
daughter Louise. confirmed the report
of a big shipment of steers which are
being brought from Arizona to the Del
niue ranch and which are expected to
arrive about June IL.
This is interesting news apart from
the large amount of money represented
in a BUSINESS transaction involving one
thousand head of steers, because this
is the first large shipment of cattle to
come into this section of Lincoln
county.

Export of Beef
Is Diminishing

Argentina exports the largest guam
tity OF beef. with the United states In
second place and Australia third. OF
all countries. nevertheless. the United
States has the most cattle. other
countries exporting largely are Uru-
quay and New Zealand. while Brazil
has started to produce beef for export
and expects TO develop an enormous
trade in time. These facts we're re-
Gently brought out in figures issued by
the bureau of crop estimates. United
States department of agriculture. The
Literary Digest prints a summary from
the New York Evening Post, from
which the following quotations are

million cattle In 1880. IS million In
1909. and. while dropping TO 50 million

They Fail to Tell Whole
Storyof the Most Battling
and Dangerous Vice
BY WALTER A. DAVENPORT.

a few home and homely facts. DR..
Royal II. Copeland, Health Commits
sioner for the City Of New York,
caused study Of acknowledged drug
addicts to be made and he compiled
therefrom certain vital statistics that
you must ponder before you can sp-
preciate fully the nauseous evil the
dope fiend represents.
His study took in a superficial ex-
animation Of 2,723 users of cocaine,
morphine and heroin. These unhappy
ones came from the five boroughs of
the greater city. Two thousand three
hundred and thirty-eight Of them were
white and 3S5 negroes. There were
2.216 men and 507 women. BY ma
t!onalities they were classified as fol-
lows: American born, $50; Jews, b11;
Italians, Ga; Irish. 210; Spanish, Is;
japanese, IL: Germans, 399; English,
8; Scotch, 4; Canadians, 60; West
Indians, s; Brazilians, 8; Dutch, 2;
Swedish, Z; Russians. III; Polish, 312;
Greeks. 80, and Chinese, SO.
Seven hundred and twenty-five of
them were between Is and 10 years
old; S41 between 20 and rs; 62s be-
tween rs and 80; ATT between 81 and
30; 104 of them were more than 40
years old.
One thousand nine hundred and
forty-seven Of them gave bad COM
panions" as the reason for their con-
tracing the habit; 174 pleaded ire
lief from pain; 1872 ascribed their adj
dlction to sickness; 1874 of them said
they started through curiosity" and
just eleven of them declared their
reason was pleasure" Ten insisted
that they had contracted the Man.
haitian disease. as doctors have come
TO call the heroin habit, through
"overwopk" and a like number said
that they had taken to dope that
they might be able to do more work.
Economically these adoicts divided
themselves as follows: Those having
trade or profession, 1913; unskilled
workmen, 1850. And 21 per cent. OF
the former are engaged in the bust
ness of transportation.
These figures require no further
analysis. They are simple, one way
fingerposts And when you consider
that the health authorities admit thar
we have at least 200,0 Of these ad.
diets right here in New York city YOU
must appreciate that 1t is somethins
TO excite ourselves about.
Do you know that DR. Copeland ad.
mits that he can account for only IL
per cent OF the narcotic drugs tina,
are imported into this city every year
Do you know that the United States
imports and manufactures every year
sufficient opium to permit every man
woman and child in the country thir.
ty-six one grain doses. and that the
average dose Is only one grain?
Do You know that. not counting the
cocaine smuggled into this country
America manufactures 10000 ounces
OF cocaine every year. and that only

The upper classes can afford to have
their private physicians register for
them. The poor man has no such pro-
lection. The forbidding prices OF CO.
caine, heroin and opium send the less
affiuent to the Worth street drug linS
to get his daily shot OF hop or cloud OF
dust The fat wallet of the plutocratic
dopester attracts the doctor who will
ignore the piteous plea and the in
significant dollar of the slum victim.
Practically all the anti-narcotic laws
of the States have been placed on the
statute books in the last twelve years.
II was not until 1885 that any State
attempted to regulate the smoking OF
opium. In 1897 the State of Illinois
first enacted a law restricting the sale
OF cocaine to physicians prescriptions.
Several States. notably Tennessee
have provided for the registration OF
drug addicts in a manner which has
permitted them TO obtain limited guam
titles Of prescribed drugs under proper
supervision. The State of New York
went further and provided for the ef-
fective treatment of drug users in
public sanitariums or under public SUI
pervision.
Many state Laws Weak:
Many OF the State laws are weak in
effect that specifically they do not
charge any one person or number OF
persons with their execution, and few
II any, OF the statutes outline the
methods to be employed In enforcing
them. Few. II any. States ever have
made a direct appropriation for the
specific purpose OF enforcing the ex-
isting anti-narcotic legislation. In the
interest OF effective enforcement OF
such legislation, both State and ma
tional. DR.. Copeland suggests a care
full comparative study of existing leg
islation to determine the reasons for
the evident inefficiency of present
laws. a comprehensive compilation OF
accurate information in regard to the
nature and extent Of drug habituation
and consistent and persistent efforts
for uniform and practical legislation
that win effectively preclude the mis-
use OF habit forming drugs.
AS an illustration, at the presen,
The sun., 1919-07-27

There is no country where the drug
habit is so common. Until the United
States Government adopted the Har-
rison law in December. 1914, we
smoked more opium than China ever
knew existed, even during the black
years when opium was forced upon
her. In the five years previous to the
passage OF the Harrison law the
United States used 491,043 pounds of
opium. for which we who sneered at
China paid $1s,s41.72o. In the same
years we imported 1,04s,250 pounds Of
cocoa leaves, at 81 pound. OF course
we made cocaine out of them. and
Just 10 per cent of this cocaine was
used legitimateiy. The rest went to
debauch our youths, girls as well as
boys, and place America in a class
that even the most depraved peoples
OF Asia and Africa to whom we sent
missionaries TO spread the gospel of
Christianity avoided.
How IL Was Bought.
OF course the police always have
frowned upon public 10y riding" But
only recently have they gone out Of
their way to stop the sale and pur-
chase of opium, morphine. heroin, CO.
define. laudanum, paregoric. cocaine
and canabis or hashish. One doesn't
have to be even middle aged to bark
back to the wide open nights and af-
ternoo7s when all you needed was a

thousand and one places to equip
yourself with enough dope to keep you
