5th Alberta Legislature

The Legislature officially resumed on February 2, 1922, and continued until the sixth session was prorogued on May 22, 1926 and dissolved on May 25, 1926, prior to the 1926 Alberta general election.

[2] The Legislature would pass An Act to Confer Certain Powers upon the Canadian Wheat Board (Bill 1) during the short second session in August 1922.

[4] In the words of University of Calgary professor David C. Jones, the bill offered "solace, but no real satisfaction".

[6] Even so, Greenfield had called the situation his top priority, and his failure to bring it to a successful resolution cost him politically.

Bill 14 would be subject to a free vote in the legislature, and while the legislation passed, the new measures were divisive, pitting community leaders who wanted their towns to remain "dry" against those who wanted to apply for liquor licences, and different would-be saloon-keepers against one another in competing for the government-issued licences.
