The Progressive Farmer re
cently sent to all candidates for
governor, for representative and
state senate the following ques
tionnaire relative to farm legis
lation :
The enclosed leaflet discusses
four matters so Important to the
welfare of North Carolina farm
voters that we trust you will wish
to let our subscribers know your
answer to four questions listed
below;
1. Help Farmers Overcome
Present Agricultural Emergency.
-With North Carolina cotton
crop values out in half and to
bacco values likely to suffer as
much. North Carolina farm peo
ple especially need a compre
hensive fourfold campaign of en
larged (1) agricultural teaching,
(2) research, (3) extension and
(4) marketing. (See leaflet).
Question 1: Do you agree that
these forms of agricultural pro
gress obviously need to be better
supported . . . and may we ex
pect you to support sound and
reasonable increases to this end?
2. Forestry.—With cotton and
tobacco values declining, there Is
more urgent need than ever be
fore for adopting a system of tax
ation that Tvlll promote scientific
forestry and so look to a $30,-
000,000 annual timber Income
instead of $10,000,000. Question
Are you in sympathy with this
proposal?
3. Farmer Representation.—
Our agricultural interests should
be better represented on the Uni
versity Board of Trustees, the
Budget Commission, and on other
boards and commissions where
the welfare of farmers as the
largest class of the state’s popu
lation are involved. Question 3:
Will you use your power and In
fluence to this end?
4. Reduce Tax Rate on Owner-
Occupied Farms and Homes.—
Question 4. Since money, notes,
accounts, mortgagee, etc., are
taxed at only 10, 25 or BOc on
each $100 value (with important
deductions for debt) while farm
and home taxes average more
than $1 per $100 valuation (with
deduction tor debt), do you

Aitentlon of the readers of
this paper Is called to the adver
tisement of R. L. Harris of Rox-
horo, leading candidae for the
Democratic nomination as Lieu
tenant Governor of North Caro
lina.
Mr. Harris’ record of private
and public service to his state of
fers an Impressive catalogue of
tasks well done, reflecting credit
to himself and to those with whom
he has worked. For five success
ive terms, 1927 to 1935, he rep
resented the people of his native
Person County in the House, and
In 1933 he was honored toy being
chosen Speaker of the House
without oposltlon.
As Speaker he was universally
regarded as a fair and capable
presiding officer. Mr. Harris, who
Is not a lawyer, but a successful
business man and cotton manu
facturer, presided over an as
sembly which was largely com
posed of lawyers. He won their
respect and admiration, just as he
has won and held the respect and
admiration of all people with
whom he has' come in contact
during an active life.
By gnibernatorial appointment
he Is a member of the State Text
book Commission and the Board
of Directors of the North Carolina
Tubercular Sanatorium. In the
work of both groups he Is active
ly and vitally interested. During
his service In the House, In ad
dition to being Speaker, he was
Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee In 1931 and Chairman
of the Education Committee In
1935. He has served as a mem
ber of the Advisory Budget Com
mission and 1» now a member of
the Board of Trustees of the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
He lives on the same lot on
which he was born, and for the
past 25 years has been ’Treasurer
of -the Roxboro Cotton Mills. He
Is a director of The Peoples Bank
and of the Roxboro Building and
Loan Association. In all these
fields of private endeavor he has
achieved an enviable reputation
for tousiness knowledge and lead-
ershiip.
Mr. Harris was marrl (d to Miss
Katharine Long In 1913. They
have three sons and three daugh
ters who are an honor to the
name they bear. This family finds
m'uch pleasure in simple living
and friendly neighborllneas.
In public and private life Mr.
Harris has sought always to be
true to himself and to his fellow
men, and In so doing he has be
come a representative of the fin
est type which democracy can
produce.
Funeral service was ^eld todi^
