THE t.'t,A`."s,ftv`r,n''', r,; RD, :,lin. 1 have gime over very inidlg--atarl At full length, if you plow, cubic) ever way you put, it—the legislation crone 1898 down to 1905 I am going to run over very bristly the amend- tneuts that we have oriole since cow ing into pourer in 1905, Tia first tIneg we did was licensing bartenders Licensing bartenders Itself may look a small thing, but it had a big t Rett in controlling the men in behind the bar. Then we increased the license duties, We doubled the penalties for infractions of the Act—moat impor- tant there again. We prohibited oats, vasaing for liquor in Local Option municipalities ; and in this connection I want to eery that it was a long step in making Local Option in the Pro- vince of Ontario do W'hat it was in• tended to do, (Cheers.) It is true that Local Option was on the hooka) of this Province for many years prior to our coming into power; but• if we want to find the legislation that has really made Local Option effective and has r Bally made It worth %virile, and hair made it carry out what the people intended it should entry out when it was enacted, you will find much of that legislation since 1005 enacted by. this Government. tOheere.) Then we enacted legi,lation to en• sure pet•tnanenay of L•tcal Optiou, pit+- venting people from loitering in beta rooms ; prohibiting the sale of lfgnor to persons under 21; making proem, liable for premises on which there was selling without a lisene°. No one will say that in those things e ou find evi- dence of alliance with the liquor in- termits of the Province of Ontario. If you do, then I am here to say we are prepared to accept responsibility for that alliance as proposed by this legis - laden.— We also prohibited lodging housekeepers from keeping more liquor for personal use. Provincial Inepectore were given large powers as et) et tiering accommodation, and this baa improved the conditions of the hotels in the Pt evince of Ontario. License officere were given large powere also as to seizure of liquor in transit. I want to say that in that particular thing alone we passed a batch of legislation that, has been of great benefit in enforcing the Liquor License Act, We found liquor going into districte where they had not the right to sell, where there were not licenses to sell, and going in large quantities and adareseed to people who were not in thetreade, We took the absolute right, without warrant or without order from a magistrate, to seize and follow up and trace out, if you please, the destination of that liquor and find whether it was for legal purpoaea or not. Tnen license officers were given the power of seizing liquor in transit. Brewer's were prohibited from selling in Local Option localities ; we first prohibited canvassing, then we pro- hibited brewers from selling in Local Option localities at all. We prohibit• ed the sale of liquor on 'Christmas day ; prohibited the sale of liquor to railway operators while on duty or while in uniform ; imposed heavy penalties+ for engineers and conduetore heing under the influence of liq•tor while on duty; prohibited medical men from giving preeoriptione for more than six ounces of .liquot— (,•heere and Oppoeitlop laughter); prohibited non-residents from voting on Loped Option by-laws; provided fur the reduction of ;licenses under a petition of the people; taxed bar re- ceipts on the percentage plan, Pnoaausss Evmww YEAR All of this has eontribtited to the revenue in every instance. Rithet that or it has been in reatr•aint of the liquor traffic'. It has been a further move in the direction of minimising the evils of the liquor traffic. Now, in the legislation that we have enacted, in what we have done towards the strict enforcement of the law, I want to say that the pledge given by Sir James Whitney when in Opposition has been redeemed—has been redeem- ed in a way that pledgee are seldom redeemed by any political leader. (Loud cheers.) I will say more; that not a session since 1906 has been held in this Province where we have not passed important liquor license legis- lation; and furthermore, this sessicn will be no exception to the rule. (Cheers ) So much for that. The hon. member repeated practically what Dr, Hender- son at the Liberal convention Feed ; if any part of his address has been con- sistently adopted and followed up by the gentleman who leads the Liberal party today, and those behind him, I say it was that advice given on that occasion --"Do everything in your pm wer to drive the Conservative party into the liquor camp, so far as the minds of the people are concerned." Now, what has been said in that con- nection? It has not been said, perhaps as boldly to day as it has beet said on several occasions in this House; it has not been staid as boldly to -day as on other oocasione frequently outside -of this douse ; but I do say that the time has cotyle when the Conservative party of this Province have reason to complain, and have great reason to complain of the enthusiasm. If you please, with which that particular ad vice bar been accepted and adopted by the Liberal party in this Province of Ontario to day. AN Ort, ECTIONADr.u''liat,ttvr" We have had different things hat. - pen in the Province of 'Ontario, but i is msirest—w lltrl:—t-tests 1, fi''tii'ttle in ties northtIti part of 1hits f'a•..viuce there woe circulated at a meeting a paper about which I am not sure whether it was intended as a fungi• rat notice or a ballot, but it was circu- lated at, that meeting for the sole pure poem of oarryiug out the idea of tying the Oonservati•ve party up with the liq- uor in tereste in the minds of the people of Otxtalo, It may yet turn out, to be both—it may turn out to be a funeral notice of the Liberals in this House, and the time the funeral will take place we will fix at our leisure, but it looks much like a ballot, and when you come to read it it reads something like a ballot, it is so sensible -like. Here et the top the first word 1. +•Rowell and Reform"—alliteration. Well I don't mind Rowell and reform ; if we have to have alliteration, have Rowell and reform. But when we come to the second section of the ballot I want to say that someone is responsible for having politics in a way that no one can but regret. In the second section of the ballot we have, "Whitney and Whiskey." (Orles of "shame",) All I have got to say is that'a politi- cal party in this Province who can say "Whitney and Whiskey" are the enemies of a man who in the course of his whole career in this House and in the public life of the Province of On- tario has in these matters, both in legislation and adminletration, been a model and a lesson for the future, (Loud and continued cheers,) If this were an isolated case, if this_ were the case of an over enthusiastic fellow who thought be contributed something, who went about it and made a mistake in doing this kind of thing, there would be no mention of it by me in this House, because I should not attempt to call attention to it if that were the origin of this; but I want to say that this very thing that T have on my desk at this moment has been going on in this Province of On- tario during the last two years in con- nection with this very subject—(hear, heat )—and I say it again, that it should be printed in every newspaper in this Province just as evidencing what the people will do for political advantage if they think they will not be found out. (Elear, hear and cheers ) Mr, Speaker; I have no thought of threshing away et the old straw; I have no thought of going over and ever again the grounds that have been discussed in this House ; I have no thought of presenting the arguments that we have tried on different occa- aione in the past to present; but I will say this, • and let me repeat, .that in every session, beginningin the year 1903, we have put important legislation on the books of this Province ; that on no occasion and at no time since 1906 has the administration of the Iiquor license law in this Province been slackened ; at no time in the past year have we received a complaint, coating with authority behind it, com- ing with responsible signatures to it. Betting out a condition of things that was against the policy of the Govern- ment or the Department ; at no time have we received those complaints that we have not followed them up,• investigated them and acted upon the report reoeived after as thorough an investigation as we could make. (Loud cheers ) THE PRESENT MOTION. So much for the legislation and the administration. Now as to the mb tion itself. The Hon, Member has ze- ferred to it section by section. I have followed his argument, and his argu ment was certainly interesting if not convincing, as to part of it at least— (11. The immediate abolition of the bar including therein the abo- lition of all hotel and club licenses, and therewith the treating sys- tem. He adheres to hie position that shops must not be touched. Has he, up to this moment, given us all there id to be said as to'why bars should be closed and shops are to be left open ? ilas he given us the whole story ? I followed him last year, and when he was through I failed to find a solitary reason urged by him why the shot should be in any different position than the bare. This year I followed him act closely as I could, and 1: can only say that, having heard what the Hon. Member has to say, he has not made clear, to me at least, why barb should be closed and shops left open, as it appears to me at least, when both are in the Same position. Then his resolution proceeds :— (?) Suih other restrictions up? on the residue of the liquor traffic •ae experience may show to be ne- cessary to limit its operatiou and effective to remedy its evils, That is what ? We can get rid of the bare by Provincial enactment ; we can get rid of the bars by the Act of Wits ]louse that closes all the bare in the Province of Ontario, all of -theirs, But with that what has happened the clubs? l 1stlieve the clubs are getting a little alarmed lest the lion, Member really meting them. When he brought his resolution first into the FIouse, clubs -sere free. No expiate. alien is given why he had club, free at that time, but now clubs are in. eluded, apparently. Mr, Rowell: You remember that' when I spoke at that meeting 1 said It covered elube if any. We did intro. ante' it last session to prevent further misrepresentation. Me. Hanna :rather mierepresenta. tionf .all right, Now we are going to get rid of the trait:, and we etre not going to be misrepresented (laugh lastAlasIsebsteml We eters Plug to ,lasts r'solution we will put it in our speech, MA we will not be misrepresented. but if we are permitted to write suf- ficient resolutions and to talk to them, that is enough, A, Coz.IPLICATnb PROOBESS Now, how are we going to get rid el' the bare ? Let tie get the process, Danish the bar in the Province of On- tarlo, and include all the clubs—politi- cal clubs, all kinds of clubs—we will pass .a resolution here and now, and. there won't be any more doubt about it ; there will be no more bars. But we have the shops—some 200 odd shops in Ontario. How are we going to get rid, of them ? In two or three ways, We are dealing with the resi- due; the shops are the residue, What are we going to do ? Are we going to have the Scott Act ? Well, we have banished all the bars; for the sake of a shop or two we are going to have a county Scott Act con- test ; because it may be that we can- not carry the law in a particular vil- lage, but if we take the whole county then we may get the village, because we may swamp them with thin county vote, It may be a case for Scott .Act, or it may be a case for Leeal Option, If a village or municipality ie itself strong enopgh they will get busy and go at it with Local Option, or if they can't do it when the local municipali ty is the unit, then we can widep our Local Option law and make it county- wide, There it is ; the t esidue of the trade will hp taken care of in any one of half a ds z'n ways, and t then we wilt have a nice lot of law in the Pro vince of Ontario. We will have our banish the bar for the Province, and we will have three different processes by which we can get rid of the residue of the trade, NON PARTIZAN ENFORCEMENT Then the resolution goes on :—. Local Option to be maintained as a means of wiping out the residue of the retail sale, where the electors so de- cide ; (8) The strict enforcement of the law by officials in sympathy with law enforcement and the elimination of political influence from the admin- istration of the law. The . Hon. Gentleman is going to eliminate politics; he is going to wipe that out of the administration of the Liquor L=cense Act. There will be no liquor licenses to wipe out ; there will be no bars when the Hon, gentleman gets in: I don't know exactly how he is going to do it, whether hie first act will be, if be lives long enough, to wipe out the bars, including the clubs, and then proceed with the residue and wipe out the shops, or whether he will proceed to organize his non-political commission' for this Province of On- tario—one great commi'esion, or half a dozen sort of minor commisetons, Let us see how it would work out, Can the Hon, gentlemen point to a time in the history of the party that he has. sworn by—and as far as I know has never sworn at (laughter) —although there were many times when there might be reason for it, Can the Hon. Member point to a single case where the party that he stands for, the party that be has supported, the party that during all the seven or eight years that I have reviewed from 1898 down to 1905, never looked as well to the Hon. Member as when in 1905 he made that splendid speech in one of the western constituencies, telling the boys that the sky was clear, that, everything was all right, and that there would be nothing to do when the votes were counted except to again congratulate the party that had been in power in this Pt ovince for thirty years (laughter and cheer). Can the Hon. gentleman point to• a single' instance where the Liberal party in this Pro'vinoe, or for that matter the Liberal party in the Dominion of Canada, in a matter of this kind stepped over to its opponee s and said-="I{ere, we are going to appoint Liberals and Coneervatives alike ?" We can j,tdge the future by the past, whether it be with regard to the Liberal party or the Conservative party or any other political party in this Province. Let me tell you that it the Hon. Member were in power to- day I am making no mere guess when I say that it Would not be three months uptil• you would have more politics in the administration of the L'quor Act in this Province of On- tario than there bas been in it at fatty time since Sir James Whitney became Premier. (Loud cheers.) INSPECTOR SNIDER S CASE The Hon. Member could not allow the opportunity to pass without refer- ring to the Scott Act—the Scott Act in Huron, the Scott Act in Peel, the blcott Asst in Welland, Ile ventures to say that Mr. Snider, an Inspector of the License Department, actually asked Conservatives to vote against that measure. Now, all t have to say i+ this, that if he did --and I have ab- so'utely no knowledge that he did, but I have his statement that be did not— but if he did, I want to say this, that he has done nothing snore than °Metals of the Dominion Alliance have done when they carne to advise as to whether the Scott Act should be put on itt different counties or not, and for reasons which l am prepared to discuss, and 1 say this with know- ledge from the inside and not know. ledge from the outeide—and when I say the ineide l mean inside the Do minion Altianco, Now, I only give that as a fact that cannot be gainsaid in this Rouse t and the reasons that actuated the sending out of the etatenient in connection With the Scott AC", in Huron, and in Peel and in Welland were idetttieat with the reasons that we find to -day 1 fiuential with the Alliance in this vet y cheeks ter, and go trot _vas in__ one RLruULATION Olt' ALL limns. Then the Iion, Member's reaplution goes Ora :-- Regulation and inspection of all li mete of public entertainment so as to ensure reasonable accommtes dation for the travelling public. We are doing everything we can do in connection with regulating houses of punlic entertainment, We have a law for that purpose upon the Statute Book to•day. We are following that up; we are seeing to it wherever' we can, becauae there are houses of public entertainment that we • cannot' take control of, in which we cannot insist upon certain things when they refuse to take out a license under our Act. We can do this only when they Some for licensee to accommodate the pct. blio, as they have a right to do under tbee Act as amended, even although they do not ee'1 liquor on the premises, We have made provision for such eases, and wherever they have taken. out any licensee, or put themselves under our inspection, we have been careful to keep in touch with them. • OFFi0IALs IN SYMPATHY WITH LAW. Mr. Speaker, I have nothing more to add except just to say this. Some. thing has occurred in. tbie House that has some bearing on what is happen ing in connection with the adminis- tration of the Act. The hpn. member says we must appoint men in sym. pathy with .law enforcement. • With that we agree, but the hon, member will make a great mistake, and I think this House agrees that, it would be a great mistake, to conclude that in order to get men that are in sym- pathy with law enforcement you must go into the ranks of the Dominion Alliance or any other temperance or- ganization to find them. (Cheers,) ' You will find just such men on our list ; but to say that you have got to confine yourselves to those advocat- ing what the hon. member advocates, .to those who are in accord with what he advocates—"Banish the Bar"—to say that you have to go into that camp, or have to go to those who think that way, in order to get people who are in sympathy with the admin• istration of the law ---is to say what is not so. We need scarcely go be• pond the Leader of the Opposition himself to make that very. clear, It is not long ago since we heard a stat e rnent made in this House thatin a certain constituency in the Province of Ontario we had an ideal adminis- tration of the law from the year 1906 Co 1911. Mr. Rowell—Made by me ? Hon. Mr.. Hanna—No, but . made within five feet of you, and you ap- plauded. (Laughter and cheers) The statement was that we had an ideal administration of the law from 1906 to 1911 ; and the hon. member ap- plauded : but the next statement was that from the year 1911 down to now the administration bas been simply abominable. And why? It was ac- counted for by this supporter behind him by the allegation that a man who was bookkeeper or general manager for somebody who was interested in the liquor traffics in that constituency had in the year 1911 been made presi- dent of the Conservative party, and since he became president of the Con- servative party the law has been ab- solutely neglected. Now, what are the facts; ? Is bas come out that the good administra- tion, the ideal administration, the ad- minietretion from 1906 to 1011, that so tickled and pleased the fancy of the hon. Leader of the Opposition and those behind him, had in fact been SOLACE during the time that this sante man j You will like* the rich strength and full flavor. was president of the Conservative Association in that constituency. (Cheers.) And when the facts were shown it actually turned out that the administration that was condemned, she administration that could not be tolerated in any constituency in the Province, this bad administration turned out to be under the presidency of a wan who was himself a temper. ance man in the strictest sense of the word, the proper sense pf the word. I only mention this as answering the proposition that the hon. member lays down. That is, if the man who was to be charged with the evil, and oredited with the good, there was no evil to charge under 'the administra. tion of the roan who was active in politics. Admit for the sake of argu- ment that the president is responsible for everything that happens, then you find that under the Conservative president you had everything lovely from 1906 to 1911, and the change that came did not come. There had been no change, as a mat ter of fact, but it was necessary to have something to talk about, and the hon. member took this circumstance, but got the men in wrong, and his de- ductions were wrong and his concla• stone wrong. (Laughter and cheers,)• 1 only mention it in answer to the suggestion that we can only find men in sympathy with the enforcement of the law among the teetotalers of this province. Mr. Rowell --I did not make any such statement. Hon, Mr, Hanna—Well, It gathered as much, Mr, Rowell—I did not say it. Hon, Mr. Hanna—No, you did not say it, but the deduction was, I, think the idea conveyed woe, the impreealon left was (laughter), that for your in - vectors you niust go to the teetotalers of the province. Now, Mr. Speaker, t shall not take further time in regard to this motion except to move an a- mendment, an amendment that is more in keeping with our ideal than is the other, c- , e same Interesting Curio Gone.
