Physician Seeks Facts About Drug
Using-Sec'y Hans. State Board
of Health Answers.

A Chicago physician recently asked
Governor Allen. of Kansas, for infor-
nation as to how prohibition of the
liquor traffic has affected the traffic in
.ha bit forming drugs. Governor Allen
referred the inquiry TO DR.. s, j. Crum-
bine, secretary of the state board OF
health. DR.. Crumbine Is no uncertain
way declared that prohibition has not
resulted in increased drug use. He
said
1--WE have had prohibition for thir-
ty-fire years in Kansas, which Is long
enough, it seems TO me, and with
population large enough. 100000 to
arrive at some definite conclusions as
to whether or not prohibition makes
for increased drug addiction. Several
years ago the booze people started a
story which is still going the rounds.
that drug addiction was greater In
Kansas than in any other state due
to the fact that they have pronibltion.
In our division of foods and drugs we
have travelling inspectors whose bust
ness 1t is to inspect drug establish
ments. | instructed our inspectors TO
make careful investigation in drug
store inspections to determine whether
or not drug addiction was widespread
throughout the state and If so. if ii
the evil If found, bore to prohibition.
Their report was, after months OF
investigation that outside the larger
cities drug addiction was practically
unknown in the state. and that the
majority of what few drug habitues
were found in the larger cities were
as a rule people who had gone the
limit in linuor and general dissipation.
The exception to this rue was, those
few unfortunate cases that Develop
the habit in an effort to get RELIEF from
pain because of diseases.
II wish 10 make the unqualified
statement and dare any to challenge
it. that the number of drug addicts IN
Kansas is so small as not to consti-
tute p problem. and that the years OF
prohibition in this state bears no re-
lation to drug addiction, but on the
contrary makes for sober, sane and
prosperous citizenship

CAMOUFLAGE Of GOLDEN
STATE B00zERU UNCOVERED
Ihquorites Use Grape Growers" As
Stalking Horse Saloon Real APP
pcllant TO L. S. Congress.

The State Law Enforcement and
Protective League of San Francisco,
sent & letter under date of June / and
signed by former State Senator Ed
win r. Grant, to each member of con
gross setting forth the true facts with
refere nee to the wine industry of Cali
iornja, This letter was received by
each congressman just before the
vote in the senate turning down Sena
tor Phelan's motion ostensibly in
tended to save the wine business of
that state. The protests against pro-
hihition of the manufacture Of wine
are not coming so much from the
vlneyardists of the wine producing
counties as from the mahogany Vine
yards of San Francisco. The follow
ing excerpts from the letter referred
to above. give some interesting facts:
when Senator Phelan introduced
the hill Cor the repeal of war time
prohibition to save the vineyards of
California, did he tell you that nearly
all the grape growing counties of
California voted bone-dry in the state
wide prohibition election last Novem-
Der and elected members of the legis-
lature on platforms OF ratification OF
the federal dry amendment?
"At the election in November. 1918,
Fresno county with more than one
third of the vineyard acreage of the
state--l22,0o0 acres OF the states total
of 35o,645--gave a majority of 4.474
in favor of a bone-dry prohibition
am endment to the state constitution
TO take effect January l, 1919. Under
this measure every winery in the
state, including. of course, the impor-
tant wineries of Fresno county, would
have been closed the first of this year.
''All the large grape growing coun-
ties of the state with the exception OF
Napa, Sonoma and Sacramento coun-
ties. at the same election named legis-
lators who had announced their in
tention to vote for ratification OF the
national prohibition amendment,
Napa. Sonoma and Sacramento have
total OF $1,000 acres OF vineyards.
These three pro-liquor counties con-
tain less than one-third of the vine-
yard acreage of the state, while anti
liquor Fresno county contains four
times the vineyards acreage of these
three countries combined.
The California wine is not as re-
spectacle q drink as some liquor
champions would have you think. 1t
has long been used in California az a
cloak to shield the saloons and Is one
OF the most deadly aides to the bust
ness OF commercialized vice. For In

Furthermore, growing grapes for
wine In this state has not on the
whole been a paying venture.
On the other hand, growing OF grapes
for table use and for raisins has prov
ed enormously profitable and the in
dustry is getting on a firmer basis
every year. The report of the state
board Of viticultural commissioners
covering the 1915 grape crop shows
that $4,000 acres Of raisin grapes in
the state that year brought the grow
ers nearly twelve million dollars. This
would be $ss an acre. The same re-
port shows that the table grape from
$1,000 acres brought the growers

an acre. Page 81 of the commission
er's report contains the following:
"'Our best estimate of the tonnage
of the grapes used in wine and brandy
making during 1915 is 47S,1AT tons
and the purchase price paid to vine
yardists for these grapes was
$500. 900.
There arc. according to the state
board of viticulturar commissioners,
10, 600 acres Of wine grape vineyards
in the state. But all of the grapes
crushed for wine do not come from
wine vineyards. The practice has
been to crush the culls from the table
and raisin grape vineyards for wine.
In letter dated July Is, 1916, TO the
California development board, the
state board of viticultural commits
sioners set forth that the normal and
annual value of these raisins and table
grape culls is 81 500 900, If 81 500
coo Of the S7.50O.0 900 worth of grapes
crushed for wine in 1916 came from
raisin and table grape vineyards. the
owners of the 10000 acres of wine
grapes received only $4,000, 900 for
their grapes. or little more than s35
an acre. All these statements arc cas-
lily suhstantiated by available Cali

Wants British Government to Inter-

II must say that our own govern
ment has been appealed to, and il is
the first time within my knowledge
that British government, when a
case has been presented clearly show
ing that our Interests have been sat
upon has offered us no other protec-
ton than to report that the United
States government had made no pro-
vision for compensation in their act
We made no provision for compensa-
ton In the Alabama claim, but when
the justice of the case was presented
TO our government those claims were
paid, and willingly paid. If you de-
stroy a business. having once granted
a charter, and if it is recognized to be
IN the interests of the country that YOU
should destroy such business, that
country should certainly compensate
those who suffer innocently from such
a decision
LAS regards the future of the COM
pany | think we should have no fear
about it whatever. In as far AS we
on this side are concerned, may say
that we have always followed con-
servative policy. and we are quite sure
that in the end the shareholders will
be grateful for this, and that. when we
do begin TO pay dividends again. /
