MR. ‘SNU-NJJERJS asked now were they being taxed‘! MR. J. H. McDONA-LD said in Provincial grants of $500 to lh-e or- phanages, and indirectly in other ways. MR.

There realizing on a be observed very closely to determine whether not it should be changed to in the hands of commendalble one and would re-I ceive lllS learty support. ' HON. 1) _ IlIoMlLLA-N again ex- plained that he was not the "fath- er" of the bill, which had been placed in his, hands by a joint com-l mittee of the Provincial Social Ser- vice council and Charlottetown Children's Aid Society. Tile cases covered by the act have increased with the establishment of nlnterni- ty departments in the hospitals, as every doctor knew. There was no intention of penalizing these pea- ple, lbut simply of making adequate provision for the unfortunate chil~ dren. lPubllcation of facts in order to secure the working of the act in the case of estates has been tak- en exception to, -but the same ex- ception might be taken to tllle law respecting vital statistics. Every doctor is required to register on post cards sent to the Department particulars regarding the birth of every child. He must slate on the card whether the birth isle-glti- mato or illegitimate. ‘ii-e was sul‘ prised that throughout most of tile discussion there has not been any- thing snld about the rights of the child, who is the most concerned of all parties. We have just as mucll right to legislate for the child ill this case as for any other citizen. lt is proposed to provide for the child's maintenance by the parties responsible for bringing it illto the world. Tile act specifically stu- tes that the child lbo nlalntalned under the same conditions as ‘if borll in wedlock. it has been llint- ed lllat the lbill is aimed against farm lands. but it is known that these cases are most prevalent ill the city, in cases where thcro is no properly involved. But if a mull has property, why should the act make special provision for hint‘? lle should be responsible just the some as the wonking man is repon sible. The act holds the father and mother laqually responsible. If olh- er Provinces and parts of United States have legislated in the mat- ter, why should not we legislate here? "ll have no more obj-act in putting through this bill "than any other nienlil-er. but I think you will agree with ma when i say that the trend of present events makes it a very necessary act to put through." ‘HON. MURDOCK KENNEDY did not agree with the promoter. The courts have been dealing with these cases to the full extant of the law. lbEGll-SIlATUlRiE, ldRllDAY MOR- NilNG: Discussion in committee was continued and a number of the clauses previously hold over were taken up and passed.

A, McDONA-Lll believed this provision might work a greal injury. Two men canllot be the la ther of one child, yet provision lrl to lbe made for péllllllllllg two or more people. That is certainly do- ing injustice to one or more of them, ' MR. DENNIS thoroughly agreed with lion, ‘ no, McDonald. The thing was ridiculous. KMR. J. A. MCDONALD said cas- es had arisen wlrere the evidence showed that two or lnore men might IIJQ equally guilty. Tile lwl was intended to fix the blnnlc squ- ally upon them. MR, Slt-UNDERS said that this comes up almost invariably under the existing law. SOlTlCilHlOS the girl ile-rself is unalble to llell-rlninc who the father of the child is. Someone must take the responsi- bility, and it could not he more ‘eq uitltbly arranged than by nluking all concerned responsible. MR. DENNIS: Does the legal fra- ternity admit the possibility of more than one llliliil-r to ll cillld? lMR, J. A. McDOlNAdD: That is llow what the bill says. MR. DENNIS: “l know. but W8 are trying to get down to common sense just_ now. The Provincial Guardian and all these people ale to round up a bunch of men fronl some school district and have thenl brought up on a charge of being the joint fathers of one child. Well. well. well!" The clause carried. MR. W. C. S, ‘llicllllltll asked if provision was to be made for the right of appeal. Otherwise it would hardly be fair. ' mnlEu-lnn STEWART agreed with IMr. McLure. Such a provision might be added to the bill in a sep- arate clause before finishing the second reading. MR. MdlJIIiRcE asked the ml-ture of lilo appointment that wollid be required to make provision for a Provincial Guardian. to whom "I689 cases would be referred, HON. DR MoMllllllAN said the superintendent of neglected and de- pendent children at the present time is Mr. Henry Smith. He offic- latos now in parts of the province that have no Children's Aid Roclc tv functioning. As both duties lie close together i-t was elwgoated that Mr, Smith would be the plop- or person to sct as Provincial MR. lSHAW MoMhLLAN asked would like to see in connection regarding the salary of this offic wilh this clause a. maximum am- 111 ouul. stated, beyond which no man said Mr. could be taxed. it would disarm to act without some criticism that has bead lev- eled at the bill in the House and would do away with the fooling that a man might have to pay so ffallCll as 810.000 as has been stat- e ." HON. A. F. ARSENAULT did not think the amount payable should be limited, as the circum- stances of the father might vary and the judge should be allowed discretion in apportioning the sum to his uvhility to ‘pay. IilON. J. A. McDONlAJD said the measure of damages could not be settled in proportion to the ability to pay. at all. That was not equity. HON. J. A. "MclDONAlLD agreed. Why should a rich man b9 forced to pay a great deal more for the same offence as a poor man. The mother, as a rule, has the custody of the child, and the mother's po- oltlon should ‘be the consideration. A maximum amount should ho m:- ed. The choice should be given the man. also of paying a lump sum iil- ' stead of a certain amount "every month during sixteen years. Sull- section B provided that in the ov- ont of the child's death tho pay- ments revert to the Province. llo could not soo the object of thi; pro- _. vision. or the right of the Provlll~ ce to receive the money. ._ ‘HREMIER BTEWlABT said this was probably framed on filo pfln. ciple that an illegitimate child has g heirs. by law. and his ostnte goeo to the Crown, This clause could be remedied.
