Saskatchewan s historic legislative session closed on thursday. June 24, having lasted just two Days Short of seven weeks. The passing Oil Legisla Tion abolishing every bar and club licence in Saskatchewan and trans Ferring the remainder of the liquor Trade in the province to hands was watched with keen interest by the whole Dominion. Naturally the Temperance Bills overshadowed All other legislation.

Altogether there is a prodigious selves. I compared with recent previous occasions the registration promises i 10 lie Light. The reasons for this Are fairly obvious. For a variety of reasons the number of absentees is unusually Large and although the Law makes due provision for the re a Gist ration of absentees by relatives or business associates a consider Able proportion of those who Are not Here to attend to the matter themselves will be overlooked and the in names thus left off the lists. I there is this time less organized political activity in inducing people to Register. This is a Good thing. There has been altogether too much organized political activity in this City during the last few years. The Lite government made it its Busi Ness to spend Money like water in us attempt to Roll up a big registration and of necessity this obliged the opposition to bring into the Field As Large and effective an Organiza Tion As was possible to look after the Liberal interests. This time the parties have contented themselves with opening offices for supplying information. It. Is As far As it. Is desirable that these activities go. The result is that the lists will lie smaller and cleaner. There has always bean a considerable amount defeat of of fraudulent registration in Winni the North Lus to the political activities of hotels clubs and agencies of that imps. Fraudulent registration this time will be attended with so Many Ricks i Liat very lilt a of it will be Lone. Inlo effect some two weeks later with certain generous reservations permitting the completion of con tracts already entered into. Germany s submarine Campaign against British merchantmen began about the first of the year. There were a number of cases during january. Some two or three British ships were lost in that month in the Channel with All their hands under circumstances which suggested that they Hud been torpedoed without by German submarines. On february 4th Germany announced her submarine blockade of great. Amount of matter packed into the Book. It is sold at sixty cents. Along the same line is professor Chester ii Artin s lecture on i versus prerogative a sketch of by it i Isle democracy in the current Nuin Ber of tie quarterly journal of North Dakota University.

The Sale of farm implements Bill itself would have made the session a notable one. It was this Bill which Guve Rise to the passing of a. Dower Law. Consolidations of the company school insurance and municipal legislation took place involving Many improve ments. Machinery was passed pro Viii in for the substitution of the present supreme court of. The pro Vince into a court of King s Bench and a court Appeal. The session was further notable for some pronouncements of far reach ins effect Premier Scott. Perhaps the chief of these schools. I. Scott practically gave notice that the next big project which his government would handle would be the abolition of the Small school Dos ills and their consolidation into much larger administrative areas simultaneously or. Scott stated his conviction that attention would have to be paid in. Future to the study of agriculture in the Rural schools and to the professional train ing of teachers. On. The question of bilingualism or. Scott stated in the plainest terms that his government would not Tol Erate the growth of a system of Bil Ingual schools in Saskatchewan. Unemployment and immigration a further important pronouncement was made by Premier Scott in regard to the questions of unemployment and Immia ration after . Or. Scott saw no satisfactory solution of the unemployment Ciuc Stion other than a definite land settlement policy and his government invited the co operation of the Dominion and All the provincial governments in the Wor Kiru tit of a practical scheme. In Reg Ard to immigration after air. Scott carefully examined the whole situation and came to the conclusion that Canada have to look chiefly to Italy Austro Hung Ary and Russia for fresh immigrants. The Temperance legislation consisted of two acts one of which abolished All bars and club licences and makes provision for a system of Public liquor stores and dispensaries. The other act for its object to strengthen the hotel system and pro vide As far As possible for the difficult period of readjustment which will follow the closing of the bars 3ut stores cannot a established in my District beyond the number mentioned above. The people will also Jave it in their own. Hands to close the stores by Means of a resident municipal vote to be taken at the time of the municipal elections As in the Case of a vote to establish a store. Premier Scotts estimate. Premier Scott estimates that never at any time will there be from. 45 to 50 Public liquor stores in existence in Saskatchewan. And with the bars Alt closed or. Scott believes that the consumption of intoxicants in Saskatchewan will be reduced by from 60 to 75 per cent careful provision has been made for Revenue sums to be applied to such purposes and May regulate the Mode in which such funds shall be paid out and recouped provided Al ways that the use of any part of said fund for any specific purpose shall in no Way limit the right of the Council to raise separate funds for such Pur pose in any manner provided for in this act in which Case Council shall recoup said working capital or emergency Civio centres. Town planners will undoubtedly derive satisfaction from new clauses in the City act providing for the establishment of civic centres in or near which the City May decree Only certain clauses of structures shall be built. Married women Are Given by the new City act and also by an Amend ment to the town act the municipal franchise on the same terms As men. In the other municipalities women possess this right already. Hitherto married women owning property could not vote but could give their husbands permission to do so though no male elector could vote twice. Surtax modifications. Slight modifications of the surtax on vacant land were made in the Rural municipality act. It is now provided that the maximum exemption of vacant land in any Rural municipality 40 acres. Another new provision is that one half of All land held above 640 acres must be sending reinforcements against the -the1. French by a terrible shells. Entanglements they smashed the con Crete lined trenches of the and they made one of the most considerable gains since the Western allies screened their fire of High explosive levelled the Barb wire settled Down a Iliou to Trench warfare.

On june 30, 1915. These acts were in the hands of Premier Scott and Hon a a. Calder. The actual work ing out of the details of the temper Ance legislation was largely the work or. Calder and he is credited with being the busiest in Saskatchewan during and also for some weeks preceding the legislative session. the hotels. In the hotel act special provision is made to encourage the maintenance of hotels in places of less than one thousand inhabitants that is to say in where profits from a bar Trade have been in the past a Strong inducement perhaps the chief the prosecution of people who break the new Law. Each liquor store District is to have a specially designated magistrate to. Try cases of infraction and. There is to be a director of prosecutions for the province. When is Over but not earlier than december. 1910, the elec tors of the province Are to say whether or not the bars shall be re established. And in 1 Al j a provincial referendum is to be taken to say whether or riot the whole Public store system is to continue. Preferred to wait in stores. The debates on the twin liquor Bills produced some interesting statements. Premier Scott said he had been great by influx cod to introduce drastic tem Perance legislation by the fact that a considerable amount of the monies provided last Winter for the reliant of sufferers in the dried out area had been spent Over the bars. Or. Calder described the legislation As the first measure of social Reform under taken by the Scott government. Everyone knew said or. Calder Why the banners wives and children had had to wait in stores or loiter about the streets instead of going to the hotel while the Farmers did their business in the towns villages. Hon. George Bell provincial treasurer described the bar As a scientific method of Selling the maximum Quan Tity of Loci for Hon. Goo. Minister of municipal said the bar had a Slimy Trail leading up to it and a Slimy Trail leading away from it. Far read hmm changes Are made by an respecting the Sale of farm machinery though to carry out the desired legislation it was necessary also to Amend three other acts. In the future All contracts for the Sale of farm machinery in Saskatchewan will have to be made upon a statutory form and it will have to be stated in writing precisely what the machine in question Wilf do. Many catch phrases which in practise operated against the Farmers Are now prohibited. Dower Law passed. The common practice of embodying the contract a mortgage on the purchaser s land is illegal. If a Armer desires to mortgage his land to i. Machinery company this must be done on an entirely separate form. A. Important provision is that the Farmer cannot mortgage his land As Security for farm machinery until he has had the machinery in question in his Possession for six months. In All cases where the is Moi tugged for this or for any other purpose the wife s signature to the deed is required. The Home or Homestead has a wide significance Means not Only the Ilio acres upon which the Home stands but it applies cultivated to avoid the surtax. This makes the surtax More than Ever a wild lands tax. Legislation was passed providing for the substitution of the present supreme court of Saskatchewan by a court of King s Bench a court of Appeal. The court of King s Bench is to consist a chief Justice and five other judges and the court of Appeal of a chief Justice and three other judges. The chief Justice of the court of Appeal is to be the chief Justice of Saskatchewan. But it is provided that the present chef Justice of the supreme court chief Justice Haultain shall in any Case remain chief Justice of Saskatchewan As Long As he remains upon the Bench.

Bowling Alley Trade or of some other specified business to encourage him either to establish or to maintain his hotel. Careful provision has been made to prevent this monopoly Fea Ture from becoming abused. It is believed that the Public is Well protected. Feared political machine. Over the creation of a liquor dispensary system to take the place of the existing wholesale liquor stores the chief controversy arose. While the Temperance party in Saskatchewan accepted or. Scott s proposals As a satisfactory Compromise the conservative opposition in the legis lature showed great apprehension lest the Liguor store system to be created should become a big political machine. The commission sent by the Scott government to South Carolina to study the working of a government dispensary system there Niph sized the danger politics creeping into such a system. The Ili Cott government has had this danger in mind and claims to have taken reasonable precautions to keep the Public la Miuor store system Independent of politics. One import ant provision is that the whole sys tem is to be one Man who will do All the purchasing and make All appointments.1 j. F. Ex-m.p., who. Has been appointed to this position will be responsible not to the government but to the legislature. The provincial auditor who is also responsible to the legis lature is to subject the store sys tem to a thorough accounting. of dispensaries. For desolate there Rolls an a.

Canadians Are making a record j in the european War. Their bravery feats Are enough to make us. Feel proud of Neigeib or and of. The american atmosphere which is inspiring their deeds. Also to any City town or Village Home. The new Law also makes it compulsory upon the farm implement companies to keep parts their machinery at some place in Saskatchewan. This place must be stated in the contract. Tax sales provided for. A considerable portion of the ses Sion was occupied by municipal legis lation. This consisted of a Consoli Dation of the City act and of Amend ments to the Touti act the Village act arid the Rural municipalities act and also a new act respecting the col Lection of arrears of taxes. Under the latter act Saskatchewan has now instituted a system of tax sales in City town Village arid Rural municipalities similar to that which now exists in Manitoba. Under the old system lands on which Maine unpaid became forfeited to the municipality. This however involved the municipalities in serious delay in recovering and was in other ways unsatisfactory. The new system was asked for by the municipalities and particularly by the Rural municipalities. Now sold Foi taxes lie redeemed by their own ers within two . Or in certain circumstances three years. The hew City act consists of 533 clauses and is in. Accord with the Best municipal thought of the province. Copies of the Bill As originally de Acra sent to All City officials of the province and their replies were carefully considered. While most of. The clauses Are simply a of the City act of 1908, there Are Many new provisions. One of the Moat import ant relates to police commissions which hereafter will consist o c the fudge of the District court the police magistrate and the mayor of the City. Bounsing prohibition is popular. Henceforward the Alderman who to design in a hurry will be obliged to reconsider his once his resignation is in tie hands of the City clerk it becomes effective. Another provision of interest allows the newly created local government Board to take the place of a judge of the District court in assessment appeals from the court of revision. One single clause consisting of so sections defines the Powers of a City. The old giving Tho City Power to pass bylaws for the peace order and Good government of the is retained and it is definitely provided that the specification of the various individual pow ers is not to weaken this general clause. In the past it has frequently happened that bylaws deemed to be for the peace and Good gov the City produced Liti gation. In some years ago it held by the City solicitor that under the general clause the City Council could not pass an Early Clos ing bylaw. The City act had to be changed to enable Reg Inas to Pas such a bylaw. The previously existing clause pre venting a City from to Nusug a com Mercial undertaking or a railway is continued which suggests that the clause meets with general approval. Emergency fund an entirely new clause was placed in the City act with regard to the establishment of an emergency fund. It reads As follows the Council May establish a fund for working capital or As an Emer gency fund and from time to time in chide in the estimates for the , service were to do service Lor the Empire. That generally was not done. The War office proceeded with what it bad. There remained the most vital mat Ter of of War and especially Artlery ammunition. The germans gained their great initial advantage through the use of an unheard of Quantity of artillery ammunition. From the first the shrewdest observers of tie allies prophesied that this War would be won by the Side which could manufacture the most shells in tie shortest time. France with hint Cui Iet. Busies a like efficiency which has characterized the heroine among nations in this War. Proceeded to got those shells. But France was n. Mili tary nation with the materal and social machinery for us shells right at hand. The British had to make unit and a Fum Ber. When sir John French bin of n to Send appeals from the line for Shell shells and still More shells the government. Through strikes through charges of intemperance among the workers and greed among the employers Lias been working alter its own fashion to stimulate the manufacture of big gun ammunition. Shrapnel no longer effective. By november however there arose another vital consideration concerning shells artillery ammunition for land operations is or two b and High exp Josino. The shrapnel she i consists of thin casting loaded with bullets. As the Shell reaches its Mark the casing explodes scattering the bul lets this was the Type of Shell most used in old wars. It is tremendously effective against men in the open. There is nothing like it to Stop charge. But against men Well entrenched it is of no More use than Volley of stones hand thrown Tor that purpose one needs the High exit Otic. Shell a thick casing.

In 155 of these districts Only one liquor1 store can be established. In 11 districts two stores can be established and in one District three stores. Thus the Law provides for a maximum of so liquor stores in place of the 3s hitherto run by private citizens. How Ever it must not be assumed that 80 liquor stores will Ever be established. In some of the districts there is no store at the present time and it is unlikely that the people will vote one the number of stores hitherto in existence in the lion by store districts 38, the people will themselves say by a resident Muni Cipal vote whether they want a store year and set aside from the current to try to drive for wart. Sir John French and his responsible Heads urging on Intro Hiffa explosive . After months of urging those High explosive shells failed to appear in and what became of the appeals from the line where they were Tirle tracked no one knows.
