"EPIDEMICS"

PREMIER LEA: I might say to my hon. friend that there are doctors repeatedly going to the Commission. telling them there ls on epidemic of some kind or another and thnt fifty prescriptions are not enough. HON. MR. STEWART: That might be in one particular case, but- PREMIER LEA: You have got to leave that to the judgment of the

Those of- ficers should be attending t1 this duty. if they are responsible only to the Prohibition co lzllll-ivlflll, of course they will likely continue to neglect the trafllc laws.

MR. DENNIS ANSWERED DR. MCMILLAN: I would like to refer to the statement oi the mem- ber from O'Lchry (Mr. Dennis) as t0 the time when doctors were al- lowed 250 prlcrlptions snd when there was no limit to the number they could issue. will he inform the committee when that was?

‘ (Mr. Dennis did not reply.)

DR. MCMILLAN: l an: waiting for the member's answer. MR. DENNIS: I might. say the junior member from the second Dis- trict of Prince (Mr. Sharp) was chair msu oi’ the Prohibition Commission at that time. Ask him. DR. MCMILLAN: I um not ask- ing the junior member from the Second District. l am asking the sen- lor member, who made the statement. MR. DENNIS: You can verify the statement if you care to do it. DR. MCMILLAN: I know tharthe statement ‘ be verified.‘ It is not correct.

nlor ember from the Second Dis- trlct is wrong in more ways than of the. I‘. hlbitlon Commission. (Lsughtbr-l MR. DENNIS: I apologize to the House. I made a. mistake.

DR. MOMILLAN: did. You made two mistakes.

DR. MOMILLAN: They were al- lowed three books at one time; that is lbii prescriptions.

MR. DENNIS: Well, there is still s substantial improvement in health. DR. MCMILLAN: And there ls still ample room for you to improve on s. statement which is not cor- rect. (Applause) Epidemics were referred to by the Prtrmer. l sup- pose he was thinking about the ep- lderr‘! in Summerslde when he made that statement; when a certain doc- tor who ls now a membe ‘of thr Government issued ninety prescrip- tlons and he said that was the cause of it.

Government, paid by somebody else iivhat control has the Government lover that official if he [snot pom by the Government at all?

PREMIER LEA: The control we have is in regard to criminal mat-. ters under the direction of the At- torney Gcncral. In regard to the enforcement of Prohibition the chair- man of the Prohibition Commission has control.

HON. MR. STEWART: But why is he not paid by the Government? The system ls a vicious one.

PREMIER LEA: Why?

HON. MR. STEWART: Because the Government is handling the ud- mlnlstraiion of Justice in this Pro- vlnce. The officers enforcing that ad- ministration should be under the At- torney GencraPs control, and they are not under his control unless they are paid by the controlling officer.

PREMIER. LEA: They can be con- trolled without being paid.

HON. MR. STEWART: I entirely disagree. I will venture to say that there is not any precedent in this or any other Government for such pro- ceedings. It ls a vicious practice.

THE PREMIER/S ARGUMENT

PREMIER. LEA: Does my hon. friend believe that in a. small Pro- vince such aS we are, where it is ne- cessary just to have enforcement of the law in regard to the Prohibition {Act and other Acts, it is not a. more leconomlcal method, because while 'these oficers are enforcing the Pro- hibltlon Act their time is not‘ all ‘I taken up and they might just as well gbe controlling other misdemeanors. iIt is cheaper for the Province and i

think they are giving abetter ser- vice to the people, because these men can carry out this work jointly. HON. MR. STEWART: I do not admit the force of what my hon. friend says and I think the time will come, before long, when We shall have serious difficulty on account of the dual work in this department. We have orlmlnalrnatters which are directly under the control of this Government, and the officers respon- sible for the enforcement of these matters should he paid by the G0v~ erument. If they must be paid out of the Prohibition Comnfssion funds, let these funds be paid, as they should bc paid. into the Govern- ment treasury, and let the Govern- ment pay these officials, and not have any other body paying officluls of the Government. MR. ARSENAULT: How many Provincial Police officers are there? PREMIER LEA: Fourteen- MR. ARSENAULT: Are they div ided, so many in each county? PREMIER LEA: They are divided. with headquarters in Summersidr- for Prince County, Montague for, Kings County, and Charlottetown for a Queens. MR. ARSENAULT: At what saL‘
