Bfllfllll. h€ 881d, the pension Wls granted for four years’ con- secutive service as the head of a department; in others, five years. Mr. Borden was sure the proposal would commend itself to the country. Ministers‘ salaries were Wfy moderate now, and the govern. mom's proposals might help to st- tract good men into public life. Many of those who had formed the ministries of Canada since Confed- eratiorgwere men who could have made a. far better and more lucra- tive living atsome other occupg- tion. - In the brief discumion which fol- lowed the observations oi the two leaders "Billy" Maclean W ‘ ’ that five years was too long a period of service. Doctor sproule thought ten years short enough; Mr. Bergeron wanted it to be three years. Mr. Belcourt urged that the Speaker of the House of Commons should also be eligible for the pen- sion. The resolutions, and the 11111.; founded upon them. passed without opposition. and the ex-mlnisfgrs eligible for pensions under- thlg legislation were listed as follows: Sir Charles Topper and Sir Mac- kcnzie Bowell, $4.000 pension each; Mr. l-‘faggart. Mr. Foster. Sir John Carling, Sir A. P. Caron, Sir C. H. Tupper. Sir Hector Langevin, Mr. Blair. Mr. Slftcn. Mr. Ccsgrain and Mr. Tarts. $3.500. The total yearly sum involved was $58,000. ‘in addition, sir Wilfrid ' Inurier. Sir Richard Cartwright, Sir William Mulock, Sir Fred Borden, sir Richard Scott, and Mews. Fitz- patrick, Fisher and Fielding. would be eligible for pensions when they retired from office. Now" had this proposal stood alone; had it been introduced at another session, dissevered from the other increases. in my judgment it would have amused very little op- position in the country and prob- ably would have been law today. but when linked with other finan- cial propcsnis; the sossionai in- creases to Senators and members 0i the House, additional salariestc the judges. the $4.000 increase to the Prime Minister and the $7.000 ses- sional allowance to the Leader of the Opposition-all ,0! which en- tailed an immediate and additional yearly liability of $568,000—-there was hostile criticism from one end 0i’ the country to the other The in- creases to the judges and to the Prime Minister were generally ap- proved, but the augumentcd indem- nities of members of the two Houset and the pensions to ex- minislers were roundly denounced by stalwart Liberal newspapers like the Toronto Globe; the Manitoba Free Press and the Montreal Herald. equally as by the Con- servative press. represented by the Mail and Empire, the Montreal Gazette. the London Free Press. tho Halifax Herald, the Hamilton Spec- W-fll’. etc. "The most shameless sal- ary grab on record." "altogether un- called for pesioning." ‘ffrenzied fi- nance." uttcrlyindefensible," "plan- ned in the dark and sprung sud- denly." "a wholesale and reckless raid on‘ the treasury" were some of the expressions hurled at Parlia- ment and the government. One of the points emphasized by the critics was the method of awarding the allowance to ex-miii- isiers. In Great Britain pensions we" Bfanied by the Crown Only upon application; and this had to declaration by the applicant that he was in absolute heed. These pensions were abolished entirely in April. 1924. except for Ill-Lord Chancellors, two of whom, Lord Hailsham and Lord Buckmas- M‘. each received 925,000 per an- fluln. These gentlemen are on the Wiision list today. i The opposition in Canada steadily increased. Political associations.

The go - ernment, however, had decided ask Parliament in repeal the legis- lation as being in advance of public Opinion. Immediate‘ a. protest came from m". Foster. who was one of the beneficiaries under the "1 Bold he. "When the Par- liament of any country legisiates it is supposed tolegislate sanely and with its eyes open, and in a case 0f this kind, as in many other caseo. certain rights‘ are created. Under the legislation certain action my have been taken by the bene- ficiaries, acting in good faith and relying upon an act of Parliament passed supposedly under sane and deliberate conditions.” Mr. Fielding in reply said in view of the fact that no bargain or contract had been made between the beneficiaries and Parliament it was not deemed that any vested rights had been created. ‘Upon this iattter point let me mention an interesting fact. wcll known in official circls at the time. One of the err-cabinet miriis- ters. being hard pressed financially, had commuted his annuity for a. good, round sum—staten to be bey tween $25,000 and $40,000, and naturally he did not like the idea. 0f the friend who had purchased the pension rights being muiched for such a large sum of money, or that he. the former minister, should be called upon to refund. The gov- ernment was-adamant, and the Re- peal Bill went through. From the time the law became operative until its repeal the following sums had been drawn by the cx-ministers en- titled under the legislation to re- ceive them: ' Sir Charles Tupper arid Sir Mac- kenzie Bowell. each $2,795; Sir C. H. Tupper. $2,154; Sir A. P. Caron, Sir John Carling. Mr. John Costi- gan. Sir Hector Lzmgevin, M1‘. Foster. Mr. Haggart, Mr. ‘Parte, Mr. Blair and Mr. Sifton, each $2,446. At this some session. (1003) “Billy" Maclean and Uriah Wilson, of Lenncx, tried to secure the re- peal of the companion statute which increased members‘ 111110111- nltles to $2.501, but found them- selves up against a stone ivall. When the division took placc on 111E second reading of this measure the vote stood 9 for to 107 against. both leaders. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. Borden, speaking and voting against it. some day when finan- cial conditions are better and public opinion is more amenable.

From an- other source comes the information that it is to include ruin. One of the members of the ‘ islature has said that he does not" think it would be worth while to bring in a measure doing away with Pm- hibition because it would not stand a vote. Some of the general public think it is only talk and nothing that a. Government Control Act is going through wind that opposition is useless. All of which goes to show that some of us are poor prophets. But one thing we do know and. that is that the enactment of a. Government Liquor control law has always beenfoilowed by . an rin- creasc of the very evils which i: was supposed to reduce or abolish. The Salvation Amiy is in touch with conditions and their reports can be trusted. A fair sample of their ex- Ths province supposed to hsve its . _ . through faclli ies author- ized by its liquor control lsw. the beer and wine manufacturers were not satisfied, and worked up asuccsssful agitation -whicb re- sulted in the law being amended in hotels and clubs.

The doubling of the num-- her of drunks in the police courts and their i-cquenc on the streets, has given a. complete rejoinder in the claim that beer is nannies liquor. The presence of women, of- ten in quite large, numbers in the beverage rooms-c. thing unheard ofin Ontario in the bai- days-hur- given rise to the sickening sense of disgust and fear in the heart-z not only of those who have held drinking objectionable but in a vast number of men who personally in- i‘ in liquor.
