Mo? ii-With a caucus o! the Liberal members scheduled for the first of the week conjecture here runs high u... the possibility of a definite pronouncement being made regal-din; in election this summer._0n all sides is heard the opinion that the budget delivered yesterday by Hon. C. A. Dunning. Minister of Finance, was an "clac- tion budget." while it is conceded that the government, ‘in drafting the budget had in mind the poscibllit/y of an election campaign it is by no means certain that the government's mind has been made up on the ques- tion of appealing to the country this year. Conservative members also seem to favor an election this year, par- thelr leader, pr “ ‘ly challenged the administration to appeal to the country on its fiscal policy. before the liimpire economic conference to be held in" London late in September. This was .. =0 immediately after the close of the budget yesterday. The debate on the budget will be- gin on ‘niesdsy. in some quarters it is believed the debate will be short and that dissolution will be brought about in perhaps a. month. One of the deciding factors in this wl1l'_be the progress made on the remainder of the government's list of legisla- tion. ‘rhero are several measures on the list that are expected to be pass- ed if an appeal is made this year- and the progress‘ with these quite apart from that of the budget debate. will be taken into consideration. l i lionse and Galleries Deserted Appearance The House at the opening of pro- ceedings this afternoon. presented a marked contrast to budget dayi The packed galleries of yesterday gave way to an atmosphere close to de- scrtion.

Why exhibit doubts or fears?! They knew that if the Conservatives had won, Prohibition would havef been dead altogether.

Omens. ' l Reviewing the events immediately‘ following the election of the Saundq ers Government the Bulletin says that one of the first requests of pro-i, hlbitionlsts, an early session of the legislature, was denied. The Prem-; ier "went into seclusion for more than two months after the election and could not be interviewed.“ His Government meanwhile “was being carried on under the leadership of a person who previous to the election had always been regarded as an ad- vacate of the liquor interests. His in- iluelice upon the Prelnie; was not ‘flint of a friend of Prohibition. Like. the unjust steward. however. he‘ iiiadc himself friends of the mam- inon of unrighteousness. and not long afterwards received his reward. Another instance of the children of, this world being wiser than the! children of light." Political Victory. Promises had been made to prohibitionist allies that their own leaponslbility on Government. The claim of the Saunders Gov} ernment that it has no control of‘ the Ififbitlon Commission's cdmlin istratim d the Act ll flsul disposed of: - ‘ ’ ‘ "Three, years will have elapsed in ilune ‘since there were elected twen- ty-four men, everfone ‘of whoiiifhad expressly and nnequfvcceiiy pledged himself to the enforcement of the Prohibition Act. During three ses- ‘slons these‘ twenty-four men have met in deliberation. They had at their ‘- the plenary and ab- soluh power‘ of the legislature. a power as great. within the limits of the constitution. as any which had ever been exercised by an absolute monarch. With their overwhelming majority they were able to control the exercise of executive authority. to add to. or take away from. the power of the Government or of any Department of the Government. or’ of anyCommlssion, and to subject the exercise of executive power, whether by the Government itself or ‘by’ its Commission, to such manner of action and to such conditions as tothcse legislators might seem prop- er. "Orig session more is still a. possi- bility, but even if it should be held. the time between the close of such session and the general election would be so short that no opportun- ity would be given to test out furth- er changes in legislation before the pmplcs verdict would be given. . . If the record of legislation is found to be atlsfactory, _ , and improvement cannot now avail. Upon the present record of its legis- lation must the Government and the twenty-four representatives be tried and adiadged. ' A Pyrrhlc‘ Victory. The Bulletin bewalls the result. from a prohibition standpoint. of the plebiscite taken on July is. 1020. The votes‘ cast for prohibition in the provincial election of 1021 amounted to 19,500. Two years later, after the "real test" of Prohibition promised by the leader cf the Liberal party had been given. the number of voles cast for Prohibition amounted to 11,411, or a loos to Prohibition of 0,110 votes" within the two years. "Well may the friends of Prohibition declare. with Pyrrhua, after the 'vletcry' of the plebiscite. ‘Another each victory will ruin Prohibition.‘ Choeaing the Jackass. _'!'he bulletin thus defends its sup- port of the Saunders adnilnbtrl- stun. the Prime walnut Isle wa- diminish nine unanimous-lieu Winiiniao election of 1911:.

"Again, says the Bul- letin, "their requests were denied. The position was taken that, the ei- ‘Llberai victory, and not a victory for Prohibition. Liberal therefore should be made, and. not Prohibition appointments. In ‘the very midst of the campaign, when temperance workers. some of them even the Premier's opponents in pol- itics. were straining every nerve save Prohibition, the Premier hlni-: self, false to .his promises even while, making them, had been promising otherwise what he would do when it‘ came to appointing the members of the Prohibition Commission." Prostituting the Alliance. ‘The Bulletin charges that "GTEIIi moi-tings of the Temperance Alliance were not free from political inter-i ference. Partisans were sent to its‘ meetings who went so far as to In- troduce resolutions of a grossly par- tisan character. and sought by poll- tlcal speeches to inflame party feel- ing. Their purpose was only too well achieved. The Alliance itself became openly heralded by the Premier as backing and supporting the Govern- ment. Could the hope of Prohibition survive in such an atmosphere?" . . "So far as saving Liberal Prohib- itioi-ilsts from themselves was con- cerned, the Alliance had no use for Conservatives. They were using wrong methods. "Can you not do better by concillctlng the Govern- ment and working with them, rather than against them? Where else can we look for anything? Look what the Conservatives would do to Prohibi- tion lf they could." With such specious reasoning they were content to deceive themselves. and to drug their consciences. The drug has been only too potent. Prohibition Itself has been asleep. "C811 any music wand now awake it to life. or is it too late? If Pro- hibition ls dead, it has been interred by the Temperance Alliance and Broteatant clergy of the province. and its _aoul has been bartered for political expediency and ease of spir- it. Apathy of Alliance. At its general meeting held after the election on the ldth of Septem- ber 1017. the Alliance had not only requested a special session, but had specially recomme ‘ -' c. number of amendments to the Prohibition Act. These included an extension of the right of search. It also asked that the maximum monthly number of doctors‘ certificateebe reduced. One of its principal demands was that a special instructor be appointed to give instruction in the public schools appointments . to! BEH IND. i _THE SCENES.

The Temperance Alliance and its Executive Committee has met on numerous occasions since then, but the fact that the request was made seems to have been forgotten or ig- nored. . . Are we left to believe the Premier's oft repeated boast that the Government and the Temperance Alliance are one, and that the Al- liance therefore concurs in and‘ ap- proves of the Government's refusal? The Alliance had asked that the right of search should be extended. In the legislation as drawn up by the Government and submitted to the Alliance this right was actually being lessened. An open letter to the Alliance was published. calling ct- tention to some of the things about to be done. "then only did the Al- liance or the Government bcstlr themselves to try to correct the mis- takes being made." Other examples are given: ' ‘ Prison Term a Lien on Property. “One of the sagaclous methods of ‘preventing the subsequent sale of ‘liquor on rented premises after the‘ tenant had been convicted, was to have the penalty for any subsequent offence made a lien or charge upon the property of the landlord. Under the Prohibition Act the penalty for such subsequent offence could only be imprisonment of the offender. and not a fine or money payment. The unique spectacle was thus proposed to be presented to the public of see- ing a term of imprisonment made a lien upon land. The attention of the Alliance was directed to the ridicu- lous nonsense in time to have it el- lminated. Missing Word Puzzle. ‘The Government did succeed iii gettirm some of its curiosities em- balmed in the statute book. Section 140,. for instance. of the Prohibition Act is declared to be amended by inserting certain words after the word "Act" in the 22nd line of Sec- tion 140. The 22nd line of section 140 reads as follows: "Answering any such questions upon the ground that any." The member of the Gov- ernment or of the Alliance who can succeed in locating the word “Act" in this line so as to find a place for the amendment may well qualify as successor to the Government‘: miss- ing $1400 sleuth. The dove sent out, of the ark could find no rest for the sole of her foot. but it could return to the ark. ‘The Premiers amend- ment is without either resting place or ark. The importance to Prohibi- tion of this particular amendment may be judged from the fact that, although two sessions of the Legis- lature have since passed. the rnis. take has not yet been discovered. Premium for Drinking. "OM vylio buys liquor for strictly medicinal use under a doctor's cer- tificate." says the Bulletin. "is per. mltted under the Act to keep the liquor in his possession until used asp medicine. But if the purchaser should use the liquor as a beverage he became, under the Act, liable to pay a fine of a500, unaximuml. The purchase of liquor from the bootleg- ger who drank the liquor became. under Mr. Saunders‘ legislation of i003, liable to a fine of only teoo, (maximum. Under this strange piece of legislation. therefore. the regarding the effect of alcohol. These naattere were stressed and urged upon the Government in 0c- casmnner of liquor lor beverage par- ernment liquor." Since then, that is, since April lath, 192a. if a. purchaser of bootleg liquor drinks it. his fine need only be s10; (ten dollars minimum and thirty dollars maximum). Thus by drinking the llquorfin- stead of leaving it in its container. the offender against The Prohibition Act, as amended by the Saundere Government, saves $100 on the min- imum fine. or $470 on the maxim- um; the fine for mere possession without drinking being $200 to 0000. and the fine for drinking $10 to I10. Enormous Liquor ‘QVIHIIS- The Government's method of ii- quor selling is thus dealt with: “Does the Premier mean to claim that the Sl2ll,30‘l.5z worth of liquor sold by the Government last year waeIsedItbAdIIfllRI-fl" "strictly medicinal purposes and not as a beverage?" If he does not. 110W many prosecutions can he point to as having been brought in respect of 1h; lllegalor bcverage consumption o1‘ that great quantity of liquor? “This sum of $128,000, at say p4 a bottle, would represent 32,000 pur- chases. 1f the question were asked, ivhiit proportion of such purchases was used as a beverage, the answers would vary. Some have claimed cs high as 99 per cent. A too modest estimate might place the proportion at. 50 per cent. On that basis the number of purchases of Government liquor which was used as a beverage would be 10.000. How many of those 16.000 violators were prosecuted by the Government's vigilant Commis- sion or its l8 vigilant inspectors? Not one! Why were they not pro- ‘ secuted. one may ask. The answer is easy. The Government itself was making its profits upon those 18.000 or more violations." exploiting the Ballot. The legislation enacted in the ses- sion of i929 regarding the holding of the Plcbiscite. says the Bulletin. imposed a condition that no vote should be cast for Prohibition. un- less the voter also declared his ap- proval of the Premier's Prohibition amendments. The form of the ques- tion regarding Prohibition which the Preinlers mucli-talked-of Platform of i927 had announced would be placed upon the ballot was: "Are you in favour of retaining The Prohib- ition Act?“ An affirmative answer to that simple question was not suf- ficient to Mr. Saunders. Tlic solemn obligation of his political platform was no restraint. ‘The question was changed to make it read:-"Are you in favour of The Prohibition Act AS Now 73g LAW in this Province?" “The only reason for the change was the Premier's desire that an a11- proval be given to hi! Prohibit-ll!" Amendments of 1028 and 1920 in every ballot cast for Prohibition. . " “All previous to the election the holding of a Plebiscite was a condi- tion imposed at the time his Prohib- ition platform was adopted by the Premier. so now at the Plebisciie lt- Ive enactment he had passed since the election vrss made a condition precedent before any Wto mlllit be marked for Prohibition. "Under the dead weight of such an ticle in "the Temperance Dulletin. "the wonder is, not that Prohibition received so few votes, but that it re- eelvedao many.
