A NEW DOC`fRINE~

` Sir Wilfrid Laurier in his answer to the Dominion Alliance has pro- _pounded an entirely new doctrine in r representative institutions. In order to make this perfectly clear we quote is few sentences from his famous letter:

“We are cf the opinion that the

fairest way of approaching the ques- tion is by the consideration of the total .vote cast in favor ot prohibition, leav- ~-ing aside altogether the Vote recorded against its '

‘-In that view of the question, the

shows that the electorate ol to which the question was sub-

ised 1,233,849 voters, and

of that number less than twenty-three per cont, or a trifle over one-fifth, iamrmod their conviction in the principle

prohibition. . . -In our judgment, the expression of

opinion recorded at the polls in of ppohibition-did not represent

such a proportion of the electorate as

justify the introduction by the

_government of a prohibitory measure.”

“Sir Wilfrid, in order to make as low as possible the per centage of the electorate who voted for prohibition _has taken the total number on the lists, some of the lists were

000 to 20,000 die yearly. Other thousands become. incapacitated by sickness, accident or old age from go- to the polls. Many other _thous- ands are unable tovote because they

*have removed from Canada, or from

fone province or electoral division to

`-another, or are absent from their

_homes on the day of the election.

_ So that probably a million would rep-

resent the total number who could

“_ 'have voted in the plebiscite, had _ . 'they desired to do so. Those who `” rated for prohibition number-

' »ed 278.487, or the equivalent of over

'27 percent of the available elector- -ate. But this by the way.

Let us apply Sir Wilfrid’s own pro-

-position that 23 per cena of a voting *body is not enough to decide a. ques- tion. The House of Commons has 1213 members. Forty seven members would be a full 23 per cent of that body. Yet as a matter of fact more then one half the questions submitted to the Commons are passed upon with less than 23 per cent of the members voting in the affirmative. Even mo- tions of want of confidence in which the fate of the govern- ment is at stake, have been sometimes defeated with less than 23 pei cent of the total membership of the House voting in the majority. Futhermore the rules of the Commons provide that twenty members constitute a quorum of that body for the transac- tion of business. _

Twenty members make less than

10 per cent of the full House. And

q »

,fsppqlzfir does not count the House, l _ _ _ unless his atteiition is called by ay member to the fact that there is not a quorum of members present. But if the required twenty are there the bars majority of that number are all powerful, whether it he to pass a. most, M important bill, or vote millions of l public money.

In the Senate, with a mernbersliip

of 80, the quorum is fixed at 15 lmembers, and a less number goes on

tention of the presiding otiicer is dir- ected to the want_of a quorum. Thus less than 10 per cent of one of our Houses of Parliament and 19 ‘per cent of the other house are compet- ent to pass upon the most important ‘measures It only requires a majority of the quorum, of course, in either case to carry a measure, so that under the conditions specified and frequenty existing ll members ofthe Commons and 8 members of the Senate could pass any measure.
