On the pres. ant occasion he waa In possession of the original documents, but he would make them available at the proper time. After reviewing the contents of the affidavit, Mr. Twigg said that, If the declaration were true be believed It n9 It was Improper that officials of the government could be made ue of for the purpose of obtaining party funds. If the charge were true, then Carlow was Justified In what he said "SOMEBODY (MULTir Or BOMBTHIWa." "I do not suggest that any division of money wa to be made between them," he added, "and they can not blame me for saying that such was the case.

But I do protest agalntit this policy, aa a member of the House. If it la correct, the people of British Columbia are assisting to pay Into the party funds of the Liberals." Colonel Feck, Conservative, The Is-Ifitids, seconded the resolution. "I haw too much respect for the honor of member of this House to believe 1 am too loyal to them for that to believe that anyone ha been guilty of wrongdoing. But after all, somebody Kuilty of something." Members of the government laughed "You will have your Hlg Cheese and your Ben Selfs, and that bunch, and you must take the consequences," added Colonel I'eck. are having a royal commission, and I think we had better give the Carlow case the once-over'." Dr.

MacLean, minister of finance and education, said that the House had had before it demands for enquiries Into wrongdoing on the part of official of the government, charges made on lh responsibility of member ot the House, Involving the Speaker and mlnlKterw, and now charges of tho same nature. Involving minister, Including himself. "I am taking part In a discussion of this kind for tho first time In a period of ten years in public llfe." said Iir. Mar Lean. "The only reason for my doing so Is that my name has been linked with the charges made by the third member for Victoria, and, so far hh I am concerned, 1 can not let them ro unanswered.

I regret exceedingly that forty-seven member of this llou. who have come to the age of maturity, should have wasted the time ot the Legislature and the money of the people in muckraking. I regret exceedingly also that wo have members of (he House that can resort to that sort of thing." There were many great problems to tie solved for members, he continued Thero were problem for the solution of which they were elected by the reople. It was not Intended that they should fit ln.the449B!te, day after-Car, llstornnff to such charges. "1 am a married man, with a ald the minister, "and I can not af ford to permit charges of this kind to go unanswered.

Were I a single man, I should know how to deal with them my early days I knew something of boxing, and Of tho treatment of men In lumber camps who did not know how to behave themselves, and that Is the treatment I would have given on tho present occasion." NZVBK RZAXD SUCK VBNOHOU3 CHARGES. Continuing, after applause from the government benches had died down, the minister said he had heard charges made before, but none with so much venom In them as the present ones. He was wondering whether they were having a reflex of the aesalon of 1926 in the Dominion House of Commons. There wns a war of strategy. The present leader of the Conservatives was a member of the board of strategy.

"I am wondering whether thera havi been instructions from the leader of the Conservative party at Ottawa, In connection with the present charge," continued Dr. MacLean. "I don't know If them Is any reason for suggesting that. I understand, however, that It has been denied that the fact that the l-'aulliler charge were to be mud a was not known to the member of that party, and that only three of them were aware of them. I venture to say that three members would not tako upon themselves the responsibility of nuiklng such serious charges, unless they had Instructions.

We had, In the I02S federal election campaign, well, known men, such as Nicholson and other, who carried on a campaign of slander, but not one of them 1 In Par. Ilament today, I would Ilka that remark to sink In among members on the opposite sids of the House." "The present charges are not true, they are false, and ther la not one scintilla of truth In them, so far a I am personally concerned," he went on. "Tho last part of th resolution, calling for a commission, 1 quite gratuitous, as I am going to Insist that a searching enquiry shall made, and I am going to ask that th full penalty of the House be exacted on those responsible for them." Dr. MacLean then proceeded to analyze the charges, a they relate to Mm. He recalled the 1920 election, the first general election which he went through a a member of the government.

There was a general agreement that he was In the best position, aa a member of the party, In the matter of organlilng, as he had more time to keep touch with the various Liberal organizations, and to encourage Liberalism throughout the province. could wot Arroito TO KANDLB TURDS. "I mad It very clear," said the mln. later, "that I would do that work ah-aolutely under condition that there should be no itcti thing as me handling campaign iund. I could not afford to do that.

I have lived In th country too long I believe In Liberalism, but ther are thing that I would not stoop to The House tense with attention and interest at thla statement. It wa In th year 1922, said th minister, that Carlow had hi Inter- view with him. I ri tr that he Car. low) should get a liquor agency, and tnat the commission should go towards th campaign fund and hi alary as organizer. "Mr.

Carlow mads that statement to ni. said the minister. "I told him I would have nothing to. do with It, That wa In the year 1322. From that day till this, he ha never entered my ornce, -j no Who, a few year ago, reported him as being a prominent Conservative.

He had an associate. named Captain Harhotd, who was Lib- erai president In Vancouver, and who today president of th Conservative party In victor. continuing, the minister said that he would endorse what th attorney, general had said In the (Muthler debate about Mr. Twlgg. Ho could also say things shout Carlow.

but he would content himself with saying that It would be shown that those who fathered such charge were not any ngcis or purity. Categorically nd unennlvocably Hon. Dr. MacLean denied every part of the Carlow statement that ha4 refer. enc to nnnecir.

After they had been disproved he would consider what steps he could take, civilly or politically, to deal with the "character murderers" who had made them. Hon.

T. 1). Tattullo, minister of lands, followed. He said that mem bers opposite were to furiously anxious to obtain the relne of power that tney would not stop at anything that would give them office. It was not so much personal animus against the minlHters as It was a desire to attain power.

He recalled the Beaver Club ot Vic toria which had existed during the Conservative regime ome years ago. declaring that it had controlled tho appointments and contract with tho government of the day. He had been minister of lands longer than any other minister had ever held the office, he said, and he remembered the injunction of his father, "My son, you went Into this clean. I hope you come out of It cltan." The minister went on to explain the difficulties that existed between tho federal and provlnolsl government In connection with the foreshore rlghti. of British Columbia.

It was In 1922 when these matters (Continued on Pag 4, Col. 3.) TWIGG IS CALLED A "MUCKRAKER" (Con tinned from Fag 1.) Having forced the member to assume responsibility, the Premier had then started to threaten the third member for Victoria, telling him that, "God helping him, he would sea that he did answer to that responsibility." He would agre that perhaps It was the duty of the Premier to ee that responsibility was accepted for the charges, but the Premier had another duty to perform, a duty a Prime Minister of British Columbia. It was to see that Mr. Twlgg had every opportunity of proving the allegations for which he had been forced to accept responsibility, TRIT.D TO LIMIT SCOPB OT XMQUIRY- The attitude of the Premier could, however, be translated as being that he would do everything In his power to prevent the charge being proven. The first tep that the Premier had taken In this respect had been to try tn limit the scope ot the enquiry to tha Province of British Columbia, knowing that such would be to prevent half the evidence upon which the third member for Victoria relied being produced.

Mr. Twtgg had explained to the House that he relied upon evidence that would be produced in England, Scotland and France, as well as In Eastern Canada. The Premier waa at tempting to prevent that evidence being presented to a commission of enquiry, by seeking to have It limited to the province under the Publlo En quiries Act. "If honorable members vote to con fine the enquiry to British Columbia," declared the speaker, "then It means that they are voting to prevent the most Important witnesses from giving evidence. In effect It would be say.

Ing to the third member for Victoria, 'prove your charges, but we won't let you do It. Continuing. Mr. Hinehllffe said that If the amendment to the amendment which he had moved was defeated and the amendment of the Premier carried, "tha decision of the commission would he useless and would not be accepted by the people as reflecting the real truth of the story." In opening, Mr. Manson referred to the remarks of Mr.

Hinehllffe. CUSTOMARY TO TAXIS FULL RESPONSIBILITY. "I have a great respect for the pro fession tn which the honorable member for Victoria once belonged, but I can. hot understand his mental atti tude when he says that," observed the attorney-general. "He says he Is soli, cltous for the good name of the government.

Out of respect for the pro fession which he once followed I hesitate to say thst Is not true; but I don't believe that he Is one hit solid-tons about the reputation of the members on this side of the House." Mr. Manson quoted parliamentary authorities to prove that It wss customary for members making charges to take full responsibility for them a practice which had been accepted ns a necessity for all members, in Britain, he added, members had been frequently penalized severely for mak ing unrounded charges. 'Are we not reasonable, then, In asking th member for Victoria (Mr. Twlgg) to take responsibility for hi statements?" Mr. Manson demanded.

Let us look at the fact. The record of thla House containing hi charge are Bent all over British Columbia, Into very district. A 11 once atarted can never be fully overtaken, and It 1 apparent that If his statement wer untrue, that document, the record or this House containing them ar aa highly slanderous anything? could be." Referring to th argument sa to whether or not th statement of Gauthler wer contained In an affidavit, Mr. Manson said he hoped It was an affidavit, this would entail soma responsibility upon th man who signed It. "BVBRTOMB HAD HBARD ABOUT IT." Mr.

Twlgg had told the House that he had not known of th Gauthler charge up to a few days ago, Mr. Manson proceeded. This, he said, was iiirprlalng a Mr. Twlgg was not deaf PEOPLE PIES' What to Do if You Find Your self in This Condition.
