uallOWAY WANTS TO
SEE PROPERTY BACK
IN HANDS OF OWNERS
(Co>Ui/uie<i from paga out)
sought to know, in the event ol my
uu ruination and election, just what
Position ! would take in regard to
various matters that are or maybe
of interest to county.
"The iact that I am always ready
;:mI willing to atate my ideas end
t ..tractions on matters of community
ii-UTWt is well known; too well per
haps for my political good, but the
idea of folks having to "ask my
ghtiois''' where I stand on any
waiter ?f even small important
i.f v?r did appeal to. me.
" On educational matters 1 think
(hat ihe state should assume the en
tire cost of the six months school
turn ??nee, and that arrangements
looking' to an eight months state
maintained term should bo our goal.
"'The school-Book question is one
that causes constant quibble and the
* ' * ? - mrtiinf' fyf
I nut vwiwv*,.? ^
expenditure of (a large amount of
money on tho part of the patrons. I
think we should be able to materially
reduce the prices of school books now
and that some arrangement looking
to the state supplying all school books
either at actual cost or entirely free,
should be had.
"I am strongly opposed to what is
known a3 the Short Ballot, as well as
any other measure tending to fur
ther concentrate governmental au
thority in Raleigh.
"Since most of our political ills
are the result of, or arc connected
with the question of taxation in one
way or another, I will say that in
connection' with the matter of taxa
tion wo should have an equitable re
valuation to lower levels, and get rid
of the glaring inequalities that exist
n many instances.
"The further wholesale selling of
the homes of those unable to pay
their taxes should bo absolutely pro
hibited during the continuance of the
present ial depression, and ail
such as .have heretofore been sold
either by city or county should im
mediately Ik* restored to the rightful
owners and their past-due taxes
?-houli! be carried forward and added
to the succeeding year at not moro
than six per cent, interest.
"The charges for tax sales fore
closures permitted under the present
tax laws is nothing short of "legal
!? b!.vrv.'' his law should be wiped off
t h ? ? bonks and one based on common
sense and justice should replace it.
Under the present law there are
numerous instances where the costs
and expenses of selling the lands for
taxes amount t;< '"rom six to ten times
the maount of t,.e taxes to be col
lected. And remt tuber that you who
pay your taxes h ive to pay these ad
ded charges.
"1 !.>"iieve that most o/ you will
agree 'iviih mo that it is unjust that
the state or county should collect ten
to twenty per cent interest out of its
citizen > who are really unable to pay
their taxes promptly. I am opposed
both to usury charges by the county
and state -:s \v;|| as placing a penal
ty oti tin "poverty" to the people.
These interest charges and penalties
-should be corrected or wiped out en
tirely.
"I am. personally, strongly in favor
of a constitutional amendment that
would make valid a statute' under
which every citizen of North CaroAna
might own a home to the value qf?
say $11)00.00 or $2000,00 that is (en
tirely free of all taxes. Then he would
be assured that, come whay may, |ie
would have a shelter for his head^n *
his declining. years.' ' ?
"Such a law would, in my humakj'
opinion, do more to raise the standard'1
of our citizenship than all the laws}1
now in operation within the state. I
And under such a law the present]
land owner would soon begin to find i v
sale for his now worthless acres and , ,
literally millions of homes would soon
be established.
"This, you may say, will require
a radical departure from the beaten ?
patiis of the paat Grant that is does,
may we not ask if we haven't already J
followed the leadership of present 1
and past regimes to the very brink <
of political ruin both local, state and 1
; national? Then why should we not
about face, look fop new leadership 1
and try to salvage what we may from
?his- political wreckage before the t
tides have swept it all beyond our \
, reach?
i "I shall appreciate the support of j ''
every voter tor this nomination, and[J
shall also seek and appreciate your j
advice as to those things that might /
help us most should I be nominated L
and elected your representative.
"Respectfully, . ,
"ft!. W. GALLOWAY." |

TllE SUFFICING BIBLE
When I am tired, the Bibie is my
bed .
Or in the dark, the Bible is my Tight;
When I am hungry, it is vital bread
Or fearful, it is armor for the fight.
When I ant sick, it is healing medi
cine.
Or lonely, thronging irenas, I find
therein.
If I would work, the Bible is my tool;
Or play, it is a harp of happy sound.
If I am ignorant, it is my school;
If 1 am sinking, it is solid ground
If 1 am cold, the Bible' is my fire;
And it if wings, if I boldly aspire.
Should I be iost, the Bihle is my
guide
Or naked, it is raiment rich and warm
Am 1 am prisoned, it is ranges wide;
Or tempest- tossed, a shelter from the
storm.
Would 1 adventure, 'tis a gallant sea;
Or would I rest, it is a flowery lea.
Does gloom oppress? The Bible i.? a
sun
Or ugliness? It is a garden fair,
Am I athirst? How coo! its currents
run !
Or stifled? What a vivifying aii !
Since thus thou givest of thyself to
me,
How should I give myself, great
Book, to thee!
