u. S. WINNING
IN BIG BATTLE
ON NARCOTICS


WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-With
a force Of less than 800 officers,
Colonel l.. Knutt, chief OF the
government narcotic bureau,
rounded up more than 1000 dope
peddlers and addicts last year, 1t
was learned at the treasury de-
partment.
Records of Colonel Knutt show
that 96.5 per cent of those taken
into court result in convictions
that carry prison sentences OF
more than a year.
"Smuggling of narcotics is on
the decrease" Knutt said.
"The importations of narcotic
drugs have fallen off materially in
the last six or seven years.
Give yeSrs ago we imported
$4,000 pounds of gum opium
last year we imported but 99,6O3
pounds.
"Use Of narcotics in the United
States is growing smaller each
year. In 1919 there were more
than 100000 drug users in the
country, while today there are
something like 10000 addicts.
Knutt said it cost the govern
ment about $175,000 a year to
operate his bureau and that fines
and compromises accepted from
violators of the drug laws amount
ed to more than $550,000 an
Rually.

Democratic party in Arizona were
taken this week at meeting of
county chairmen, state committee
men, precinct committeeman, and
prominent Democrats, held in the
house chambers at the capitol.
The start toward the permanent
organization of the party was be-
gun with the adoption of a resolu-
ton at the meeting which stated
that it was the sense of the meet
| ing that the state chairman Of the
party be authorized to appoint a
finance committee Of five who in
turn would select permanent
secretary and stenographer for
the party and would proceed with
the collection Of funds and the es-
Establishment of a permanent state
headquarters.
The adoption of this resolution
came at the close Of the meeting
after those assembled had discuss
ed and argued for nearly two
hours on the question as to whe-
ther such an organization was
needed. When the resolution, in
troduced by State Senator DR.. W.
P. Sims Of Cochise county as a
compromise measure, was finally
put to a vote just before the close
of the meeting, it carried by a
unanimous vote.
The original resolution differ
ing from the one finally adopted
in that it provided for permanent
| committee of five to assist the
! chairman in perfecting the per-
manent organization, was offered
by John Henry Whyte.
During the discussion Of the
resolution, the question Of finan-
ces arose. It was stated by Sec
| retary Babbitt that since January
1925, state employees had contri-
| buted 2 per cent at first and
later, one per cent Of their salaries
toward the party fund. The two
per cent, he said, was charged to
pay $4,000 loan obtained in the
last campaign. Since April of
last year, he said, the employees
contributed one per cent. Not all
of the employees contributed, he
sad, but pointed out that the
state land department had con-
tributed 100 per cent.
The meeting lasted nearly all
afternoon, starting at 2 o'clock,
and the resolutions adopted were
few. Included was a resolution
offered by Con P. Cronin, state
librarian, in coincidence for the
death Of General John Campbell
Greenway Of Warren, a member Of
the state central committee of the
party.
Indications, from addresses
made during the early part of the
meeting and from one resolution
adopted, were that the Colorado
river question, particularly oppo-
sit;on to the naturalization OF
the river as proposed in the re-
vised and revamped Swiug-J ohm |
son bill would be the principal
plank in the Democratic platform
for the 1926 state campaign.
The resolution adopted was one
which stated that it be the sense !
of the meeting that the next ses-
sion of the legislature be instruc-
ted to pass an annual appropria~
ton for the building of dam on
the Colorado river at one of the
sites in Arizona, the appropria-
tions to run until the dam is built
and that the necessary land for
the dam be bought or condemned
and all steps taken that are neces-
sary for the protection OF every
right of Arizona to and in the
Colorado river.
