preyed upon' txy trusts abroad and by
trusts at borne. They take. from the
earnings o ail. The poor must suffer
" most. The farmers especially have
been plundered and oppressed in the
open day without hindrance, by a
great concern : adjudged now to be
criminal. We have been a patient,
long-suffering people. In our platform
there is promised legislation that "will
make the existence of . these concerns
impossible ". There is promised the
enforcement of the civil and; Criminal
law against the trust and againsj the
man behind the trust."
' In the fulfillment iof this promise.1 we
need a trust law, clad in blue uniform
that can raid a trust den with a war
' -rant, and handcuffs in its' hand. . The
guilty should be made to tremble, the J
innocent may fear not. vvniie 1 am
Governor, no innocent man shall suf
fer by the criminal lav;.
The cry will be raised that such leg
islation will injure business, Tne
trust will shield itself if possible, be
hind legitimate industry. It will paral
ize, if it can, the hand of justice by
warnings of disaster from the inter
ference with business.
The destruction of piracy is the pro
tection of industry. It is the duty of
the State to. protect and to encourage
every enterprise, .small and great. And
this is the age of large enterprises.
They are essential In the economy of
our civillsatioh and' are the 'agencies
of its tremendous power and accom
plishment. "AH the Currents of the
time run. to centralization. To suc-1
cessfully resist It, we must throttle
steam and discharge electricity -from
human service." - But these forces
should be; for" the . service and not for
the oppression of mankind.
One of the greatest works to be done
, in North Carolina is the development
of her water powers This enterprise
is now beginning to assume its splen
did proportions. It is potential with
magnificent upbuilding. The energy
of our -rivers -which has been wasted
in wild cataract and cascade has been
harnessed and driven to cities and
towns in currents of. power obedient
for all manner of service. This indus
try should be" welcomed and encourag
ed. The men behind it are benefactors
of the State. The policy of our law Is
that the State shall regulate and con
trol public service corporations.;' These
water powers are the natural agencies
for public service. They are natural
monopolies and since the time of an
cient grist mills have been subject to
governmental regulations. The cor-,
poratlons that own them should like
similar corporations, be controlled by
our Corporation ' Commission. This
must be done eventually and it is but
fair and right that it should be done
now. We should always remember,
however, that "remuneration should be
In proportion to the boldness of the
conception and to the risk' of the en
terprise. .This Is just.
For the protection of the 'people who
work in factories and on the railroad,
we should have an employers' liability
law. It should provider reasonable
compensation or injury or death, With
out the delay and the expense of liti
gation. This law should be Just to em
. mlaver- and emoloTe and it. will be to
the advantage of both. It would elimi
nate the contingencies and expense ob
jectionable to both. It is demanded by
good business as well as by the pro-
gressive. humanity of the age."
. From the task of protection we pro
ceed to tne grander tasK 01 construc
tion. f We have in North Carolina, two and
a half .millions of people of pure Eng
lish and Scotch-Irish blood. We re
joice in the - enterprise and industry
" and courage of pur urban population,
and we honor our leaders in business,
the master men who have built up and
organized great industries and devel
oped our expanding commerce. But
this is essentially a farmer State, and
will be for generations. We have no
large cities. Eighty per cent, of our
population is rural good, sturdy farm
er folks. They grow and spend their
llves in the country. Their ilestiny,
the destiny of burcommonwealth, the
destiny of us all must be determined
by the conditions that exist in the
country.' ' .
--. North Carolina is a grand old State,
ner.past nasvoeen neroic in peace ana

THE
ployes and : the children Qf their- em
ployes., In many places they have
provided schools .and libraries and
comfortable reading rooms. : Some of
the great organizers and heads of in
dustries take the most active interest
in the cleanliness of their factory
towns and the welfare of their work
ers. But the State should not neglect
her duty longer because individuals
have sometimes done their duty.
I doubt not that the General Assem
bly will ratify by statute the humane
recommendations made for the protec
tion of women and children by the
committee of mill men and the com
mittee or the Society for the Protec-,
tion of Child Labor.
The highest duty of society is the
education ..of the children. The com
mand to educate our country children
has been' thundered from the con
science of the age. When in obedience
to tne demands of the people and -of
justice to the child, this General As
sembly shall provide for a six vmonras
rural school, North Carolina will feel
the impulse of an exalted hope. 1 Therf
it will not be long before the stigma
of Ignorance will be wiped out th-j
stigma which through the long years
has been our. misfortune and our .hu
miliation. . y - ' ' ; ; . S
This act of beneficent wisdom will
reach down to the children of the lo wi
liest and lift them up to a dearer vis
ion. It will show them hope and en
dow, them with a new strength. It will
lift the whole State up ahd 'giye; to
her a nobler and a grander , meaning
And prosperity, and juster laws and
nobler institutions and ideals will fob

enment. ,. - $
The time has come lor the Statd to
exercise her sovereign authority and
compel the' attendance of her children
upon the schools. !. The child cannot
work to advantage-but1 iits mind; Is
eager for knowledge and ' mpst reten
tive. His character Is respolisive "to
culture. The factory is no place' for
the child.. The drudgery of toil is not
his rightful inheritance before his
bones are hard or his muscles are firm.
IF we grind the seied corn, there-will
be a failure in the crop of man
Our institutions of higher learning
must be sustained in "their -full vigor
and efficiency; They are the dynamic
centers of culture and are essential to
the life of the State. 'If we should al
low them to begin td degenerate, our
whole educational system would begin
to lose its vitality and power. '
Our elemoysynary Institutions must
be maintained in the high state of effic
ciency for which they have been not
ed. We must make provision for the
deaf and the dumb and the blind and
the insane and the feebleminded. When
in their distress and . weakness, they
stretch forth their hands to us. the
should not be driven back as were- the
blind men in the way to Jerusalem for
it was the Christ who said, "Inasmuch
as you did it unto the least of these;
my uttie ones, you did it unto Me."
I hope that you can provide a more
generous .pension for the Confederate
soldiers. t More than half a : century
ago they went In youth and strength
to meet the invading host. Some fell
amid the fierce tumult of historic days
Deneatn tne advancing flag, enshrined
in eternal youth; many have passed
since the war; the remnant of the he
roic army is with us yet Most of them
are poor, alb are disabled by age and
tne wounds and hardships of war. Our
privilege to help them is closinsr. for
the captains and the soldiers are de
parting. Soon it will be written what
we did for the last of the battle-scarred
men of Dixie. .:
We should encourage all of our In
dustrfes, but especially "should ' we
stimulate the growth of agriculture.
Its wonderful improvement is alreadv
an Inspiration. Our farmers are be
ginning to reap the harvests, of the in
telligent utilization of the soil. We
should provide by every feasible meth
od for their protection, and for their
r , F
ootaining tne means and resources,
that increasing prosperity may come.
improved, hignways are the arteries
of the country. They create organiz
ed communities of isolated families
and make these communities a part of
the life of the great world. Dynamite
and, the steam shovel ... are making
inrougn tne mils and through the gran
ite of the mountains, pathways for the
locomotive. The Improved road would
give the farmers access to the rail
road, to the church, and to the school
during all the seasons of the year.
Good roads stimulate : improvement
They enrich the soil. They, build anew
the school -house the church' and the
home. They arouse ambition and gen
erous emulation. They increase the
value of every acre of land that they
touch and the value of every man, wo
man and child whose house they pass.
No community can hope for progress
without the good road. We cannot
have the benefits of, modern civiliza
tion without it It is not an expense;
it is an investment that pays one hun
dred per cent, dividend every -year.
And more, it brings culture and con
tentment and a better social life.
Every community in the State; must
have it The cost is much less than It
was a few years ago. i v r
I think that a general statute should
be .enacted conferring upon the town
ships the- power to levy taxes and Is
sue bonds for road construction and
providing administrative machinery.
The . counties can continue" wha't they
have been doing.. The townships can
complete it The State ahi-mla
vise and encourage this great work by
lending its credit and by all practica
ble, feasible ; means, - All available
convicts should be worked upon the
public roads. In this way they can be
used more appropriately and mpre to
the advantage of the public than In
the cultivation of the field -or In the
mechanical arts.' . .
Ifc Is not strange that thousands of
young men and young wohien, yearn

amount of her wealth have been multi
plied. The railroads of North Caro
lina are more valuable today than was
all of her property put together in
me. - ; : .
. ; , . 4 Forward . is the Order.
I-We cannot repudiate. the obligations
of Christian civilization. Now that
the land is yielding the bountiful har
vest nqrw that the'stagnant towns of
he iasigenertion are. growing cities
of increasing wealth now that indus
try IS triumphiht ; how that destiny Is
Unfolding to tus in grander revelation

Justice;; shall we not hear the appeal
of the -unfortunate r shall it be written

tive less , than any other Southern
3tateand 'farthe' education of our
children we dor less than any State In
f he Union? In this neiw century, when
Southern ideals are ' aTout to be re
stored . to the Union, when Southern
statesmen . are coming again to the
places of power, when the. future beck
ons with 'renewed strength and life;
forward, Is the order. r
; The fault is .that we do not assess
bur property for taxation. The . land
ias" been" greatly undervalued and
most of the personal property has not
been valued at-all- It seems that an
immediate reassessment is necessary
and it should be done before this Gen
eral Assembly shall adjourn sine die.
It f should be; -understood " that the as
sessment is; not ordered with the view
of increasing the rate of taxation, but
with the view of lowering the rate
and with the determination of secur
ing a more equitable and more com
plete listing of taxable property. The
I tax Oh inheritances should be increas
ed and they should be collected.
' In my opinion the impelling reason
for undervaluation and concealment of
property is not that men and com
munities desire to shi k the payment
of their , juit proportion of taxes, nor
that they desire to take advantage of
other men and other communities, but
the reason is, that they do not desire
that' other men land other communities
shall take the advantage of them. The
tax-payer, and the assessor, to insure! a
square deal foij- themselves and their
communities, are actuated by a com
mon purpose to undervalue property,
and for this reason" ; undervaluation
and concealment have ,come to be the
established custom. " f
The personal property of the aver
age man cannot be concealed. The se
curities of the ; wealthy can be con-;
cealed. The poor pay this tax. The
wealthy escape.
If we could segregate property and
provide that the property in each
community should bear the govern
mental expense of that community
4nd that property of a general char
acter should meet the requirements of
the State, the temptation to deprecia
tion would .be greatly lessened and the
effort to conceal, less successful. This
Is the essence and the strength of- lo
cal self government, the taxation of
each community hy its ,; own' people,
for its own purpose and benefits. The
unit should be no larger than is neces
sary to assure I the advantages of co
operation, j
: The application of this principle
has enabled our cities and towns and
many of our rural communities to en
joy the advantages of improvement
and progress. We must eventually re
sort to this principal bf local self gov
ernment for the highest develODment
of : local institutions.' We must resort
to this to obtain" the best roads and
the best schools and electric lights
and pure water and the opportunities
of modern life. To realize thp fnii
