Premier Campbell's Attitude Premier CAMPBELL is but a tyro in office, but inexperience alone does not excuse the ill- tempered and nndignified communication which he addresses to the Mayor of Charlottetown on the subject of unemployment relief. He pro- fesses to deprecute any attempt to make a pol- itical football of this question, and alleges that both the City Council and The (iuartliau i|4vc.¢||»-,--v1l<¢- .-.-._-‘.-s-<-~.H¢a~.a -_ well able lo answer for itself.‘ It has, in fact, -, ' in the resolution passed unanimously at Tues- l tlay’s annual meeting, already done so. As for ‘ The Guardian, it is Mr. CAMPmzLUs Contention t ' - - ~ that the Minute of the Treasury Board ivus de- ' liberately garbled, because it was stated “the Government will pay $3,000 to the city for the months of January, February and March for direct relief, provided the city, in each of those months contribute $4.500." It is amusing to note that our local contemporary also quotes this as l evidence of “garblitig" on the part of The Guardian. Amusing, we say, because exactly the some rvordiug appears in its own report of the . (Lily (jaimcil nzceting! The meaning is obvious . - 4 eitough, to any person, that the Governmentpro- i posal was to pay $3,000 monthly, as against ; $4.500 monthly by the City Council, The petty- fogging interpretation which Premier CAMPBELL places upon it is due; quite evidently, to his de- sire to shift the issue to partisan grounds. In doing so, he neglected to note that his criticism, such as it is, applies with as much force to his own party paper. as to The Guardian. ii ' " The Premier's attempt to show that there .' » is no decrease in the Government's contribution -_ is equally absurd. Last year the city paid one- ~- _ _ third of the relief costs, the Provincial Govern- i i ment contributing one-third and» the Federal ,,Government the remaining third. This year the Federal contribution is increased and paid over g v _ to the Province for the specific purpose of en- l .. abling the Province "to lighten the heavy relief burden of the municipalities.” Instead of light- ening thc burden, the CAMPBELL Government purposes to make the City pay in the proportion —not of r to 3, as previously, but of 41/1 to 3. This high-handed action is in flat violation of, the agreement reached at the De- cember Dominion-Provincial conference, and in striking contrast to the action of the Nova ScotiavGovemment, as reported in Wednesday's Guardian, and noted in these columns yesterday. i Premier CAMPBELL refuses even to discuss the matter with the Mayor and City Council, stating he will do so only “with the new Mayor and City Councillors _as soon as they come into power." This dictatorial gesture is a reflection on the electors of Charlottetown whose repre- sentatives he thus ignores. Coming on the eve of a civic contest, it can be construed by our citizens in only two ways. It is either a bribe or a threat! This is the situation, and we submit it is one calling for explanation and apology, rather than abuse and recrimination, on the part of Premier CAMPBELL. It is to be hoped, for his own sake as well as for the needy unemployed whom he would make the innocent victims of his spleen, that cooler heads within the Gov- ‘ ernment will exerf what influence they have to bring him into a more responsible frame of mind, A Call To Action a From the Sydney Port-Record (Indepen- " ' dent) comes strong irtlorsation of the attitude of the New Brunswic Liberal Government in opposing the transferring of constitutional am- ending power from the Imperial to the Dominion Parliament. In an editorial entitled “A Scheme to Scrap the B. N. A, Act" the Post-Record says: “This cautious and prudential position (of New Brunswick) is well-taken. Present neces- sary amendments, to the B. N. A. Act can be quickly procured in the usual way,—by Imperial , statute in pursuance of an address by the Domin- y; ion Parliament, with the concurrence of the Pro- vinces. To reduce the B. N. A. Act to the cate- gory of a Dominion statute, would be a retro- . grade move, contrary to the spirit of the Canad- ian Confederation, derogatory to the British con- nection, replete with possibilities of constitutional confusion and future trouble. None of the hlaritittie Governments should countenance so radical and ill-considered a step, for the B. N..A. Act, as an Imperialenactment, stands as the .. one solid guarantee of the rights and privileges , of the smaller Provinces, in a Federal Union in which they must always remain in a helpless minority. It is simply‘ astounding that New Brunswick is the only one of these Provinces to oppose such a surrender of the centralizing trend against which Maritime statesmen of all parties have been protesting vehemently for decades. '.l‘he people of Nova Scotia will expect a prompt and frank statémcnt from Premier ANGUS L. MACDONALD as to where he and his colleagues stand on this momentous and far-reaching con- stitutional issue." , a , Likewise it may be saidthat the ‘people of ‘Prince Edward Island looked for a similarly prompt and frank statement from Premier M, CAltrucLL on the subject, The have been dis- op inted. Not. only‘ have Mr. Auraau. and. his ' - gthqNew Brunswick - ' r- l ri hts, but from the l l. {L l‘ Il/L .1’ n». i}? are guilty in this respect. The City Council is‘ Why docs he Ilesifalc! l: he afraid of embar- rarfng the Ottawa administration! The New Brunswick Attorney General—also a‘ loyal party man-had nosuch scruples. He puts provincial interests before politics. Why cannot the CAMPBELL (iovernnlent rise to the occasion with the same spirit? ' Recognition of New Brunswick's right to the attitude it has adopted is now coming from all parts of (Tanada. Even Ontario newspapers are echoing this opinion. New Brunswick, we predict, will win its point! It \\'lll win despite the supine inditference-perhapsthe veiled an- tagonism-of the Prince Edward Island Liberal government; and having won, it will not easily forgef. Prince Edward Island may want New Brunswicks assistance on some future occasion. What will the answer likely be ? But it is not on New Brunswick’s account that we should enter protest against the scrap- ping of the B. N. A. Act; it is on our o\vn. Our status, as the smallest province, is more cer- tainly at stake. If we lose our identity provin- cially, we are bound to be shouldered with heat!- icr per capila taxation; There is still time for Premier CAMPBELL and his colleagues to consider these matters, and fall in line with their New Brunswick colleagues. If they fail to do so, it ivill he the sorriest failure ever scored against the Province. “It lies not in our stars, but in ourselves, That we are underlings.” How can we expect to be treated with any- thing but contempt, if we shirk the obligation of fighting our own battles ?

During that. llme the problem of how to' deal wlth the llquor traffic was almost continuously before our legislatures. About flfty statutes were passed deaillng ln some way or other wlth llquor, being a.n average throughout the period of one statute every two yrtrs. The continual enactment of laws has been the subject of comment ever slnce parliaments begun to take a hand In the goveranco of human affairs. In u. rather notable decision, somethlng over three hun- dred years ago, written by one of the most emfnent of Brttlsh judges, there appears the followlng pas- sage: "To one who- marvelled‘ what should be the reason that Acts and Statutes are continuously made at every Parliament, wlth- out Intermission, and without end; a. wlse man made a and short answer, both which are well composed tn verse: ‘Quaerltiu, ut erescunt tot magma - volumtna. legls?
