RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1933 PREFACE

This volume is issued by the North Carolina Historical Com- mission in order to furnish in succinct form information about the State, its government and institutions, which otherwise would require much investigation in many different sources. Unless otherwise stated, the data in each case is the latest available. Similar manuals were issued by the Secretary of State in 1903, 1905, and 1907, and by the North Carolina Historical Com- mission in 1909, 1911, 1913, 1915, 1917, 1919, 1921, 1923, 1925, 1927, 1929 and 1931. The demand for these volumes has been so great that all editions except those of 1925 and 1927 have been exhausted. The cut in the 1930-1931 and 1931-1933 appropriations of the His- torical Commission as a result of the general condition of State finances has compelled a sharp reduction in the size and scope of the 1931 and 1933 editions of the Manual. The sections, "Executive Departments," "Judicial Department," "State Departments, Boards and Commissions," "State Charitable and Correctional Institu- tions," "Miscellaneous," and "Constitutions," which are found in previous editions, have been omitted.

Title—Commissioner. Appointment—Elected. Term—Four- years. Salary—$4,500. Ex Officio Member—Board of Advisers Veterans Loan Fund.

Function

The General Assembly of 1931 passed "An Act to Provide for the Establishment of a Department of Labor and to Prescribe the Powers and Duties of the Department of Labor and the Commissioner of Labor." Under Section 4 of the Act it is provided that the Department of Labor shall consist of the following officers, divisions and sections: A Commissioner of Labor: a Division of Workmen's Compensa- tion, as a separate and distinct unit: a Division of Standards and Inspections; a Division of Statistics. The Division of Standards and Inspections took over the duties, powers and jurisdiction of the old Child Welfare Commission and upon the Commissioner of Labor devolved all of the duties and powers bestowed by Ch. 120, Consolidated Statutes of North Caro- lina, upon the Commissioner of Labor and Printing and the As- sistant Commissioner, with the exception that the handling of the state printing was transferred to the newly created Department of Purchase and Contract. The Commissioner was designated as the "executive and administrative head of the Department of Labor." While the law provides for the operation of the North Carolina Industrial Commission, created under the provisions of the Work- men's Compensation Act, Ch. 120, P. L. 1929, "as a separate and distinct unit," there is authorization for cooperation between the Com- missioner of Labor and the Industrial Commission in statistical

and inspection work. (Sec. 11, Ch. 231, P. L. 1931.) Under this provision of the law it will be possible to carry out Section 8 of the act relative to the collection of statistics necessary for the proper functioning of the department. !'i New Boards and Commissions

The Department of Labor is also charged with the administration of free employment offices, in cooperation with cities and counties or with the Federal Government. The Commissioner of Labor is ex officio member of the Board of Advisers of the Veterans' Loan Fund created by Ch. 155, P. L. 1925. He is also charged with the responsibility of providing assistance to veterans of the World War in the matter of claims against the government, as set out in Ch. 288, P. L. 1925.

The Board must meet in Raleigh at least twice a year, and oftener, if called by the- Commissioner. In addition to the duties now imposed, the Board must manage and operate the State Fair and has power to make such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary for the holding and conduct- ing of said Fair, and /or lease said Fair properties so as to provide a State Fair.

Term —Chairman and three commissioners appointed for four years; three commissioners for two years. Compensation—Chairman, $6,000; commissioners, $10.00 per diem.

The State Highway work in North Carolina began in 1915 and progressed during the intervening years until it reached its climax in 1931, when, under the provisions of Chapter 145, Public Laws, 1931, all county roads in the State were taken over for maintenance and all county prisoners serving sixty days or more were placed under the management of the Highway Commission. This placed the control and responsibility for all roads in the State upon the State Highway Commission. All costs of maintenance, retirement of bonds, and provision for prisoners is taken care of by revenue from taxes on gasoline and motor vehicle licenses. Following the passage of the 1931 Act, the Highway Commission was reorganized to consist of six commissioners frm the State at large, and a chairman. A state highway engineer was appointed and the State was redivided into five divisions for administrative purposes instead of the previous nine districts for construction purposes. Each of the divisions was divided into five districts with an engineer in charge of each. At the present time there are 10,317 miles on the State Highway System and 46,524 miles on the County System, which is maintained by the State as outlined above. 38 i\k\v Boards and Commissions NORTH CAROLINA BANKING DEPARTMENT Chapter 243, P.

L. 1931

Organization —Division in the Executive Office. Personnel—A. S. Brower, Director. Appointment—By Governor. Term —During pleasure of Governor. Compensation —Fixed by Governor with approval of Advisory Bud- get Commission. Board of Award—The members of the Advisory Budget Commission serve ex officio as a Board of Award.

Function The Division of Purchase and Contract was created by the General

Assembly of 1931, and began operation on July 1, 1931. The purposes of the law are to provide for centralized purchasing or contracting of supplies for the State's Departments, Institutions and the Public Schools.

The scope of the law as set out in the opening sections is as follows: (a) To canvass all sources of supply, and to contract for the purchase of all supplies, materials and equipment required by the State Government, or any of its departments, institutions or agencies under competitive bidding in the manner hereinafter provided for. (b) To establish and enforce standard specifications which shall apply to all supplies, materials and equipment, purchased or to be purchased for the use of the State Government for any of its departments, institutions or agencies. (c) To purchase or contract for all telephone, telegraph, electric light power, postal and any and all other contractual services and needs of the State Government, or any of its departments, institutions or agencies; or in lieu of such purchase or contract to authorize any department, institution or agency to purchase or contract for any or all such services. (d) To rent or lease all grounds, buildings, offices, or other space required by any department, institution or agency of the State Government, provided, this shall not include temporary quarters for State Highway field forces or convict camps, or temporary places of storage for road materials. Division of Purchase and Contbact 11

(e) To have general supervision of all storerooms and stores operated by the State Government, or any of its departments, institutions or agencies; to provide transfer and /or exchange to or between all State departments, institutions and agencies, or to sell all supplies, materials and equipment which are surplus, obsolete or unused; and to maintain inventories of all fixed property and of all movable equipment, supplies and materials belonging to the State Government, or any of its departments, institutions or agencies. (f) To make provision for and to contract for all State printing, including all printing, binding, paper stock and supplies or materials in connection with the same. In the first place the law provides for a contracting agency rather than what is usually understood as a purchasing agency. It provides for canvassing requirements, making contracts with sources of supply, advertising, giving full details of materials required, time of delivery, etc., receiving sealed bids and entering into contracts to meet the needs of the State and the Public Schools; it makes only incidental provision for miscellaneous purchasing. Furthermore, the proceedings of the Division of Purchase and Con- tract and the Budget Commission, acting as a Board of Award, must be entirely public so that anyone interested may secure complete information about any particular transaction.

The Division began operation on .July 1, 1931. It has two forms of contracts :

1. A term contract which covers an estimated or indefinite amount of material to be delivered when, as, and if needed over a fixed period of time. There have been executed and certified to all the using agencies for their use and guidance 249 such contracts. Many of these contracts cover a long list or a large group of items. For instance, contract No. 180 covers a list of 53 items of school supplies, each of which in turn is divided up in such a manner as to make them available in various sizes, weights, etc., and contract No. 175 covers 29 items of school furniture, each sub- divided into units to represent different sizes, finishes, materials, etc. The number of items covered under this style of contract is very large. An index recently issued contains a list of approximate- force. items ly 600 items covered by contracts now in The range from absorbent gauze for hospital use to automobile trucks and 1- New Boards and Commissions school bus bodies for hauling 75 school children. When and wnere suitable this type of contract is used. 2. The second type of contract deals with a specified quantity to be delivered to a certain place and at a certain time. At each of the forty odd public lettings there have been long lists of such items purchased on the basis of sealed competitive bids. This type of contract is used for those items which do not lend themselves well to term contracts, and embraces a host of such items as fuel, most food-stuffs, textiles and such other items on which the prices fluctuate widely and often. The number of these items is very large also—the grocery list, issued quarterly, for instance, usually com- prises about 40 mimeographed pages and Highway items, textile items and other items falling in or near the commodity group swell the number to a tremendous figure and run the gamut from crawler type tractors and steam shovels to fine tooth combs and safety pins. Forty formal lettings have been held, with three or more members of the Budget Commission present at each letting. The one question most often asked concerning the Division is the extent of its savings. To answer this definitely and accurately, of course, is impossible, because no one could know what would have taken place under another system, particularly in view of the fact that prices have been undergoing an almost constant decline. A comparison of prices with those previously paid, even though much lower, may only represent normal declines in prices, but fortunately there are certain contracts and items based on differentials where no element of market decline enters, where a very fair comparison may be made, and a saving estimated which cannot be disputed. In this group of items are included a saving of $200,000 on Gas- oline, $100,000 on Tires, $50,000 on Fuel, $10,000 on School Bus Chasses, $2,000 on Chalk and $3,000 on one shipment of Paint alone. This list might be continued to cover a long list of items, but suffice it to say with very few and minor exceptions, an examination would show that prices paid have been lowered by the operation of open competitive bidding on quantities large enough to be attrac- tive, where every person, if he so chose, and if he were in a position to do so, had an equal chance with his every competitor to secure the business. Local Government Commission ±o

Purchasing in North Carolina: Early in its operation the Divis- ion adopted a policy of doing no warehousing itself, but instead requiring local distribution. This policy of the Division in almost all lines gives North Carolina distributors a decided advantage, since it is necessary for the outsiders to come into the State and establish distribution or distribute his products through some existing agency or merchant within the State. As a result of this policy practically all of our major contracts are with local people, arid though the profits that are being made on State contracts are doubtless extremely low, nevertheless, it is better that whatever profit is made should remain within the State than be exported. The Division is always anxious and glad to place a contract with a North Carolina firm, whether manufacturer or distributor, and exerts every effort to make it possible for the North Carolina residents to be placed on a fair and equal footing in meeting competition. The law does not permit more than that.

THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION Chapter 60, P. L. 1931

Personnel: A. J. Maxwell. Chairman, Baxter Durham, Vice- Chairman, Chas. M. Johnson, Ex Officio Treasurer, \V. E. Easter- ling, Director of Local Government and Secretary. J. W. Winhorne, H. E. Rufty, E. B. Horner, W. G. Gaither, K. O. Burgwin.

Function

The Executive Committee is vested with all the powers of the Commission except when the Commission is in session, but the Committee cannot over-ride any action of the Com- mission as a whole, and appeals may be made from action of the Executive Committee to the whole Commission. The Commission approves the issuance of all bonds and notes of local units of government, and sells all such bonds and notes. The Director requires semi-annual reports of sinking fund investments of local units and orders liquidation of all such investments which by law are ineligible. If it appears to the Director that funds of local units deposited in banks are not under the proper security for the protection of such deposits as prescribed by law, he shall require such security The Commission may extend the time of liquidation of ineligible sinking fund investments and may, upon approval of the State Commissioner of Banks, extend the time for banks to suffi- ciently secure deposits with proper security. The Director deter- mines whether the provisions of law for the raising and maintenance and preservation of sinking funds of local units have been observed, and requires compliance with these provisions. He also notifies, thirty days in advance, all local units of their maturing obligations and furnishes annually a statement of debt service requirements for the ensuing fiscal year. The Director approves all auditing contracts between officials of local units and certified public accountants for auditing the affairs of such units, and also approves all bills for the payment of such services rendered. The County Government Advisory Commission was abolished at the creation of the Local Government Commission and its duties are imposed upon the Director. The Director shall visit the local units of government in the State, and advise and assist the governing bodies and other officers of said units in providing a competent, economical and efficient administration; suggest approved methods for levying and collecting taxes and other revenues; suggest such changes in the organization of local units of government as will University Consolidation Commission 45 best promote the public interest, and render assistance in carrying the same into effect.

PART III

PLATFORMS AND POLITICAL PARTIES 1932

1. Democratic National Platform. 2. Republican National Platform. 3. State Democratic Platform. 4. State Republican Platform. DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PLATFORM Adopted at Chicago, June 29, 1932

In this time of unprecedented and social distress, the Democratic party declares its convictions that the chief causes of this condition were the disastrous policies pursued by our government, since the World War, of economic isolation; fostering the merger of competitive businesses into monopolies; and encouraging the indefensi- ble expansion and contraction of credit for private profit at the expense of the public. Those who were responsible for these policies have abandoned the ideals on which the war was won, and thrown away the fruits of victory, thus rejecting the greatest opportunity in history to bring peace, prosperity and happiness to our people and to the world. They have ruined our foreign trade, destroyed the values of our commodities and products, crippled our banking system, robbed millions of our people of their life savings and thrown millions more out of work, produced widespread poverty and brought the government to a state of financial distress unprecedented in times of peace. The only hope for improving present conditions, restoring employment, affording permanent relief to the people, and bringing the nation back to its former proud position of domestic happiness and of financial, industrial, agricultural and commercial leadership in the world, lies in a drastic change in economic and governmental policies. Believing that a party platform is a covenant with the people to be faithfully kept by the party when entrusted with power, and that the people are entitled to know in plain words the terms of the contract to which they are asked to subscribe, we hereby declare this to be the platform of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party solemnly promises by appropriate action to put into effect the principles, policies and reforms herein advocated, and to eradicate the policies, methods and practices herein condemned: 52 Political Platforms

Steps Advocated We advocate:

1. An immediate and drastic reduction of governmental expenditures by abolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating departments and bureaus, and eliminating extravagance, to accomplish a saving of not less than 25 per cent in the cost of federal government; and we call upon the Democratic Party in the states to make a zealous effort to achieve a proportionate result. an- 2. Maintenance of the national credit by a federal budget nually balanced on the basis of accurate estimates within revenues, raised by a system of taxation levied on the principle of ability to pay. 3. A sound currency to be preserved at all hazards; and an international monetary conference called on the invitation of our government to consider the rehabilitation of silver and related questions.

4. A competitive tariff for revenue, with a fact-finding tariff commission free from executive interference; reciprocal tariff agreements with other nations; and an international economic conference designed to restore international trade and facilitate exchange. Credit to States

5. Extension of federal credit to the states to provide unemployment relief wherever the diminishing resources of the states make of the it impossible for them to provide for the needy; expansion federal program of necessary and useful construction affected with a public interest; such as flood control and waterways, including the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes deep waterways; the spread of employment by a substantial reduction in the hours of labor, the encouragement of the shorter week by applying that principle in government service; advance planning of public works. laws. 6. Unemployment and old-age insurance, under state

7. For the restoration of agriculture, the Nation's basic indus- farm try; better financing of farm mortgages through re-organized bank agencies at low rates of interest, on an amortization prSn. giving preference to credits for the redemption of farms and homes sold under foreclosure; extension and development of the farm so cooperative movement, and effective control of crop surpluses that our farmers may have the full benefit of the domestic market; Democratic National Platfok.m 53 enactment of every constitutional measure that will aid the farmers to receive for basic farm commodities, prices in excess of cost. 8. A navy and an army adequate for national defense, based on a survey of all facts affecting the existing establishments, that the people in time of peace may not be burdened by an expenditure fast approaching a billion dollars annually.

Anti-Trust Laws

9. Strict and impartial enforcement of the anti-trust laws to prevent monopoly and unfair trade practices, and revision thereof for the better protection of labor and the small producer and distributor; the removal of government from all fields of private en- terprise, except where necessary to develop public works and natural resources in the common interest; conservation development and use of the Nation's water-power in the public interest. 10. We favor the repeal of the 18th Amendment. To effect such repeal, we demand that the Congress immediately propose a constitutional amendment to purely representative conventions in the states called to act solely on that proposal. We urge the enactment of such measures by the several states as will actually promote temperance, effectively prevent the return of the saloon and bring the liquor traffic into the open under complete supervision and control by the states. We demand that the federal government exercise its power to enable the states to effectually protect themselves against importa- tion of intoxicating liquors in violation of their laws. Pending repeal, we favor immediate modification of the Vol- stead Act to legalize the manufacture and sale of beer and other beverages of such alcoholic content as is permissible under the Constitution and to provide therefrom a proper and needed revenue.

Protect Investors

11. Protection of the investing public by requiring to be filed with the government and carried in advertisements of all offerings of foreign and domestic stocks and bonds true information as to bonuses, commissions, principal invested and interests of sellers. Regulation to the full extent of the federal power of (A) Holding companies which sell securities in interstate commerce. 54- Political Platforms

(B) Rates of utility companies operating across state lines. (C) Exchanges trading in securities and commodities. 12. Quicker methods of realizing on assets for the relief of depositors of suspended banks and a more rigid supervision of national banks for the protection of depositors and the prevention of the use of their moneys in speculation to the detriment of local credits. The severance of affiliated securities companies and the divorce of the investment banking from commercial banks; and further restriction of federal reserve banks in permitting the use of federal reserve facilities for speculative purposes. 13. The full measure of justice and generosity for all war veterans who have suffered disability or disease caused by or resulting from actual service in time of war, and for their dependents.

Foreign Policy 14. A firm foreign policy including: Peace with all the world and the settlement of international disputes by arbitration; no interference in the international affairs of other nations; the sanctity of treaties, and maintenance of good faith and of good- will in financial obligations; adherence to the World Court with the pending reservations; the Pact of Paris abolishing war as an instrument of national policy, to be made effective by provisions for consultation and conference in case of threatened violation of treaties; international agreement for reduction of armaments; and co-operation with nations of the Western Hemisphere to maintain the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine. We oppose cancellation of the debts owing to the United States by foreign nations. 15. Independence for the Philippines; ultimate statehood for Porto Rico; the employment of American citizens in the operation of the Panama Canal. 16. Simplification of legal procedure and reorganization of the judicial system to make the attainment of justice speedy, certain and at less cost.

17. Continuous publicity of political contributions and expenditures, strengthening of the corrupt practices act, and severe pen- alties for misappropriation of campaign funds. Democratic National Platform 55

Things Condemned We condemn: 1. The improper and excessive use of money in political activities. 2. Paid lobbies of special interests to influence members of Con- gress and other public servants by personal contact. 3. Action and utterances of high public officials designed to influence stock exchange prices. 4. The open and covert resistance of administrative officials to every effort made by Congressional committees to curtail the ex- travagant expenditures of the government, and to revoke improvi- dent subsidies granted to favored interests. 5. The extravagance of the Farm Board, its disastrous action which made the government a speculator in farm products, and the unsound policy of restricting agricultural production to the demands of domestic markets. 6. The usurpation of power by the State Department in assum- ing to pass upon foreign securities offered by international bankers, as a result of which billions of dollars in questionable bonds have been sold to the public upon the implied approval of the federal government. 7. The Hawley-Smoot tariff law, the prohibitive rates of which have resulted in retaliatory action by more than 40 countries, created international economic hostilities, destroyed international trade, driven our factories into foreign countries, robbed the American farmer of his foreign markets and increased his cost of production.

Conclusion : To accomplish these purposes and to recover economic liberty, we pledge the nominees of this convention and the best effort of a great party whose founder announced the doctrine which guides us now, in the hour of our country's need—"Equal rights to all. special privileges to none." REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PLATFORM (Condensed)

Adopted at Chicago, June 15, 1932

Introduction We meet in a period of widespread distress and of an economic depression that has swept the world. The emergency is second only to that of a great war. The human suffering occasioned may well exceed that of a period of actual conflict. The supremely important problem that challenges our citizens and government alike is to break the back of the depression, to restore the economic life of the nation and to bring encouragement and relief to the thousands of American families that are sorely afflicted. The people themselves, by their own courage, their own patient and resolute effort in the readjustment of their own affairs, can and will work out the cure. It is our task as a party, by leadership and a wise determination of policy, to assist that recovery. To that task, we pledge all that our party possesses in capacity, leadership, resourcefulness and ability. We have in the White House a leader—wise, courageous, patient, understanding, resourceful, ever-present at his post of duty, tireless in his efforts and unswervingly faithful to American principles and ideals. Throughout the depression unemployment has been limited by the systematic use of part time employment as a substitute for the general discharge of employes. Wage scales have not been reduced except under compelling necessity. As a result there have been fewer strikes and less social disturbance than during any similar period of hard times. Believe Distress

During the trying winters of 1930-31 and 1932 a nation-wide organization to relieve distress Avas brought into being under the leadership of the President. By the spring of 1931 the possibility of a business upturn in the United States was clearly discernible when, suddenly, a train of events was set in motion in Central Europe which moved forward with extraordinary rapidity and Kepublican National Platform 57

violence, threatening the credit structure of the world, and even- tually dealing a serious hlow to this country. The President foresaw the danger. He sought to avert it by proposing a suspension of intergovernmental debt payments for one year. But the credit machinery of the nations of Central Europe could not withstand the strain, and the forces of disintegration continued to gain momentum until in September Great Britain was forced to depart from the gold standard. This momentous event, followed by a tremendous raid on the dollar, resulted in a series of bank suspensions in this country, and the hoarding of currency on a large scale. Again the President acted. Under his leadership, the National Credit Association came into being. It mobilized banking resources, saved scores of banks from failure, helped restore confidence, and proved of inestimable value in strengthening the credit structure. In his message to Congress, the President outlined a constructive and definite program which in the main has been carried out; other portions may yet be carried out. The Railroad Credit Corporation was created. The capital of the federal land banks was increased. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation came into being, and brought protection to millions of depositors, policy-holders and others.

Raids on Dollar

Legislation was enacted enlarging the discount facilities of the Federal Reserve System, and without reducing the legal reserves of the Federal Reserve banks, releasing a billion dollars of gold, a formidable protection against raids on the dollar and a greatly enlarged basis for an expansion of credit. An earlier distribution to depositors in closed banks has been brought about through the action of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Above all the national credit has been placed in an impregnable position by provision for adequate revenue and a program of drastic curtailment of expenditures. All of these measures were designed to lay a foundation for the resumption of business and increased employment. But delay and the constant introduction and consideration of new and unsound measures has kept the country in a state of uncertainty and fear, and offset much of the good otherwise accomplished. 58 Political Platforms

The President has recently supplemented his original program. To provide for distress, to stimulate the revival of business and employment, and to improve the agricultural situation, he recommended extending the authority of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to enable it:

Hoover Program (A) To make loans to political sub-divisions of public bodies or private corporations for the purpose of starting construction of income-producing or self-liquidating projects which will at once increase employment; (B) To make loans upon security of agricultural commodities so as to insure the carrying of normal stocks of those commodities, and thus stabilize their loan value and price levels; (C) To make loans to the Federal Farm Board to enable extension of loans to farm cooperatives and loans for export of agricultural commodities to quarters unable otherwise to purchase them; (D) To loan up to $300,000,000 to such states as are unable to meet the calls made on them by their citizens for distress relief. The President's program contemplates an attack on a broad front, with far-reaching objectives, but entailing no danger to the budget. The Democratic program, on the other hand, contemplates

a heavy expenditure of public funds, a budget unbalanced on ;i large scale, with a doubtful attainment of at best a strictly limited objective. We strongly endorse the President's program.

Unemployment and Relief The relief problem is one of State and local responsibility. The work of local agencies, public and private, have been coordinated and enlarged on a nation-wide scale under the leadership of the President. Sudden and unforeseen emergencies such as the drought have been met by the Red Cross and the government. The President has urged Congress to create an emergency relief fund to be loaned temporarily to any State. The Republican party endorses this record and policy and is opposed to the Federal government entering directly into the field of private charity. Republican National Platform .".:>

Public Economy Constructive plans for financial stabilization cannot be com- pletely organized until our national, State and municipal governments not only balance their budgets, but curtail their current expenses to a level which can be steadily and economically maintained for some years to come. We urge prompt and drastic reduction of public expenditure and resistance to every appropriation not demonstrably necessary to the performance of the essential functions of government.

The Dollar The Republican party established and will continue to uphold the gold standard and will oppose any measure which will undermine the government's credit or impair the integrity of our national currency. Relief by currency inflation is unsound in principle and dishonest in results.

Banks and Banking System There is need of revising the banking laws so as to place our banking structure on a sounder basis. For the better protection of the depositing public there should be more stringent supervision and broader powers vested in the supervising authorities. One of the serious problems affecting our banking system has arisen from the practice of organizing separate corporations under and controlled by the same interests as banks, but participating in operations which the banks themselves are not permitted legally to undertake. We favor requiring reports of and subjecting to thorough and periodic examination all such affiliates until adequate information has been acquired so the problem may definitely be solved. International Conference We favor the participation by the United States in an international conference to consider matters relating (o monetary questions, including the position of silver, exchange problems, and commodity prices, and possible cooperative action concerning them.

Home Loan Discount Bank System for the Benefit of Home Owners of the United States The plank favors the creation of a system of federally-supervised home loan discount banks, designed to serve the home owners of all 60 Political Platforms

parts of the country and to encourage home ownership hy making possible long term credits for homes on more stable and more favorable terms. There has arisen in the last few years a disturbing trend away from home ownership. We believe that everything possible should be done by governmental agencies, national, state and local, to reverse this tendency. Agriculture Farm distress blamed on expansion of agricultural production during the war, deflation of 1919-20 and dislocation of markets after the war. Republican administrations have passed legislation promoting cooperatives and farm credit. Party has redeemed pledges of 192S for farm tariffs and creation of federal farm board. The farm board has increased cooperative marketing and made credit available. American farmer has received higher prices for his products than the farmer of any competing nation. Republican party also made possible loans to drought areas, provided employment by road building, developed inland water system and recapitalized federal land banks. The party pledges itself to revise tariffs to maintain parity of protection to agriculture with other industry. The time has come for reconsideration of tax systems, federal, state, and local, relieving unjust burdens. The fundamental problem of American agriculture is the control of production to such volume as will balance supply with demand.

The Tariff Because marny foreign countries have recently abandoned the gold standard, lowering costs of many commodities in terms of American currency, adequate tariff protection is today particularly essential. The tariff commission should promptly investigate individual commodities so affected by currency depreciation, and report to the President any increase in duties found necessary to equalize domestic with foreign costs of production. Policy of a flexible tariff, giving power to the President to modify rates is supported. We favor the extension of the general Republican principle of tariff protection to natural resource industries, including products Republican National Platform R1 of farms, forests, mines and oil wells with compensatory duties on the manufactured and refined products thereof.

Yeterans Increased hospital facilities have been provided, payments in compensation have more than doubled, and generous provisions made in rehabilitations, pensions and insurance. We believe that every veteran incapacitated in any degree by reason of illness or injuries attributable to service in defense of his country should be cared for and compensated, so far as compensation is possible, and that the dependents of those who lost their lives in war or whose death since the war in which service was rendered is traceable to service causes, should be provided for adequately. A careful study should be made of existing veterans legislation with a view to eliminating inequalities and injustices and effecting all possible economies. Our relations with foreign nations have been carried on by Presi- dent Hoover with consistency and firmness but with mutual understanding and peace with all nations. The party will continue to maintain its attitude of protecting our national interests and policies wherever threatened but at the same time promoting common understanding of the varying needs and aspirations of other nations and going forward in harmony with other peoples without alliances or foreign partnerships. The facilitation of world intercourse, the freeing of commerce from unnecessary impediments, the settlement of international difficulties by conciliation and the methods of law, and the elimination of war as a resort of national policy have been and will be our party program.

Friendship and Commerce We believe in and look forward to the steady enlargement of the principles of equality of treatment between nations. The American policy known as the "most favored nation principle" has been our guiding program and we believe that policy to be the only one consistent with a full development of international trade. Throughout the controversy in the Far East, the President and his .secretary of state have maintained a just balance between Japan ft-2 Political Platforms and China. Throughout the controversy our government has acted in harmony with the governments represented in the League of Na- tions, always making it clear that American policy would be determined at home but always lending a hand in the common interest of peace and order. In the application of the Kellogg pact the American government has taken the lead, following the principle that a breach of the pact or a threat of infringement thereof was a matter of international concern. We favor enactment by Congress of a measure that will authorize our government to call or participate in an international conference in case of any threat of non-fulfillment of Article 2 of the treaty of Paris (Kellogg-Briand) pact.

Latin America The policy of the administration has proved to our neighbors of Latin-America that we have no imperialistic ambitions but that we wish only to promote the welfare and common interest of the independent nations in the western hemisphere.

World Court We commend the World Court for the settlement of international disputes by the rule of law. America should join its influence.

Reduction of Armament

In the Geneva disarmament conference America is an active par- ticipant. This policy will be pursued. Maintenance of our navy on the basis of parity with any nation is a fundamental policy to which the Republican party is committed.

National Defense We support the essential principles of the national defense act as amended in 1920 and by the Air Corps act of 1926, and believe that the army of the United States has through successive reduc- tions, accomplished in the last 12 years, reached the irreducible minimum consistent with the self-reliance, self-respect and security of the country. Wages and Work For the principle of high wages, the shorter working week and work day for government and private employment. Republican National Platkokm 63

For legislation designed to stimulate, encourage and assist in home building. Immigration Restriction of immigration on basis of present laws.

Department of Labor Commend the constructive work of the United States Department of Labor. Labor Collective bargaining recognized and approved; also other laws to aid and protect labor. Employment We commend the constructive work of the United States Em- ployment Service. Freedom of Speech Freedom of speech, press and assemblage are fundamental principles to be preserved and protected.

' Public Utilities

Supervision, regulation and control of interstate public utilities in the interest of the public. We urge legislation to authorize the Federal Power Commission to regulate the charge for electric current when transmitted across state lines.

Transportation

Coordination of transportation by rail, highway, air and water, subject to appropriate and constructive regulation, so that all common carriers shall operate under conditions of equality. Restoration of railroad credit and the maintenance of their ability to render adequate service. Further development of the merchant marine under American registry and ownership.

St. Lawrence Seaway Development of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence seaway.

Alaska Widest possible territorial self government and the selection so far as possible of bona fide residents for positions. Welfare work and children: Continuation of child welfare work in all its phases.

Indians Fullest protection of property rights of and adequate educational and health facilities. Republican National Platform 65

Reorganization of Government Bureaus Reorganization of government bureaus through legislation which will give the President the required authority.

Democratic Failure The vagaries of the present Democratic House of Representatives offer characteristic and appalling proof of the existing incapacity of that party for leadership in a national crisis. Individualism running amuck has displaced party discipline and has trampled under- foot party leadership. A bewildered electorate has viewed the spectacle with profound dismay and deep misgivings. Goaded to desperation by their confessed failure, the party leaders have resorted to "pork barrel" legislation to obtain a unity of action which could not otherwise be achieved.

Party Government Only by united party action can consistent, well-planned and wholesome legislative programs be enacted. Without it, election under a party aegis becomes a false pretense. We earnestly request that Republicans throughout the Union demand that their representatives in Congress pledge themselves to the end that the insidious influence of party disintegration may not undermine the very foundations of the republic.

The Eighteenth Amendment The Republican party has always stood and stands today for obedience to and enforcement of the law as the very foundation of orderly government and civilization. There can be no national security otherwise. The duty of the President of the United States and of the officers of the law is clear. The law must be enforced as they find it enacted by the people. To these courses of action we pledge our nominees. The Republican party is and always has been the party of the Constitution. Nullification by non-observance by individuals or State action threatens the stability of government. While the constitution makers sought a high degree of perma- nence, they foresaw the need of changes and provided for them. Article V limits the proposals of amendments to two methods: (1) two-thirds of both houses of Congress may propose amendments; or

5 06 Political Platforms

(2) on application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the States a national convention shall be called by Congress to propose amendments. Thereafter ratification must be had in one of two ways: (1) by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the several states or (2) by conventions held in three-fourths of the several states. Con- gress is given power to determine the mode of ratification. Referendums without constitutional sanction cannot furnish a decisive answer. Those who propose them innocently are deluded by false hopes; those who propose them knowingly are deceiving t lie people. A nationwide controversy over the Eighteenth Amendment now distracts attention from the constructive solution of many pressing national problems. The principle of national prohibition as em- bodied in the amendment was supported and opposed by members of both great political parties. It was submitted to the states by members of Congress of different political faiths and ratified by state legislatures of different political majorities. It was not then and is now not a partisan political question. Members of the Republican party hold different opinions with respect to it and no public official or member of the party should be pledged or forced to choose between his party affiliations and his honest convictions upon this question. We do not favor a submission limited to the issue of retention or repeal. For the American nation never in its history has gone backward, and in this case the progress which has been thus far made must be preserved, while the evils must be eliminated. We, therefore, believe that the people should have an opportunity to pass upon a proposed amendment the provisions of which, while retaining in the Federal Government power to preserve the gains already made in dealing with the evils inherent in the liquor traffic, shall allow states to deal with the problem as their citizens may determine, but subject always to the power of the Federal Govern- ment to protect those states where prohibition may exist and safe- guard our citizens everywhere from the return of the saloon and attendant abuses. Such an amendment should be promptly submitted to the states by Congress, to be acted upon by state conventions called for that sole purpose in accordance with the provisions of Article V of Democratic State Platform t!7 the Constitution, and adequately safeguarded so as to be truly representative. Conclusion "The Republican party faces the future unafraid. "With courage and confidence in ultimate success, we will strive against the forces that strike at our social and economic ideals, our political institutions."

DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM Adopted at Raleigh, June 16, 1932

The platform adopted by the Democratic State Convention follows in full: The Democratic Party in North Carolina refers to its record of one hundred years of fidelity to the principle that the government is derived from the people and must ever be administered for their welfare. It was the Democratic Party that first raised the standard of manhood suffrage in this commonwealth; that when occasion demanded, established the rule of white supremacy; that set up the legalized primary and the Australian Secret Ballot system; that gave to women the full right and power of the suffrage. The Democracy of North Carolina faces the challenge of the difficult present in prideful consciousness of its record of service in the past. Suffering sorely, as the nation does under economic afflictions largely contributed to by the mistakes and misguided policies of a Republican national administration, the nation seeks and cries aloud for a way out of its distress. In such circumstances we point with pride to the hope which lies in the eternal principles to which our party has dedicated its life and effort. For the people remember the golden era of Democracy's last years of ascendancy in the nation; the people remember the political false pretenses put forward by the Republicans' high command in the years gone by; the people remember the broken promises of relief to distressed agriculture, harassed industry and jobless laborers in the nation. and so remembering, the people will punish those who have misled them in the past. The record of service in North Carolina is the surest guarantee of Democratic good faith and constructive leadership. The con- 68 Political Platforms

tribution which our party has made to the development of our social, economic and political welfare has been unparalleled. Througli Democratic sponsorship and support has come practically every advance which the last quarter of a century has witnessed—an advance which has challenged the admiration of our sister states. In the last four years, also, governmental agencies have been maintained in efficiency and honesty; the cause of education and

health has been greatly promoted and conserved ; our highways have been developed and maintained to the point of an unparalleled efficiency; the tax burden on property and people has been greatly lightened and, with all, the total public debt, including the accumulated current deficit, has been reduced by approximately $12,000,000 in spite of the Republican panic which has been upon us. The Democracy of the State in convention assembled endorses the administration of Governor O. Max Gardner and points with pride to the record of the party's achievement during the present administration and endorses that record, legislative and executive, as a fine, constructive and patriotic contribution to the welfare and upbuilding of the commonwealth.

State Policies The present State administration has met a most difficult situation with wisdom and resource worthy of the best traditions of the Democratic Party. Constructive Measures We especially commend: The taking over of the maintenance by the State of the public schools for the constitutional term of six months, and the taking over of all the public roads by the State Highway Commission. These two constructive measures have resulted in the greatest tax reduction to land and home owners ever accomplished at one time in the history of North Carolina—amounting to an average annual reduction in the property tax rate of 40c in the counties of the State, and in the gross sum of approximately $12,000,000 per annum. The centralizing of the purchasing department of the State, and the economies produced in government by the Department of Per- sonnel. The consolidation and coordination of the State's higher institutions of learning resulting in greater efficiency and economy. Democratic State Platform 69

The reorganization of the banking system of the State. These and other major achievements mark the greatest advance in the State's history in economy administration, and in reducing the total volume of taxation. They also reflect the larger unity of the commonwealth in constructive progress. They shine by con- trast with the vacillating, inadequate and dismal course pursued in the same period by the national Republican administration. It is significant that these policies have drawn national attention to North Carolina and many states are following her example.

The Party's Program With an abiding faith in the courage of the people of our commonwealth, the Democratic Party pledges itself to a continuance of a program of constructive and helpful service, and to this end we pledge: 1. An immediate revaluation of property throughout the State at its true value in money, to the end that inequality and injustice may be avoided. 2. The removal of the 15 cent property tax now levied for the support of the six-months public school term. 3. We recognize the prime importance of preserving the credit of the State, and to that end the budget must be balanced.

4. The maintenance of the public school system and our higher institutions of learning in a state of efficiency, thus guaranteeing to every boy and girl in North Carolina the opportunity "to bur- geon out all that there is within them." 5. The promotion of public health and welfare.

6. The care of the unfortunate and helpless in our humanitarian institutions.

7. A program of strict economy in every department and agency of the State government, including the discontinuance of any governmental agency which is not rendering a necessary and indis- pensable public service, or saving money for the taxpayers of the State. no taxes 8. It has always been the policy of our party to levy except for the necessary expenses of efficient government, and in this time of universal distress, we pledge every reasonable effort for the reduction of governmental expenses and the avoidance of the additional taxes. 70 Political Platforms

ft. The Democratic Party always has been responsive to the will of the people, and, in obedience thereto, has sponsored and enacted all the prohibition laws of North Carolina. Recognizing, however, the right of the people, in a legal way to amend the Constitution of the United States at their pleasure, and to vote on all questions at issue, we declare our party stands firmly for the enforcement of these laws and every provision of the Federal Constitu- tion, so long as it remains the law of the land. 10. We pledge a continuance of our policy of frank recognition of the rights of both capital and labor, and a broader distribution of employment as a means to a satisfactory and sustaining progress of industrial development, and a more wholesome industrial life in this State. We endorse the legislation along this line enacted by the last Legislature, and commend the Democratic leadership responsible for it. We pledge ourselves to the enforcement of these and other laws.

11. We face, without dismay, the difficult task of maintaining under existing circumstances, the high standard of the State's institutions. These institutions are the pride and hope of our people. They are conducted by noble and patriotic men and women. If for the present we appear to have arrested our progress, the pause is not by way of abandoning our noble ideals, but of fortifying ourselves with them.

The State's Representatives in Congress We commend the record of our servants in the National Con- gress. They have been faithful to their duties, true to their party, and have proved themselves worthy representatives of Democracy.

Invitation The hour calls for the return of the Democratic Party to power throughout the republic. In the coming election the Republican Party will be condemned at the polls by the victims of its false pretense and its disastrous policies. It has forgotten the masses of the people, and they will welcome the opportunity to repudiate it. Every aspect of the present situation demands the appreciation of Democratic principles, that is, (a) Simplicity of government. (b) Economical administration. Republican State Platform 71

(c) Equal rights to all, and special privileges to none. (d) Special regard for the welfare of the farmer and worker. (e) The encouragement of commerce and industry, and the preservation of industry and initiative. (f) Free foreign relations on a basis of mutual interest in the commerce of the world. (g) The restoration of the Democratic principles of Woodrow Wilson in the management of the Federal Reserve Banking system, and the prevention of the use of its great resources for the promotion of stock gambling and wild speculation.

This government needs now a great Democrat to deliver it and

lead it, one cast in the mold of a Jackson or a Wilson. Our national convention will present such an one to the nation, and in less than 12 months the Republican Party will be driven from the power of Presidency and of the Congress, and Democracy will apply her great principles to the deliverance and relief of the people. To this end we invite all who would deliver our country from the evil and destructive forces which have come upon it under Republican rule to join us in the coming election.

STATE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM Adopted at Charlotte, April 14, 1932

When a political party invites support from the people, that party should in good conscience and by plain words make known to the people the policies, principles and ideals for which it stands. The people have the right to know in what manner and by what means a. party proposes to carry on the public business, if placed in power. It has always been the policy of the Republican party to take a definite stand upon public questions, and to state frankly its position. We believe that it is evident to all thinking people that there are now certain financial, political and economic problems facing the people of North Carolina which must be solved quickly and solved rightly, if the honor and integrity of our State is to be preserved and the interests of our people protected. 72 Political Platforms

Therefore, the Republican party of North Carolina in convention assembled, reposing its trust in the honor, intelligence and sense of justice of the people of our State, publicly declares, by the following platform, the position of the party upon the questions of vital import confronting the people of our State at this time. We take this occasion to record our estimate and approval of the administration of that wise leader and profound statesman, Presi- dent Herbert Hoover. In the midst of a period of world-wide economic depression, social disorder and political upheaval which has witnessed national riots, violent revolutions and the fall of governments in other parts of the world, President Hoover, in spite of partisan and personal attacks more scandalous than any Presi- dent has had to endure for more than half a century, by his superior skill, courageous statesmanship and persevering devotion to duty, has directed for our Republic a course of safety and security. With a spirit of tolerance toward the little-minded partisans and the vicious-minded mongers of manufactured scandal, barking and snapping at his every effort, the President has succeeded in fighting back from our shores the forces and conditions that have destroyed governments abroad. It has been the spirit and genius of Herbert Hoover, supported by the faith and confidence of patriotic, sane thinking and sound-hearted Americans, that has saved our Re- public in this world crisis. The good people of North Carolina contributed in the gift of this great man to the nation. We take pride in the record he has made and we pledge to him our continued confidence, cooperation and support. We rededicate and reconsecrate ourselves to the principles of the Republican party heretofore so often written into its platforms and woven into the history of our country. The Republican party is now and has always been the party of the people and has ever striven to give to every man, regardless of his station in life, the full protection of his rights as an American citizen.

Democratic Extrayagance and Misrule We do not deem it necessary to record here our condemnation of the many failures and false policies of the Democratic party in the administration of the affairs of our State; nor do we feel it necessary to state here our protests against the gross extrava- Republican State Platfok.m 73 gance and waste of the people's money by the Democratic policies and office-holders of our State. The people know about these things. They have borne their ever increasing burden of Democratic misrule until it has become in- tolerable. The people have awakened to the sad and lamentable fact that the Democratic party in this State can not be trusted to give the people a conservative, just and safe administration of their affairs. The people know that the Democratic policies of preaching and promising economy, and at the same time practicing the most inexcusable extravagance, has brought the State of North Carolina face to face with the prospect of financial disaster. The people do not have to be told that the credit of the State is destroyed and that its bonds are now selling at the disgraceful figure of eighty-six (86) cents on the dollar. The people know that in 1919 the Democratic administration promised the people that its plans for revaluation of real property would greatly reduce the tax rate and relieve the burden of high taxes. The people have learned that this promise was false, and they know now that their property—their farms and homes—are valued for taxation at two or three times their real worth and that the tax rate has been more than doubled instead of being decreased, as promised. The people know that under Democratic rule the State and local debt amounts to more than five hundred million dollars, or a total of one hundred and eighty-three dollars ($183.00) per capita for every man, woman and child, white and colored in the State of North Carolina, and that on a comparative basis of State wealth, this debt exceeds many times the debt of any other State in the Union. The people know that the cost of government in North Caro- lina has multiplied four times within the past ten years and that this unheard of increase is due, in a large measure, to the unwise policies and extravagance on the part of our public officials. The people know that our Democratic state officials have for a long time been borrowing money and paying as high as six per cent therefor to pay the running expenses of the State, and the people know that the present administration ceased borrowing money and increasing the public debt only when it had so impaired the 74 Political Platforms credit of the State that it could no longer borrow in the money market. The people know that the orgy of waste and reckless spending of their money by the Democratic administration in North Caro- lina has spread into practically every county, city and town in the State, and that today many of these units are bankrupt and are having to suffer the disgrace of defaulting on their debts. The people know that innumerable offices have been created with fat salaries to pay political debts to "worthy Democrats," and they know that departments, bureaus, boards and commissions have been increased and multiplied in number until it has become difficult for a citizen to know where and how or by whom, the business of the State is being transacted; and they know that the expenses of government have been increased beyond all reason while the people themselves have been forced to toil and struggle under an oppressive burden of taxation to pay the salaries of this great army of office holders, whose principal official function is to raid the State treasury with their pay checks. The people do not have to be told that within the past three or four years their homes, which represented their life savings, have been sold from over their heads by the tens and hundreds of thou- sand because they could not meet the excessive and burdensome taxes exacted from them to supply the means of Democratic extravagance and mismanagement. The people know that land values in North Carolina have been destroyed; that industry has been retarded; and property owners discouraged, by the mounting expense of government, and alarm- ing increase from year to year in the taxes they have to pay. The people know that the burden of taxation has become for them a yoke of economic slavery under which they must toil and suffer as long as the Democratic party rules in this State. The people know that what North Carolina needs at this time more than anything else is not new sources of taxation, so much Its as it is new ideas of economy, and a new brand of conscience in political leaders, its Governors, office holders and law makers. The people do not have to be told that they have lost millions upon millions of dollars, the savings of their toil and sacrifice through the failure of banks from one end of the State to the other, and that a great majority of these failures was the direct result Republican State Platfohm 75 of the gross incompetence, criminal negligence, and loose methods of supervision by the state banking authorities. The people know that as recently as two years ago the Platform of the Republican party in this State protested against these methods and warned the State authorities, as well as the people, of what would neces- sarily happen unless these shameful conditions were remedied. This warning was not heeded, and today we witness the melan- choly result which has brought financial collapse and indescribable agony and distress to practically every community in our Com- monwealth. The people know that our public school system of North Caro- lina and the State highway organization have been shamefully con- verted into partisan, political machines, notwithstanding the fact that it has been repeatedly promised that they should always be kept non-partisan; and the people know that this misuse and abuse of these organizations has seriously affected their efficiency. The people know that there has been no serious effort at law enforcement in this State under the present administration; that crimes in high places have been kept concealed and have otherwise gone unpunished, and that political considerations have become a significant factor in dealing with state and legislative problems of vital interest and deep concern to the people of our state. The people know that the Democratic politicians and office holders are now and have been for some months engaged in carrying on. through newspapers and public speakers, a persistent campaign of propaganda in an effort to make the people think measures of economy have been adopted. The people know that this propaganda is false and that it is nothing more than campaign thunder for the approaching election. The people know that the Democratic party in North Caro- lina keeps itself in power only by means of unfair, partisan and unjust election laws and the oppressive use of the election machinery and corrupt practices under cover of the absentee voters law. The people know that they must have relief from these intoler able conditions, and they know that no relief is to be had until the Democratic group of office holders, whos.e long reign of extravagance, tyranny and oppression is responsible for the miserable con- 76 Political Platforms

dition which exists throughout our State, is repudiated at tlip polls and swept from power.

Remedies Proposed We solemnly promise the people of North Carolina that, if put into power, the Republican party will in good faith carry out the following proposals which we believe will, in a large measure, repair the wrecked financial structures of our State, save it from financial ruin, and inspire our people with new faith in our State government and new hope for the future. We promise immediate and drastic reduction in the number of office holders not only the State but in the several counties. We promise immediate and drastic reduction in the salaries and fees of all office holders, State and county. We promise immediate elimination of all waste and extravagance in the operation of our State institutions and prison farms. We promise immediate reduction in the number of departments, bureaus, boards and commissions, by eliminations and consoli- dations. We promise elimination of extravagance and waste in highway and road maintenance. We promise to reduce to reasonable requirements the large army of election officials, clerks and poll holders, whose compensation costs the taxpayers a vast amount of money every two years for primaries and elections. We promise measures for strict economy in every branch of State and county government, and for the highest degree of efficiency in public officials. We promise to enact laws that will give back to the people the right to decide by their vote when and for what purposes new bonded indebtedness shall be created by the State, counties and municipalities. We promise to enact laws providing for strict budgetary control of State expenditures under a system that will keep the State budget always in balance by proper adjustment of State expenses to State revenues and incomes. We promise to repea^ the Act of the Legislature of 1923 which relieved stock in foreign corporations from taxation. This Act has worked a discrimination against the domestic corporations Republican State Platfokm 77

and caused many of them to surrender their state charters and to become foreign corporations, to the detriment of our State and great loss to our State treasury. We believe that if the tax reforms and policies of economy proposed in this platform are made effective, a sales tax in any form will be rendered unnecessary. We favor a constitutional amendment to authorize increase in the rate of taxation of individual and corporate incomes in the higher brackets. We believe there is too much wealth exempted from taxation by law in North Carolina, and that if this wealth, with the vast amount of other valuable property that has been kept concealed, is made to bear a just proportion of the tax burden, our tax and revenue problem will be in a large measure solved. We favor laws that will place all wealth, tangible as well as intangible, upon the tax books, to the end that the property of the rich shall be taxed alike with the property of the less favored. We believe that the present tax value of land, farms and homes, constitutes a rank injustice and positive fraud upon land owners of the State. We believe that tax books should be made to speak the truth with respect to every item placed upon them, and we promise the immediate enactment of laws that will reduce land values and that will fix the values of all classes of property for taxation purposes at not more than their actual market value. We favor reform in the present system of taxation so that land shall bear only its just proportion of the tax burden, and we demand that land shall be relieved of all taxes necessary for the maintenance and operation of our public schools for the six months term provided by the Constitution of our State, and we promise to enact the necessary laws to bring about this relief. We condemn as grossly unjust the present law providing for tax foreclosures by actions in court which entail enormous fees and expenses to be charged against the property. This law legalizes un- conscionable graft; is a disgrace to the State and a cruel burden upon distressed tax payers. We promise immediate repeal of this law. 78 Political Platforms

Banks We promise to enact laws that will renew the confidence of our people in the banks of our State and that will prevent wholesale failures of banks, such as has been witnessed in this State within the past two years. Banks should be confined strictly to banking operations. We promise a system of State supervision of banks that will be intelligent, thorough, painstaking and positive. Bank- ing institutions obtain their franchises and charters to do business from the people, through proper public officials, and should always be subject to whatever reasonable regulations are made for the protection of the people. The time to close a bank is the moment it becomes insolvent, and no consideration whatsoever, political or otherwise, can justify public officials in permitting insolvent banks to remain open until all of the assets and deposits therein have been dissipated and wasted. We promise legislation that will eliminate politics from the regulation and supervision of banks and financial institutions in this State. We believe that loss of faith in banks and the unnecessary loss of millions of the people's money thereby have done more to demoralize economic conditions and to prolong the period of depression in this State than any other one thing, and if placed in power, we promise the people that the banking laws of this State shall be strengthened to the extent necessary to insure stability and honesty in the banking business, and to guarantee the greatest degree of security and safety to the people. Public Schools and Education

We promise that our public schools shall be taken out of politics and that they shall be operated under a uniform system throughout the State. We further promise that our public schools which are near and dear to the hearts of the people shall be properly supported and their efficiency increased. We believe that a great saving can be effected in the operation and maintenance of our public schools and other State educational institutions by the elimination of non- essentials and unnecessary waste, and by enforcing a policy of strict economy. We believe that all text books used in the public schools of our State should be standardized and made uniform, and that they Republican State Platform 79

should be furnished and where practicable, printed by the State, and that the expenses of unnecessary changes in text books and the burdens upon the people incident to these changes should be eliminated. Books for use in our public schools should be furnished by the State, either free of charge absolutely, or by loan and return, with charge only for depreciation at the end of the school year, with option to purchase at actual cost. We demand that the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Auditor, Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Attorney General, who are Constitutional officers, selected for other duties, should not be ex-officio members of and constitute the State Board of Education, but to the contrary, this Board should be non-partisan and composed of experienced business men and educators, whose official duties should be to manage, direct and control the public school system of the State, and further empowered and directed to equalize and apportion the funds provided by law for school support and maintenance. That the State Superintendent of Public Instruction should not be an elective Constitutional officer, but to the contrary, he should be appointed by the State Board of Education, and thereby remove this position from partisan politics. We demand that all of our State educational institutions shall be amply provided for and supported by the State, and that our public school teachers who have rendered heroic service to the State shall be paid salaries commensurate with the grade and character of work they are required to perform, without any discrimination as to time between the payment of their salaries and the salaries of other public officials and employees of the State.

Chain Stores

We favor laws that will restrict, by constitutional taxation, the menace of chain stores, and give back to the merchants and business men of our State the opportunity to do business and earn a living free from the crushing competition of alien non-taxpayers. We believe that if this condition is not soon remedied, our local independent merchants will be driven out of business and that our people will be helplessly and hopelessly in the hands of a foreign monopoly. 80 Political Platforms

Prohibition

We hope for a capable, courageous, sober and virile nation, and therefore pledge ourselves to the retention and strict enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and all laws enacted for its enforcement; and we pledge ourselves to the impeachment and discharge of every public official and peace officer who becomes drunk in public, or while in the discharge of any of his official duties and his prompt prosecution in the criminal courts. Election Laws The most sacred possession of a citizen in a free government is the right to cast a free and untrammeled ballot and to have that ballot honestly counted. This right is seriously abridged in North Carolina by the partisan election laws on our statute books, and by the corruption and fraudulent practices which these laws make possible. These laws and the abuses practiced under them are violations of every principle of free government, and we shall never cease to protest against them as un-American and unpatriotic. We advocate, and if placed in power will enact, fair and impartial election laws that will restore to the people of this State the right to a free vote and voice in their government, and that will guarantee to every citizen all the sacred rights and privileges of citizenship. We favor the immediate repeal of the absentee voters law, and we favor a system of registration under the supervision of two registrars, who shall be of different political parties, and one election judge. Highway Transportation We demand that all automotive transportation companies, corporations and individuals, using the highways of our State for transportation for hire shall pay a tax commensurate with the benefit derived from such use, and that will eliminate the present system of unjust discrimination against railroads and other transportation companies. Labor The Republican party has always undertaken to protect the laboring man and will continue to do so and to advocate always Republican State Platform M for him just returns for his labor, wholesome conditions under which to work, and fair compensation for all injuries sustained in the course of his employment. Agriculture

We recognize as a well established fact that the welfare of all of our people rests in its finality on the uninterrupted prosperity of our farmers, and we therefore pledge our party to exert every reasonable effort to improve the general condition of the agricultural interests of our State.
