A good porportion of the electors

last Friday evening to organize for
the approaching .0.,'T. A. Plebiscite.
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..

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.
