Observations mada by the gov
ernor in connection with inmates
Of the state penitentiary and by
other methods has revealed a
serious situation, particularly in
Portland.
! The letter sent by the governor
to Dr. Strieker follows:
"From observations I have
made in connection with prisoners
at the state penitentiary, and
from information received from
Other sources, I find there ap
parently is a most serious situ
ation, in Portland at least, anl
posslwy in other parts of the
state, in connection with the ille
gitimate sale of narcotic drugs.
Reports come to me from reliable
persons that the number of ad
dicts to'-the deplorable practice of
drug using is growing. If this
is trne it is a most alarming sit
uation. In any event, the illegal
use of narcotic drugs should not
only be curbed, but eliminated en
tirely, if possible.
Wide Inquiry Sought
"I am writing you as secretary
of the state board of health and
state health officer and also
writ'.ng to the secretary of the
state board of pharmacy asking
you to jointly conduct an Inves
tigation into all phases of this
traffic, and gather information
to as nearly as possible cover the
situation in the state. In ad
dition I would be pleased to have
you secure all available data as
to how other states deal with
th's problem, not only as to its
enforcement but in handling the
addicts themselves.
It is my plan, when your In
vestigation is far enough ad
vanced to warrant it. to call a
joint meeting of the state board
of health and the state board of
pharmacy, and ask you to lay this
information before them, and re
quest they take up the problem
from that time to further go into
the, question and make a report
and recommendations covering
the entire subject.
Elimination Necessary
I realize the necessity for
curbing and eliminatinc the use
oi narcotic drugs in as snort a
time as possible. But when the
job of cleaning it up Is done, :t
should be done thoroughly and
well, and I appreciate the advfsa
bllity of going into all of the de
tails to the end that we may be
prepared to meet the situation
'I would be pleased to hear
from you at the earliest possible
moment as to when you can go
ahead with this investigation and
when I may expect a preliminary
reort.
"Will you kindly consult with
Mr. Frank'S. Ward, secretary of
tha state board of pharmacy, fo
you may co-ordinate your ef
forts."
