PAGE EIGHT AMENDMENTS TO BE VOTED ON Three Constitutional Amend ments and One Referen dum Will be Voted on Tuesday. There are three constitutional amendments and one referendum on issuing bonds to be voted on j?y the people of North Carolina in the coming election. What do you know about t>hem? Can you vote intelligently on them? This indifference is due, per haps, to the fact that none of the issues has a champion. As The Durham Herald says, "occasionally a voice is lifted for one of them, and occasionally a voice is raised in opposition," but there has been no intelligent discussion of the / 1 questions for the benefit of the voters and no doubt the issues will be lost through ignorance and in difference rather than real opposi tion. One provides for two more jus-| tices of the State Supreme Court, but as The Herald says, "most of the opposition is based solely on the fact that it will cost the State some $17,500 a year. It doesn't consider the fact that, the court has no more judges now than it had years ago when the business was about half what it is now. They don't consider that the judg es of the North Carolina Supreme Court bench are among the hard est worked in the country, and that a majority of the States are more considerate of their judges than North Carolina. They for get that 'every member of the Supreme Court bench couid make two or three times as much money in private practice as the State pays him to pass finally upon the laws. Not only is the State not paying the judges what they can make in private life, but is trying to work them to death. They don't get a vacation. They have to work throughout the year, and not only do they have to work in the day light, but far into the nights. Handling some four score or more The voters of Rutherford County will not be fooled by the REPUBLICAN CRY to be independent and vote for the man. THE ISSUE IS Democracy vs. Republicanism A vote for the Democratic Party is a vote for the great PRIN CIPLES OF DEMOCRACY the tried and true friend of the peo ple. A* vote for the Republican Party is a vote for special privi lege—a party with a RECORD OF BROKEN PROMISES. There is no Independent, ticket in the field. The people must choose betwen the two political parties. Democracy stands on its record—not perfect (there is no hu man agency that is perfect)—but the people have the assurance that the Democratic Party will make an honest effort to give good government, as it has given in the past. Compare the past records of both parties. DEMOCRACY REPUBLICANISM Honest and Efficient FaUe Hope.-Broken Prom ises. TAKE YOUR CHOICE [Rutherford County Democratic Executive Commith>» STOVER P. DUNAGAN, Chai™.^ cases each is a tremendous job. A Supreme Court judge can't take snap judgment on a case. Each case requires many hours of haia study, some times will require weeks of work on one important case in which a new field is to be explored. But, because it will cost $17,500 a year, the people of the State are not willing to provide sufficient judges to properly han dle the work without working the judges beyond the limits of human endurance. "Then there is the one about ; segregation of property. That will not pass because the folks would rather let millions of dollars worth of property escape taxation than to collect a small tax on it. And so long as the State puts an equal tax on cash and intangibles ,so long will that class of taxables evade its responsibility. But, the cry of favoritism has been raised and without asking what it is, the people will vote against it, that is, those who think enough about it to vote at all. "The other amendment which would make it possible to increase the number of Superior court judges without having to increase the solicitors is declared neces sary. But that is a question which the lawyers and court officers bet ter understand than the average layman. They say is is needed, and they ought to know. "The referendum is 'one issuing $2,000,000 for a loan fund to war veterans. That will probably be defeated, too, as nobody seems to be working for it, and the general attitude of voting against referen dums will snow it under. 'The fact that the loan fund now in use is not working so well is not going to help this new one. "As the three amendments are likely to be defeated, it makes it more important for the next leg islature to call a constitutional convention. Every election, almost, there is at least one proposed a mendment to the constitution. And it will be that way until that document is revised and brought up to date, thereby making it unne cessary for amendments to corns up every two years." These are matters of vital inter- THE FOREST CITY COURIER, FOREST CITY, N. C. est to the State and demand as much thought from the voters as does the question of selecting the best public officials. But they have no champions, and unless there is a decided upset, they'll be defeated without the public really knowing whether they wanted them or not.

W. C. Hightower. j W. C. Hightower, candidate for re-election for office of county cor oner, has had sufficient experience in that position to make him well ! qualified for re-election. He is well and favorably known over the en -1 tire county. As a public-spirited in dividual few can equal him. County Commissioners. The Democratic party is peculiarly fortunate in securing three able men as candidates for county com missioners. Messrs J. P. Jones, Geo. H. Blanton and A. W. Deck are all prosperous farmers and business men, who have made a success in their particular work .In view of their business ability it is fitting that they should be placed in a position of responsibility where their talents may be used for the benefit of the people as a whole. Each of these men take an enthusiastic interest and active part in the civic affairs of the county; and are public spirit ed and advocates of conservative progress. I Board of Education. On the board of education are found three other men who have also made a great success in their pri vate businesses. J. C. Hames, W. W. Nanney and J. T. Harris are known far and wide as the most conserva tive business men in Rutherford county. They are found at all times willing to co-operate in any worthy movement designed for the moral and material welfare and progress of Rutherford county and its people. Other Candidates. J.
