McGirt Challenges Policy of Gover nor on Roads If Legislature Con siders Woman Suffrage It Should Consider Vital Subject of Good Roads. Mr. W. A- McGrt, chairman of the North Carolina Good Roads associa tion, in a letter to Col. T. L.-Krk-patrick of Charlotte, presklent of the Wilmington-Charlotte-Asheville High way association, challenges th policy of Governor Bjckett n advocating woman suffrage and remaining silent on the subject of good roads. Mr. McGirt would not deny the suffrage to women, but he thinks that along with this the Governor should advo cate a broad State-wide policy of con structing hard -surfaced highways "W!th further reference to the movement for a State bond issue t' be used in constructing a State sys tern of hard-surfaced highways con necting county seats of the State, which was launched by members of the executive committee, in Charlotte, on January 2nd, I feel more encour aged over the prospects of the Gener al Assembly giving due consideration to the matter of a better State road law or bond -ssue. since Governor Bickett has called on members of the Legislature to ratify the Anthony amendment for woman suffrage dur ing thp special session of the 1920 Legislature. "Reports coming to this office from different sections make it appear that the Governor 's lukewarm on the 'good roads program', and would not sanction good roads legislation dur ing the special session, and that no work would be undertaken, except, that of 'nuttirfe the finishing touch es' on the revaluation act, which, by the way, is a good law,' a step 'n the " Wi yw -.".-v..-. "It is a well known fact that the Governor has given no support to a which co of tfij gtate The Governor openly approves woman suffrage and calls on the sol ons to ratify, but he is silent on the subject of good roads. "Does he thmk that woman suffrage will help the farmer and business man more than a system of good roads? "It is certain that woman suffrage will cost the State nothing (in dol lars and cents) and will come within the promise made by the Governor that the State would surely raise more money under th new act, but there would De no increase m taxes. "Woman suffrage is right and I no politician would dare refuse the, good women 'equal suffrage. If the; special session permits 01 a - sion of this important issue, win it not permit of a dscussion of just one other vital issue, to-wit: Good Roads ? There will be no increase in tax- es, says the Governor. "Does this mean that the great 1 State of North Carolina with all its I wealth would prefer to have a low taxi rate rather than spend a few more paltry dollars and banish illiteracy from the state? "Does h mean that the farmers and merchants must continue to pay a mud tax rather than a small State tax for good roads? "Does it mean that our people would rather hoard their dollars in stocks and bonds and suffer a high dentil x&tc ? "Does it mean that our -State in stitutions must live under the oldi budget? What does it mean? "It is apparent that not a few of our so-called statesmen still cl'ng to the old idea that it is not a part of the State's business to function in matters which make for the deeper and richer things of life. "All work is left to the poor little county unit the State will not func tion under this system. "It should be a part of our program to help elect men to office who have a vision of the State's needs and the courage to deal with essentials rath er than non-essentials."
