FINALITY -OR "RUN AROUND"
(Stratford Beacon4Herald)
The Ontario Temperance 'Federa-
tion is given credit for the decision -
announced on Monday night by At-
torney -General Conant -that the val-
idity and application of the Canada
Temperance Act twill be argued 'be-
fore the Ontario Court of 'Appeals ia
May. With more truth than poetry,
'the Hon, Mr. ,Conant remarked that:
"This question has 'been kicked abort
for long time-reeteeewantefilealit.v...ou
it." 'Perth, Huron .arucl fPeel counties
are directly concerned in the promis-
ed "finality7,efor the "kicking around"
has been done in these municipalities.
A,Vhett the Supreme Court of Cant -a.
in 19315, ruled that the Canada Temp-
erance Act tame into effect in the
three counties named, superseding the
leee restrictive Ontario Liquor Con.
trol Act, 'finality- was believed to have
been reached. But the Hepburn Gov-
ernment ,used a test ease decision by
a county court judge in Peel county
to prevent the 'judgment of the Sep-
reme Court from being followed out.
As a second move against the op-
eration of .the Canada Temperance
Act, Mr. Hepburn's a drain is test ion
in ‘119,36, appealed the Supreme Came
decision to the Privy Council -4m'
withdrew the appeal 'before it .could
he heard. Thereafter, and partioularle
during the.191317 general election cam-
paign. Preniler Hepburn fell back on
the Teel county ;judge's precedent ta
justify...his refusal to obey- the Sun-
reme Court's finding. The matter b --
came an election issee. 'but political
leanings proved stronger than temp-
erance sentiment, and the 'Oriterie
government suffered• not at all --
except possibly in 'Peel, which .de-
fe.ated Duncan 'Marshall, then Minis-
ter of Agriculture.
Now Mr. !Hepburn has apparently
agreed to' 'have the Ontario Court of
Appeals give its opinion as to the
status of the Canada Temperance Att
in the counties of 'Perth, Huron and
Peel. The understanding of this 'ref-
erence is that if the Ontario court ele-
cides that the IC. T.A. holds priority
in the counties mentioned the On-
tario Liquor Control act will cease to
have jurisdiction.
But will strch a eldeisicen eettle this
contentious question 'finally? Or will
the, decision be appealed before a
higher court? .Mr. ,Heob,urn did that
before -what assurance is there that
he will not do so agein? die has
given none.
he opinion is expressed by Perth
nd Huron temperance rivorkers that
the Ontario Court of Appeals will
rule 'in favor of the C. T. A., but that
the (provincial governments will carry
the matter fortherthat is, to the
Supreme 'Court .of. Canasja. for final
disposition. -Does that mean the anie
old 'resn. around," with the Hepburn
government again' refusing to accept
the Supreme .0o,urt's firtding if that
be favorable to the C.1C.A.". and against
the - Ontario 'Liettor ',COntrol Act?
Time alonewill tell. '
