Some Brief Notes on the Canada Temperance Act This series of articles, which will tummy in your paper from week to wetk, are spon- sored by the Temperance Poderatton and W. C. T. U. of Enron County. Their purpose is to give a brief history of the origin, scope and possibility of enforcement of the Canada Temperance Act from the time of its inception up to the present. No. 8—THE NEED OF A COUN- TY LOCAL OPTION LAW • During the 11937 provincial ,election Rev. Mr. Bremner, while attending a Hepburn meeting at Kincardine, sent up to the platform a note asking what the Premier intended to do with the Canada • Temperance Act. Mr. Hepburn speaking ,from the plat- form, replied that he would if request- ed by those concerned submit the question of the validity of the Canada Temperance Act to the -Supreme Court of Canada, 0 In accord with this promise, the ire - 'quest that he do so was forwarded to the government from the temperance Executive of each of the three coun- ties. The Matter was also brought •to his attention by the 'Ontario Temper - ante Federation and Ile expressed his willingness to do so. Delay has, 'how- ever, intervened and the promise has nOit yet been imllemented. A note from the Attorney -General's Depart- ment to The .10ntario Temperance Federation during •the recent summer. has advised them that a •submission is being prepared and it it ex'pected that it will go forward this fall. Quite apart from the legal intrica- CleA of the jurisdiction of the 'WO Ernv- ernments on this matter, the loss that the destruction of the Canada Temp- erance Act would involve to democra- tic procedure and progressive social reform would he serioes indeed, So long as there is adequate law and vi- gorous enforcement of the same, it is not of great moment to the citizens ,generally whether it is under provin- cial or Federal jurisdiction. What is of paramount importance is that gov- ernment should recognize that the li- quor traffic is a social evil of great magnitude and wide ramifications; that it is deeply entrenched and •that legislation in the interests of the well- being oF oar citizens should facilitate the reasonable advance of the devel- oping public opinion against such an enemy of society. With the ,develop- ment of modern transportation, mu- nicipal local option must prove inade- quate to properly protect thy areas. It is possible for one municipality, sometimes a ,comparatively insignifi- cant one, to establish in its 'borders what is ,essentially a nuisance and a danger, not merely to itself but to a wide area of adjoining territory. In these circumstances some such county ,law is reasonable, wholly de. sirable and necesSary. The Canada Temperan ce Act, applicable to ,coun- ties is such a law; and until the ,prov- ince provides a like measure on an equally democratic basis, the Canada •Temperance At ,sbould he maintain- ed. To attack it while offering no fair and adequate substitute is simply .to •'become the tool, of the ,consciencelese liquor interests which RD far as it dared would resist and overthrow any law that restricts its juggernatitic progress.
