PREFACE
bo
>
Tlis volume is issued by the North Carolina Legislative Reference
Library in order to furnish in succinct form information about the
State, its government and institutions, which otherwise would re-
quire much investigation in many different sources. Unless other-
wise stated, the data in each case is the latest available.
Similar manuals were issued by the Secretary of State in 1903,
1005, and 1007. and by the North Carolina Historical Commission in
1009. 1011. 1013, lOir,. 1017. 101b. L921, 1923, 1925, 1927, 1929 and
1931 and 1033. The demand for these -volumes has been so great that
all editions except those of 1925 and 1927 have been exhausted.
The cut in the 1030-10:;i and 1931-1933 and 1933-1935 appropria-
tions for printing, as a result of the general condition of Slate
finances, has compelled a sharp reduction in the size and scope of
the 193i and 1033 and 1935 editions of the Manual. The sections,
"Executive Departments." "Judicial Department," "State Depart-
ments, Hoards and Commissions." "Slate Charitable and Correctional
Institutions." "Miscellaneous." and "Constitutions," which are found
in previous editions, have been omitted.

State highway work in North Carolina began in 1915 and was
conducted as an aid to the counties until 1921. when an independent
State highway system was organized, and the entire responsibility
for the construction and maintenance of that system was placed
under the State. The work continued on that basis until 1931, when
the Commission was reorganized and its duties enlarged to include
all public toads, and the counties were entirely relieved of all re-
sponsibility in relation both to maintenance and construction. The
care and custody of all county prisoners was likewise turned over
te the Star.' in 1931.
The Commission was again reorganized and its duties enlarged
in 1933 .when all prisoners, both State as well as county, were placed
under its control. The Commission now has the custody of approxi-
mately 8.000 prisoners and about 60.000 miles of highways.
The State is divided into live divisions, witli a division engineer
directly in charge of each, and each division is again divided into
five districts, with a district engineer in charge of each. The com-
missioners are not chosen by district but are commissioners at la rue
64 New Boards and Commissions
All gasoline and motor vehicle taxes are paid into the State Treas-
ury and credited to the State Highway Fund, and out of this fund
the Genera] Assembly makes a biennial appropriation for the oper-
ating expenses of the Commission, specifying the amount that can be
expended for maintenance and construction. Any surplus of highway
revenue uol covered by the appropriation remains in the State Treas-
ury, subject to action by the next General Assembly.
UTILITIES COMMISSION
Chapter 134, P. L. 1933
Stanley W i n borne. Com m issioner
F. W. Haxft, F. L. Skkly. Associate Commissioners
The Utilities Commission became an arm of the State Government
on January 1, lb,'!4. succeeding to all the functions and powers vested
in the Corporation Commission, wtih its three commisioners, which
was abolished by Chapter 134, Public Laws of 1933.
The act provided for the appointment of a Utilities Commissioner
by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate for a term
of one year and for his election at the 1934 general election for a
term of four years, with provisions for subsequent elections.
The act also provided for the appointment of two Associate Com-
missioners to be appointed by the Governor, with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate, one of whom was to hold office for one year, the
other for a period of two years. These Associate Commissioners only
act in their official capacity when called upon by the Commissioner to
sit with him for the purpose of hearing and determining controver-
sial matters. The pay of the Associates is $25 per day and actual
expenses while engaged in said hearings, the total amount not to
exceed S1.S00 per annum.
The Utilities Commission is vested with all necessary powers to
require and compel any public utility or public service corporation.
designated by the Act. to provide and furnish to the citizens of the
State reasonable service of the kind it undertakes to furnish and fix
and regulate the reasonable rates and charges to be made to the

PART III
PLATFORMS AND POLITICAL PARTIES 1934
1. State Democratic Platform.
2. State Republican Platform.
REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM
Adopted at Charlotte. April 4, 1!>.; l
The Republican party of North Carolina, in convention assembled,
adopts and promulgates this platform as a declaration of its prin-
ciples and purposes, and goes before the people of the State in the
general election to be held on November 6, 1934. with the definite
pledge that, if entrusted with power, it will enact these principles
and pledges into law :
STATE AFFAIRS
Taxation. — We hold as a fact proven by all history that any gov-
ernment which collects vast sums from the people in taxes and
spends the same according to the whims of its politicians and bene-
ficiaries will speedily become a corrupt government, and will destroy
the liberty of the individual ; that its officers will become dictatorial,
insolent and oppressive ; that it will create favored classes and
favored families, and that it will reduce its toiling masses to serf-
dom. We further hold as a fact that a multiplicity of office holders,
Federal. State, county and municipal, is contrary to the genius of a
free and self-governing people, and ought not to be tolerated. There-
fore we pledge the Republican party to the performance of the fol-
lowing propositions :
(1) To decentralize the State government at Raleigh ami return
the government to the people in their proper governmental units;
to the abolition of the numerous and unnecessary bureaus, boards,
and commissions that have been set up mainly for the benefit of
politicians and their lieutenants; to take the State government out
of business and industry and to stop its intermeddling with legiti-
mate business and industry: and thus, in part, save to the people
the present enormous and scandalous cost of government.
( 1' l To determine beforehand the amount of revenue obtainable
by just taxes and then ullage expenditures to come within that
amount.
(.*!i We deplore the fact that the extravagance and mismanage-
ment of the Democratic party has brought about the enactment of a
sales tax law. and we condemn the manner and methods in which
it is being administered, and we believe that by strict economy and
the elimination of useless office holders ii can be dispensed with
i 0 Political Platforms
withoul increasing our tax burdens on lands or impairing our school
system.
(4 1 To reduce the price of private passenger automobile license
plates to $5 each.
Highways
We know that this State is too pom- and is too sorely burdened
with taxes now to permit any further highway construction in the
immediate future. Therefore the Republican party will, if entrusted
with power :
(1) Discontinue all highway construction until the State has paid
for the highways already constructed.
(2) Keep in good repair the highways already constructed, at
cost of the State.
(3) Apply all revenue derived from gasoline tax and license plates
to the payment of bonds issued and outstanding for highway con-
struction, and the proper maintenance of the highways.
Education
We hold that a free people, to remain free, must be a thinking
people : and. to be truly progressive, must be an educated people.
But we also hold these facts are self-evident :
(1) That the free school is a necessity in a free government.
(2) That the educational system of the State should not be a
political spoils system, and should not be a part of a political party's
patronage.
Therefore we pledge the Republican party, if entrusted with power,
to take the educational system out of politics ; to give preference,
all things being equal, to North Carolinians, graduates of North
Carolina colleges, for employment as teachers ; to make character
and qualification, rather than political party alignment, the neces-
sary requisites for teachers employed; to create an educational sys-
tem that will have regard to the individual talent of pupils ; to
require the teaching of morals, obedience to law. respect for proper
authority, and a love for our country and its institutions and his-
tory ; in short, to give to this State an educational system that will
put some soul into our civilization ; to abandon numerous unneces-
sary expenses connected with the schools: to eliminate the expense
of the centralized administration of the school system: to see that
all taxes and all moneys collected for school purposes shall be spent
Republican State Platform 71
on the schools and not on politicians; to pay the teachers reasonable
salaries for efficient work, and to provide safe 1ms transportation
for pupils where such transportation is absolutely necessary.
Liquor
We pledge the Republican party to the people of this State, if
entrusted with power, that the sale of intoxicating liquors shall not
be legalized in North Carolina, and to make an honest effort to drive
every bootlegger from the State. Bootlegging can be effectually
suppressed in North Carolina by the election and employment of
officers who desire to uphold the law and have the courage to yield
neither to temptation nor fear of the bootlegger. And we further
pledge ourselves to demand that the Federal Government shall pro-
tect this State from the importation of liquor into its borders, so
long as it remains dry, as guaranteed by the Twenty-first Amend-
ment to the Constitution of the United States.
Elections and Election Law s
Frequent, fair and honest elections are necessary in a self-govern-
ing state, to prevent tyranny and to promote respect for government.
The election laws in this State are unfair to the minority, and their
administration by the majority is often inexcusable and indefen-
sible. The expense of elections in this State is unwarrantably high.
Therefore the Republican party pledges itself to the people, if en-
trusted with power, that it will provide for and require fair and
honest elections :
(1) By the appointment of a registrar for each political party in
each precinct, and one judge of election.
(2) By requiring the registration of voters to be kept constantly
up to date, so that "repeaters" cannot vote under the names of
strangers and dead persons.
i .". » By the repeal of the absentee voters ballot law.
(4) By reducing the costs of elections, and
(5) By requiring each political party which conducts a primary
for the nomination of candidates for office to pay the expenses of
such primary.
72 Political Platforms
Transportation
When the people of this State built their system of highways they
• lid not build them to he used as railroads; such use will speedily
destroy them. Therefore the Republican party pledges itself to
enact legislation to preserve the highways from destruction by over-
loading and to secure fair competition in transportation between
railroads on the one hand and busses and trucks on the other hand.
Lobby j si s
There is no proper legal place for a paid, professional, or official
lobbyist in or about the Legislature of North Carolina. To tolerate
lobbyists is to endanger justice. Therefore the Republican party
pledges the people of this State, if entrusted with power, to enact
such legislation as will effectually prevent lobbying by making it a
(Time both by the paid, professional, or official lobbyist and his
employer.
Minority Representation
Forty-five per cent of the white people in North Carolina pay 45
per cent of the taxes to the State. They happen to be Republicans.
But this 45 per cent of our white people have no representation in
or on the administrative affairs of this State. This is bad business,
poor economics, and a moral wrong. The Republican party, there-
fore, pledges itself, if entrusted with power, to give generous minor-
ity representation in all administrative affairs of the State.
Power and Telephone Rates
The Republican party recognizes the complaint that power and
telephone rates are excessive in North Carolina, and pledges itself
to make a thorough investigation of such rates, publish its findings
to the people of the State, and reduce such rates to what the service
is found to be reasonably worth.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS
Tobacco Taxes. — In justice to the grower and the consumer of
tobacco, the Republican party pledges itself and its candidates for
representative in the Congress to strive for and vote for a substan-
tial reduction in Federal taxes on manufactured tobacco, and that a
Republican State Platform 7:'.
just portion of this tax be returned to North Carolina t>y the Federal
Government.
Capital and Labor
The Republican party believes that capital is entitled to a fair
return on its investment, and that honest labor is entitled to a wage
commensurate with the American standard of living. It will defend
the right of labor to organize and bargain collectively, and will hold
that the relation of capital and labor is contractual and not dic-
tatorial. But it warns capital that it must be just if it would be
secure; and it warns labor that communism means cruel slavery.
and that the power of government to decree a 30-hour week at a
minimum wage is also the power to decree a 70-hour week with no
increase in wage.
Republican Principles
The Republican party renews its dedication to its time honored
principles which have made this nation the most glorious beacon on
any of the shores of time, and therefore pledges itself to uphold the
principle of a protective tariff in favor of American labor; to main-
tain a sound currency; to preserve the immigration laws to the end
that as few foreigners as possible shall be allowed to enter the
country to remain permanently: to return and preserve to the states
their undelegated authority ; to restore to the individual his rights
and freedom, both of which are being usurped rapidly and surely :
to preserve a free press, free speech and free assembly: to preserve
the American form of government as a liberal democracy, and to
preserve the Constitution of the United States as our guaranty of
liberty.
The Republican Party and the Republic
The Republican party of North Carolina urges the Republican
party of the nation to give solemn notice that it will not compro-
mise on any moral issue, nor condone any surrender of the sovereign
rights of the American people.
74
DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM
Adopted at Raleigh, .Tunc 21, 1934.
The platform adopted by the Democratic State Convention follows
in full :
Tin- Democratic party of North Carolina in convention assembled
reaffirms its devotion to the time honored principles of our party,
and calls upon the people to renew their devotion to the institutions
of our country and the constitutions of our State and Nation.
MET SUPREME EMERGENCY
Once again the Democratic- party has met a supreme emergency
in national affairs and provided an administration capable of meet-
ing a great crisis. We endorse the administration of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, personal leadership, courage and broad-minded vision.
We endorse the support which has been accorded him by our Demo-
cratic Congress. His administration faced at its beginning problems
of greater magnitude than those of any other time, including the
World War. Torn by the economic maladjustment, our people were
in despair. To them our party has given hope, and that hope has
been fulfilled. We endorse the recovery program of this administra-
tion looking as it does to the welfare of all the people ; and we com-
mend to the citizens of this State their loyal allegiance to the efforts
now under way to relieve distress and unemployment, improve the
status of trade, industry, labor and agriculture, and equalize the
opportunities of every man and woman to enjoy a larger and fuller
life.
We commend the record of our servants in the national Congress,
both Senatoi's and Representatives: they have been faithful to their
duties, true to their party, and have proven themselves representa-
tives of democracy.
EHRINGHAI'S COMMEN1 »E1 »
We endorse the faithful and efficient administration of all de-
partments of the State Government by Democratic State officials.
We especially endorse and commend the administration of Governor
J. C. B. Ehringhaus. the constructive legislation enacted with his
Democratic State Platform
recommendation and approval, and the careful supervision he bas
given to every phase of the State's activities.
The Democratic party, in the State as in the Nation, continues to
be the party of public education and advancement. In 1933, reject-
ing counsel of defeatism and despair, North Carolina renewed its
faith in the courage and character of its citizenship, and in the
darkest days of the depression not only maintained its good name
and credit in the money markets, but moved forward to the very
front of all the states in state support of public schools for the full
term of eight months, at the same time lightening the intolerable
burden of property taxation and leaving it for local purposes.
PLEDGES SCHOOL SUPPORT
The Democratic party again pledges its faith to the principles of
State support of the public schools for the full term of eight months,
without resort to ad valorem taxation, and makes its promise of a
reasonable increase in the salaries of teachers by direct appropria-
tion for that purpose if adequate revenue can safely be found.
The Democratic party seeks to establish and maintain conditio
in the nation under which all men may work effectively and enjoy
the fruits of their labor. We regard with confidence and approval
efforts of the present administration to equalize opportunity and
recommend favorable consideration for state measures in co-opera-
tion with the national program looking to that end. Careful study
should be given unemployment and old age insurance as possible
devices for promoting tbe happiness and well being oC the people.
For .°..ri years the Democratic party in North Carolina has striven
to serve the great people who have trusted it with the administration
of their public affairs. We have kept the faith. We go on with the
great past. We do not make our appeal for continued confidence
upon empty pledges not expected to be redeemed, lint upon tbe actual
performance of these fruitful years. In all confidence we submit
this platform to a just people, content that it he appraised in the
light of our party's record.
We rejoice that in recent elections many members of the opposite
party have joined us in the support of the principles and policies
here enumerated. We welcome these and all other forward looking
men and women to the task of promoting tbe social, economic and
material development of our State.
