WILL SEEKU.S.A AID
FOR DRUG ADD|CTS
Officials to Urge Legislation
Providing Establishment of
Farms for Treatment.

Steps looking to the introduction in
the next Congress of a bill providing
for Federal aid to any State which
would meet the Government half way
in establishing institutions for treat.
ment of drug addicts were considered
at conference today between L. c..
Mutt, chief of the narcotic forces,
and Sanborn Young. State Senator Of
California
Mr.. Young sought Mr.. Nuts advice
regarding the establishment of q
farm for addicts in his home State,
where drug users, estimated at ap-
proximately 1000, would be given
some hard labor and fresh, wholesome
food, instead of being treated with
gradually reduced quantities of drugs.
Mr.. Mutt said that this would be suit
able for rehabilitating the higher-class
drug user, but not for mentally in
competent and criminal addicts, who,
he believed, should be confined In I'm
sane and penal institutions.
Mr.. Young, who Is co-author of a
bill to regulate the sale and use of
poisonous drugs in California, Is ex.
pected to seek the cooperation Of
Senator Shortridge in the plan, which
would be similar to bill which failed
of passage by Congress several years
ago.
In a further effort to reduce the
drug evil to a minimum, Mr.. Young
told the narcotic chief that he would
ask John D. Rockefeller or some
other big financier to offer a reward
for the discovery of a non-habit-form-
ing substitute for morphine.
I'VE have got the drug situation so
far under CONTROL" said Mr.. Mutt,
that it Is now an economic question
and we have got to provide some place
for the drug user" Agents of his
force, he added, had paid as high as
$3.50 a grain for morphine and $3.50
a grain for cocaine for evidence. The
average retail price, he said, was, dur.
ing the last six months, "a cents for
morphine, 81 cents for cocaine, 81
cents for heroin and So cents for
