The supervision and control of
public service corporations is a
well recognized ' right of the
State and national governments,
j and we pledge ourselves to the
enforcement of this right in the
interest of the people of the
State, consistent with fair and
just treatment to the public serv
ice corporations and no public
service corporations shall grant
any special privileges, or other
favor, to any person or corpora
tion.
We are opposed to, and de
mand the suppression of trusts
and monopolies, and favor the
enactment of such laws in both
State and nation, with such nec
cessary machinery and powers
as will make their existence im
possible. We believe that guilt
is personal, as well as corporate,
and we demand that all anti
trust laws be enforced both by
the civil and criminal procesess
of our courts.
We denounce protection as a
robbery of the many to enrich
tne few, and we favor a tariff
limited to the needs of the KOV
ernment, economically adminis
tered, and so levied as not to dis
criminate against any industry,
class or section, to the end that
the burdens of taxation shall be
distributed as equally as possible.
We favor a revision and reduc
tion of the tariff to a revenue
basis by the friends of the masses
and for the common weal, and
not by the friends of its abuses,
its extortions and its discrimina
tions, keeping in view the ulti
mate "equality of burdens and
equality of opportunities" and
the constitutional purpose of
raising a revenue by taxation,
to-wit: the support of the Federal
government in all of its integrity
and virility but in simplicity.
We heartily endorre the record
of our Senators and Representa
tives in the Congress of the
United States, and the adminis
tration of our State's affairs by
our Governor and other State
officers.
We have faith and confidence
in the intelligence and patriotism
of the people of the State, and in
the ultimate develf pment of our
unrivaled natural resources, and
we call upon all North Carolinians
to unite in one common effort to
continue in power the adminis
tration of the party under whose
government the State has made
such rapid strides and develop
ments since its advent to power.
