The Real Truth About the Prohibition Act The People's Prohibition Movement of Britith Giliunbia /f/6 The Real Truth About the Prohibition Act By the British North America Act practically the whole held of legislative power In Canada was assigned to the Dominion and Provincial Parliaments. By Sections 91 and 92 these powers were (except as to agriculture and Immigration) diatribuled between the Provinces and the Dominion, and a definite line o( demarkatlon between the Federal and Provincial powers was Intended to be pegged out. In practice, however. It has been found 'hat some powers overlap. In resard to the liquor traffic the line of division Is marked somewhat as follows:— Shop, saloon, tavern, auctioneer and other licenses for the raising of Provincial and Municipal revenue; property and civil rights within the Province; and all matters of a merely local and private nature are assigned to the Province, 'ihe rcguUitlon of trade and commerce, and all matters not specifically assigned to the Legislatures of the Provinces are withla the powers of the Federal Parliament. Up till 1902 many promment Judges and lawyers in the Dominion of Canada were of the opinion that the prohibition of the liquor traffic wa.s wholly within the field of Dominion legisla- tion. In that year. In a decision In the case of the Attorney Gen- eral of Manitoba versus the Manitoba License Holders' Associa- tion It was declared by the Privy Council that the Manitoba Liquor Act of 1900. being the prohibitory liquor act known a- the Hugh John Macdonald Act, was within the legislative powers of the Province. This Act contained the following provision, copied in the British Columbia Prohibition Act as 57 (1); — "While this Act Is Intended to prohibit and shall pro- hibit transactions In liquor which take place wholly within the Province of British Columbia, except as specially pro- vided by this Act, and to restrict the consumption of liquor within the limits of the Province of British Columbia, It shall not affect and is not intended to affect bona-fide transactions in liquor between a person In the Province of British Columbia and a person in another Province or in a foreign country, and the provisions of this Act shall be construed accordingly." Thl» Hectlon Is Intended to make It clear that the Provincial Ai't docii not Invade the Held of leglHlatlon a>isltined to the Uom- nlim I arllainent In ItB power to rcKiilate trade and commerce. It l» probabl)- not neceuaary. but lent »ome Innenloun lawyer should twist some clause of the Art so that It appear, to Invade this field the section is put In In order to declare hat notwith- slandlnK any Inept phrase, the Act shall not be considered as trcnchlnK upon the Federal powers In this respect. .Vo careful draftsman of a Provincial Prohll.lllon Act. with the Prlv, Council decision before hlin. would think of oinltllnn this section Sec- tion .^7 (21 of our Act adds nothluK. The di-tflsman apparently added It Intending greater dcllnlteness. The division bet-veen the fields of Provincial and Dominion leglBlatlon |j, reuard to breweries and dlwllllcrles Is not quite so clear it Is generall.v conceded that the licensing and regulation of these ore within the powers of the Dominion, and large excise ri'Venue Is derived therefrom. When the province of Ontario atlcnipted to levy an additional tax upon these Institutions the brewers and innltaters ^t once took the matter to the courts The orlBlnal .Macdonnld Act caretiillv avoided dealing with brew- eries and distilleries licensed liy the C.ovcrnment of Canada Sections IS, 1!)

These are Ihe sections dealing with breweries anc' distilleries, and In these sections the draftsman of our Act haa wisely and fairly kept within the limits so clearly marl,™'"?

T,...i principle waa affirmed In nritish Columbia in the case of Prudhomme va the Licence Commls- s oners and the case of the Point Grey Hotels. The prin- ciple Is expressly stated m the British Columbia Licence Act when It is declared that: "Licences are granted subject alvvays to the Intended exercise of further and other restrictions and regulations than those contained and set forth" In that Act "or to suppresBlon or prohibition and to other Increased fees as the cua majr b«.

The province has no doubt the power to prohibit: (a) The traffic In intoxicating liquor; (b) The uae thereof, and (c) (Except in ao far aa it would conflict with the Federal powers in regard to trade and commerce and breweries and distilleries) the possession of Intoxicating liquors. As regards the subheadlnga (b) and (c), the use and posses- slon of Intoxicating liquors, our Act practically does not attempt to legislate. Why? Simply because this would be in advance of public opinion. No attempt, in the main, has been made to auppreas the use or possession of liquors In Kansas, Maine DakoU, Washington, Oregon, .Manitoba, AlberU, Saskatchewan' or any other province. In all these places a man may still decrease his efficiency or commit slow suicide by the use of intoxicating liquors and the Inw does not interfere. With regard to the traffic in intoxicating liquors. Section 10 of the Act, read along with the other sections, abolishes the liquor bar and counter In the hotel, saloon, Phop and club. The traffic In Intoxicating liquor within British Columbia for bever- age purposes Is prohibited Those engaged In the liquor business are fighting furiously to tefeat the Act and retain a great and (to them) profltable business. That such prohibition will pro- hibit Is shown by the experiences of other States and Provinces. What, then, of the cry of "class legislation?" This cry is based upon the reading of Section 11 and possibly 12, tlong with Section 3 of the Act, which seem to prohibit the poaseasion of liquor In "ny room or pUci> of rnMfnce hbm- in a private dw.-ll IIOM in M,iilt„b» and AllwrU The Inienilon of ih.' draft.man •nd to ( ve u llttlt chance aa |m, ,\Me for "blind iilga' and Dooiieiwin*.

One division Is adopted from the n. C. Summary Convictions Act; 16 divisions are Identical or almost Identical with corresponding sections in the B, C. Licence Act; 3 are to the same effect aa correspondlna sections in the B. C. Licence Act; one section Is adopted froin the Washington Act; 12 divisions are not copied from anv act w th which the writer Is familiar. Of these. 7 are either practic- ally unimportant or are concerned with book-keeping and the Ilka The 5 Important divisions wlilcb are not copied are Sections 28, 29 (1), 29 (2), 40 (2) and 44. A glance at these sections reTeais the fact that Section 28 provides the most severe punish- ments tor the illegal sale of liquor to be found In any State or Province witn whose act the writer is familiar. Sections 29 (1). 29 (2) and 44 deal with the duties of constables in enforcing the Act. Section 40 (2) Is not wholly original but will be found to he a most useful section In certain cases. HISTORY OF THE DRAFTING AND RESULTS. At the convention In August, 1915, and at all conventions for the first six months the slogan of Prohibitionists was "The Alberta Act." This was regarded as the model act. When the Government decided upon prohibition, the Premier express- ed his Intention to follow the Manitoba Act. Now, the main difference between the Manitoba Act and the Alberta Act is that In Alberta there are Government vendors, while in Mani- toba such of the trafflc as remains is placed in the hands of the druggists, wholesale and retail. When it was known that the Manitoba provisions were likely to be adopted, the drug- gists of .Ms Province raised a furore, and the Alberta pro- visions for Government vendors had to be adopted. This made it almost necessary that the first nine sections of our Act should be much the same as the Alberta Act. Having set the foundation of the draftsmanship in the Alberta Act, it became easier to complete the superstructure of Sections 10 to 27 upon the Alberta plan. When it came to the Question of evidence, procedure and penalties for infractions, it was found that the provisions In neither the Manitoba nor the Alberta Acts were at all equal to or as good as the very excellent provisions -contained in the present B. C. Licence Act, so that Sections 31 to 39 (I) inclusive and Sections 43 to 65 inclusive are copied almost verbatim from the B. C. Liquor Licence Act. It thus comes that we have the Alberta Act In the main, with Improvements in many particulars. Roughly speaking the first 9 sections of our Act are similar to the Alberta Act, but much more clearly drafted. Sections 10 to 27 are Identical or very similar to the corresponding Sections in Alberta and Manitoba, the changes, if any, being to our advantage. On the question of penalties and enforcement, our Act is easily superior. In fact, we have the best Act that has been brought to the writer's attention, either In Canada or tlie United States, an Act which the liquor people dread to tee put upon the Statute book*. Are there no defects? Yes— but few. Probably no act is much more faultless. The writer would regard It as a defect that the record of all sales Is not open to inspection by the public. Section 16 was not approved of by our Committee but was copied from the Alberta Section. Section 29 was not exactly to our liking, as we feared that it did away with the right of private prosecution and taken with other sections might not give the right to a private person to obtain a search warrant. When we have made these comments upon the defects we have exhausted the category, and if they really "l ^° J'l defects, which la very doubtful, they can be amend- ed, and being matters of procedure, •bould. In all fairness b- amended when the principle has been approved by the electors' SPECIAL MERITS. The special merits of the Act are these: ..u ***. ',iJ°,"?''S 'esislaUon that has been tried and approved either in British Columbia or the other provinces. (b) The changes are mostly In the direction of greater clearness and better drafting. , .1 '°^ . J°„ matters of procedure and evidence it largely follows the B. C. Liquor Licence Act, which is the best of its Itind. (d) The penalty for Illegal sale is very severe, and should put a stop to Illegal sales In the Province (see Sec. 28). »_ '!.' ,?etting aside of the convictions on purely technical Jgrounds by appeal or certiorari are imposstble (see Sections 63 and 54.) (f) Constables must do their duty (Section 44). PROVISIONS. Some fault is found with the Act because It is not all through a prohibition Act. These critics seem to think that every section should commence with "Thou shalt not" As noted in the heading above dealing with "Scope of the Act," the Act does not deal with the use or possession of liquor to any appreciable extent. When we come to the traffic, the Act takes the traffic out of the hands of all but Government vendors and druggists and puts a stop to the traffic of liquor intended as a beverage. In taking the traffic out of the hands of the present licensees, and giving it to Government vendors and druggists, provision had to be made for the sale of liquor for mechanical, scientific, medical, dental, \eterinary and sacra- mental purposes. Stringent provisions were made that the liquor sold by vendors and druggists should be used tor these purposes only. It would be wearisome to go through the pro- ylslons in detail. They are mostly contained in Sections 7 and 14 of our Act. Nothing but crooks and a combination of crooks could evade the provisions that liquor In this Province shall be sold only for the purposes above enumerated. Such crooks or combination of crooks will be deterred by the severe penal- ties and the sections on evidence, procedure and anneal that are found in this excellent Act. OUR OPPONENTS' CRITICISM. Many Prohibitionists pay altogether too great attention to the paid advertisements and literature of the liquor dealers. Since When did these people qualify themselves to become the moral leaders of the community and the only truthful inter- preters of the law? The leading Prohibitionists are well satis- fled with the Act. The liquor dealers are furious because of Its provisions. The ordinary citizen ought to be able to draw his own conclusions. Their printed statements are frenzied They dare not meet our men upon the public platform. Ther anert that the Act will not prohibit the aale of liquor, but will Increaae the sale and uie. If the Saskatchewan Act, with ^ Oovemment dispensaries decreases the use to 16 per cent, of the former figure; if the Alberta, Manitoba and Washington Acts practically wipe out the sale and use, then ours will do better than any of these, because it Is a better act with severer penalties. Their interprotatlon of the sections of the Act such as when they assert that an office block with a physi- cian's office In It or a bawdy house, will each become a dwelling house to any lawyer reading the Act Is ilculous. They measure others' corn in their own half bushel, ■ d paint the wild scramble for Oovemment lobs selling whiskey. ^erhaps thinking of the characteristics of the people they h e best known, they paint vendors, druggists and physicians as a band of conspirators trying to evade the provisions of the new Act and distribute whiskey wholesale, everywhere and by the barrel. They use such adjectives in describing the Act as absurd and humbug. They Imagine that the police force and all prohibitionists will at once embark on a campaign of espionage and blackmail. They rave at the sections copied from the present British Columbia Licence Act and call them "un-Brltish" and "unfair," forgetting that if they defeat the Prohibition Act at the poll, these very sections will remain in force as they have been In force for some years. Knowing full well that if ^ they could get the framers of the Act to Invade the field of * Dominion Legislation, they might have portions of the Act declared ultra vires by the Court, they made the utmost en- deavors to do this in the r.«glslature, and now with a wild r1 hope of fooling the electors up to September the 14th, they cover o'lr bill boards by printing a part of Section 57 and refer- ring to Sections 18, 19 and 20, knowing full well that their adver- tisements are dishonest and that these sections are simply drafted In our Act to preserve Its safety and not Invade the Federal Held of legislation and thus avoid having the Act de- clared In any particular unconstitutional. REMEMBER Prohibitionist leaders are doing all they possibly can to have this Act adopted. If you believe the liquor advertisements these same Prohibitionists, In doing so, have to be regarded as knaves or fools. You do not believe this. Tf our Act Is a humbug and absurd legislation, then also (and more so) are the acts of Alberta, Manitoba and Washing- ton, Now you do not believe that the electors of Alberta were "gold bricked;" you know that It Is not so. If we should lose at the polls it will he solely owing to the fact that our good citizens and church people read Tulk's advertisements and not the Act Itself. We have had experience with children brought up under ^ the liquor licence system; let us bring up the next generation under Prohibition. Our next campaign will be for Federal Dominion-wide Pro- hibition.
