Wepwespay, May1l 7
House met at 10.40.
On motion of Hon. Mr. House went into committee on the act respecting tuberculusis in cattle, Mr. Birch taking the chair. The provisions of the bill were explained by Mr. Richards The bil! provides for the examination of cattle imported into this province, said ex~ amination to be made by an officer special- ly appointed for the purpose. The bil] was reported agreed to and set down for third reading tomorrow.
On motion of Hon. Mr. Farquharson the bill regarding the construction of the Prince of Wales College was read a third time and passea,
Hon. H.C. Macdonald submitted a bill amending the Hillsborough bridge ac’, wh.ch was sl+o read a secondtime, the rule of the House bearing upon second readings being suspended to admit of th's being done.
Mr. Macdonald explained that the Minister of Railways, to whom the bill had been sept, objected to the clans» providing thatthe amount to be paid by this provinse shall be fixed at the completion of the con- tract, and to meet this objection he (Mr. Macdonald) proposed to give the Provin- ci«l government authority to enter into an agreement upon this point at any time.
Mr. Shaw moved in amendment that euch agreement be entered into provided work be commenced on said bridge during the year 1899 and be completed not later than 1901.
The House divided on Mr. Shaw’s amendment which was declared lost, and the bill as submitted by Mr. Macs donald was carried. Third reading to- morrow.
Ono motion of Mr. Peters the bill regard ing idiots and persons of unsound mind, was read a third time acd paseed.
On motion of Hon, H. C. Macdonald the House wert int> committee on the bill imposing a direct tax on certain clas-~ ses of traders, Mr. D.A. McKinnon in the chair. Mr. Macdovald expiainsd that the bill provided for adding $5 to the’ tax on commercial travellers. excepting liquor travellers upon whom a tax of $205 ia to be imposed. Provision 1a also made for im posing a tax of $209 on liquor sellers in the city, and for the imposition of fiaes and penalties for violations of the law.
Committee on the bill wes resumed afier reces#.
Hon. Mr. Gordon eaid he was noé in sympathy with the ideaof adding $5 ‘0 the $15 already psid by commercial tra- vellers. These men spend a good deal o! money here, and the increased tax might

couraged The tax might be held to ap- ply :o book agent~, some of whom were enzeged in she bu-iness in order to pay their way through c liege. The tax of $200 on liquor agenis he koked upon aa dead letter as the lquor men could estab- lish agencies here,
Mr. Campbell thought the Leader was killing the goose that was laying the gold- eneggs. Under the existing tax of $15 a snug revenue was received from the com wercial travellers. But if the tax is in- creased it must have the effect of keeping mauy of the travellers away. This will mean the loss of a good deal of monev here. He thought it wa- abeurd to tax the ] quor agents $200, as these would no t come uere but would pay the fare of the ‘iqnor sriler to Picton and back. The Leader, who was now in ao underband way endeavoring to foist licenee on the com- munity, had previously denoanced liquor money as“ blood money.” He claimed that the act could not be eoterced as it was a direct infringement of the British North America Act. The City cf Charlottetown should be given a licensing board which would regulate the tr ffic and decide who would sell and who would not, and let them have the money. This would be muco better than allowing any man who paid $209 tax tosell in any kiod of a place as was prov ded by tue bill befere the House. Mr. De+Roche pointed out that in the case Of a commercisl traveller who sold both Jiquor and groceries there was no dis- crimination. He believed that euch e@ traveller would have to take out two licenses and pay $220. This, he thought, v ould be the means of keeping many com- mercia] men from coming here,and would mean the loss of c.nsiderabie money to the city and province. He thought the section was altogether too stringent.
The first eection, which dealt with the tax en commercial travellers, was then adopted ov a party vote.
On the section regarding the taxing of liqaor sellers, Mr. Shaw pointed out that a tew evenings ago the Leader in the House denonoced the sale of jiqaor in every way, and called upon the oppomtion to come over and help him. But to-day he comes in with a new bill providing that the liquor people may be allowed to sell upon payment ofa tax of $200—or in other words brings down a license lav. The Leader had pveviously said chat by reason of the sale of liquor in Charlottetown there were souls reeking in hell, Yet he is vow supporting a bill providing for an innnmer- atle number of liquor sellers in Charlotte - tewn. If it is an evil to eell 1qnor why perpetuate i? If it is not an evil then let it te made as free as the sale of dry goods By his actions the Leader has done more to injure the cause of temperance than the most abandoned saloon-keeper that ever degraded this province, Mr. Shaw rce minded the Leader and other members on the Goverament side of the House of their piedges against license and charged them with going back on their promises upon this point. The very men who had a short time ago expreseed thc mee] ee@ a8 Op- poged to a license law were nOw supporting the bl] before the Heuse which was nothing less than a measure of license. He (Mr. Shaw) felt that taey had no right to pass this bill, About a year hence the people of Charlo tetown will be given a chance to vote on the Scort Act. But if ibis billis passed it will place a great power in the hands of the Jiquor people and will strike a serious blow at the Scott Act.
Hon. Mr. MeL: ugi lin claimed that the act did not give the iiquor ee'lers eny lberiv or license that they did rot at presenterjoy. He believed the measure he‘ore the House, if it became Jaw, would have the effect of wiping out the treffic in ‘isreputable y laces.
Mr. Birch tpoke of the measure before the House as one of the most important ‘hat bad come up this eession. The Gov-
rement say they are going to put eome restraint on the liquor business. Bat w} at will the restraint amount to? There is no Joabt that the fullest measure of license ie granted the liquor sellers. The prerent measure does not take f om thrm «ny of these privileges. Tuey will easily be able to get the $200 required for the tax. He believed the cefeat of the Scott Aci last searon wis duet>the vote being taken the day afier the general election The present Icatver hat swallowed all his previous utterarces against lcense and was new favoring a measure which recog- nizes the l'quor eel'er. He felt sure that some of ‘hose who were fuop ring the present bill wonld be beld to accovat for their actions by their constituents.
Mr A. Peters deni d that the Leader of the Goverrment was vetrae to bi princiyl-s, el bough he hai perbaps, charged his opinion eomewna’. The temperaree people laet session» rought in a bili easy ng thata man might? eell all the rum ne wisted it he paid $200 into the treasury. But the bill did not become law. He was prevd of the action taken by the Leader of the Government. The present bill would do much to wipe out the sale of liquor in Charloitetown. The step was one that should have been taken long ago. It was absurd to held people responsible for an opinion expreseed three or four years ego. Men had a right to change their wpinion oa this or any other matter. He was proud of the Leader of the Governmont for taking this matter out of the hands of such an incompe'ent body as the temperance alliance.
Mr. Campbell eaid that the Leader was deceiving the people. He told the House in his budget. speech that he was to get $14,00@ for reveue purposes from taxin certain classes of traders. Yet inthe bil before the House it is stated that the mos+y is to go towards the payment of an inspector.
Hon. H. C. Macdonsld said that much nonsense was talked on this matter of tem~ perance. He poiated eut that the Scott
