Dominion parliamehtf The galleries were
crowded, and e\ cry member was in his
seat. It was evident that this bill was re-
corded as the most important measure, In
Its enact upon Ihl' political parties of Can-
uda, that has 0\ er been brought In the Do
Ininlon house of commons.
On presenting the bill Mr Dickey, min-
later a! justlrc. made an oxhhustlvo speech
descriptlvo or the general lines on which
the hill is drawn. ilo stated that it was
modeled, as lar as possible, on the lines of
the old legislation in Manitoba. It was
found impossible, he said. to restore to the
Roman Catholic minority in Manitoba

were entitled under the consltutlou with.

leotlon of schoolhooks. ctb. The minister
then said that he would reserve for some
other occasion the discussion of thc princi-
ples of the hill.
Mr. McCarthy said: “Perhaps the hon-
orable gentleman will toll the house about
the financial aspect of the measure."
Mr. Dickey replied: “The financial use

who become adherents to this school sys-
tem, or rather who do not dissent from
this school system, are allowed to tax
themselves for the separate schools in their
districts, and they are exempted from tax-
ation for the public. schools of tho prov-
ince 0! Manitoba. The municipality is
enjoined by the bill to collect the munici-
pality taxos over the whole of tho Roman
Catholic property in the municipality and
to distribute it for tho support of schools.
“The subject of a legislative grant was
one of very gravo diillculty, and the coir
slltutlonalty of the provisions relating to
that. will, I have no doubt, be the subject
of discussion In the house."
In answer to an inquiry by Mr. Laurlcr,
the presenter of the bill stated that the
hoards of education for the separate schools
was to be appointed by the lieutenant gov-
crnor in council at Manitoba, and that In
case of three months’ default in making
any appointment the governor general in
