THE. ASHEBORO COURIER. ASHEBORO. N. C. ASHEBORO, N. C, MARCH 0. uu P&ge Four V I. P 5 j - Ik ' if ? Ml I-1 t - t -ri1 it ' : BICEETT QTES HIGH PRAISE TO LEGISLATURE OF 1919 DID WELL IN THREE GREAT FIELDS OF LEGISLATION: TAX ATION, EDUCATION AND HEALTH, SAYS GOVERNOR RE-1 VIEWING WORK OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF 1919-WAS FIRST j IN THE UNION TO DECLARE, FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS "An inspiring record" ia the suggestive caption that Gov. htidt ett gives a special summary of im-j portant legislation that he prepared for the newspapers of the state, as re- j viewing the work of the 1919 legisla- ture, just adjourned. He says that 'its, record will declare its glory" was the way he expressed his faith in this assembly in his message at the open-j ing of the session and he is deeply , grateful that its work had Justified ( his "confession of faith." i The governor reviews the legisla-' tion of the session in a most gratified vein, beginning with the petition for a league of nations, ratification of the national prohibition amendment to the constitution; and in taxation, educa tion, health and all the other avenues of legislative contact with the people, stressing especially the school, good roads, and health legislation. The Governor's summary follows: The closing sentence of my biennial message to the general assembly of 1919 is:- "My prayer to God is, and my faith is that when the general as sembly of 1919 shall pass into his tory t's record will declare its glory." I am deeply grateful that the woik of the general assembly justifies the above confession of faith. It is not o perfect record. A careful reading or The Journal will disclose errors of commission, but, viewed in its entire ty, it is an inspiring record. In the very beginning the general assembly evidenced its sympathy with "the new tides running in the hearts of men." The general assembly of North Carolina enjoys the noble dis tinction of being the very first in the union to petition the American peace commissioners in Paris to incorporate in the treaty of peace a league of nations that will deliver the world forever from the burdens and horrors of war. The general assembly promptly rat ified the federal prohibition amend ment, and thus aided ir cuttinp out of our social and pr'.itic ! '.Se the most fruitful sou' t o:' ; overty, dis ease and crime. Taxation (1) The budget bill is abreast with the best thought of the times and will enable succeeding general assem blies to consider demands for the ex penditure of public funds with a full knowledge of all essential facts. (2) The income tax amendment to the constitution will enable the state to derive a reasonable revr.ue from sources well able to pay it, and will wipe out the discrimination now prac ticed against the man who earns a small income in favor of the man who collects a large one, and will make It possible for a succeeding general as sembly to write a model tax law un der which it will be unnecessary for the state to levy an ad valorem tax on real or personal property, but can leave all of this to the counties and towns. (3) The revaluation machinery act marks the high tide in sane and pro gressive tax legislation in North Caro lina. It is a complete abandonment of a standard, hoary with age and in iquity, and the establishment of a new standard of truth and justice. I am well within the bounds of conserva tive statement in saying that the fixed purpose of the general assembly to make all men come clean to the tax books will add more to the moral and material welfare of our people than all ine tax laws that have been written in North Carolina since Virginia Dare first saw the light on Roanoke Island. Education (1) It was a monumental achieve ment to get the people of North Caro lina to insert in the organic law of the state a mandate that every child shall have a chance to go to school six months in the year. But it was a more difficult task to frame a wise and just law to carry out this constit i tional mandate. This task has been accomplished so well that when the measure was fully explained many who "came to scoff remained to pray." Sandusky 10-20 Tractor Pulling 7 1-2 ft Reaper on the Farm of G. P.

Under a minimum wage law shall be an officer trained in all mat- enacted by this general assembly the average teacher will receive approx- imately $65 a month for a minimum term of six months. (3) The law requiring every child under fourteen years of age to go to scnooi during the enure term or the public school in the district in which the child resides, and provid- ing for the rigid enforcement of this law through a system of juvenile courts, gives to North Carolina a com- pulsory school law that ranks with that of any state in the union. (4) The act appropriating $50,- 000 to provide teacher training laws shall not be treated as criminals, through a aeries of county summer but as wayward children needing par schools conducted in every county in ental control, education, and discipline, the state is a most vital and valua- which must be supplied by the state ble departure. Health The general assembly made tremen dous strides in health legislation. The steps taken for the protection of the health of this and future genera tions in themselves abundantly Justify the existence of the present session of the general assembly. (1) In my opinion the most im portant and the most advanced step taken in the domain of health laws is the statue that gives authority to the medical staffs of our penal and charitable institutions to perform op erations on inmates of these institu tions that will make it impossible for incurable lunatics and imbeciles to "multiply and replenish the earth." The law carefully safeguards the pa tients and these operations can be per formed only when in the judgment of the medical staff they will redound to the benefits of the patients. This law is the very essence of humanity in so far as it effects the individual patiene, and is the only way to bring about a gradual decrease in the number of these unfortunate people. (2) The act that calls for the reg ular examination of i- t child who attends 'a pu' !;c : ; ',co! ir order to ascertain the 'x;s'-c; of either phys ical of mental defects and the appro priation of $50,000 per annum to cor rect these defects in indigent children breaks new ground in this field of leg islation. This law is bottomed on the sound principle that Christian civili zation cannot allow a child to stagger through life under the handicap of a curable physical or mental defect simply because the parents of that child may be stricken with poverty. (3) The law making it maniatory to maintain in all towns and thickly settled communities sanitary closets in accordance with plans and specifica tions prepared by the state board of health, means the saving of nearly a thousand lives a year, the prevention fn tlinuaand cases of sickness to- gether with all the suffering and ex-.

His position is made to ntmgh th her brother, Mr. R. H. u; with the compulsory attendance law and the new juvenile court law. The juvenile court law marks the most wholesome advance in child wel- fare legislation ever accomplished in this state at one stroke. It provides that all children under sixteen years of asre who may be infractors of the eince it has not been provided by natural guardians, ine law provides, that every clerk of the superior court in the state shall be a Juvenile court , , diction over children of less than six teen years. Every city of more than ten thousand population must estab lish a Juvenile court or make provision for combining with the county court. And towns of five thousand popula tion which are not county seat towns, and therefore not of easy access to the county clerk may provide courts . if thev choose. The desiiro is a guar- antee that every child be within the jurisdiction of a Juvenile court, no matter whether he lives in town or country. The law provides the man ner of procedure for carrying out (he juvenile court principles as it is known in the most modem legislation of the country and is not behind any state in the union. This law waa oerfected and carried through at the earnest solicitation of the commissioner of public welfare and th state hoard and the plans are to afford every help in working out the practical opera tion of the law in the several towns and counties. Good Re d -. The general assembly did good woik m public road legislation: (1) A bill of vital importance was passed so quietly that it was scarce ly mentioned in the press, and yet it ia essential to the very existence of good roads. The sin in North Carolina has not been our failure to build good roads, but our criminal negligence in failing to keep them up. This general assembly has enacted a law making it mandatory for county commissioners to levy an annual up keep tax where bonds have been issued for the construction of roads. This applies to every county in the state 1 and hereafter there will be no excuse' for any road in North Carolina that has been built on bonds to be allowed , t ti hW stitutions in so far as they can beprther tek that-ho. 18 i"01 met in the present financial concU' tion of the state.
