TAKES OUT GROUP POLICY
FOR BENEFIT EMPLOYEES
Home Building and Material Co.
Provides $1,000 Insurance for
Each Employee.
The Home Building Material Com
pany, of Asheboro, has taken quite
a step forward on behalf of its em
ployees. This company has provided
life insurance protection for its em
ployees through the acquisition of
a group policy in the Metropolitan
Insurance Company, of New York.
The total coverage amounts to $65,
000, with „each employee who has
been with the company three months
or more being issued for $1,000. In
case of partial disability which pre
vents the insured from preforming
his regular duties at the plant he
draws $50 a month until the face
value, $1,000, of his policy is ex
hausted. In case of death, of course,
the face value of the policy is paid
to the beneficiary.
The insurance was issued on a
co-operative basis whereby the em
ployees pay 75 cents a month on the
premium from their wages and the
company paying the remainder.
Supplementing this insurance pro
gram is a service for the distribution
of educational health bulletins and
booklets. The insurance company
j does not have the nursing service in
I Asheboro that it maintains in larger
towns, but will install thfe service la
ter should other corporations in town
provide this insurance protection.
In addition to this life insurance
protection, the Home Building and
Material Company has a mutual
j benefit insurance service maintained
jointly by the company and the em
ployees. The employees pay in to
! this fund one per cent of their wages
while the company contributes a like
amount. This is used to pay the
wages of any regular employee who
is incapacitated on account of ill
ness and is not able to work at his
job. v .

THE LEGISLATURE
NOW IN SESSION
Many Important Matters In
Way of .Appropriations To
Be Considered.
Senator Arthur Ross and Represen
tative. A. I. Ferree left for Raleigh
Tuesday to be present at their re
spective party caucuses before the
formal opening of the General As
sembly at noon yesterday.
The organization of the General
Assembly was completed Tuesday
night and everything in readiness for
the formal opening at noon yesterday.
The Democrats in the lower house of
the Legislature number 100, while the
Republicans have 20. In the Senate
47 of the 50 members are Democrats.
Among the chief matters to come
before the General Assembly will be
the appropriations measures for
schools, colleges, hospitals, and other
institutions and various departments
of the State government. From the
statements that have been made by
leaders of the lawmakers it may be
assumed that this Legislature will be
a conservative body anil will probab
ly shave down some of the large
sums asked for by some of the insti
| tutions. The body will probably au
thorize a $35,000,000 bond issue for
the carrying on of the good roads
program. As usual a number of
bills of purerly local concern will come
up before the assembly.
Governor Morrison has announced
that he will not address the Legisla
ture, leaving this for Governor-elect
A. W. McLean, who will be inaugur
ated January 14th. Governor Mc
Lean in his message is expected to
outline clearly his policies and will
make recommendations to the law
makers. Owing to the reputation Mr.
McLean has built up as a business
man and executive his message is
expected to be a strong document.
The State in general is expecting a
great administration under the guid
ance of the new Governor.
The revenue bill will occupy the
most attention of the General Assem
bly. Commissioner R. A. Doughton
has indicated that additional revenue
must be gotten if the appropriations
made are to come within the amount
of money-collected to run the State’s
affairs. According to Doughton, the
State has been spending more money
than it collects and some method must
he employed to make the income and
outgo balance, if nothing else.
The Courier has arranged through
M. L. Shipman, retiring Commission
er of Labor and Printing, to have a
letter each week of the doings of the
fGenerar Assembly. In &his letter the
idoings of the Legislature inj^e rrat*
ter of State-wide legfefefiorrwill 4>C
noted in detail and also all legislation''
relative to this county wjll ^receive
special attention. ‘ * 1

| Republicans Have Surrendered
To “Financial Buccaneers”
—
j Senator Ladd, Republican of North
1 Dakota, in an address in the Senate
I Tuesday took the Republican party to
I task for reading out of the party
himself, and Senators LaFollette,
Frazier, and Brookhart.
He asserted that “the camp follow
ers of the old Republican party have
become the vanguard of the Republi
can party—leading it downward from
the heights where Lincoln left it
when he fell”.
The party drunk with power and
| forgetful of its traditions, he said,
has proceeded with' the surrender of
the nation’s money functions to “fin
ancial bucaneers” and to surrender
its taxing power to “tariff magnates”,
has squandered its natural resources
and made ventures in imperialism for
the sole benefit of “partisan satraps”,
1 and transformed the government “of
the people by the people and for the
; people” into “a government of the
masses by the classes”.' '”' '
