TWO VIEWS ON THE LIQUOR QUESTION v says Mr. Rowe ! THE PROFIT THE PEOPLE says Mi. Hepburn FOR three years the liquor problem has been out of control in Ontario. Mr. Hepburn, worried by the rising tide of public indignation, now tacitly admits the fact. In acknowledgment of the situation, he makes another typical last-minute, pre-election promise. But Ontario voters are not going to be fooled again. z "Revenue First"—Hepburn “Profit” has been Mr. Hepburn’s liquor policy ever since he took office. Here are his own words as quoted in the Border Cities Star, Windsor, October 26, 1934:- “Another thing that the Province requires is revenue. I am informed that since Mr. Odette took , office, he has turned over to the Treasury $2,800,000. Let these people point out some other source of revenue. Do they want higher gasoline or cor­ poration tax? Do they want a Provincial Income Tax? It is obvious that if we lose the revenue from the Liquor,-Control Board, we will have to get it elsewhere.” The Conservative Party takes the position that public revenue should not be gained at the expense of decency. "People First"—Rowe Contrast this/‘liquor for profit” policy with Mr. Rowe’s clean-cut stand in the interest of the people. Mr. Rowe has pledged himself: “I will return’ to a policy of control by a responsible board, free from political patronage. A survey will be made by the new board of all licensed hotels. I promise you that these mushroom dives which have sprung up and flourished under Hepburn will be closed— and stay closed.” No More Mushroom Dives When Mr. Rowe is elected, beverage rooms will be confined to standard hotels which respect the law and give adequate service to the public. Restaurants, taxi offices, rooming houses and hot dog stands will not, by means of a few “jerry-built” changes in construction, be able to qualify as standard hotels. Beverage rooms will not be forced on communities where they are not wanted. Nor will such places flour­ ish in the shadow of the churches of the Province. Non-Political Control Under Conservative administration, by means of a responsible non-political control body, beverage rooms will be so regulated that they will cease to be a blot on the social and moral life of Ontario. A vote for the Conservative candidate is a vote for this policy of control. you Can trust ROWE$ Ml 'T i
