Und taxes have been steadily
ri&ag* i?. thia State fimj m j **?**
The inerease amounts to thirty per
cent a year every year fex eleven
Vean. And under the mmmb
there is certainty that tfcsjr,J
tinne to rise. I hold that ,
louring more than its jipt^
the .burden of taxes, and j[
must so change the sjstfm
shift the burden. My oppoqw
ly defends- the pieesut systeqi.
I am' opposed to any fovea on
land,' or property, for State por
poses. '
I hold that when the $t|t? ex
empted from taxation mote than
$116,000,000.00 worth of . stocks |n
foreign corporations it dif^'a great
^roeng. On thia subject my opponent
says nothing. TJiis one act
men tkfcn a and it
dollars to taxes on land*. It took
that much frtm the taxes' of the
wealthy and put ii on property?
mainly land.
? The election June Till will de
termine whether land taxis will eon-'
tinue' to increase.
^ n. The second big question be
controL
So long as we have machine control
we .will .have control by and ? for
specially favored interests.
The people can manage the Dem
ocratic Party, and they can take
eare of it.
Ail the progress that ever was
made was made in spite .of the rul
ing powers, y ,
' Machines operate in politics by
metuiii ot money; an?l they pay tlio
money back at the public^ expense.
Machines are maintained tot the
batoflt of a few. They give the
people only what they dare not re
fuse/ j.
We ma t put an end to this sort
of thing or the people will lose con
fidence in, the Democratic Party.
Ofllet- holders have no right to dietr.re
to votus of, the State by seerotiy
nominating candidates for olnc?? fcr
two, ;hree and four terms in advened.
I am in favor of the Australian
Ballot an?T of couit review of
election luturns.The Australian Bel
lot will give the voters secrecy invot
ingand wiU make the purchase of votes
difficult and will tend to put an end
to the power of money in polities.
My opponent is silent on this sub
ject, and is. defending our present
election and primary laws.
This Question also will be settled
June 7th. The line has been clearly
drawn, /y- ; i. V,v .
IH The thira big question bo*
for us is the question of fnright
rates, / I
' I propose to, resent to the fullest
extent the diseriminatlcn#~ against
North Carolina in favor of Vininia, j
and also to resist the psoposM in- !
crease of freight rates, i. hold that
since the Atlantis Coast I4oe is now
making more than twenty: per cent
on its capital, and the &>uthern
Railway is paying dividends at the
rate of Ave per cent a year on $120,
000^00.00 of watered eouunon stock,
there is no necessity for increasing
freight rates;, and I remind all our
people that increased freight charges
will increase the cost of living. My
opponent is silent on the question of
lower ?reight.j?tef. :
It is the Primary, June 7lh, vote
that will decide *11 of theoe issues;
Vote eariy and then stand by and
