I To the Democrat Voters of Macon County: Again I am before you as a can didate to succeed myself in the next General Assembly of North Carolina. First let my say I am a Democrat, as I have been for more than half a century, and this is said with no disrespect of any true Republican, for we must have two major parties. You 'have my record for all my life as a neighbor, a citizen and a tax payer. You also have a record of my stewardship in the last General As sembly. To claim perfection in any line of work is wrong irom the be ginning. I did my best, and, as I was a member of eleven different com mittees, I could not give the service needed on all. I had to confine most of my time to about Vi of them ? Agriculture, Appropriations, Educa tion, Conservation and Development, Public Welfare, Wild Life and Library (Joint) got most of my time. So you have my record of vote and service both in committee and floor of the house. Please search, then take it as it is. In 1957 our reprfsentative, Mr. G. L. Houk, get up our present system of county government (and I will say it was long past due). In the bill he had a maximum and a minimum salary scale. I found the Sheriff's office was drawing the maximum, the Register of Deeds and the Clerk of Court the min imum. The only thing I did in that was to even up their salary under the 1957 law. I did not raise the Sheriff, as has been and Is being told. I do not know if I was right or wrong, but I thought I was right. Another local change was our tax collection. What I did in that was put our county under the state tax law ? G.E>. 105-345, which all i other counties in the state work under. I do not know if that is best for a majority of our taxpayers or not, but the county tax collector tells me the commissioners have not had to go to the bank or any other source, and borrow money to pay our teachers, county officers and other obligations, like they have had to do In times past. Should this law be a burden to the majority of our tax payers, I will be first to amend or change It to where it will fit the majority, for I surely believe in majority rule. I did this on my own with the idea* of helping, not hurting. I know this would not work to an advantage back yonder when we listed our taxes in April, but since we list in January and know the amount we list and know the county rate, we know how much we owe the county, then we have the opportunity of paying our tax at par or a chance of a 2% discount, it Is al most a full year before the penalty would start. Now, let's think a little about the future and things I stand for and shall work for. No doubt education is our number one problem. I am for advancing educationally just as fast as our economy will allow. Fact is, I am for United Forces of Education Program and goal just as fast as we can work and reach that goal. Right along this same line, let me say I favor and shall work for a fourteen member highway commission and one of those members for one of the five counties of this Senatorial District. If we can't get our children to school, they cannot be taught. I ?hall also fight for an amendment to highway right of way law. There is no reason at all for a 60 foot right of way for Vi. Vi, % or even one mile dead end road with three to six families living on it. We do not need more than 30 feet right of way for such branch-head roads. I am for better pay for teachers, bus drivers, janitors, under-paid highway workers, increase in Social Security with 18 years instead of 20, so that our teachers who have spent the best part of life teaching at $25 per month may have a reasonable livelihood in their old age. Also old age assistance should be increased. But when we look at all our many problems, we must keep an open eye on our ability to meet them. Our economy must be strong, so that when any state employe comes up at the end of the month with his or her check the cash will be ready and not be turned back with the sad words "you will have to wait", as some of our states had to do. What I am trying to say is, no candidate should promise any unheard of things he or she is going to do, knowing at the time they cannot do it. I am just not going to do that. But being a taxpayer in our county for 55 years, from poll tax to $130.00 a year, I am for our tax dollar going just as far as humanly possible. I am for our county and state moving forward as she has done for the last half century. I served you the best I could as a new mem ber. I hope I may be able to serve you better in 1961, and with your coopera tion, I know I can. I promise you my undivided, unbiased and cooperative service, for I am your servant and solicit your support on May 28th. (Paid Political Adv.) J. "M.
