REPRINTED BY REQUEST i -A' , . , - .1 KENANSV1LLB, NORTH CAROLINA i FRIDAY, JUNE 3rd., 1949 No. 23 I did not vote for Kerr Scott for Governor and I have no apologies to mafte. I did not agree with every thing he proposed, and neither did I agree with .every thing Charlie Johnson proposed. Maybe my decision In fhnip was haspH nn ihf lpsspr of two evils. Kerr thing Cnarlie Johnson proposed. Maybe my decision In choifce was based on the lesser of two evils. Kerr 3viH- i'c m TlomnfiMt on4 Vio ursic aIopIpH T am a Dprnn. srat and so am going along with the Governor on his constructive undertakings. At firsts, was inclined to be against the road bond ' issue but favorable to the school bond issue. After study ing the matter and securing what information I could I came to the conclusion that the two are interlocking. What is the advantage of better school buildings if we do not have the roads to transport the children? Why attemDt to improve our farming activities when we do not have adequate farm to market roads? Why are city folks entitled to more good roads than are the co.untry folks when all alike have to pay for them?. Since 1920 the farmers have been paying for roads in North Caro lina designed primarily to help those living in cities. Now it's time for fair play, it's time for the country people to. have more and better roads. We helped pay snuawk and we exoect the ?ity folks to help pay for our roads without any squawk. But we know, however, they will squawk and are squaw king loudly now with the aid of moneys being spent in this State from 'outside sources in an effort to kill the foad bond issue. It is eternally true when large sums oi money are spent by corporations "or individuals to de feat any proposal th'ajt is designed to help the people as a whole, those doing the spending are showing their true colors by putting selfishness above service. The huge bond issue in 1920 will be paid off in 1953. No one can say he or she suffered from taxation to pay for the road building. The proposed bond issue of $200, 000,000 to be voted in June 4th will be paid the same way Therewill not be -one cent of tax levied on real year than he wm spenu ui u The savings on school bus repairs and upkeep will run So h3eds of thousands of dollars each year.
