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.
