Mrs Helen R. Wohl Is First 91 Woman Filing For State Office Platform As ls3Sssrfc Against Centralization „„tiK Would I'laco Her On State School Commission And Board Of Education rreensboro, May 4.—Mrs. Helen _ hertson Wohl, of Guilford county, Democratic woman in the history 5 North Carolina to file for a state ffice presented her platform May 3rd S opened her active campaign for the nomination for state treasurer subject to the Democratic primary of JU\frs* Wohl’s platform is in the form a a challenge for the state to make 01 ? tv,p state Board of Education B«h established under the constitution, and ,® h are composed of elective officials, tat in the past their function have become perfunctory rather than ac tive She expressed vigorous opposition to any further centralization of governmental powers and responsibi lities in Raleigh. Public schools and public education ;n North Carolina would have a vigilant supporter in Mrs. Wohl as a member of the State Board of Education and State School Com mission if she is elected to office, she nromises. Her platform follows: In behalf of representative local self government; in behalf of budgets balanced in the general welfare of our ueople as well as budgets balanced in dollars; and in behalf of better public education in North Carolina, I enter the Democratic primary for the high office of state treasurer. If elected to serve, I shall by virtue of the office become a member of the State Board of Education. This board, elected by and directly responsible to the people should function with new life and service, and from the begin ning I shall regard my position on the Board as active in the cause of the public schools and public educa tion in North Carolina, My duties would also place me on the State School Commission, charged with expenditure of the huge school fund and charged with administration of the school machinery act. In this double capacity as an official of the state school system I shall not be content until every North Carolina child enjoys an opportunity equal to that enjoyed by the child of any other state. By virtue of the office of state treasurer I shall become a member of the Council of State. In this executive function, in advising the governor in the execution of his office and the administration of the states’ affairs, I shall remain ever mindful of the welfare of the people, and shall exer cise my constitutional right to dis sent whenever any proposed action appears to me to be against the public interest. 1 shall always support policies of state government that are construc tive, liberal, fair or beneficial; and 1 First To File MRS. HELEN R. WOHL I shall always oppose those measures which appear to me to be unfair, un just or oppressive. The less fortunate can rely on a sympathetic heart in their state capital. As director of local government, another function of the office, I shall fight any effort to further centralize in Raleigh any of the powers or responsibilities that rightfully belong to County Commissioners and muni cipal officials who have been elected to office by* the people. I shall do all in my power to help those counties, cities and towns, many of them, through no fault of their own, not able to meet their bonded obligations. In this capacity I shall assist officials of local units in solving their pro blems, I shall never arbitrarily inter fere with the rights of local govern ments and their officials. Excess interest charges consume millions of dollars of tax money each year and the average rate now being paid by North Carolina and its poli tical subdivisions is among the very highest in the United States. There must be a reduction in the tax and interest burden and I shall encourage and Institute workable local financing programs devised to secure lower in terest rates. The result would mean local and state tax reductions. The office of state treasurer is in its nature a public trusteeship. Of the ! treasurer, two qualities are demand ed ; honesty and hard work. Therefore, I make two pledges to the people'of North Carolina; first, I pledge my honesty; second, I pledge my hardest work. Farmers are pleased, generally, with the use of peat moss on tobacco plant beds this winter. Good stands of vigorous plants were secured, they report. Twenty miles of rural electric lines are being considered in Orange county with 47 farmers on the new lines pledging themselves to the use of electric refrigerators.
