cents and this tax shall be duly collected by the Kuang Yuan

Office. Although this tax is levied on all firms buying raw

opium and selling prepared opium, it is really ultimately paid

by the opium smoker, so that the trade in raw and prepared

opium will in no way be interfered with.

7.

Purchasers of raw opium shall convert the whole amount

into prepared opium within three days and shall not illegally

store it for an excessive time, thereby frustrating the work of

the suppression of opium.

8.

The Kuang Yuan Office shall establish sub-offices in

the prefectures, departments and districts throughout the

province, to administer these regulations in a uniform manner.

The raw and prepared opium merchants are forbidden to cause

trouble. The whole responsibility will thus rest on one body,

and uniformity will be secured.

9.

Raw and prepared opium merchants, who already hold

trading licences, must change them; those, who do not already

hold licences, must obtain them within five days from the date

these regulations come into force, after which only the closing

of shops will be allowed and not the opening of new ones. Persond

not holding licences will not be allowed either to buy or sell

opium.

10.

Persons, not holding licences to buy raw opium, will

not be allowed to buy raw opium; persons, not holding licences

to boil opium, will not be allowed to boil opium. Should they

infringe this regulation, they will be severely dealt with.

11.

Should any bad characters among the merchants be

guilty of any offence against these regulations, his licence to trade will be cancelled, and he will be compelled to close his

establishment, and an exemplary fine will be imposed.

12.

One taal of raw opium shall be calculated as producing

half a tael of prepared opium. Thus, for instance, should a

merchant report now that he had bought one tael of raw opium, later, when he had boiled it down, his tax would be calculated

on
