£76 PARLIAMENTS OF THE DOMINIONS [PART III in Canada. Energetic propaganda in New Brunswick in 1909 met with an overwhelming defeat in the Legislature. In the case of the Provinces there prevails on the whole manhood suffrage. In the case of Quebec the suffrage for the Lower House of seventy-four members elected each, as usual everywhere in Canada, for one district is regulated by $8. 179-83 of the Revised Statutes, 1909, under which the franchise is given to male persons, being British subjects by birth or naturalization, who hold one of various qualifica- tions, viz. owners or occupants of immovable property of the value of $300 in any municipality which is entitled to return one or more members to the Assembly, and of $200 in other municipalities ; tenants paying an annual rent for immovable property of $30 or $20 in such municipalities, pro- vided the real value of the property according to the valuation rule is $300 or $200 respectively ; teachers in an institution under the control of school commissioners or trustees : retired farmers or proprietors receiving a rent in money or kind valued at $100; farmers’ sons working for at least a year on their father’s farm, if the farm is of such value as to qualify them as electors if divided between them and their father as co-proprietors in equal shares ; proprietors’ sons residing with their father or mother on similar con- ditions ; navigators and fishermen and owners of real property, boats, nets, fishing-gear and tackle, or of shares in a registered ship which together are of the actual value of at least $150; priests, rectors, vicaires, missionaries and ministers of any religious denomination; and persons who have salary or wages or revenues of $300 a year, and piece-workers who receive $300 a year.
