THORNHILL Complete reorganization of the Liquor Control Board on a basis which will, he hopes, remove the conâ€" tentious liquor question forever from the field of party politics, was an- nounced in‘Richmond Hill last Slat- urday evening by Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn, premier of Ontario, speak- ing- at Morgan Baker's nomination meeting, as promptly effective in the event of his Government’s réturn to power on October 6. HEPBURN DECLARES LIQUOR LAW TO BE .ADNIINISTERED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMMISSION A Supreme Court Judge, as Chair- man, supported by two elected re- presentatives of the Legislature, one Liberal and one other Conservative, as Associate Commissioners, will, the Prime Minister indicated, comprise the new administrative board. They will be given “a free hand.” Edmu..d G-. Odette, present Csief Commissioner, who, Mr. Hepburn stated, “has worked himself to the point where his health has broken under the terrific strain of adminis- tering what is probably the most difficult law to administer on our under the terrific strain of adminis- tering what is probably the most difficult law to administer on our statute books today," is expected to retire immediately following the elec- tion. The Prime Minister’s announce- ment, which involves the most radi- cal and far-reaching new policy enunciated to date in the Provincial ballot battle, was made in the form of a direct, challenging proposition to Conservative Leader Rowe, who has been severely criticizing various phases of liquor administration, all for the purpose, the Prime Minister alleged, “of making beer and wine a big issue in this. fight.” The Liquor Control Act, said Mr. Hepburn in leading up to his policy pronouncement, had been placed on the statute books by the former Ferâ€" guson Government in 1927, and had! been amended in 1934 by the Henry Administration to provide for beer and wine sale in hotels and restaurâ€" ants. At a time, he said, when the Province was faced with bankruptcy, and Hydro along with it, “Henry and his gang” had gone up and down Ontario crying that beer was the only issue. InI fact, he said, some 1755(10 application forms had been sent out to restaurant owners, filled in, and returned to the Liquor Board. of that day. All of which proved, he said, that, had the Henry Govâ€" ernment been returned to power, res- taurants would have. had authorities. But, he said, the Government had been defeated, and the 17,500 appli- cation forms had mysteriously van- ished. Nothing had since been seer:I of them. Well, he said, his party on- aSsuming office, had put “Henry’s beer amendment” into effect, “in a‘ modified way,” refusing restaurant sale, and banning the advertising of liquor in any form in any Ontario periodical or press. The law, he admitted frankly, was difficult of administration. There were wet Liberals and dry Liberals, and wet Conservatives and dry Con- servatives, and only a policy 0f local optiO' could prevailâ€"a policy under which, he said, no wet municipality could force its views on a dry sec- tion, and in the same token, no dry districts could dictate to the wet' views of other areas. “Now,” he said, “Mr. Rowe is veryl critical of the way we are handling‘ the law. He is doing his level best! to make beer an issue in this cam- paign. Well, I’m not going to let' him make it an issue. I am going to put a proposition here and now‘ to Mr. Rowe. I am going to say that in order to take the question’ uuuv u. ._ -7- out of politicswwe, if elected, will' secure the slervides of a Sumemé Court Judge as Chairman of the Liquor Commission. And I will name an elected Liberal representatiVe of the Legislature to sit on the board with him, and I will ask the Leader of the Opposition in the Homeâ€"fit probably won’t L SOCIAL PROBLEM AND SHOULD NOT BE IN POLITICS â€" SUPREME COURT JUDGE AND ONE MEMBER FROM EACH PARTY TO ADMINISTER ACT "t Be Mr. Roweâ€"to se- THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9th, 1937. Iect a Conservative member also to be named a Commissioner. They Will‘ be given a free hand, and each mem- ber in his place in the House will be able to def-end the administration of the law. Mr. Rowe, he said, had been ac- cusing the Governmhnt of issuing sales authorities to “hot dog stands” and “children‘s saloons." That sorb of talk, he declared, was so ridicu- lous it fooled no one. As a matter of fact, he said, the present Gov; ernment had been the first. in deal- ing with the question of sale of spir- its to minors, to amend the law so as to make the penalty apply to the minor involved as well as to the hotelkeeper. In paying tribute to the work ac- complished during the past thred years by Mr. Odette, “a sick man,”' the Prime Minister denied emphatia cally “the loosenesxs of administra- tion” charged by Mr. Rowe. Con- ditions, he claimed, were far from! as bad as Mr. Rowe pictured. Theré were only 1,131 licensed hotels in‘ the Province this year, as compared' with 1,156 last year. and far fewer licenses now that, in 1916, despite the fact that since that time thd population of Ontario has increaseii by more than a million. “Ii. administering our liquor law," said he, “man'y- considerations have to be carefully weighed. This liquor! question is not and must never b4 3. political issue. It is a social probJ lem, with the individual point of view of paramount importance. I may sayâ€"that I am just as much inter-4 ested in the welfare of Ontario youth as Mr. Rowe. A Watson reâ€"union was held at the home of Mr. Albert Watson, Raven- shoe, on Monday, Sept, 6th, Labor VgIV‘here were fortyâ€"three attende and everyone had an enjoyable af- ternoon. Mrs. Fred Johnson acted as chair- man at the table, and Mr. Albert Watson was nominated as Honorary President, Mrs. Fred Johnson as President, and Cluda Watson. Secre- tary-Treasurer. It was suggested by all present that this be an annual affair held 01. Labor Day, and that next year we hold it at Mr. Fred Johnson’s.
