The daily vacation Bible school, which has been In session at the First Baptist church for a little more than two weeks held its clos ing exercises Wednesday evening in the church auditorium. The pro gram was opened by a processional led by flag and Bible bearers. The first Item on the program proper was a demonstration by pupils of the school of the opening worship which had been used each morn ing in training pupils for leadership. This included the call to worship, repeating school motto, rehearsal of receiving offering and saluates to the Bible and the United States and Christian flags. Following this each department put on a demonstration of the work which they have been doing during the session: this consisted of Bible memory work, Bible stories in song 1 and prose, and pageantry touches which brought out the Bible truths Which the children had learned. A large audience enjoyed tills program, at the close of" which Urey were invited to go through the var 'N lous departments to see the exhibits M hand work which had been done. About 250 pupils enrolled took part In this program. Nitrate From Coal.

What is that record? It has been triumphantly keyrnoted to us today by Judge Varser and is fresh in the- memory ot a grateful peo ple. Of course, this is not the time'nor the place nor the occasion to give an accounting of the stewardship of my administration. 1 shall have an opportunity to render this account ing to many of you When the next general assembly convenes. I shall not let this moment pass, however, without taking advantage of it to put before you one Important as pect of this stewardship. This ad ministration has attempted to at tune itself to the spirit and the temper of the times and to adapt whatever advance it has achieved to the demand of the times. Reduced Taxes. In striving to bring this admin istration into harmony with the changed status of economic condi tions and with Jthe thought of this period, the question naturally arises: What have we done? What have we done that we can go to the people with and ask for their sup port and approval in carrying on the unfinished program of the state? What have we done? We have succeeded in one of the rarest and most difficult of. all governmental achievements. We have reduced taxes. The 1929 general assembly reduced taxes—taxes on property— taxes on land. This general assem bly gathered $6,750,000 of the state’s revenue, collected largely from a comparatively small group of citi zens and from corporations, and carried this vast, sum of new money back to the counties and the dis tricts of the state to do the work and pay the debts that had for merly been done with dollars col lected by the districts and counties from the general property tax. For the first time in the modern history of this state, the taxes levied by the local governments on property in 1929 were lower both in rate and in amount than thejr_were the year before. This $6,750,000 sent back to tire counties of the- state represents an average reduction in rate of 24 cents on the $100 of valuation throughout the entire state. In ac tual fact, the'reduction ranges from zero In some places to more than fifty cents in others. The true democracy of this principle was recognized in that the reduction was biggest on the places and on the people where the burden was heav iest, and where they were least able to pay. . .Jn order to effectuate this $6,750, 000 reduction in the financial bur den borne by the property tax, it has been necessary, of course, to Increase the revenue raised from I sources other than property. We | take pride in the fact that during the past fiscal year ended last Mon der the 1929 revenue act, a total tax day, the commissioner of revenue collected for the general fund, un revenue of $15,344,000. In this period of Industrial and business depres sion, this year's collections actually reached and slightly surpassed the original estimates made by the bur get bureau at the close .of the last general assembly as to the revenue collectible under the tax schedules To have reached the original budget estimate, after the prolonged period of business depression which de veloped early In the fall of 1929. indicates a faithful performance of duty by the revenue department and a fine spirit of cooperation by tha taxpayers. Another fact in which the Demo cratic party Justly takes pride Is that we have reduced the state debt. Not only have ,we decreased taxes—and expect to flJIJitnue to de crease them; we have also paid our debts. North Carolina Is one of the states in this nation that is actual ly paying its debts at a time when it is hard for any individual, any corporation, any organization, any government to pay. Think of this: Prom January 1, 1939 to June 36, 1930, a period of eighteen months, the state paid off indebtedness in the sum of $6,298,000. It put into the state’s sinking fund to pay debts $2,013,000. In all it devoted to the repayment and the amortization of debt the tremendous sum of $8, 311,000. We are doing more than paying our debts: The 1929 general assembly placed adequate safe guards around the contracting of further debts by local governments. 1 regard this as one of the most conspiclous and outstanding achieve ments of the administration. We have soundly managed the state's financial program. The bus iness of the state of North Caro lina is as efficiently and scientifi cally managed, in my opinion, as is that of the best of the strictly busi ness corporations of similar size and complexity. On the first day of July the state treasurer, with the approval of the governor and the council of state, sold $2,000,000 of bond anticipation notes, authorised by the 1927 general assembly, and running for nine months, at the un precedently low interest rate o£ 2 3-4 percent per annum. Gentle men, the state of North Carolina could not issue 2 3-4 percent notes Seasonable Suggestions (PERSONAL) A. & P. is a business, not a philanthropy, but it believes in business that makes good by satisfying consumers’ wants at least cost to th’/n.

Not only have we reduced taxes, not only have we paid debts, not. only have we soundly managed the state’s finances. We have done more than this. We have adjusted our ex penditure to our Income. This has been more difficult than tax reduc tion or the payment of debts. Dur ing the past fiscal year, we de creased the total appropriations to departments and Institutions one million dollars; and we have called upon the departments and institu tions during the coming fiscal year to- decrease their budgets two mil lion dollars in order to make sure that our expenditures during this biennium do not exceed our income. We cut all operating appropriations except the $6,500,000 made to the equalizing fund, which was not cut because it was a tax reduction meas ure and because cutting it would have necessitated the levy of addi tional taxes on property, Tills cut of three million dollars from ap propriations has necessitated the reorganization and redadjustment of our Institutions and departments and has challenged the highest ef ficiency, cooperation and patriotism of institutional and administrative leadership. It is a matter of genuine gratification to me to tell you that the administrative heads and [those In the ranks of the depart ments and institutions liave shown a remarkable spirit ot cooperation and that they are accommodating themselves to the requirements of the situation worthy of a great people and in complete justification of their leadership. Of course, we are having to do without some services that were helpful; but I am convinced that we are adjusting our expenditures to our income without impairing ma terially the services performed and with the determination to lose noth ing permanently by this policy. I do not recite this story merely to give emphasis to the saving of money—Important as tills Is, but to show that the leadership of the Democratic party means to keep faith with the taxpayer when it is entrusted with the responsibility of the management of the financial affairs of this great state. The supreme ambition of this ad ministration has been to keep its eyes lifted and its vision uncloud ed, that wc may see the state as a whole. When history comes to ap praise the contribution of this ad ministration, I believe I'could wish for nb finer thing than for him who writes the verdict to say that the Gardner administration saw North Carolina steadily and saw it whole. Let us pledge the Democratic party to seek tnt common good of all of our people in the harmon ious development of all the varied Interests of Ihe state. I believe in the Democratic party—m the great ness of its past, in the vigor of’ its justice; in the perpetuity of its poli cies, and in the glory of its future, f would preserve the party from the bitterness of factions and the wounds of fratricidal strife. At this particular moment my heart swells with the great joy to see the Dem ocratic party In North Carolina once again in the happiness of family reunion and to see the ranks, filled with more than 300,000 sons and daughters, marching to the polls under the flag of a united party, welcoming the dawn ot a greater day and the election of the entire Democratic ticket—the tick et that offers the positive guaran tee of the building of a finer state, the creation of a nobler common wealth.
