In the pamphlet “Information on the rlebiscitc." issued by the Government, we’ are told that the choice‘ "is between a "New Tcmher- mg, not,» m4 the “Old, prohibi ‘v Act" as it existed before the oulien Amendment. ltJ-is stated that” e suouementsnoletinction is doctors’ prescriptions. Further on it isstated that "the question to be sub- mittbd to'the people ofthe Province is. oar-phrased. "v0.10" W121i doctors to write prescriptions or not?" Is this an attempt to confuse the people? The ’ ue is not. “Do you want doctm-s to wri prescrip- tions or not?" _ eiundamcntal issueis, "Do you wish alcohol sold under the Prohibition Act for medicinal purposes only, or~do you wish y; sold under the New Temperance Act, so called, for beverages pur-

oses?" s‘ -

p Let us nowjlaok ,at thé} name, ."Ne'I ‘Ifemperance Ant.’ It isypro- posed that this Act is ‘Io pi-eniotettmoerence especially by doins two things, which we shall consider gin the reverse order. We are told that ihoNcw Temperance Act will prevent those under twenty-one years of ago from getting liquor. Docs the Prohibition Act permit them to get it? It is stated-in the 1040 Amendment that "the Lieu- tensnt-Governor-in-Councii may make reguistionsifor the issuing of certificates permitting the sale to persons not under the age of twenty- one years. of beer. ale. porter. stout, lager, or light wince." If the aovernmcnynevi that this clause was being .'olatcd. and did not pro- perly enfor e the Act, what proof have we that the New ‘temperance Act will be enforced? .

Secondly, this so-called "New nmperance Act". we are told. is aimed at the sin of internperance. If ‘there is lntemperance in this province. it has been allowed under the Prohibition Act, which the Government was supposed to enforce to prevent intemper . How then can we believe that the‘ Government will enforce the New Temp- erance Act if they did not enforce the Prohibition Act.

Again, in connection with the sins of ihternpcrance, we are told that where it is made to appear to the" satisfaction of any Justice that any person, by excessive drinking of liquor. mic-spends. wastes, or lessens his estate....or endangers or interrupts the peace and happi- ness nf his family, eto., the justice may make an ordcr of interdiction. directing the cancellation of any permit held by that person. That clause has little value, save for propaganda , ~ . betﬂllst Vti’! 19W are going to hold up their friend or relative to public ridicule. Furth- ermore, es long as thcreis liquor available. there is bound to be ex- cessive drinking. with all its attendant evils. '

It is sometimes said that if we have more outlets for the sale of pure liquor, there will be less bootlcgging. Ontario has Government stores and beverage rooms, yet while in 1034 there were 506'! convic- tions for violations of the Liquor Act, in 1042 there were 0001 such convictions. In 1038 Premier Taschcreau made a speech in the Legis- lature favoring the keeping of liquor stores open to a late hour. The reason he gave for this was that the bootlcgging business was in operation at all times of the year in every section of the Province. In British Columbia, where they had Government stores for some years. two and a half years lftcr beverage rooms were opened in Van- couver, the Vancouver B , a leading newspapcryincver notorious for ouver at the present time is the bootleggcrs’ heaven. There are ten times as many bootlcggcrs in this city as there are Lawyers, Oiergyrnen, Doctors, and Engineers. The open operation of bootlegging joints is a disgrace to Vancouver". Sometime later, the British Oolumbia Liquor Board. ordered one of its stores in Van- couver to remain open all night.

When this was challenged, the Board defended its action on the ground that it had to do this to bcat the tlegger. In no Province in Canada has the Government store or the verage room eliminated bootlegging. Think well over what you are going to do on the 28th of, June. No Government could have passed an Amendment to the Prohibition Act permitting the sale of beer and wine, etc, by the glass, but, having given the Government permission under the New Tempuance Act, so called, to sell liquor for beverage purposes, they doubiless will not be committing any contradiction to pass an Amend- ment to the New Temperance Act. so called, permitting the sale of liquor by the glass -in Hotels, Inns, and Restaurants.

Neither docs the selling d! liquor by the glass decrease drinking since Ontario has had beer parlors, the amount consumed has in- crcased- 17%. Only in Prince Edward Island has the increase been mall, due, in large measure, to the fact that the Prohibition ‘Act has been retained. During the years when Government sale and beverage rooms have operated in most of the Provinces. hcrc are the facts as furnished by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics: lion of spirits increased 218%, bccrincrcased 206%, wine increased 008%.. Remember, snProhibitlon Act badly administered is always better than a Government Bale Act well administered, because with a Giovu-nmcnt Bale Act, you have nothing higher of which to think er .or which to work: but with s Prohibition Act you have the highest

I ideal at which to aim and for which to work.
