14 THE SUADAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 12, 1922 mayor proposes ADDICT -HOSPITAL State Institution Is Found Among Urgent Needs. JAIL HELD WRONG PLACE Mr. Baker Expresses View That People or Stale Do Not Kealize Menace of Narcotic Habit. " The people of Oregon are fast awakening to the horror that follows in the wake of the narcotic evil, but even with the widespread publicity that has followed the conferences of th Narcotic Control Association of Oregon there la but a small minority vf citizens who have any conception of the importance of combatting this evil. Such Is the opinion of Mayor (Jeorge I. Baker, president of the as sociation. who saiJ he believed that if the people of Oregon could have heard the stories that fell from the lips of seven or eight unfortunate addicts who appeared before the nitecing of the association last Thurs day, a state institution where these hapless creatures miKht be r eclat me 1 would be constructed at once. These al!;et presented one of the most pitiful pictures of misery presented in the city hall In months. Nearly a.l who appeared were pale, emaci ntd and nervous. The moat sodden drunkard that fell into the gutters 4f I 'or? land in the pre-Volstead day, was physically sound compared with the addict who told their stories to the ton fere nee. Mate laatitattoa Held Hope. Thcae stories, together wit h the eitlen-e that has been leathered by men who have studied the situation !-r years. Mayor Baker says, is con vim-intc argument ihat a state insti t ut ion is the only hope of cure for narcotic users. The addicts said they entered jails ph y i teal w reckw. spent days wnen they wtTo too ill to sit up in their bunks, and that when finally, re leased they were so weak that they would seek more dope, Many times, it was said, narcotic peddlers would await them at the door of the jail, and proffer them tuff" without charge in order to have them back on the "habit" and thus insure further hutre profits. According to one victim, drugs are constantly smuggled into jail?, de spite vigilance exercised by police. Jails Tboaa-kt Vr( l-Iar. "10 you believe that jails are l proper place in which to confine nar cot ;c t:sers? Mayor Baker asked 3 j oung 'user. "No." she emphatically declared. "I contracted a worse habit in jail than i had when I was placed In there It developed at this hearing that liters of narcotics, although prac tually cured of the habit, will be come iirrioiisly I! I upon ' seeing an other narcotic user deprived of the drug. In jails where bunks are estab li'ied in corridors, the arrival of a new addict, suddenly cut. off from ource of supply and who becomes v;o!entl iU. causes the entire row of a ld'ets to become ill also. Tuts, of course, is not the worst fr.iture f jail treatment, it was as-n-ried. The real concern is the fact that the latest addict to be hrousrht into jail many times has a healthy supply of narcotics, which Jail at-tend-ants have not been a Me to dis cover, and this fresh supply is quick. v beth, Ind., when I waa 12 years old." recalled Walter H.

"When I find that law infractions have been overlooked I will hold the men on the beats re sponsible and suspend them for 30 days. Maybe that will wake them up. "I have issued orders, in the most emphatic way possible, that this office want3 the laws enforced.
