After some discussion of the situation and a careful examination of the Vot- ers Listto whicha lengthy list of ad- ditional names was recommended, the following officers were elected to di- rect i-rect the campaign, Chairman, Mr. A. B. Carr; Vice Chairman, Rev, A. Tif- fin, Mr. S. A. Popplestone; Secretary, Rev. G. Telford; Treasurer, Mr. Jas.. Moody;' Council, Mrs. 'Bender, Mrs. Meehan, 1Vl,rs. A. Elliott; Mrs, J. Arm- strong, Miss E. Metcalfe, Mr, C. Fing- land, Mr. E, Bencher, Mr. J. Rogerson,. Mr. J. Smith. , , In St. Andrew's Church, Blyth, on Sunday evening a vigorous and sweep- ing indictment of conditions in. Brit- ish Coltisnbia under Government Sale of liquor was delivered by Rev. W \Ar. Peck, Secretary of the Prohibition forces in British Columbia. Beginn- ing with a recital of " the promises made by the Moderation League prior to the establishment of the present law, he showed ina convincing way that not one of these promises had been kept, hut that on the contrary, conditions today were infinitely worse than they 'could be under the most loosely enforced prohibition laws. it was promised that bootlegging would automatically cease when Government sale was established. Today it esti- mated that there are six bootleggers to one during prohibition and the il- legal sale is the despair of the Gov- ernment, The bootlegger can .under- sell the Govermnent store and his hours of sale are subject to no limit.. As a consequence disrespect for law is widespread, and increasing. The Attorney General of British Columbia, has stated that the present moderation is nowhere respected or enforced. It (vas confidently asserted that un- der Government Sale taxation would El necessarily decrease owing to the great :profits which would necessarily adcrue from the traffic, It wt's, the old fallacy that people could -drink, themselves rich and the province IS discovering the folly of it. Vancouv _ er finds that to get- one dollar profit, izel it must spend over thirteen for liquor and in spite of this ,so called ,"profit" taxation is steadily on the increase. Mr. " Peck had his own tai: paPers. for his home in Vancouver showing that on the saine • assessment a city tax of $68 for 1919 a prohibition year. had risen to $14o in x923. It was claimed moreover that prohibitionwas' attracting many undesirable'.. citizens and that under Government Sale this. would cease and a higher type of rim- migrant: come to the province. Today however, the ,papers report a large increase in crime and feature almost daily' cases of housebreaking and safe- blowing. Home life has beeminvaded, B, C. has today much the highest di- • vorce rate of any pvovince in, Canada. Immorality has greatly increased. Bus- iness -conditions are deeply affected by the enormous drain of money for liq- uor over twenty-nine millions of dol- lars from June 1921 to September 1923 and business failures have risen from 42 in 1919 a prohibition year to. 162 in 1923. fie The same pror'nises and statements made by the Moderation League in 13. a C. are being made today in Ontario Abundant proof is available that prom- ises of better conditions under Gov- eminent Sale are quite vain and illus ifs ory and even the poorest enforcement of the present O. T. A. is infinitely preferable to the deplorable conditions which are`.certain to follow Govern- ment Sale. h -fnb The 66th, Anniversat'Y of 1 ne Church, Bleevale will be observed on Sunday October sth.
