We realize those things had to be done If the State was to progress. We alio realized that the great mass of the people were paying all tha tax upon their small homes farms aiid other property for local govern mcnt and their schools they could stand. We knew that ad valorem or tax on property according Its value was a tax on the principal of what people had; that many o them who had a little property yet had a hard time to live;- that old men, helpless women and chlldre might have a little property, but they were unuble to make money, We knew that ad valorem taxatlo hore equally upon those who C.iuld earn and those w ho could not, an that It would Justly s'tand no more than the counties and towns re Quired, so we discarded it alto aether as a "source of State revenue and left all tax on the value of property to the counties and to vns Under the new system we raise th funds to run the State, altogether franchise taxes, inheritance tax, trom license taxes of various kinds, Income tax, etc. We put tha whole burden ot running the State gov ernment upon a new basis. Th tax Is light and does not burden atvbody. 'But the basis of it all is that the tax comes fromjill the people of the State, according to the business done and th success attained. It Is Just. We are the only Southern State which does not levy tax on the value of property for state purposes. We are the only aoutnern state which could wisely adopt our system, for pone of them have the business and wealth to justify It without oppression. We were able to do It because we are the first State in the Union in the manufacture ot tobacco; the second in tne manufacture or cotton tex (if i furniture and in. many other tiles; high up in the manufacture lia.es a great manufacturing State as well as the first per acre planted in agriculture and the fifth in th i.ggregate value of our annual farm crops, although the twenty-seventh in area and the fourteenth In popu lation.

' "When we were having the con test over It before the General As sembly I talked to a high official of the company we knew would pay mope than any other in the State. He said It would cost them a great deal of money, but he agreed with me that it wa the only way to raise the necessnry money to run the State without oppression of th masses and that he was in favor of doing it, I asked him It he would say so to some members of the General Assembly. He said he would, and he did. TIU company year than every lawyer, farmer and paid more State t.ix und-r It last politician In the Stato combined. "Under this new system we not only meet every dollar of the State's obligations under tho n lai'ted programme without any tax, on the value of property but we give one million four hundred thousand dollars to the common school system and from this help more than lifty counties run their local school. Million Annually for Confederate Veterans "We give the old Confederate Soldlprs a million dollars a year, and not one cent from property tax. "And yet there are demagogues who complain at the Injustice to tho masses by the administration In the matter of taxation. Tho system Is Just and yet that the classes who pay it are I1k and broad enough to do It without la mentation and complaint, fills me with gratitude and admiration. It lias been administered without Kraft or waste. True value has been received for every dollar ex pended. "A great many people bemoan tlm lack of business methods In tile administration of the Stato's affairs, declaring so often, 'If we only could dispense with politics 11118 apply business principles to the State .Government, how splen did It would be.' Tills sentiment comes from the tin-business-like hahit of the most business-like, in I their private affairs, not looking into their State's Government, and ascertaining the true facts. If they would but look Into the State's affairs, 1 am sure the, would find that the State's business was run upon as sound business principles anil with less overhead, or administration, cost than an, business of s.milarsize and volume of a private character conducted in this counfrv. "Aside from the political duties rf the Government, the business of the State Is immense.

In spite or nis modesty, I want to make known throughout the Stete. He Is on the board of directors of the Morganton Asylum, and I know that the burinnss life of this city will rec ognize him as capable of helping to attend to the business of the insti tution: but I wanted to Improve the medical staff at the Institution and at the other Institutions for our defec tive and unforunate in the State. 1 urged the State to evolve some plan b, which these unfortunate people could have the benefit of better doc tors and higher skill than It was i possible with the funds at hand to i assemble as resident physicians In the Institutions. I explained the dim-1 ciilty that w would have one able! superintendent, with two or three young men assistants, and thait we' ought to have something better. ; Whereupon, this hardheaded banker! suggested that the way to do it was j to get the doctors to serve for noth-! ing; that ir tne etaie con i a not e (hem to go there and stay, we d-org.nl.. a'lar,. staff with h I undertook to '""J Vt "a", - ,Zi. .-ir. .nd rmt ihtmMKiH Of th peopl or tni or ny can varied nr.. f not filivi ' tor a few dayoth.r State.

Little Overhead Coit For Administration "Put I am more particularly ad dressing myaelf to tho contention that the buslnrss of North Carolina Is at tended to In as buslnesa-IIke way and hy as able business men as the State has developed, and the overhead or drtmlnlstratlpn charge of all th State's business, according to any eitallshed definition nf what properly Is overhead or administration cost, will show that H7 cents of every dollar flppronrlated by North Carolina to ac complish any of Its purposes of a business character go to the purpose and only three cents or the dollar to overhead or administration cost. I challenge any big business establish ment In America to show a better record, or any State In this Union.

"No anker In North Carolina at tenda to mora business of great Im portance than Treasurer Dacy. He does It for 14.500 a year, and my own oulnlon Is that there la no banker In North Carolina who can do It any better, and yet some of them ret rive times his salary In private business. "Attorney General Manning, In pri vate business for the work he does for North Carolina, would get more monev than any lawyer In North Carolina makes. "These men are ftll councillors of State, as I have said, and sit around thP Oovernor and help him weigh and smlve every pronVblem or diffi culty the State confronts. "The other State officers wno are not councillors, of State are of the highest order and type of men. They are frequently called Into conference about the State' affairs, and I want to declare now that whatever success I have had In meeting the heavy re sponsibility of my great office Is largely due to Hie generous help, the loyal support and experience of the patriotic and efficient State officials who have counselled me In every emergency and helped In ever, great oonoern of the State. We have stood together, and worked together, and I declare that I do not believe an, men do more work for th salary re ceived than the executive officers of the Btat of North Carolina. I. of course, exclude the Oovernor, whose salary Is notoriously munificent, and who has so little to do that the health of the occupant is usually shattered before hi term expires. "It Is distressing to see such wide spread opinion that tho business of the State is butchered by politics. This Is a mistake, a cruel and griev ous mistake.

The business of the State Is carefully attended to, and its Interest Jealously guarded. Our overhead or administration cost Is the lowest in the Republic, accord ing to the latest figures compiled. It does seem to me that this ought to satisfy the most critical.

"Never before In my ady haa there beeri such slight Interest In an ap proaching election, and yet I have never known such general and In telligent Interest In governmental .af fairs as the people of North Carolina are now taking. . The unprecedented lack of Interest In the approaching election Is not due to the lack of In terest by the people In good govern ment, but because there Is almost universal security felt that the su premacy of the democratic party In the State was never before so secure, or the danger of victory by the re publican party less promising. I can not with sincerity sound any alarm, because I believe the Republicans are almost breatbroken with disappoint ment over Harding's administration, and I am pleased to think they are Intelligent enough to known that successful assault upon the democra tic State administration Is Impossi ble.
