ANSWERS QUESTIONNAIRE
(Continued From Page One)
The luxury tax, properly used, is jus
tified as an emergency tax. The
■ schools should be put squarely up to
the property owners.
11. Do you favor taxing the debt
on land and also the luul mortgaged
to secure the debt, both at full value?
Ans. No. This is double tax and ut
terly unconscionable.
Do you favor tlie nbolitlon of in
terest and all taxatious by means of
a banking system owned and operat
ed by the Federal Government for
; service to all the people alike, rather
- than a banking system for private
profit : Ans. I live in Buncombe
county, North Carolina, and not in
Utopia. I try never to overheat by
brain by imagining a vain thing. The
dea advanced in tiiis question is so
cialistic.
1-1. Do you favor further bond is
sues by tlie state now that tile State's
bonded indebtedness is about |l(!tt,-
tMHt.BOO.' Ans. If the adequate sink
ing funds- are provided, I see no rea
son for refusing to issue bonds for
needed capital investments.
1-4. Do you favor a law to prevent
the employment of children under six
teen years of age in mills, mines and
other manufacturing establishments,
and to prevent the employment of
children under seventeen years of age
ill such establishments at night? Ans.
1 think the present child labor laws
in North Carolina arc almost, if not
finite adequate, but am willing to let
the health and educational authorities
say when and how they shall be
amended.
10. Do you favor a law prohib
iting the employment of women in
industry at night? Ans. No imma
ture woman should be worked at
night.
Ki. Ale you in ravor of changing
our school text books within five years
from date ? Ans. I favor changing
the text books when those charged
with the conduct of the public schools
think they need changing.
17. Do you favor a state wide sys
tem of free text-books for our public
schools? Ans. I do,
IS. Arc you in favor of a work
man's compensation liability law so
constructed as to give workers a fair
and reasonable compensation for in
juries without the expense of litiga
tion? Ans. \es, if a State fund is
provided.
It). Are you in favor of increasing
the salaries of State officers, judges,
solicitors, county officers, or State
employee's? Ans. A blanket increase,
no; but I can conceive of State and
county employees who are entitled to
increased pay.
20. Since lawyers and officers of
the court and enjoy special privileges,
arc you in favor of a law requiring
lawyers to report their fees to the
court for approval? Ans. I see no
particular objection to this, but would
it not be well enough to let the bar
association look after the ethics of
their members until it is certain they
have failed?
21. Are you in favor of increasing
appropriations to State departments
and institutions? Ans. If they are
justified.
22. Do you favor the creation of
Ans. Looks as if there might be
enough. I want only one of them—
that of United States Senator,
23. Are you in favor of putting
the Sjate penitentiary on a self-sup
porting basis without using convict
labor in competition with free labor?
Ans. Can -it be done? I think the
State prison should first be self-sup
porting. I do not believe convict la
bor should be used to compete with
free labor.
24. Are you in favor of spending
any more money on the Governor's
Mansion? Ails. I don't know because
I haye never been in the Governor's
mansion. The Governor of North
Carolina, however, should be given
living quarters commensurate with
his position.
THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
25. Are you in favor of public ap
propriations for the pnr]K)se of adver
tising North Carolina? Ans. Posi
tively not.
2<i. Do you think legislators
should draw salaries from commis
sions created by the legislature of
"huh they arc members? Ans. Not
unless they are peculiarly fitted for
such service.
27. Do you favor the election of
county board of education and coun
ty superintendent of schools by pop
ular vote? Ans. County boards,
yes; superintendents, no. The super
intendent is an administrative officer
who should lie selected for his capac
ity for service and not for his ability
to make votes.
28. Are you in favor or a state
constabulary? Ans. Frankly Ido
not know.
2!). What are your views as to the
best practicable means of better law
enforcement? Ans. Elect officers
with the brains, desire and guts to
give sen-ice.
M). \\ ill you favor a l-tilc in the
General Assembly to have all mem
bers of the committees to be elected
by tlie House and Senate respective
ly ? Ans. This question is more prop
erly addressed to a member of the
Legislature.
31. What are your views as to thp
eight hour work day for Industrial
workers? Ans. An eight hour day
is long enough for anybody, but I do
not know whether conditions are ripe
for legislating now.
32. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture lias published
statistics showing that the farmers’
dollar lias a lower purchasing power
for value today than at any time in
sixty years. What is your remedy for
this unjust and crushing discrimina
tion against half of our population?
Ans. The farmer must secure more
for his products. He should be aid
ed to organize his marketing wher
ever poss’bie.
33. Are you in favor of giving out
tlie public printing to employers of
non-union labor? Answer. I favor
letting the printing to tlie lowest re
sponsible bidder as at present. In
my opinion, he will generally be an
employer of union labor; :t would be
better for union labor not to have
this edge.
34. I)o you favor American partic
ipation in the World Court? Ans.
We’re in. aren’t we? Why not try
it for a while?
3-i. I)o you favor changing of out
immigration laws? Ans. If I
changed them, it would be to impose
further restrictions. America for Am
ericans.

of virtue's reward. Could virtue be
accentuated without the contrasting
ills of 'humankind?”
In further discussion from this
angle he drew a parallel with tlie
Bible, stating that “it is the fullest
portrayal of life ever penned. Noth
ing is omitted in the Bible; nothing
is censored; there’s no denaturing.
Follow the children of Israel. If
you read in your newspaper some of
the tilings about folks now that is
recorded about that family, you would
toss up your hands in horror, judging
by comment thoughtlessly made in
criticism of the standard American
newspaper today. Per hundred col
umns of type or pounds of paper, the
Bible and other classics run decided
ly more to crime and tragedy than
your daily paper.”
Unclean news was described by
speaker as that which tells ’half the
truth and no truth at all. “To add
to or take from any given set of
facts, marks news unclean,” lie said.
“To print any statement aside from
ethical rule to create a certain effect,
is to disseminate unclean news. To
print half of the facts is a deception.
The publication of biased one-sided
matter constitutes journalistic fel
ony. Any news that bears anony
mous opinion by the writer is un
clean.”
The speaker declared that, in con
nection with the accusation that
newspapers are publishing fallacies,
it was far easier to state facts than
to present mis-statements and that
the publisher of distorted stories
could not long remain unspotted. He
said it was good business to tell the
truth properly.
“The publisher who poisons or
adulterates his product comes to the
same end as the druggist who uses
substitute drugs in filling a doctor's
prescription.
“There is no escape. The law of
compensation is irrevocable. Tlie
newspaper which by its shady ef
forts. panders to perverted news ap
petite will, in time, find itself caught
in the vortex of revulsion.
“Accuracy properly presented is
the foundation of the profession. Any
accurate news, properly presented, is
clean news always. There is noth
ing higher than truth and society is
never bettered by being kept in ig
norance of its own weaknesses.”
Mr. Henderson cited dispatches of
tile Associated Press as a general ex
ample of dean news. Tlie organiza
tion, by its very nature, he said,
vouched accurate, fair and proper
presentation of the news of the day.
“May I tell you,” he continued,
that I deem it a great honor and
the highest privilege of my profes
sional life to be a member of the
staff of the Associated Press?
“The Associated Press is a union
of about 1,300 leading daily papers,
having for its sole purpose the col
lection and distribution of the im
portant news of the world. It is
a purely co-operative body without
capita! stock. It maki-s no profits
and declares no dividends. Each
member pays bis prorata of the cost.
A peculiar thing about soccer foot
, ball in England, where the sport is
as popular as baseball in America, is
that no club seems over able to win
the first division championship in two
successive seasous.
Washington University, of St.
Louis, is the latest of the
colleges to drop baseball from its list
of major sports because of lack of
interest in the game.
