The Premier said that, under the

Mr. Wrights Attitude

Mr. Horace Wright said he be- lieved the amendment had been “long over-due." HQ could speak with some authority because he happened to be a member of the committee appointed by the Saund- ers Government which, 1n con- junction with the temperance people, prepared the bill which formerly passed in this Legislature. The main purpose of the commit- tee which prepared that bill was to curtail the consumption of in- toxicating liquor. Certain penalties were imposed on those buying liquor. In the case of a. man en- gaged in selling liquor, the fine was made fairly heavy. In the case of a man who drank it the fine was made much lighter. “That was the intention of the Legislature because I am quite sure that our sympathies go entirely to the man‘ who drinks" (Laughter). “Al- though we impose a penalty it should not by any means be as heavy as that imposed on the man who sells." When the present Act was proposed, however, the main difficulty in the minds of- the coin- _mlttee was to distinguish. in the case of a. man with a. bottle of liquor in his possession, whether he had it for sale or for consumption. Later developments have shown that the measure adopted had a tendency to hinder the enforce- ment cf the Act, and to cause an increased consumption of liquor. “It seems a ridiculous situation that we have a. law on the statute books which encourages a man to drink, and to got drunk, bufthat has been the unfortunate situ- ation."

"There is a feeling in some quarters," Mr. Wright continued. "that the Prohibition Act is not bcingenforced as it. should be. I think that ever since the Prohib- ition Act was enacted there has been that feeling. With every gov- ernment and Prohibition Commis- sion there has been some criticism made that the law has not been enforced properly. I think that is quite reasonable. I think we all agree that a. liquor law of any kind is a. veiy difficult law to ell- foroc. I do not claim that the Pro- hibition Act is any more difficult to enforce than Government Con- trol legislation, because we know from the experience of other prov- inces that they have just as much difficulty. In regard to the com- plaints. I am inclined to think that when a. Liberal Government? is in power, possibly, the complaints are a. little greater. For what reas- on? I think it is because a. Liberal Government saved this Province from Government Sale and the Liberal party has been looked up- on as being friends of Prohibition. Therefore when the Liberals are in power there is a tendency to look for better enforcmeiit.

“I tllink that, the change made in the Prohibition Act at the last special session of the legislature in the matter of taking authority out of the hands of the Prohibition Commission and placing it, in the hands of the Attorney General, was a. good thing. and that we have a better chalice of haying the law enforced. Knowing the Attorney General as I think I know him, I have every confidence that till‘. Prohibition Law will be enforced by this government as well as. iii not better than. it has evcr been enforced in the past."

gobrlniy In Chlrlofloiown I

Mr. slwille indorsed the amend- inent and said he was strongly op- posed to any attempt to introduce Government Control. “Ill our own county of Kings,” he said, “we have never had anything but Pro- hibition." He believed the enforce- ment was much better under tile Attorney General than it had pre- vicusly ben under the Prohibition Commission. l-fe scored the fol-mel- Temperance Alliance for attempt- ing "to arrogate to themselves the right to run this country" after tile election of the Saunders Govern- ment in 1927.

He, m1 Seville, had not, seen “s single drunken than all this week in Charlottetown", and he wished to oongratulaiethe two Charlotte- town representatives "on the so- briety of this fair city."

‘GENERAL JAIL DELIVERY?

Mr. Linklettcr said there seemed be a great change of heart on pert of the Legislature. and it would now appear that "s. very temperate Plohibitlc Act is about tn into force.“ Would it not bofilflible, he asked, to add an- other clause. ing this section retroactive? were very many lfiflhil under conviction and serv- ing terms in tlls county jails, of

for taking a. drink of booze is too much, in ']ustice to those people who are suffering this extreme penalty. wily not. make a. general jail delivery. It would lessen the expense of keeping them there." Premier Campbell: "If I were asked for a. judicial interpretation of the amendment I would be in- clined tr; say offhand that it a1- reaidy meets the request of the member from Lot Sixteen. I would say, for instance, that any person who has been convicted of a first offence may even now apply to the Magistrate who convicted him. for an order of this kind. It certainly would not apply to a. person who has fulfilled his sentence, but the person who is now in prison under such a conviction could be placed on the same basis by making ap- plication for ticket of leave. The Executive Council would be justi- fied in dealing with such cases. and. putting a. prisoner who is al- ready serving sentence on the same basis as if his sentence had not yet commenced. The members request is very reasonable, but I think it can be met without mak- ing the Act specifically retroactive.

"Delugcd" By Constituents

Mr. MacKay said he was "in sympathy and accord with the amendment. He had confidence that the Attorney General would do his duty in enforcing the Act. Ho had been deluged by his coli- stituelits to use ills influence to have the law better enforced. "It is true," he added, “it is not on- forced as it might be. but are not all laws of God and man broken?" He was proud of his own long as- sociation with the prohibition movement.

Section 2 of the bill amends sec. 96" of the Act by adding the follow- ing words:

"2. Section 96 of the said Act as amended by section 3 of the Act 22 George V.. Chapter 3, is hereby further amended by adding after the word "lespectively" at the end of the said amending section the words following: or before tho Stlpendiary Magistrate for the county within which the offence is alleged to have been committed, notwithstanding anything in this Act ‘or in nily statute of the Prov- ince contained relating L; the ex- clusive jurisdiction of tho Stip- cndiary Magistrates of said city or town."
