These spe-" cial taxes have been collected for the post six | odd years and have netted over half a million dol- lors altogether. Only one-tenth of this amount, ho-vever—some fifty thousand dollars--has beeny r spent on public health (tuberculosis treatment‘;i the rest has gone, illegitimately, into general? revenue. l Strong exception has been taken by the Tuberculosis League to the Government's act- ion in this respect, and rightly so.

The pre-l to one ounce Per week? amble to the Act reads: "Whereas it is deemedl - t advisable to raise a revenue for the purpose all defraying additional expenditure incurred in the provincial health services and particularly in providing facilities for combating tubei-culosis: therefore be it enactedl" etc. Still more specifically, Section 8 of the Act reads: "The tax shall be collected, accounted lo. and paid to the Minister by such persons, at such times and in such manner as the regula- tions may prescribe." The Minister referred to is not the Provincial Treasurer—as would begthe case in collection of qrdinary revenue-but the Minister of Public Health. lt was obviously in _ tcrded that the fund should be kept separate‘ and apart. This has not been done, and the Gov-= moment has stubbornly refused to rectify its improper course. The public accounts show that this healtn tax has been paid to the Provincial Treasurer, applied to ordinary revenue, and spent u the exigencies of government or op- por'uni.y demanded. ln thus violating the will of the Legislature the Government has followed, an absolutely indefensible course. lt has forgot- ten apparently, that the first duty of any ad- minIstration, as of the humblest citizen, is to obey the law.

A few days later The Guardian reported that a resolution enrbody- lr.g Senator HOWlHFFS pmposal was introduced in the House try Hon. Mr. Sullivan. and caused “the most. lively discussion of the ses- sion." Mr. Sullivan argued that. the annual interest of the money required would be no more than the yearly expense of keeping up the fen-y. He spoke of the great advantage it would prove to Bel- fast and the communities east of the river. . ' Ilon. Mr. Yeo, leader of the Op- position, said the House had not. sufficient. information to come to air intelligent conclusion on so im- portant a. matter. The proposed subway would not do away with the need of ferry steamers. In many respects a bridge would be preferable. - I-lon. Mr. Ferguson thought a sub- way much preferable to a bridge, a: the latter would need constant repairing, and must have a draw in lt, to allow vessels to pass through. Mr. Sutherland asked where were the reports of the engineers respect- lng the relative cost of a bridge ae compared with a tunnel. Mr. Bell maintained that tf the company was so anxious to try this thing as an experiment. in order to promote the larger scheme of a subway at the Capes. let them build the Hillsborouflll subway and run it and take the tolls, and the Governmemot. would grant a liberal subsidy. Thai would be more reasonable than to ask tne Government to assume the on- tlre cost. Hon. Mr. Gordon urged the Government to "go slowly in the matter."

As Jesus commanded, we must. well to our iveapoirs. Paul advises "Put on tlre ivlrole armor r.f God. . . .take the sword at tlro spirit" for in that sword 1r all the "power of Almighty God. "The gates of hell shall not prevail against. l"'. and the spirit of God empow- ‘cr: those who have faith and are in deadly earnest. The enemies of goodnes are a great multitude and startlingly powerful. I shall name only two and these are not the most danger- rus that Christian people have to contend against. A new power has arisen in the world within the last few years, the enemy of all righteousness, vlz., Communism, more dangerous than Naztlsm ever was. Nazllsm ‘was crude and brut- al. Communism ls not only brutal. 1i Ls insinuating and ln some respects attractive. Unrest, dis- order, and poverty are its meal and drink. It spells the annibl'a- t.'uri of true religion and if not stopped by some means or other it will some day rule the world. ll the true disciples of Jesus throughout the world were united in one purpose. they could, by the grace of God. stem this evil thing. In fact, it is perhaps true, that except. for the Church's failure. Communism would never have ap- pcared. But there ts another evil nearer home. It ts not the worst either. but lt is one that is destroying this Canada of ours from coast tr. coast and here in Prince Ed- ward Island tt ls doing n gres. deal of mischief. The liquor trai- flc since National Prohibition was repealed and Government Control brought ln has increasingly flood- ed thLs country with liquor with consequent increase of drunken- ness, social diseases, crime, accl- dents, many of them fatal, and broken homes. The damage done l5 beyond calculation. The great. wars havenot given to Canada so much distress and lass and ln the last. few years here tn this Prov- ilrce the enemy has been allowed lo make shameful inroads. Some years ago, and about two enacted, Mr. S. A. merchant, said to me. "For lire past year I have not seen a drunk- Cl’ man tn this store". ' and on Friday Nov. ‘ltti. ln and around the Market Building I saw seven drunken people. How many there were all over the City lt would be iiard to say. Since the “Cullen Amendment" came lnto effect conditions have become very much worse. It would be much more diffi- cult to enforce Prohibition today than it was tn its first yvcars. Irloral conditions, ln general. have degenerated. and money ls more plentiful, but nrore than anything else, the liquor interests are do- ‘ng their best to smash Prohibi- tron. The "Cullen Amendment" has pretty well done this already. but the enemy wants to compieif) the job_ and bring in Government Control, with cocktail lounges, beer parlors and all" the graceful facilities for inf-reused drinking. If the churches would combine and make war upon the traffic. a the nligbt lose their barns as has happened here tn tlrls_ Province already, but that would be a small matter compared to the fruits of victory over this great evil. If P. I. Island should go dry the result would be an eye-opener to all Canada. Let. us _not blame the Government for mangltirg the law or neglecting to enforce it. They do not see the evil booze is i “Oink. 'I‘helr_eyes are upon the revenue. Let us put the blame where ft belongs. The responslbla- ity for the sed conditions as they are rests mainly upon the church.
