Sweeping Changes
In State Narcotic
System Predicted
Act Embodying Essentials of
Fearon-Smith BilIAssured.
Says DIR. Prentice, of New
York Co. Medical Group

Repeal of the Whitney anti-drug act,
abolition of the State Narcotics Com
mission and enactment of law en-
bodying all the essential features of
the Fearon-Smith bill are practically
assured, in the opinion Of representa-
tives of the New York County Mcdi-
cal Society and other supporters Of the
lastnamed measure.
DR.. Alfred c. Prentice, Of 226 West
Seventy-e ghth Street, member of the
New York society's legislative commit
tee. who attended the hearing on mar
cotic bills at Albany Tuesday, made
the following statement yesterday:
An almost unanimous sentiment de-
veloped at the hearing which seemed
to demand repeal of the Whitney act.
Of all the speakers, only two We're in
favor of the retention of the law. They
were Commissioner Herrick and Judge
Cornelius j. Collins, who drafted the
Whitney act.
"If the Whitney law is repealed
some provision of law must be made
to enable the State of New York to
enforce its police power over the IL
legal traffic in narcotic drugs and to
provide FOR the treatment OF narcotic
drug addicts at public expense. The
FearonSmith bill has been carefully
drawn as constructive measure, con
tanning the necessary provisions to
make the state law coordinate with
the Federal Harrison law and to pro
vide for the treatment of addicts at
public expense.
1T is to be expected that, as re-
suit of the hearing, the joint committee
will report out a bill providing for
repeal of the Whitney law and contain
ing the essential provisions of the
FearonSmith bill, namely, prohibiting
the prescribing or dispensing by nhy-
sicans of narcotics to addicts and pro-
viding for the necessary care of ad-
diets at public expense
"lf such measure becomes a law
it will insure preventing drug addicts
securing narcotic drugs legitimately
The illegal traffic in narcotic drugs
then becomes strictly a problem of EN-
forcement Of law by the police and
the courts"
Opponents of the Fearon-Smith bill
charged at the hearing that the efforts
to enact it were the result of a con-
spiracy to increase the business OF
narcotics sanitariums by forbdding
physicians to prescribe drugs for ad
diets

Bedtime Stories
Peter and Jumper Get Great Fright
BY Thornton W. BURGESS
The 6rarest may be put to fight
By wholIy unexpected fright.
Peter Rabbit

Peter Rabbit went back to look for
his cousin, Jumper the Hare. He found
him not far from the great windfall
under which they had been so sure
Buster Bear had spent the winter
Peter hastened to apologize to Jumper
for having doubted him. "I've seen
Buster Bear" said he, "and it is true
that his coat is just as it always has
been. as black as black can be- And he
told me that you were right about where
he spent the winter. He said he hasn't
been near the great windfall since early
last fall. And he said, too, that he
doesn't intend to come near it. why
do you suppose he doesn't intend tc
come near it, Jumper?'
Jumper shook his head II give it
up" said he. II haven't the least idea
There is mystery, great mystery
about that windfall, and I don't like
mysteries. Did Buster say that he was
afraid to go near it?
No" replied Peter. "No. he didn't
say that. But now you speak of it, he
acted as if he thought he would be bet
ter of if he kept away. And he adj
vlsed me to keep away from it, too. He
said | would be likely to live longer il
did. Now what do YOU suppose he
meant by that?"
IL
he began. whats that?" He jumped
and ran back few steps, then sat ur
to stare at the great windfal with
startled eyes. Peter did exactly the
same thing. There they sat staring at
the great windfall.
Did you hear it?" whispered Jumper
Peter nodded. II certainly did," he
whispered back. There it is again!'
Once more they ran few steps, and
then sat up to stare at that old wind
fall.
For few minutes they heard moth
ing. 1T was as still as it can be only
IN the heart of the Green Forest when
not even leaf moves. They could hear
the beating OF their own hearts Then
from that great windfall came sound
that there was no mistaking. 1t Was q
deep, grumbly- -rumbly growl, such a
growl as they had never heard save
from the throat of Buster Bear. II was
followed by whine, and that whine
was just such whine as they never
had heard, save from the throat of Bus
ter Bear. Yet they knew Buster Bear

Oppose Tax Exemption
On Mortgage Incomes
Committee Report Says 1t Would
Be to the De!rilnent of
Other Securities
From a Staff Coryesrondcnt

ALBANY, March 9.--Declaring that
the plan to exempt mortgage incomes
from state and Federal income taxes
to relieve the housing situation by en-
couraging investments in building
loans holds no promise for relief, the
Davenport Joint Legislative Committee
on Taxation and Retrenchment to day
issued report opposing such legisla-
ton.
The report says it would be futile
to exempt mortgage interest from
state income tax alone, and that it
would be necessary to obtain the same
exemption under the Federal income
tax law to make the plan of any value
at all. Such a step, the report says,
would be fraught with dangerous re-
suits, as it would throw about $50 ,O0O,-
coo og tax-eXempt securities int ne
market, to the detriment Of securities
rot enjoying similar exemptions.
1t is the opin. Oh + lhe committee
that the state should take n step in
the opposite direction, and tax incom es
from state, municipal and Federal
tonds. Among other recommendations
contained in the report is one urging
the abolition of the present personal
property tax. 1t is claimed this law
does not function tisfactorily, and
that seps could be taken to obtain
the revenue now obtained from this
source through the state income tax
law
