provincial inspectors and dominion revenue ofllclals and he hits not es caped penalties tor his outlawry time after time he has been in court to answer for his unlawful doings and paid lines to both the provincial and dominion treasuries since january 1k8 his operations have been followed with heavy penalties- jan 4 1923 for selling tl000 do jan 19 19z3 far selling 200 00 deo 13 1923 liquor still

llquorln acton in the hotels alone 160000 a- year and there was rarely a nne imposed for infractions of the law which everybody knows were num erous both on week days and sundays- forbes has been operating in this county for the past three years and bos perhaps sold 110000 or 16000 worth of liquor in that time under license there would have been spent in acton at least fltt0000for liquor in that time in the licensed pa alone this lasftrlal of forbes took place last thursday afternoon beforp police magistrate moore the charge was preferred by chief mopherson that phil forbes had on or

aujnmbnjl but said bis client would not be present he pleaded not guilty for him crown attorneydisk then called as witness the man to whom forbes bad taken the liquor he swore that on two succeeding days forbes had taken a bottle of liquor to him where he was working end that he paid him ir00 for each bottle forbes counsel used every endeavor to confuse the witness but toe atood arm mid unshaken in his evidence and maintained that he bod bought and paid for the liquor forbes had personally supplied on the dates nam ed- the counsel said he would put in no defense magistrate moore reviewed the pre vious convictions of the acussed show ed that gils was in the terms of the act vsecond or subsequent offence registered a conviction and imposed a penalty of tlooo and costs and sbr months fmprlsonment at hard labor and in default of the payment of the fine a further term of imprisonment of six months rooking in all is months in jell forbes counsel pleaded for a reduction of the term of

british col umbia under what is known ae gov ernment control before a large ence of culeens tn the town hall un monday evening ifivery temperance address should begin with a strong note ot cbeor he said and x come to you with a measageof hopefulness and am con fident that this good old province of ontario with its settled population and lis helpful home life will stand loyally in support ofh measure which la incalculably superior to any so- called government control the great- determining factor in the present campaign la the economic slde after xjoyd georges last visit to can ada and the united states he stated un the british house of commons thof in his opinion tbe groat gift of the war to america was the prohibition of tbe liquor traffic after a careful study of statistics showing tbe produo- tipn of workmen in the factories of great britain and of the united states it was found that under prohjbluon in the latter country seven workmen ore producing as much as ten men in great- britain the question today is what to db with the llquortraffio from social and ecopomlo standpoints the most subtle campaign is now in progress that was ever known in this country in every province in canada tho brewers and distillers atandj con demned because at their persistent continuous violation of existing wa the first province of canadatto in troduco what is known as government control was british columola thw quebec law is for the sale of wine and beer but in british columbia lb sale of oil liquors u permitted by government action it is ndt govern ment control we have however it is government sale and this is what is recognised everywhere in our pro vince we have had four years trial jaf this government measure and y will be interested in learning what our problems ore i have lived for twelve yesss in british columbia and have therefore had ample opportunity far studylng conditions under the old license system under prohibition and under government sale up to 1910 we had in british col umbia a prohibition act it was no as well enforced as your ontario tem perance act we had indiscreet doc tor issuing scripts and we had lots of bootleggers the people of our province voted for government baj but what we got in that measure la not what we expected nor what was promised by the moderation league the people of british columbia gen erally have been fully disillusioned we voted again tn june laal the resultwas the vote for prohibition ws 19000 more than that tn 1920 and the vote of the moderation league forces was 19000 leas but tho temperance vote was pot strong enough to defeat the present law the moderation leagues literature which is being distributed throughout your province today is exactly tho same as was used in our province four years ago this literature all praises the advance made tn banishing tbe bar their advertisements published the past week say it le generally agreed that a step wss taken in the right direction when the public drink ing bar was abolished i would re mind you that no moderation league was ever know to take the platform to advocate the aboiiupn of the bar the fight for the banishment of the bar was wholly waged by the people who are now so strongly opposed to gov ernment sale why is this measure called govern ment control t we dont control solo we dont control manufacture wc dont control importation we dont control boouttggera about all the government control there la is the control of the cork in the bpttle until the purchaser of liquor gets to the door of the government vendors shop where be purchased his liquor if you defeat he ontario temperancv j act you leave yourselves open to un limitedimportation of liquors for you have no law prohibiting importation in british columbia last year the gov
