A. R. PHILLIPS
STANDS ON HIS RECORD.
V»iiJ ihi» rank and Kit* of Stokes county cit'/ens noai
inate ti:o man who gave tiiem his best ?
i!* iouuht tlie sale* tax and will fight it again.
J!:- made every effort to know what !ii- county wantH
and then reflected in the House of Representatives by
iiis \>te the wishes of the people. He would do thiy
honestly again.
Hi> helped defeat a proposed measure that would have
destroyed every high school in the county with less than
100 enrolled pupils; but by amending that proposed meas
ure a given community may operate a high schou] with
an average of GO pupils.
He fought for the reduction of taxes on farms and
homes, and will never agree for the State to tax the al
ready overburdened farms and home.-, in order to run
schools. That, under our North Carolina constitution,
i> a State function, and schools should net be compelled
to depend on local support. Uniformity oi the road
s».v»tem was Impossible under local support, and in the
same way, unifcrmity of schools depends on State sup
port. Good roads and good schools must have State aid.
It is not lair lor the children in a tobacco producing
county to be cut back to a three mouths school, when
the children in a tobacco manufacturing county have the
advantage of a nine months school.
Hi' advocated a 5-dollnr flat rate on automobiles out
of justice to the man who uses his car possibly once a
week. Ho stands for some positive control by the Slate
over reckless drivers.
He offers his services to the county, and whether given
the nomination or not his every effort shall be for a better
condition for every home in the bounds of Stokes county.
