TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
OF MARTIN COUNTY
Upon the eve of the Democratic Primary, I
desire to submit my candidacy (or re-election to
the office of Judge of Martin County Recorder's
Court, especially seeking to reach those whom I
have been unable to see, with full assurance that
I will be profoundly grateful for every favor that
may be extended me.
I sincerely appreciate the expressions of con
- fidence and friendship during the campaign
and for every courtesy and consideration shown
me by my friends and acquaintances, I would now
express my sincere thanks, with full assurance to
the voters of this County that if I am again hon
ored by having the duties of this office placed
with me, I will, in all matters, seek to justify the
confidence imposed in me.
I JOS. W. BAILEY
RECOMMENDS
ECONOMY IN
GOVERNMENT
(Continued from page one)
| been handled in a very careless manner
I in the past.
I 5. We understand that it has been
I the custom of our County Commis
j sioners to keep Federal Prisoners in
our County jail and that the Federal
Government has only been paying the
sum of 65 cents per day. We feel this
is noT~sTJfticieiit compensation, and
unless the Federal Government- will
pay as much as SI.OO per day for each
prisoner we recommend that they do
not take any more prisoners of this
type unless compelled to do so by the
Federal Government.
6. We recommend that less money
he spent on our County Home and
County Farm and County Jail.
A. We recommend that the salary
of the Superintendent of the County
Home be reduced to $50.00 jx-r month,
am' that he be required to secure a
requisition from either the Clerk of the
Court or the Register of Deeds wljich
officer shall be designated by our
Coullty Board of Commissioners, lie
lore making any purchases whatsoever
for the County Home or any other de
partment of the County.
7. We also recommend that all local
School Committees over the County
make out their budgets, having always
in mind the most economical methods
possible in conducting the various
schools, and that no funds be requested
in the budget which is not absolutely
essential to the proper conduct of their
schools. That all frivolous and fictitious
items he entirely eliminated.
A. We further recommend that we
fall in line with the State Department
in reducing the expenses of our County
School system. All higher institutions
of the State have already been notified
that their appropriations will he cut
20 per cent this year.
B. We recommend that no teacher
in the future be employed for the ele
mentary departments of our schools
with a salary rating of more than
SIIO.OO per month. This is not to ap
ply to teachers already employed in the
schools
C. That no supplements be paid to
any teacher for atheletics, or any other
unnecessary extra activities. That the
only supplements which will be recom
mended and allowed is that for th(
superintendents of the various schools
We find that some schools are- paying
for extra teachers out of the local funds
beyond the number of teachers allow
ed according to the daily attendance
for the past year.
D. We find that school teachers in
the various schools of Martin County
ar being supplemented in the enorm
ous sum of $10,564.90 per year. This
you understand, friends, varies with
the schools, but if you are in a special
tax district you pay; as this does not
come out of the County or State funds.
F'ach school district i* responsible for
the supplements paid to its teachers.
Even if we should secure an addition
al $5,000.00 from the State Equaliza
tion) fund it will do you no. good in
case of supplements.
ruiLiiMiD wan
TV-PAY *M, ™.OAT
F.. We find that the Board of Edu
cation js being severely criticised on ac
count of the supplements being paid to
tc;.chers. This is unjust, as this mat
ter is entirely in the hands of the local
committees and they should hear the
blame for any such waste of local
funds. All supplements of whatever
nature or amount is paid entirely out
of your local district taxes. Our , cit
izens should investigate these expendi
tures and condemn those responsible
for such flagrant waste of their tfioney.
Let us see if we cannot run our schools
with less teachers and on a more eco
nomical basis. There is no need of go
ing the limit of the law in the number
of teachers employed, but let-us school
committees see if we cannot get along
with less teachers.
i£. That the Board )ft Education
should scrutinize very cjtfsdy each and
every school budget submitted to them
and eliminate any item which it not ab
solutely essential to the proper conduct
of the school. That teachers are em
ployed according to their fitness for
teaching at less rating than are now be
ing paid in many instances.
;. That the County Board of Com
missioners scrutinize the budget pre
sented to them by the Board of "Educa
tion more closely than they have been
doing Heretofore. That they examine
thoroughly the different budgets sub
mitted by the various schools over the
County, and eliminate any frivolous
items or any request that is not abso
lutely essential to the proper conduct
of the school. Your committee feels
that in too many instances a mere re
quest has been granted by our Com
missioners,. when ' they would have
changed their minds and acted dif
ferently if they had only made a littlt
investigation.
8. That'the office of County Treas
urer be abolished, if a bank can be hac
that will handle the County fundi
without extra pay. This of course must
be done by an act of the Legislature
This will net a saving to the Count}
oi $1,200.00 per year.
9. That no officer of the County trade
i r contract with himself We understand
this is being done in our County and
we especially recommend that it be
stepped at once, or that the law be ap
plied in such cases.
JO. We recommend that the salaries
of the Judge of the County Court be
reduced to $75.00 per month and that
the salary of the Solicitor of the above
Court !>e reduced to $50.00 per month.
That two days per month be devoted to
hearing such cases as come before the
Ccunty Court. We would suggest every
other week.
11. We especially request that all
lawyer* and Court Officials do all with
in their power to conduct our Courts
on a more economical and efficient
basis. We find that money is being
wasted by having witnesses attend
court when there is no possible chance
to reach the case, that juror* are be
ing summoned in a careless and waste
ful manner. That the court is wasting
time by allowing attorneys to spend
more time than necessary in examining
witnesses and for some small or ir
relevant matter court is often adjourn
ed, thereby wasting time and money.
V\ e believe our lawyers and judges
could save the County an enormous
sum each., year if they would conduct
the courts on a more business like
basis and eliminate the waste of time.
A. The Superior Court of Martin
County cost us $4,709.24 for the year
lof 19 29, and we are to have two ex
tra terms for the year 1930. We under
stand that the Court Stenographer is
paid SIO.OO per day and all expenses.
This, we feel, is out of line with other
salaries and certainly out of line with
conditions of today.
B. Our County Court cost $3,340.07
for the year of 1929 and from all ap
pearances it will cost more for the year
•if 1930.
We recommend that Superintendent
of Board of Educaiton be paid a speci
fied salary and that he provide his au
tomobile and transportation and other
expenses.
Your committee wishes to thank Mr.
LSam Getsinger, our Register of
eds, and Mr. R. A. Pope, our County
Superintendent of Public Education,
for their untirinp aid and assistance
during our examination of the County
affairs.
We have now passed over the peak
of finances and are on the road down
to normalcy. This is the time to steer
the old ship of state carefully and we
feel safe that we will reach port. Other
wise wc are bound to wreck our ship
on the rocks of extravagance.
Respectfully submitted, this May
30. 1930.

THE SNTKRPKISE
Increase Pensions for The
~ Spanish War Veterans
Washington, D. C., June 4.—Repre
sentative I.iiidsay Warren states that
all Spanish War Veterans who will
benefit by the recent bill passed by
Congress over the veto of President
Hoover must file application with the
Pension Bureau to receive the bene
fits of the new law. The measure pro
vides for increased pensions, and also
makes eligible for pension certain vet
erans heretofore ineligible. Mr. War
ren states that when application is filed,
th>' veteran should not list his disabili
ties on the sixteenth of the application
where space is provided for stating rea
sons for applying for the increase, but
to write there instead, "under provis
ions of the act of Congress, dated June
2. 1930."
Mr. Warren, who has always taken
a deep interest in the veterans of the
war with Spain, voted to pass the bill
over the veto of the President.

That Uncle Sam expects much of

stock survey being made right now
through the rural mail carriers. Thus
the Post Office and the Agricultural
Departments cooperate utilizing
their regular machinery for the pub

The carrier delivers one of these
cards to a few farmers on his route.
If the farmer has sows, cows, or
sheep, he is to All out his card com
'pletely and put back into his mail

I These cards are sent to Raleigh,
'where the Crop Reporting Service
'compiles them into results that show
I whether, for instance, the number of
| pigs and brood sows are more or less,
the pigs per litter saved; the fall and
spring farrowing results, and othei
i information helpful to farmers in
I planning their future breeding.
The livestock reaulta for all States
will be published late in June, which
will serve aa a guide to the probable
competition to be expected. These
surveys were not begun until 1924,
but have already stabilised the breed
ing and marketing to a marked de
