PROGRESSIVE SALEM I 1 The airport is carried by an overwhelming majority And the news is broadcasted to the country that Salem is placed on the air map Put there in capital letters, as becomes the capital of the state For this means that this city is to have the roomiest air port in Oregon, where the largest ships of the air may land in safety and take off with the smallest liability to accident; with the amplest leeway and freedom from obstructions. And the Salem airport will have ail the standard equip ments prescribed by the federal regulations. It will have the proper beacons day and night. The bird men up aloft over the vicinity of Salem will be able to easily find the landing place here. The vote of yesterday means that the city gets behind a bond issue of $50,000 ; that the people of Salem have voted the credit of the city to that extent But it does not mean any additional tax For the income of the airport from various sources will, under .good management, pay the interest charges on the bonds and will retire the issue. Salem is very fortunate in being able to secure a splendid airport site, with the cooperation of the state of Oregon. The state will have the perpetual use of the airport for the accom modation of its aircraft for every department. The people of Salem are to be congratulated upon this for ward step in city building.

THE NARCOTIC NUISANCE The joint narcotic commission of Oregon and California, created by the last legislature for the purpose of making a study of the narcotic situation on this coast and makinc re commendations to the next session of the -feirislature. has been conducting an extensive survey of the narcotic drug sit uation in the eight Pacific slope states. W. J. Herwig, the secretary of the Oregon commission, who is at present in California continuing the survey, authorized the following statement: "After a very careful study, of the narcotic drug situation primarily in Oregon, Washington and California, we have learned the following facts obtained from physicians, police officers and police records: There are1 not less than 7000 ad dicts in the eight Pacific slope states, 4000 of which are in California, 600 in Oregon, and about 1000 in Washington. These addicts expend not less than $18,000,000 each year for drugs, supplied by drug peddlers. The drug peddler gets his supply by smuggling at the rate of from $10 to $24-an ounce.1 He sells the same at the prevailing price of $1.00 per grain! Considerable of these drugs are dilutd about 25 per cent, netting the drug peddler from $350 to $500 an ounce. On ac count of the enormous profit there has grown up on this coast a very highly organized and highly financed drug ring We also find that the narcotic laws of the various states are' e.rtirely inadequate. There is no coordination of th forces in a united effort against this evil. There is great need for a united action up and down the coast in order to ef- tctiveiy cope with the drug ring. The commission i nroru.r ing a strong code of narcotic laws, which we hope will be en- acxea into law in all of the states on this coast alikp will also create the necessary machinery for a vigorous en levement or the same; thus tieing up the whole illicit drug iraae on tne entire coast and makiner it imnossihl tK drug peddler or the addict to be chased from one state to tne otner as far as the effectivenss of the law is concerned The commission has come to the conclusion that thin U im. ptrative as the first step in an effective coastwide campaign. "The commission finds also that none of the states of this coast makes provision for the proper medical treatment of tooicts. lnere are at present between 1000 and 1500 addicts in the jails and prisons of these states. Some of them have been committed as often as a dozen times. The commission in Cali fornia is proposing to secure an appropriation in the next ses sion of the legislature to buy a large farm, upon which wil be built sanatariums to which these drug addicts may be com mitted for proper care, treatment and isolation." The Narcotic Commission in Oregon consists of Hon. J. E Dunne, chairman; Hon. J. O. Bailey, and W. J. Herwig, sec Salem is air minded. Her vision is as high as the sky, but her feet are on the ground. Congratulations to the winners. And may the losers show the virtues of good sport manship.
