WOULD GOVERN STORE SLE Of Patent Medicine Aad Al- cobolic Extracts And Es- sences By Grocers. Toronto, May 4.--"If breweries and distilleries continue to be forced upon the ov the government and legislaturé™fright well ponsider the placing upon them of extra taxa- tion for raising provincial revenue," says the report of the Board of License Commissioners for Ontario on the operation of the Ontario Tem- perance Act for the year 1922, which report was tabled yesterday in the legislature. The meport says that the facili- ties provided by the province of Quebec for sending liguor into On- tario constitute a real grievange calling urgently for a remedy, The report is outspoken concerning the distillerfes in Ontario, says that in some few instances county judges, in hearing O.T.A. appeals, discoug- | age those who wish for law enforce- ment because of their temdency to quash convictions. The report says a complete revi- sion of the Ontario Temperance Act might be considered with a view to governing the sale of liquor and patent and proprietary medicine by druggists and 'the sale of alcoholic extracts and essences by grocers. What O.T.A. Does. The answers to questionaires sent out recently are reviewed, and Chairman Hales sums up his report thus: "It is true that there is still con- siderable illegal manufacture, sale and consumption. The consumption for beverage purposes is believed, by careful observers, not to exceed twenty per cent. of what it would under Teese, #63 the Denes" re ia the inverse ratio to the consump tion. " Those who urge that there should be greater liberty to drink liquor should not overlook the fact that liberty to drink is inevitably accom- panied by the placing of an unfair handicap upon many others, es- pecially upon women and children. "It is mot unreasonable to expect that as continued progress is made toward the elimination of the re maining illegal sale and consump- tion, there will be an increasing recognition of the fact that while prohibition admittedly interferes with liberty, at the same time it makes a great contribution to the health, happiness and prosperity of countless homes, and that this ad- vantage, from a national, point of view, far outweighs any loss of lib- erty." ------ Dispensary Profits. The overhead expenses of the dis- pensaries are kept as low as 10.86 per cent., the report says, which in- cluded express prepaid charges amounting to 2.35 per cent. The number of doctors' prescriptions during 1922 is shown to be 623,314; other orders, 83,330. The revenue {rom the license branch for the fiscal year was $530,« 242.14. The report of the govern- ment dispensaries, which is con- tained also in the board's report, shows that total sales amounted to $3,452,372. The License Board considered 443 appeals for clemency last year, and 307 were refused. The gross profit resulting from sales at dispensaries amounted to $1,152,408.09, or 43.36 per cent. The met profit was $777,506.86, or 23.18"per cent. FLIGHT OF 400 MILES business carried on by breweries and' SERIOUS SHORTAGE OF ANGLICAN CLERGY Affects the Dominion of Oan- ada as Well as England Herself. London, May 4.--The serious shortage in the clergy, not only: in England, but in the dominions was referred to by Rev. J. Mullins, se- cretary of the Colonial Continental Church Society, at the society's an- nual | meeting yesterday. He said: "Over 200 clergymen are urgently needed on the Canadian prairies and in British Columbia alone. Those out there are really heroes who work under sorely trying conditions for less than a living wage, with very little to encourage them, The Bish- op of Saskatchewan shocked many people by installing a deaconess as the pastor -of a district which other- wise would have been neglected."

There was quite an scene In the afternoon when there was a passage-at-arms between Col. J. A. Currie and Z. Mageau, Liberal rmember for Sturgeon Falls. During the Toronto member's remarks Mr. Mageau said something about "big cowards like you." Reference was made to the 1917 dominion election and Mr. Mageau declired: "I had a boy in France who wag never given a ballot. You are talking to a man who stood his ground in 1917. (Loud applause from the Liberal and government benches). Col. Currie: "I did not take re- fuge behind my son." Mr. Maguire: "I have ycu there. I offered to raise a battalion and I was refused. What I tried to do my compatriots tried to do." Col, Currie: "The rest of your compatriots are getting tired of your talk along that line." A minute later Attorney-General Raney remarked: "I think the house is getting tired of tin soldiers." Col. Currie: "The house is getting tired of brass attorneys." which indicative ould be plac- There was considerable excitement the historical monument commission will instal qrnamental posts carry- ing a large maple leaf, on which, in English and French, the historical points would be mentioned. In the event of the highways not going near the historical spot, the poet would be placed at the nearest point on the road and would signal the historic character of the point.

Ottawa, May 4.--Giving cordencg before the Commons banking and commerce committee Dr. Adam Shortt, former professor of econn- mics at Queen's University, and now attached to. the Dominion Archives, testified in regard to the history of the Canadian banking system. Prof. Shortt caused much amuse- ment by stating thet a customary part of a husiness centre in the early days of Upper Canada, now Ontario, was a "still." "For," he explained, 'nobody could raise a bam in Upper Canada without whiskey." "The convenience of a gold basis," he said in summing up his statement, "is that it automatically registers {exchange values, international as well as national. You can run irre- deemable paper money without gold, but it is very difficult and very dan- gerous where a government has to Tun it." : T Dro Shortt criticized the Bévington plan us being founded on the use of money ad capital. It would regulate the issue of money not on currency need, but on the need of loans. The pian wonld lead to inflation. He described the Irving Fisher Ireject as putting the cart before the horse. It was like .controling the temperature by putting an 10e jackat ground the thermometer. Major Douglas' scheme was '"'ab- surd," sald Dr. Shortt. But he did not care to go into details, as the time did not permit analysis. He added that in 1879 there was a similar plan to that proposed by Mr. Bevington. In 1879 it was called tha "rag baby." It involved the use of Dominion credit to assist the indus tries of the country. Nothing came of the proposal. He stated in reply to J. T. Shaw (Independent, Calgary W.) that his own plan for checking crises was to improve present industry. A wise banking system should act as a check on inflation. The fault lay with tha individual very largely, but the sys- sem could be improved by extending the powers*of the Canadian Bank- ers' Association. This would provida disciplinary control.
