Resolved: That this body of citizens and tax-payers of Stokes county realizing the protection and benefits derived from organized and decent government, heartily favor any reasonable tax that may lie levied for the support and main tenance of same, —national, state 1 and county. 2. Realizing the innumerable bene fits and pleasures derived from edu cation, and fully convinced of the • fact that "Wbrre the>v is no vision the people perish." and that "Chris tian c'hmWon is the hope of the world" —be it further resolved that we pledge our loyal supnort to, and willing payment of. any reasonable tax for the promotion of education. 3. R solved: That we favor a wise, econr.niHal. and equitable appropria tion ar.'l expenditure >f our taxes by our ot!ictal s in charge of same. We -trotigly advocate the wisdom of -uch a policy, in that the American i cop! • need to learn to lie more eco nomical, and renew tiieir allegiance to at least one abiding orineiple of their forefathers, who founded this Republic; namely, that -ill men are reated equal, and that n.>ne are to have special privileges in this land dedicated to equality and to the (iod justice. I. Resolved: Because •»f its more (i!"se conformity to this ivtl Ameri can spirit if equality 1 and believing that it is indeed a ft vat advance to ward equality of e l 't; , ::t'inti'l oppor tunity, that we heartily a'tpvovo and endorse the "founty-wid" |dnn" and work of our State and eourity Super intendents of public in.-trtictiun; State and county boards of educa tion, and the great mass of our edu cational lenders in N'oib '.'uro'it.a, who have labored so faithfully to promote duration in our county .aid state. 5. Resolved: That we commend our County Superintendent and Board of Education for the just and economic school budget worked out according to law, several months ago and sub mitted to our Board of County Com missioners for their approval. Especially do we approve of a building fund which in conformity to the principle of equality of edu cational opportunity, will meet the requirements of Sec. 28, Art. 3 of North Carolina School Law, which follows: "It is the duty '■ f 'he county board of education to provide an , adequate school system for the bene- Vt of all the children of the county, as directed by law. The Board of EducatiofKshall so district the vounty and locate the schools that elemen tary and high school instruction may be available for all children of the county." •>. Resolved: That we most hear tily approve and endorse (he resolu tion discussed last March at Raleigh ly the North f Carolina Education Association favoring a statewide uniform tax, the intent of which is to give to every child in our State an equal opportunity to a primary, grammar grade, and high school and furthermore, that we hereby respectfully petition the next legislature of North Carolina to pass such a law. 7. Resolved: That we condemn the action of the officials of the Perma nent Tax Committee meeting in Panbury on September 7. 1925, in refusing citizen s and tax-payers of the county the right to speak on a question of importance under dis cussion before the vote was taken on same. In view of the apparent unwilling ness on the part of a considerable number of our fellow citizens to pay the present assessed taxes in our ' county and desiring that the progres sive people of our state may know that we are willingly and gladly STOKES COURT JURORS DRAWN j T«» Serve At October Term Of Criminal and v'iv : l Court, Convening October 19th.
