no of the liveliest and most im- yant debates of the Session arose 1- Legislature yesterday morn- ’ hen the llouse went into Com- , e on second reading of n bill V’ led "An Act to provide for a ‘i endllm by Ballot." The Conserv- contention, urged throughout debate, that the bill be more def- as to the nature, oi therefor- I- -- to be held. was crystallised the leader of the Opposition in suggestion that the complete U lation be drafted and presented < e people so that it could be ilu- ented by Order-ln-Council inr- icly after the referendum. s, auggeetlcn was turned down by a Government and the bill carried original form. »~- ‘W. M. Lea. Minister of Ag- ure, sponsored the bill in com- -. , the chairman being Mr. 1-for- Wright. ‘ ' g debate ‘centred _ around clause i of the bill, which read as fol-

llt the next General Election in __Prcvince a vote by ballot lbo taken to ascertain the l- of the people in respect to ’ questions set forth in such ot."

N. ma. STEWART: Mr. Chair- my hon. friend the promoter of bill displays s. great deal more g his boasted ‘ ‘y in connec- with this legislation; he shows . icerlce amounting almost to urnity, something that he very ly exhibits. l-le seems to be at for words in which to give customary explanation that pro- rs give in introducing a bill in -- itteo. 1 may-say that this see- cleuse is ‘the finest example oii -word puzzle that 1 have ever - do the statutes. Does he know ' precedent for this, so far as ting is concerned?

HON. MR- LEA: We are dealing with provincial matters.

HON. MR. STEWART: A General Election does not necessarily mean a Provincial Election.

HON. MR. LEA: We will amend it to read "Provincial General Bloc- tion?‘

HON. MR. BWWART: The clause provides that “a vote by ballot shall be taken to ascertain thewishes cl the people fin respect to the ques- tions act forth in such ballot." I sub- mit, Min-Chairman, that that is meaningless. You are simply travel- ling in a circle.

HON. MB. LEA: It is a little broad.

‘mo Indefinite. .-

HON. MR. STEWART: I would say that it is a great/deal boo indet- inlte. l: have never seen a istsblte providing for a particular referend- um without setting forth referendum ia"'e'.bout. my hon. friends were very explicit when thw set out the Prohibition‘ farmhouse they had a great deal of discussion among themselves as to what the wording should be. and they were meticu- lous as to every word. 1 commend that attitude. In this case, however, we have no hint in tile statute of what the subject matter of the ref- u-endum will be. If this were a gen- eral Act providing for referendum in any case where the Government might see fit; there would be some sense in it. But here you _are provid- ing for e particular referendum; you do not tell us what it is. and you are asking this l-lousc to pass on it. It seems to me that the question should be put down. st least the gist of it. Nobody earl tell, from this statute. It might be any subject with which this Legislature has a right m deal: any department of the public serv- ics. If my hon. friend the promoter will refer to the statute of llll and to the recommendations of the lidu- cational commission with regard to taxation. he will see that this is an exactly parallel case. I am not dis- cussing now the merits oi the two provisions. but they are both pro- viding for additional taxation. The Act passed in 1010 contained all the legislation contemplated. and it was provided that it should not so into force until s referendum was taken. The nsgislatura than knew exactly what they were-snectinr. and the people knew whet they were voting on.
