aages to that body.
*'I expect to disc?iss other sub
of public nmc rn in later

1 have In mind are: The ex
ecutive budget, administratis re
form, the banUine, laws, th? is.su
anr.e and sale of storks nod other
securities, conservation and devel
opment, freight rales and water
transportation, reform in judicial
procedure, the regulation of cem
merclal trah'ic on the highways,
regulating the holding of piimir
ies and flections, the I rea tm^nl of
labor, increase of crime, law ? n
forcement. and otli? r measures
which may contribute to the s? lis
Ible and more effective solution <t
our economic and welfare- prob
lem* generally."
Throughout Ills addr?-s, Coy. 1
nor McLean stressed tcotiomy in
government. He brouuht this
principle into play in dealing with
every subject touch* d upon.
.The speaker committed himself
unqualifiedly to the cause c-f nlu
cation. It was the first topic
which he definitely discuss* d. 11?
linked It with agricultural 1m
provement and rural betternont.
declaring: "If I should l>e asked
to say what 1 found to be the out
standing needs in hforth Carolina,
as I visualized them during my
travels covering some 40 thousand
miles in 98 counties in the past
12 months. I would unhesitating
ly reply: Agricultural impro\?<
mcnt and rural betterment. If 1
should then be a^k-d t.? i- -i
what 1 considered tin- prim, r- m
edy for supplying this nr d. I
would say: More education, both
? academic and vocational. When I
[ refer to vocational education in
this connection I mean training in
scientific and practical agricul
ture."
Further, he made an urgent
plea for continued equalization, of
school facilities among rural chil
dren. "I hope the day will soon
come," he said, "when every boy
?? and girl in the most remote ru-al
sections of the State will have the
opportunity for at least a high
school education. We must con
stantly strive to reach this goal."
"Among the subjects
Business in (JitvorniiKiit
During his discussion ol econ
omy In government. Governor Mc
Lean declared that pound econom
lc principles should b<* applied In
government as well as to prlvati
business. He urKed a policy that
will call for the great en! aervlco
at a in I n i in 11 m cost. "The u It I -
mate goal for which we should
constantly strive." Iw assert* <1. "i.<
to aee that the government is ad
ministered wisely, honestly, effi
ciently and economically."
The debt of the Stat-' and It
subdivisions. Individually and
collectively, was discuss' d l?y t It
new Governor at some length. He
declared that It Is tiiu?- to call a
halt, to take stock The total
debt of the State and all Us sub
divisions, he pointed out. is now
more than $300,000,000. "Ii
taxes are too heavy," he warned,
"the efficacy of government Is de
stroyed." He continued: "l'ti??
llc s?rvice becomes first a hand!
cap and Iheti an lntol< rahl- bur
den. Confluence is weaken* d and
-/co-operation made Impossible."
The wise traveler, he d? clan d.
rests a while at the waysid' Irn
befor?- continuing his Journey.
"Let us follow this example by
resting for 9 little while on our
Journey for the purpose of re
freshing ourselves and starting
again with a fresh impulse and
renewed strength In the form of
Increased wealth and tar payJn?
power. In order thnt we may reach
the end of the Journey in safety.""
Oovemor McLean was unstint
ed In his prslse of what the Stat'
has done In the construction of
hlghwayr. crlppl'd. Hut he w.i
not ready at this time to make
definite recommendations as to
the further financing of the Stale
highway system. He reviewed
Several proposed plans and ven
tured the assertion that und? r
whatever future moncy-ralslnx
plan the State adopts, highways
will be taken Into full considera
tion.
During the course of his Inaut
ural address. Governor McLean
declared: "I am oppoaed to levy
ing any tax for slate purposes up
on real estate or personal proper
ty. H must be apparent to ev? ry
thlnkiiiK man t hat real estate,
peclally farm lands. Is already
bearing a heavy burden in many
counties, a burden none the lest,
heavy becaute Incurred for local
taxation and local schools."
. Governor McLean declared that
Institution* for the unfortunate
defective must not be crip
? urged the Legislature to
? a survey of the present ays
tem of local taxation and to enact
neneral leglalatlon looking toward
th? elimination of any Inequalities
