PREFACE
This 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,
1905, and 1907, and by the North Carolina Historical Commission in
1909, 1911, 1913, 1915, 1917, 1919, 1921, 1923, 1925, 1927, 1929 and
by the Legislative Reference Library in 1931, 1933, and 1935. The
demand for these volumes has been so great that all editions except
those of 1935 have been exhausted.
The cut in the appropriations for printing, as a result of the gen-
eral condition of State finances, has compelled a sharp reduction in
the size and scope of editions of the Manual in recent years.

Previous Question
57. The previous question shall be as follows: "Shall the main
question be now put?" and, until it is decided, shall preclude all
amendments and debate. If this question shall be decided in the
affirmative, the "main question" shall be on the passage of the
bill, resolution, or other matter under consideration; but when
amendments are pending, the question shall be taken upon such
amendments, in inverse order, without further debate or amend-
ment. If such question be decided in the negative, the main
question shall be considered as remaining under debate: Provided,
that no one shall move the previous question except the member
submitting the report on the bill or other matter under considera-
tion, and the member introducing the bill or other matter under
consideration, cr the member in charge of the measure, who shall
be designated by the chairman of the committee reporting the

consideration on the table, or move an adjournment, ansi -.vhen
both or either of these motions are pending the question shall
stand:

( 2 ) To adjourn.
(3) To lay on the table.
And then upon the main question, or amendments, or the mo-
tion to po.stpone indefinitely, postpone to a day certain, to commit,
Rules of House of Representatives 49
or amend, in the order of their precedence, until the main ques-
tion is reached or disposed of; but after the previous question has
been called by a majority, no motion, or amendment, or debate
shall be in order.
All motions below the motions to lay on the table must be
made prior to a motion for the previous question; but, pending
and not after the second therefor, by the majority of the House,
a motion to adjourn or lay on the table, or both, are in order.
This constitutes the precedence of the motions to adjourn and lay
on the table over other motions, in Rule 2 5.
Motions stand as follows in order of precedence in Rule 26:
Previous question.
Adjourn.
Lay on the table.
Postpone definitely.
To commit or amend.
When the previous question is called, all motions below it fall,
unless made prior to the call, and all motions above it fall after
its second by a majority required. Pending the second, the mo-
tions to adjourn and lay on the table are in order, but not after
a second. When in order and every motion is before the House,
the question stands as follows:
Previous question.
Adjourn.
Lay on the table.
Postpone indefinitely.
Postpone definitely.
To commit.
Amendment to amendment.
Amendment.
Substitute.
Bill.
The previous question covers all other motions when seconded
by a majority of the House, and proceeds by regular graduation
to the main question, without debate, amendment, or motion,
until such question is reached or disposed of.

The Rural Electrification Authority was created for the purpose
of promoting and encouraging the fullest pos'^ible use of electric
energy in the rural areas of the State. The Authority does not
build nor finance the construction of power lines, confining its ef-
forts to the coordination of existing facilities to accomplish its pui'-
poses. In general, investigations are made, communities are as-
sisted in organizing, negotiations are made with power companies,
the Federal Government and municipalities for the extension of
distribution lines for and on behalf of the rural communities that
desire service.
The Electric Membership Corporation Act provides for the forma-
tion of non-profit membership corporations. Applications for loans
from the United States Government are made through the State
Authority and not direct to the United States Agency.
When the North Carolina Rural Electrification Authority began
to function on July 1, 1935, about 3 per cent of the farms in the State
were receiving central station service. The December 1936 report
showed an additional 5,250 miles of power lines had been built, un-
der construction or authorized to be built at an estimated cost of
$5,521,280.00 and the percentage of electrified farms rose to about
12 per cent.

farm families eligible for relief to become self-supporting and as
far as possible own their farms. The Corporation was organized as
the business agency to transact all business and legal matters of
the program. A standard form for a corporation set-up was issued
by the Rural Rehabilitation Division of the Federal Emergency Re-
lief Administration for information and guidance of the State Emer-
gency Relief Administration. Following this authorized form, the
corporation was set up as a non-par value stock company v/ith con-
trol resting in the Board of Directors, a majority of whom were

Supervisors, $1,878.00; secretary and general record clerk, $1,500.00.
The office of the Commissioner of Paroles is a part of the Execu-
tive Chambers, and functions under the sole direction of the Gov-
ernor.
The office as now constituted, was created by the 1935 session of
the General Assembly of North Carolina, at which time provision
was made for an assistant to the Commissioner of Paroles, for a
staff of investigators and supervisors, and stenographic and clerical
help sufficient to carry out the parole program.
The office of the Commissioner of Paroles acts in an advisory ca-
pacity: investigating and recommending to the Governor those pris-
oners who merit either parole or executive clemency.
Under the direction of the Governor, the office of the Commis-
sioner of Paroles, through its supervisors, cooperates with local of-
ficials in the supervision of all paroled prisoners. The 100 Wel-
fare Officers of the State are by law the local supervision agents.
The Governor has assigned to the Commissioner of Paroles the
further duty of investigating the cases of all prisoners under sen-
tence of death.
The Governor and the Commissioner of Paroles have caused to
be set up a file for every felon confined in the State prison system
and their cases are heard regardless of whether or not any one ap-
pears in their behalf. In addition to this, arrangement has been
made, through the cooperation of the penal division of the State
Highway and public Works Commission, to furnish information on
misdemeanants who might be worthy of parole.
The Parole Office is gathering information and statistics for a
study of crime and also for the purpose of aiding the United States
Department of Justice in the Attorney General's Survey of Release
Methods, a nation-wide survey of parole practices.
The North Carolina Parole System has been progressing rapidly
under its policy of cooperation with the Courts and law enforcement,
welfare and penal agencies.
The Parole Office not only studies cases with a view to parole,
but actively supports the Penal Division in an effort to rehabilitate
a penal population ranging between nine and ten thousand.

visinn; Mrs. May Thompson Evans, Raleigh, director State Em-
ployment Service Division.
The North Carolina Unemployment Compensation Commission
was created by the North Carolina Unemployment Compensation
Act, enacted by the special session of the General Assembly in De-
cember, 1936, called for that purpose to meet the requirements of
Titles III and IX of the National Social Security Act, as amended.
The State Act provided for a commission of three members to ad-
minister the law, through two divisions, the Unemployment Compen-
sation Division and the State Employment Service Division, the lat-
ter of which had been created by Chapter 106, Public Laws of 1935.
All administrative costs of the commission are paid by the Federal
Government, on requisition of the commission, after the schedule
of expenditures is approved by the Social Security Board.
The commission, through its Unemployment Compensation Divi-
sion, is charged with the collection from employers coming under
the Act nine-tenths of one per cent in 1936, one and eight-tenths
per cent in 1937 and two and seven-tenths per cent in 1938 and there-
after on the payrolls of the employers. These contributions go into
a special fund and create a reserve from which workers who be-
come unemployed through no fault of their own and after January
1, 1938, are paid at the rate of one-half of their normal wages, but
not to exceed $15 a week nor less than $5 a week, or three-fourths
of his full-time weekly wage, whichever is lesser. The unemployed
worker cannot draw benefits for more than 16 weeks in a benefit
year. The division is required to secure from the State's 9,000 em-
ployers and keep a complete record of the approximately 400,000 work-
ers in the State, in order to make the payments of benefits properly.
The State Employment Service Division, already in operation,
was taken over by the commission, and its operations enlarged and
extended. This division maintains employment offices throughout
the State and seeks to find work for the unemployed, who, while
drawing benefits are required to report regularly to these employ-
ment offices in efforts to find suitable work.
The commission is charged with the task of trying to stabilize
employment and thus preventing the financial, economic and moral
ills that follow enforced idleness of workers in the State. It is
also required to make a study of unemployment, its causes and re-
sults, and to strive to present methods of reducing this hazard in
reports to the Governor and the General Assembly.

[71]
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PLATFORM
Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June 25. — (AP) — The text of the
Democratic national platform follows:
We hold this truth to be self-evident — that the test of a represen-
tative government is its ability to promote the safety and happiness
of the people.
We hold this truth to be self-evident — that 12 years of Republican
leadership left our nation sorely stricken in body, mind and spirit;
and that three years of Democratic leadership have put it back on
the road to restored health and prosperity.
We hold this trutli to be self-evident — that 12 years of Republican
surrender to the dictatorship of a privileged few have been supplanted
by a Democratic leadership which has returned the people them-
selves to the places of authority, and has revived in them new faith
and restored the hope which they had almost lost.
We hold this truth to be self-evident — that this three-year recov-
ery in all the basic values of life and the re-establishment of the
American way of living has been brought about by humanizing the
policies of the Federal Government as they affect the personal,
financial, industrial and agricultural well-being of the American
people.
Its Obligations
We hold this truth to be self-evident — that government in a mod-
ern civilization has certain inescapable obligations to its citizens,
among which are:
(1) Protection of the family and the home.
(2) Establishment of a democracy of oppoi'tunity for all the peo-
ple.
(3) Aid to those overtaken by disaster.
These obligations, neglected through 12 years of the old leader-
ship, once more have been recognized by American government.
Under the new leadership they will never be neglected.
For the Photixtiox of the F.xmii.y and thk Homk
(1) We have begun and shall continue the successful drive to rid
our land of kidnappers and bandits. We shall continue to use tiie
[73]
74 PoLiTiCxVL Platforms
powers of government to end the activities of the malefactors of
great wealth who defraud and exploit the people.
Savings and Investments
(2) We have safeguarded the thrift of our citizens by restrain-
ing those who would gamble with other people's savings, by requir-
ing truth in the sale of securities; by putting the brakes upon the
use of credit for speculation; by outlawing the manipulation of
prices in stock and commodity markets; by curbing the overween-
ing power and unholy practices of utility holding companies; by
insuring fifty million bank accounts.
Old- Age and Social Secukity
(3) We have built foundations for the security of those who are
faced with the hazards of unemployment and old age; for the or-
phaned, the crippled and the blind. On the foundation of the Social
Security Act we are determined to erect a structure of economic
security for all our people, making sure that this benefit shall keep
step with the ever-increasing capacity of America to provide a high
standard of living for all its citizens.
Consumer
(4) We will act to secure to the consumer fair value, honest sales
and a decreased spread between the price he pays and the price the
producer receives.
Rural Electrification
(5) This administration has fostered power rate yardsticks in
the Tennessee Valley and in several other parts of the nation. As
a result electricity has been made available to the people at a lower
rate. We will continue to promote plans for rural electrification
and for cheaper power by means of the yardstick method.
Housing
(6) We maintain that our people are entitled to decent, adequate
housing at a price which they can afford. In the last three years
the Federal government, having saved more than two million homes
from foreclosure, has taken the first steps in our history to provide
decent housing for people of meagre incomes. We believe every
encouragement should be given to the building of new homes by
Democratic IN'ational Platfok.m
< ;>
private enterprise; and that the government should steadily extend
its housing program toward the goal of adequate housing for those
forced through economic necessities to live in unhealthy and slum
conditions.
Vetekans
(7) We shall continue just treatment to our war veterans and
their dependents.
For the establishment of a democracy of opportunity:
Agriculture
We have taken the farmers off the road to ruin.
We have kept our pledge to agriculture to use all available means
to raise farm income toward its pre-war purchasing power. The
farmer no longer is suffering from 15-cent corn, three-cent hogs,
two and one-half-cent beef at the farm, five-cent wool, 30-cent wheat,
five-cent cotton and three-cent sugar.
By Federal legislation we have reduced the farmers' indebtedness
and doubled his net income. In cooperation with the states and
through the farmers' own committees, we are restoring the fertility
of his land and checking the erosion of his soil. We are bringing
electricity and good roads to his home.
We will continue to improve the soil conservation and domestic
allotment program with payments to farmers.
We will continue a fair-minded administration of agricultural
laws, quick to recognize and meet new problems and conditions. We
recognize the gravity of the evils of farm tenancy, and whe pledge
the full cooperation of the government in the refinancing of farm
indebtedness at the lowest possible rates of interest and over a long
term of years.
We favor the production of all the market will absorb, both at
home and abroad plus a reserve supply sufficient to insure fair
prices to consumers; we favor judicious commodity loans on sea-
sonal surpluses; and we favor assistance within Federal authority
to enable farmers to adjust and balance producticm with demand,
at a fair profit to the farmers.
We faror encouragement of sound, practical farm cooperatives.
By the purchase and retirement of ten million acres of submar-
ginal land, and assistance to those attempting to eko out an exist-
76 Political Platforms
ence upon it, we have made a good beginning toward proper land
use and rural rehabilitation.
The farmer has been returned to the road to freedom and pros-
perity. We will keep him on that road.
Labor
We have given the army of America's industrial workers some-
thing more substantial than the Republican's dinner pail full of
promises. We have increased the worker's pay and shortened his
hours; we have undertaken to put an end to the sweated labor of
his wife and children; we have written into the law of the land
his right to collective bargaining and self-organization free from
the interference of employers; we have provided Federal machinery
for the peaceful settlement of labor disputes.
We will continue to protect the worker and we will guard his
rights, both as wage-earner and consumer, in the production, and
consumption of all commodities including coal and water power
and other natural resource products.
The worker has been returned to the road to freedom and pros-
perity. We will keep him on that road.
We have taken the American business man out of the red. We
have saved his bank and given it a sounder foundation; we have
extended credit; we have lowered interest rates; we have under-
taken to free him from the ravages of cut-throat competition.
Youth
We have aided youth to stay in school; given them constructive
occupation; opened the door to opportunity which 12 years of Re-
publican neglect had closed.
Our youth have been returned to the road to freedom and pros-
perity. We will keep them on that road.
Monopoly am) CoiNCKNTitATiON of Economic Power
Monopolies and the concentration of economic power, the creation
of Republican rule and privilege, continue to be the master of the
producer, the exploiter of the consumer, and the enemy of the in-
dependent operator. This is a problem challenging the unceasing
effort of untrammeled public officials in every branch of the gov-
Democratic National Platform 77
ernment. We pledge vigorously and fearlessly to enforce the crim-
inal and civil provisions of the existing anti-trust laws, and to the
extent that their effectiveness has heen weakened by new corporate
devices or judicial construction, we propose to restore their ef-
ficiency in stamping out monopolistic practices and the concentra-
tion of economic power.
Aid to Those Overtaken by Disaster
We have aided and will continue to aid those who have been vis-
ited by widespread drought and floods and have adopted a nation-
wide flood-control policy.
Unemployment
We believe that unemployment is a national problem, and that it
is an inescapable obligation of our government to meet it in a na-
tional way due to our stimulation of private business, more than
five million people have been reemployed; and we shall continue
to maintain that first objective of a program of economic security
is maximum employment in private industry at adequate wages.
Where business fails to supply such employment, we believe that
work at prevailing wages should be provided in cooperation with
state and local governments on useful public projects, to the end
that the national wealth may be increased, the skill and energy of
the worker may be utilized, his morale maintained, and the unem-
ployed assured the opportunity to earn the necessities of life.
The Constitution
The Republican platform proposes to meet many pressing national
problems solely by action of the separate states. AVe know that
drought, dust storms, floods, minimum wages, maximum hours, child
labor and working conditions in industry, monopolistic and unfair
business practices cannot be adequately handled exclusively by 48
separate state legislatures, 48 separate state administrations and 48
separate state courts. Transactions and activities which inevitably
overflow state boundaries call for both state and Federal treatment.
We have sought and will continue to seek to meet these problems
through legislation within the Constitution.
If these problems cannot be effectively solved by legislation within
the Constitution, we shall seek clarifying amendment as will assure
to the legislatures of the several states and to the Congress of the
78 Political Platforms
United States, each within its proper jurisdiction, the power to
enact those laws which the state and Federal legislatures, within
their respective spheres, shall find necessary, in order adequately
to regulate commerce, protect public health and safety and safe-
guard economic security. Thus we propose to maintain the letter
and spirit of the Constitution.
The Merit System ix Governme>t
For the protection of government itself and promotion of its ef-
ficiency we pledge the immediate expansion of the merit system
through the classified civil service — which was first established and
fostered under Democratic auspices — to all non-policy-making posi-
tions in the Federal service.
"We shall subject to the civil service law all continuing positions
which, because of the emergency, have been exempt from its oper-
ation.
Civil Liberties
We shall continue to guard the freedom of speech, press, radio,
religion and assembly which our constitution guarantees; with
equal rights to all and special privileges to none.
Government Finance
The administration has stopped deflation, restored values and en-
abled business to go ahead with confidence.
When national income shrinks, government income is imperiled.
In reviving national income, we have fortified government finance.
We have raised the public credit to a position of unsurpassed secur-
ity. The interest rate on government bonds has been reduced to
the lowest point in 2S years. The same government bonds which in
1932 sold under S3 are now selling over 104.
We approve the objective of a permanently sound currency so
stabilized as to prevent the former wide fluctuations in value which
injured in turn producers, debtors, and property owners on the one
hand, and wage-earners and creditors on the other, a currency which
will permit full utilization of the country's resources. We assert
that today we have the soundest currency in the world.
We are determined to reduce the expenses of government. We
are being aided therein by the recession in unemployment. As the
Democratic National Platfokm 79
requirements of relief decline and national income advances, an in-
creasing percentage of Federal expenditures can and will be met
from current revenues, secured from taxes levied in accordance with
ability to pay. Our retrenchment, tax and recovery programs thus
reflect our firm determination to achieve a balanced budget and the
reduction of the national debt at the earliest possible moment.
Foreign Policy
In our relationship with other nations, this government will con-
tinue to extend the policy of good neighbor. We reaffirm our oppo-
sition to war as an instrument of national policy, and declare that
disputes between nations should be settled by peaceful means. We
shall continue to observe a true neutrality in the disputes of oth-
ers; to be prepared, resolutely to resist aggression against our-
selves; to work for peace and to take the profits out of war; to
guard against being drawn, by political commitments, international
banking or private trading, into any war which may develop any-
where.
We shall continue to foster the increase in our foreign trade
which has been achieved by this administration; to seek by mutual
agreement the lowering of those tariff barriers, quotas and embar-
goes which have been raised against our exports of agricultural and
industrial products; but continue as in the past to give adequate
protection to our farmers and manufacturers against unfair com-
petition or the dumping on our shores of commodities and goods
produced abroad by cheap labor or subsidized by foreign govern-
ments.
The issue in this election is plain. The American people are
called upon to choose between a Republican administration that has
and would again regiment them in the service of privileged groups
and a Democratic administration dedicated to the establishment of
equal economic opportunity for all our people.
We have faith in the destiny of our nation. We are sufficiently
endowed with natural resources and with productive capacity to
provide for all a quality of life that meets the standard.-; of real
Americanism.
Dedicated to a government of liberal American principles, we ar(>
determined to oppose equally, the despotism of Communism and
the menace of concealed Fascism.
so Political Platforms
We hold this final ti'uth to be self-evident — that the interests, the
security and the happiness of the people of the United States of
America can be perpetuated only under Democratic government as
conceived by the founders of our nation.
1936 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PLATFORM
Cleveland, June 11. — (AP) — The text of the Republican platform
follows:
The Platform of the Reptjblican Pauty, 1936
America is in peril. The welfare of American men and women
and the future of our youth are at stake. We dedicate ourselves
to the preservation of their political liberty, their individual op-
portunity and their character as free citizens, which today for the
first time, are threatened by Government itself.
For three long years the New Deal administration has dishon-
ored American traditions and flagrantly betrayed the pledges upon
which the Democratic party sought and received puljlic support.
The powers of Congress have been usurped by the President.
The integrity and authority of the Supreme Court have been
flaunted.
The rights and liberties of American citizens have been violated.
Regulated monopoly has displaced free enterprise.
The New Deal administration constantly seeks to u.surp the rights
reserved to the states and to the people.
It has insisted on the passage of laws contrary to the Constitu-
tion.
It has intimidated witnesses and interfered with the right of
petition.
It has dishonored our country by repudiating its most sacred
obligations.
It has been guilty of frightful waste and extravagance, using pub-
lic funds for partisan political purposes.
It has promoted investigations to harass and intimidate Ameri-
can citizens, at the same time denying investigations into its own
improper expenditures.
It has created a vast multitude of new offices, filled them with
its favorites, set up a centralized bureaucracy, and sent out swarms
of inspectors to harass our people.
It has bred fear and hesitation in commerce and industry, thus
discouraging new enterprises, preventing employment and prolong-
ing the depression.
[ .^1 I
82 Political Platforms
It secretly has made tariff agreements with our foreign competi-
tors, flooding our markets witli foreign commodities.
It has coerced and intimidated voters by withholding relief to
those opposing its tyrannical policies.
It has destroyed the morale of many of our people and made them
dependent upon government.
Appeals to passion and class prejudice have replaced reason and
tolerance.
To a free people, these actions are insufferable. This campaign
can not be waged on the traditional differences between the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties. The responsibility of this election
transcends all previous political divisions. We invite all Ameri-
cans irrespective of party, to join us in defense of American insti-
tutions.
Constitutional Government ano Free Enterprise
We pledge ourselves:
(1) To maintain the American system of constitutional and local
self-government, and to resist all attempts to impair the authority
of the Supreme Court of the United States, the final protector of
the rights of our citizens against the arbitrary encroachments of
the legislative and executive branches of government. There can
be no individual liberty without an independent judiciary.
(2) To preserve the American system of free enterprise, private
competition, and equality of opportunity, and to seek its constant
betterment in the interest of all.
Re-employment
The only permanent solution of the unemployment problem is the
absorption of the unemployed by industry and agriculture, to that
end, we advocate:
Removal of restrictions on production.
Abandonment of all New Deal policies that raise production costs,
of living, and thereby restrict buying, reduce volume and prevent
reemployment.
Encouragement instead of hindrance to legitimate business.
Witlidrawal of Government from competition v.-ith private pay-
rolls.
Elimination of unnecessary and hami>ering regulations.
1936 Eepublican ISTational Platform 83
Adoption of such other policies as will furnish a chance for in-
dividual enterprise, industrial expansion, and the restoration of
jobs.
Rexief
The necessities of life must be provided for the needy, and hope
must be restored pending recovery. The administration of relief is
a major failure of the New Deal. It has been faithless to those who
most deserve our sympathy. To end confusion, partisanship, waste
and incompetence, we pledge:
(1) The return of responsibility for relief administration to non-
political local agencies familiar with community problems.
(2) Federal grants-in-aid to the states and territories while the
need exists, upon compliance with these conditions: (a) A fair
proportion of the total relief burden to be provided from the rev-
enues of states and local governments; (b) all engaged in relief
administration to be selected on the basis of merit and fitness; (c)
adequate provision to be made for the encouragement of those per-
sons who are trying to become self-supporting.
(3) Undertaking of Federal public works only on their merits
and separate from the administration of relief.
(4) A prompt determination of the facts concerning relief and
unemployment.
Security
Real security will be possible only when our productive capacity
is sufficient to furnish a decent standard of living for all American
families and to provide a surplus for future needs and contingen-
cies. For the attainment of that ultimate objective, we look to the
energy, self-reliance and character of our people, and to our system
of free enterprise.
Society has an obligation to promote the security of the people,
by affording some measure of protection against involuntary un-
employment and dependency in old age. The New Deal policies,
while purporting to provide social security, have, in fact, endan-
gered it.
We propose a system of old-age security, based upon the follow-
ing principles:
84 Political Platforms
(1) We approve a pay-as-you-go policy, which requires of each
generation the support of the aged and the determination of what
is just and adequate.
(2) Every American citizen over 65 should receive the supple-
mentary payment necessary to provide a minimum income suffi-
cient to protect him or her from want.
(3) Each state and territory, upon complying with simple and
general minimum standards should receive from the Federal Gov-
ernment a graduation cmtribution in proportion to its own, up to
a fixed maximum.
(4) To make this program consistent with sound fiscal policy the
Federal revenues for this purpose must be provided from the pro-
ceeds of a direct tax widely distributed. All will be benefitted and
all should contribute.
We propose to encourage adoption by the states and territories
of honest and practical measures for meeting the problems of un-
employment insurance.
The unemployment insurance and old-age annuity sections of the
present Social Security Act are unworkable and deny benefits to
about two-thirds of our adult population, including professional men
and women and all those engaged in agriculture and domestic serv-
ice, and the .self-employed while imposing heavy tax burdens upon
all. The so-called reserve fund estimated at forty-seven billion dol-
lars for old-age insurance is no reserve at all, because the fund will
contain nothing but the government's promise to pay, while the
taxes collected in the guise of premiums will be wasted by the gov-
ernment in reckless and extravagant political schemes.
Labor
The welfare of labor rests upon increased production and the pre-
vention of exploitation. We pledge ourselves to:
Protect the right of labor to organize and to bargain collectively
through representatives of its own choosing without interference
from any source.
Prevent governmental job holders from exercising autocratic pow-
ers over labor.
Support the adoption of state and interstate compacts to abolish
sweat shops and child labor, and to protect women and children
1936 Republican National Platkokm 85
with respect to maximum hours, minimum wages and working con-
ditions. We believe that this can be done within the Constitution
as it now stands.
Agriculture
The farm problem is an economic and social, not a partisan prob-
lem, and we propose to treat it accordingly. Following the wreck
of the restrictive and coercive AAA, the New Deal administration
has taken to itself the principles of the Republican policy of soil
conservation and land retirement. This action opens the way for
a non-political and permanent solution. Such a solution cannot be
had under a New Deal administration which misuses the program
to serve partisan ends, to promote scarcity and to limit by coercive
methods the farmer's control over his own farm.
Our paramount object is to protect and foster the family type of
farm, traditional in American life, and to promote policies which
will bring about an adjustment of agriculture to meet the needs of
domestic and foreign markets. As an emergency measure, during
the agricultural depression, Federal benefit payments or grants-in-
aid when administered within the means of the Federal Government
are consistent with a balanced budget.
We propose:
(1) To facilitate economical production and increased consump-
tion on a basis of abundance instead of scarcity.
(2) A national land-use program, including the acquisition of
abandoned and non-productive farm lands by voluntary sale or
lease, subject to approval of the legislative and executive branches
of the states concerned, and the devotion of such land to appropriate
public use, such as watershed protection and flood prevention, re-
forestation, recreation and conservation of wild life.
(3) That an agricultural policy be pursued for the protection and
restoration of the land resources, designed to bring about such a
balance between soil-building and soil-depleting crops as will per-
manently insure productivity, with reasonable benefits to cooperat-
ing farmers on family-type farms, but so regulated as to eliminate
the New Deal's destructive policy towards the dairy and livestock
industries.
(4) To extend experimental aid to farmers developing new crops
suited to our soil and climate.
86 Political Platfokms
(5) To promote the industrial use of farm products by applied
science.
(6) To protect the American farmer against the importation of
all livestock, dairy and agricultural products, substitutes therefor,
and derivatives therefrom, which will depress American farm prices.
(7) To provide effective quarantine against imported livestock,
dairy and other farm products from countries which do not impose
health and sanitary regulations fully equal to those required of our
own producers.
(8) To provide for ample farm credit at rates as low as those
enjoyed by other industries, including commodity and livestock
loans, and preference in land loans to the farmer acquiring or re-
financing a farm as a home.
(9) To provide for decentralized, non-partisan control of the
farm credit administration and the election by national farm loan
associations of at least one-half of each board of directors of the
Federal Land banks, and thereby remove these institutions from
politics.
(10) To provide in the case of agricultural products of which
there are exportable surpluses, the payment of reasonable, benefits
upon the domestically-consumed portion of such crops in order to
make the tariff effective. These payments are to be limited to the
production level of the family type farm.
(11) To encourage and further develop cooperative marketing.
(12) To furnish government assistance in disposing of surpluses
in foreign trade by bargaining for foreign markets selectively by
countries, both as to exports and imports. We strenuously oppose
so-called reciprocal treaties which trade off the American farmer.
(13) To give every reasonable assistance to producers in areas
suffering from temporary disaster, so that they may regain and
maintain a self-supporting status.
Tariff
Nearly 60 per cent of all imports into the United States are now
free of duty. The other 40 per cent of imports compete directly
with the product of our industry. We would keep on the free list
all products not grown or produced in the United States in com-
mercial quantities. As to all commodities that commercially com-
pete directly with the product of our industry. We would keep on
1936 Republican National Platform 87
the free list all products not grown or produced in the L'nited
States in commercial quantities. As to all commodities that com-
mercially compete with our farms, our forests, our mines, our fish-
eries, our oil wells, our labor and our industries, sufficient protec-
tion should be maintained at all times to defend the American
farmer and the American wage-earner from the destructive com-
petition emanating from the subsidies of foreign governments and
the imports from low-wage and depreciated-currency countries.
We will repeal the present reciprocal trade agreement law. It is
futile and dangerous. Its effect on agriculture and industry has been
destructive. Its continuation would work to the detriment of the
wage-earner and the farmer.
We will restore the principle of the flexible tariff in order to meet
changing economic conditions here and abroad and broaden by care-
ful definition the powers of the Tariff Commission in order to ex-
tend this policy along non-partisan lines.
We will adjust tariffs with a view of promoting international
trade, the stabilization of currencies, and the attainment of a prop-
er balance between agriculture and industry.
We condemn the secret negotiation of reciprocal trade treaties
without public hearing or legislative approval.
MOXOPOLIKS
A private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable. It menaces
and, if continued, will utterly destroy constitutional government and
the liberty of the citizen.
We favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal laws, as well
as the civil laws, against monopolies and trusts and their officials,
and we demand the enactment of such additional legislation as is
necessary to make it impossible for the private monopoly to exist
in the United States.
We will employ the full powers of the government to tlie end tliat
monopoly shall be eliminated and that free enterprise shall be fully
restored and maintained.
Regulation of Business
We recognize the existence of a field within wliidi governmental
regulation is desirable and salutory. The authority to regulate
should be vested in an independent tribunal acting under clear and
88 Political Platforms
specific laws establishing definite standards. Their determinations
on law and facts should be subject to review by the courts. We
favor Federal regulation, within the Constitution, of the marketing
of securities to protect investors. We favor also Federal regulation
of the interstate activities of public utilities.
Civil Skrvice
Under the New Deal, official authority has been given to inex-
perienced and incompetent persons. The Civil Service has been
sacrificed to create a national political machine. As a result the
Federal Government has never presented such a picture of con-
fusion and inefficiency.
We pladge ourselves to the merit system, virtually destroyed by
New Deal spoilsmen. It should be restored, improved and extended.
We will provide such conditions as offer an attractive perma-
nent career in government service to young men and women of abil-
ity, irrespective of party affiliations.
GOVEENMENT FINANCE
The New Deal administration has been characterized by shameful
waste, and general financial irresponsibility. It has piled deficit
upon deficit. It threatens national bankruptcy and the destruction
through inflation of insurance policies and saving bank deposits.
We pledge ourselves to:
Stop the folly of uncontrolled spending.
Balance the budget — not by increasing taxes but by cutting ex-
penditures, drastically and immediately.
Revise the Federal tax system and coordinate it with State and
local tax systems.
Use the taxing power for raising revenue and not for punitive or
political purposes.
Money and Banking
We advocate a sound currency to be preserved at all hazards.
The first requisite to a sound and stable currency is a balanced
budget.
We oppose further devaluation of the dollar.
We will restore to the Congress the authority lodged with it by
the Constitution to coin money and regulate the value thereof by
repealing all the laws delegating this authority to the executive.
1936 Repiblican XatioNxVL Platform 89
We will cooperate with other countries toward stabilization of
currencies as soon as we can do so with due regard for our national
interests and as soon as other nations have sufficient stability to
justify such action.
Foreign ArrAiRs
We pledge ourselves to promote and maintain peace by all honor-
able means not leading to foreign alliances or political commit-
ments.
Obedient to the traditional foreign policy of America and to the
repeatedly expressed will of the American people, we pledge that
America shall not become a member of the League of Nations nor
of the World Court nor shall America take on any entangling alli-
ances in foreign affairs.
We shall promote, as the best means of securing and maintaining
peace by the paciiic settlement of disputes, the great cause of inter-
national arbitration through the establishment of free, independent
tribunals, which shall determine such disputes in accordance with
law. equity and justice.
Natioxai. Defense
We favor an army and navy, including air forces, adequate for
our national defense.
We shall cooperate with other nations in the limitation of arma-
ments and control of traffic in arms.
Bill of Rights
We pledge ourselves to preserve, protect and defend, against all
intimidation and threat, freedom of religion, speech, press and ra-
dio; and the right of assembly and petition and immunity from un-
reasonable searches and seizures.
We offer the abiding security of a government of laws as against
the autocratic perils of a government of men.
FrUTIlFKMORE
(1) We favor the construction of the Federal Government of
head-water storage basins to prevent floods, subject to the approval
of the legislative and executive branches of the government of the
states whose lands are concerned.
(2) We favor equal opportunity for our colored citizens. We
pledge our protection of their economic status and personal safety.
90 Political Platkokms
We will do our best to further their employment in the gainfully
occupied life of America, particularly in private industry, agricul-
ture, emergency agencies and the civil service.
We condemn the present New Deal policies which would regi-
ment and ultimately eliminate the colored citizen from the coun-
try's productive life, and make him solely a ward of the Federal
Government.
(3) To our Indian population we pledge every effort on the part
of the national government to ameliorate living conditions for them.
(4) We pledge continuation of the Republican policy of adequate
compensation and care of veterans disabled in the service of our
country and for their widows, orphans and dependents.
(5) We shall use every effort to collect the war debt due us from
foreign countries amounting to $12,000,000,000 — one-third of our na-
tional debt. No effort has been made by the present administration
even to reopen negotiations.
(6) We are opposed to legislation which discriminates against
women in Federal and State employment.
Conclusion
We assume the obligations and duties imposed upon government
by modern conditions. We affirm our unalterable conviction that,
in the future as in the past, the fate of the nation will depend, not
so much on the wisdom and power of government, as on the char-
acter and virtue, self-reliance, industry and thrift of the people and
on their willingness to meet the responsibilities essential to the
preservation of a free society.
Finally, as our party affirmed in its first platform in 1S56: "Be-
lieving that the spirit of our institutions as well as the Constitu-
tion of our country guarantees liberty of conscience and equality
of rights among our citizens we oppose all legislation tending to
impair them," and "we invite the affiliation and cooperation of the
men of all parties, however differing from us in other respects, in
support of the principles herein declared."
The acceptance of the nomination tendered by this convention car-
ries with it, as a matter of private honor and public faith, an under-
taking by each candidate to be true to the principles and program
herein set forth.
STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Last year approximately 68 cents out of every dollar that was
collected into the general fund of the State was appropriated to
the public schools and to higher educational institutions. No State
in the Union devotes to education such a large ratio of its tax re-
ceipts. This is the most convincing proof of the true emphasis that
the Democratic party places on education.
Tlie Democratic conduct of the State's affairs has always been
economical, honest and efficient. Only five cents out of the State
tax dollar goes for the payment of departmental expenses. Some
States disburse a larger percentage than that for tax collection costs
exclusively. In all the long years of Democratic control, no scan-
dal has ever involved any State official. Perhaps this cannot be
said of any other State.
Administr-vtiox Praised
Particularly praiseworthy has been the conduct of the State's
finances by the present Democratic administration under the lead-
ership of Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus. It has established a fiscal
record which should be a source of pride to every North Carolinian
and which is unequalled in the nation. Called upon to operate the
State at a time of profound economic depression, it has met the
grave problems with courage and wisdom.
It has steadily kept operating expenses within operating rev-
enues.
It has financed the State without borrowing a single dollar.
It has met all of its bills punctually. Employes have been paid.
It has actually reduced the State's aggregate indebtedness by ap-
proximately $24,000,000.
Today North Carolina's credit stands as high as that of any State
in the Union.
All this has been achieved while land taxes were being steadily
reduced and the State was assuming governmental costs formerly
borne by the local communities.
When the General Assembly of 1933 convened, it found itself faced
with a critical situation. The State had a large accumulated deficit
and further borrowings were impossible. The school system was
[91 ]

threatened with collapse. Land taxes were impossible of collec-
tion due to the profound prostration of agriculture resulting from
the Republican panic.
The General Assembly wisely resolved that the essential services
of the State government must be maintained at every cost and that
the schools must be kept open.
The State in that emergency determined to assume the full finan-
cial responsibility for the operation of an eight months school term
in every community in North Carolina. This meant relief to the
cities and counties but added expense to the State government.
Sales Tax
For many weary weeks of thorough exploration and honest dis-
cussion, the General Assembly sought the added revenues required
by this far-reaching policy. As a last resort and as a temporary ex-
pedient, it adopted the sales tax, devoted the entire pi'.oceeds of this
levy to the schools.
The situation was saved. Not a single school in North Carolina
has closed its doors. Not a single teacher has gone unpaid. Of no
other State in the Union — save only Maryland — can that be said.
This desperate situation required a desperate remedy. The cure
was effective.
The Democratic party is appreciative today as it had been for 40
years of the importance of the public schools and it takes pride in
the fact that the school program as it has now been established is
supported by the entire State without resorting to a tax on the
homes and farms of our people.
The Democratic party appreciates the extraordinarily valuable
services of its teachers. It rejoices in the fact that every teacher
has been paid in lawful currency exactly what the State pledged it-
self to pay. It observes with gratification that the 1935 General
Assembly was able to increase the salaries of all teachers.
No An Valorem
The party renews its pledge to the people of the State to maintain
an eight months' school term for every child, supported by depend-
able revenue, without resorting to an ad valorem tax on the land
and homes of our people. It pledges itself to make a reasonable
increase in a full school program, looking to the payment of all
State Democratic Platfokm 93
teachers of salaries in line with the vital importance of their serv-
ices and looking also to the broadening of courses in vocational edu-
cation and to an extension of the system of State-rented school
books to a system of free school books as speedily as the State rev-
enue will permit.
Economic improvement will now permit the immediate elimina-
tion of the sales tax levy on all necessities of life and on meals at
boarding houses, and all public eating places and hotels. The Demo-
cratic party pledges itself to accomplish this at the 1937 session of
the General Assembly.
Since the Democratic party pledges itself, to the fullest practi-
cable participation in the social security program of the national ad-
ministration, it cannot pledge itself to the complete elimination
of the sales tax at this time, the schools must be maintained and
improved. Money to finance old-age pensions and other features of
the social security program must be found to the limits of the State's
ability to do this. But the Democratic party bears strongly in mind
the fact that the sales tax was adopted by the General Assembly only
as an emergency measure. The Democratic party accepts this as a
party pledge.
The Democratic party records with genuine pleasure the sig-
nificant fact that the per capita property tax in North Carolina for
all governmental purposes is lower than that of any state in the
Union. This has been made possible by the fact that the State has
assumed the complete responsibility for the construction and main-
tenance of highways and for the operation of the eight months'
school term.
Taxes on Business
The Democratic party notes with equal gratification the fact that
business is not escaping the proper share of governmental costs in
North Carolina.
Only four other states of the Union levy a higher corporation
franchise tax. Only one other state levies a higher corporation in-
come tax. In aggregate corporate taxes. North Carolina, is out-
ranked only by one state.
The Democratic party does not apologize for these high corporate
taxes. It regards them as necessary and just. At the same time,
it recognizes the inescapable truth that industry must not bo driven
from the State or repelled at our borders by punitive taxes.
04 Political Platfokms
The Democrats of North Carolina have observed with pride the
growing prestige of North Carolina's delegation in the National
Congress and this convention hereby puts on record its warm appre-
ciation of the services which the State's Senators and Representa-
tives are rendering at Washington.
The democracy of North Carolina is in full and constant sympathy
with the great objectives of the Roosevelt administration and with
the principles that animate and direct them. We pledge ourselves
to continuing cooperation with the President and the Congress.
Upon this plain record of progress and achievement the democ-
racy of North Carolina in convention assembled hereby heartily en-
dorses the National and State Democratic administrations. Since
the beginning of recorded time there has been a struggle between
entrenched wealth on the one side and the toiling masses on the
other — be<tween the reactionary and the liberal. Never were these
lines more clearly dravrn than at this hour. The Democratic party
of North Carolina, therefore, cordially invites peoples of all creeds
and of all party affiliations to enroll under the ample banner of
equality of opportunity for rich and poor alike.
When the Democracy of North Carolina assembled in convention
four years ago, the most devastating depression in the history of
the republic was raging with increasing fury.
Millions of jobless men were tramping the streets of our cities
in black despair. Agricultural products were selling at ruinous
prices and farm mortgages were being foreclosed on a wholesale
scale. Our foreign trade had languished to the point of almost vir-
tual extinction. Thousands of factories were closed. A paralyzed
retail trade was forcing hundreds of merchants each month into
bankruptcy.
Republican leadership was utterly incapable of mastering the
very conditions which long years of Republican misrule had cre-
ated. It talked with counterfeit cheerfulness about imminent re-
covery while it toyed ineffectually with the grave problems. The
situation grew steadily worse. Despair settled more deeply over
the nation.
Today — four years later — the Democracy of North Carolina as-
sembles in convention under happier circumstances. Where once
there was only universal anxiety, now there is confidence. The de-
pression has been conquered.
State Democratic Platfokji 95
The army of the jobless is being demobilized into gainful employ-
ment. The wheels of industry now turn in profitable production.
The banks of the nation are now in unprecedentedly sound condi-
tion. The farmer can now plant in the assurance that he will re-
ceive a fair price for his crop. The nation — the same nation that
four years ago was overwhelmed with despondency — now smiles as
it goes happily about the tasks of the day.
Not Result of Chance
This amazing change is not the result of chance. It is the nat-
ural and predestined consequence of a Democratic administration
and of Democratic policies.
When the Democratic party was voted into power by the most de-
cisive majority ever given any party since 1824, it was commis-
sioned by the American people to do two specific tasks; to end the
depression and to make such reforms in the economic order as
would render a repetition of the panic most remote.
In the person of Franklin Delano Roosevelt the Democratic party
found the leader which the nation sought. He had the vision, the
courage and the elevated and practical conception on governmental
responsibility for which the grave situation called.
When his firm hands settled upon the reins of Presidential power,
change quickly manifested itself. He did not trust to Pollyanna
assurances that all would be well in the fullness of time. Facing
the facts realistically, he set the mighty machinery of the Federal
Government to work in ending the depression. His intelligent un-
derstanding conceived remedies which his indomitalile energy and
fearlessness quickly and effectively applied.
Where there was once only futile fumbling, now there was con-
structive action. The banks of the country were speedily and ef-
fectively restored to impregnable soundness. Additional employ-
ment was created by the effective device of shortening hours while
wages which were being remorselessly driven down to starvation
levels were started on a definite and irresistible upward surge. The
full resources of the nation were employed in reviving a tragically
prostrated agriculture. To those in want was given the promise
that they would be fed and housed and clothed— a promise that has
been scrupulously kept. Industry was primed with a far-reaching
96 Political Platfokms
public works program which provided needed public improvement
while creating employment tor the jobless and an immediate de-
mand for durable goods.
Business Improves
The happy result is that while business profits declined 75 per
cent under President Hoover, they have risen 100 per cent under
President Roosevelt. The nation has been pulled out of the abyss
of the depression and is now traveling irresistibly toward abound-
ing prosperity.
It was not enough to end this depression. A recurrence must be
prevented. Man-made conditions produced the panic. These causa-
tive conditions had to be changed.
Under the Democratic administration reform has marched with
recovery. Legislation of far-reaching character has been enacted to
protect human rights, to provide social security for the aged and
jobless, to safeguard small investors and depositors, to prevent peril-
ous speculation and to insure a fairer distribution of the fruits of
industry. While legitimate and useful business has been accorded
every proper encouragement, the welfare of the individual has been
exalted above private profits. In no similar period of American his-
tory has so much legislation of such beneficial import to the average
man been passed.
All this has been achieved without impairing or straining the
national credit. The government has been able to refinance its out-
standing indebtedness incurred during the World War at heavy in-
terest savings and its lowest yield bonds are selling at a premium.
The national debt has been increased in the same percentage as the
national wealth has risen during the Roosevelt administration. To-
day the United States owes less in proportion to its national assets
than it did when Herbert Hoover left the White House.
State Ri'X'okd
Proud as it is of its party's record in the conduct of the nation's
affairs, the Democracy of North Carolina is equally proud of its
record in the administration of the State's affairs.
When the Democratic party under the inspired leadership of the
immortal Aycock rescued the State from Republican rule. North
Carolina stood low among the states of the South in economic, edu-
cational and social advancement.
State Democratic Platform 97
All this has been changed. Today North Carolina is in fact and
in truth the empire State of the Southeast. Today it ranks first
among the Southeastern states in the value of agricultural crops,
in the value of manufactured products and in retail store sales.
Great as has been its economic progress, still more marked has been
its social and educational progress.
These truly miraculous changes are not the casual consequences
of chance. They are the natural results of the far-sighted, prudent,
efficient and social-minded administration which the Democratic
party has given to the State's affairs.
The Democratic party has not been content to rule the State. It
has been more interested in developing the State and in promoting
the well-being of all of its people.
It has always recognized that the primary obligation of every
State is to conserve and to develop human values. Cradled in the
principles of Thomas Jefferson, it was held steadfastly to the funda-
mental Democratic creed of equal rights to all and special privileges
to none.
The business of North Carolina is agriculture. Thousands of our
citizens are dependent upon farming for their livelihood. For agri-
culture the Democratic party has always had a sympathetic and
helpful interest. Through appropriate legislative action and depart-
mental direction, the State has sought in every way to promote
agricultural progress. It is not without significance that North
Carolina outranks every State in the Southeast in the value of its
farm products — a progress that has come only with Democratic con-
trol and assistance.
The Democratic party is keenly sensible of the fact that despite
all of this advancement, the farmer still does not command his
proper share of the nation's prosperity. The Democracy of North
Carolina pledges itself that it will exert all appropriate cooperation
that gives reasonable promise of promoting the economic well-i)eing
of the rural population of North Carolina.
Compacts Favored
We favor State and interstate control of crop production through
compact legislation in order to assure parity prices to farmers for
their products.
98 Political Platfokjis
In this connectiou a word as to the highway system is in order.
The State of North Carolina, with the aid of the Federal Govern-
ment, has built a magnificent system of highways at a cost of more
than two hundred million dollars. This is the State's largest in-
vestment. The Democratic party recognizes the responsibility of
adequate maintenance of these highways and of progressive im-
provement of local roads serving our rural communities. Highway
funds should be so conserved and expended as to promote these
objectives. The rapidly increasing gasoline taxes justify a further
reduction in automobile license taxes by the next General Assembly.
Labor Pi.axk
In these days of a highly industrialized civilization, no state can
hope to become prosperous unless it has lawful and just encourage-
ment for legitimate industry. Manufacturing enterprises are neces-
sary to afford employment, to create a local market for farm pro-
duce, and to provide tax support for government.
The Democratic party has been fully appreciative of the policy
of the frank recognition of the rights of labor to organize and bar-
gain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, as
advocated by President Roosevelt, and the policy of a broader dis-
tribution of employment as a means to a satisfactory and sustain-
ing progress of industrial development and a more wholesome in-
dustrial life in this State.
We oppose any and all forms of intimidation and coercion against
either worker or employer and urge the enactment of State and in-
terstate laws to promote the betterment of working conditions,
wherever such compacts are practicable, and the passage of humani-
tarian laws, wherever practicable, to afford further protection to
women and children in regard to maximum hours and working con-
ditions.
The wisdom of the Democratic policy is established by the in-
dustrial progress of the State which has come with the successive
Democratic administrations and which is the marvel of the nation.
State Schools
When the Democratic party under the leadership of Aycock com-
mitted itself to the fullest extension of the principle of universal
education, the real impetus to North Carolina's growth was given.
State Democratic Platform 99
Then a building program was launched which commanded the ad-
miration of the nation and which in time brought schools to every
section, however, isolated, in North Carolina. School terms were
gradually lengthened, the type of instruction was improved, com-
pulsory education was adopted. In 1931 the State assumed the re-
sponsibility for the operation of a six months' term of school. In
1933 the State lengthened the school term for which it is respon-
sible to eight months.
STATE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
The 1936 platform for the North Carolina Republican Party, as
presented to the convention by the platform committee for consid-
eration, follows:
The Republican party of North Carolina, in convention duly as-
sembled at Raleigh, March 24, 1936, declares the following princi-
ples and purposes as those upon which it proposes to go before the
people of the State In the next general election with the unquali-
fied pledge that if entrusted with power it will enact the necessary
laws and administer the affairs of the State in such manner as to
effectuate these ends.
National Ihsuks
We reaffirm our allegiance to the time honored and progressive
principles of the Republican party of the Nation and demand:
(1) That governmental expenditures be drastically reduced; the
national budget balanced; the national credit maintained, and the
currency be stabilized.
(2) That punitive and confiscatory tax law which now harass
business, retard recovery and promote wasteful and reckless ex-
penditures be repealed.
(3) We thereby condemn the efforts of the present administra-
tion to restrict and destroy agricultural production, to regiment
industrial groups, to curtail personal liberty, to destroy free speech
and to close the courts of the local community to aggrieved persons
by unlawful and unconstitutional enactments.
(4) That the courts of the United States shall continue to exist
as a free, independent and separate branch of our national govern-
ment as designed by our forefathers in the Constitution of the
country and that their functions shall remain free from political
or other partisan considerations, both in the appointment of the
judges and the exercise of their proper jurisdiction and to the end
that the humblest in our land may be secure in their personal
rights, opportunities, property, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
(5) That all unnecessary bureaus, commissions and governmental
agencies designed to dictate, control and supplant business and
other enterprises and engaged in reckless and wasteful pxpendi-
tures of the people's money shall be abolished.
[ 100 ]
State Republican Platform 101
(6) That local and State responsibility for relief and the admin-
istration of relief funds shall be recognized; the partisan and waste-
ful methods now in common use shall be abandoned; the horde of
unnecessary highly paid officials shall be removed from office and
that a system of non-partisan, efficient and local administration of
all relief activities be submitted for the present expensive, extrava-
gant and partisan set-up.
Sducation
We demand that the educational system of North Carolina, both
in the higher and lower branches, be removed absolutely from the
fields of politics. That the professors, teachers and instructors in
the local schools, colleges and university of the State shall be se-
lected solely upon merit. That all unnecessary expenses connected
with the general administration of the educational system of the
State be eliminated and that the pay of teachers and others ac-
tually engaged in instruction of pupils be increased as rapidly as
the resources of the State Treasury will permit and until the same
is adequate, and to that end we further demand that a special sal-
ary fund be allocated by the Legislature to be used exclusively for
payment of public school teachers' salary. That an efficient system
of promotion of teachers be adopted in order that those best quali-
fied and rendering best services in the way of instruction shall be
rev/^arded for their superior qualifications. That the system of
transportation by means of buses be safeguarded and improved in
every possible way regardless of some extra cost and that free uni-
form textbooks be furnished all public school children.
Election
Honest election laws, honestly and fairly administered, are abso-
lutely necessary for the preservation of free government. We de-
mand that the minority party be given equal representation in
every precinct by the appointment of a registrar for each political
party. Frequent revision of the list of registered voters, fair rep-
resentation of the minority party upon all returning boards, re-
peal of the absentee voters' law, removal of the compulsory fea-
tures of the primary law and provision for each party to pay for
such primary elections as its duly constituted authorities demand.
102 Political Platforms
Law Enforcement
We condemn the action ot the legislative branch of the State
Government for the passage of so-called liquor control laws for
several counties of the State. We demand strict, impartial and ef-
fective enforcement of the prohibition laws of the State.
We demand that all the original laws of the State of North Caro-
lina shall be enforced. That society shall receive protection to the
utmost degree from that element among us inclined by criminal,
dishonest and corrupt methods to prey upon the law abiding people
of our State. That adequate sentences be imposed on all persons
convicted of crime to prevent repetition that this undesirable class
be brought to realize crime does not pay in this State. That ade-
quate provisions be made for the reformation, segregation and re-
habilitation in proper cases in a scientific and humane way of those
punished for crime and confined in penal institutions of the State.
That the labor of all prisoners be restricted as far as possible from
competition with free labor and that all prisoners be employed reg-
ularly in the development and improvement of public highways and
other enterprises beneficial to the people generally.
Highways
We deplore the reckless manner in which the expensive highway
system of the State is being destroyed by being subjected to ex-
cessive loads of commercial products transported at excessive and
unlawful speed to the great danger and expense of the public, for
the repairs of the highways subjected to this use and abuse they
were never designed to endure and to the profit of private individ-
uals.
Capital and Labor
We believe that capital is entitled to just return on investments.
That labor is worthy of a hire commensurate with our American
standards of living and sufficient to maintain the dignity and honor
of all labor whether performed in factory or on farm, and that the
right to organize and bargain, collectively and as an individual,
shall not be denied to any citizen who toils.
We demand the enactment by the State of North Carolina of an
old-age pension law setting up a system of protection for the in-
digent, aged and infirm to apply equally to all of such citizens re-
State Eepublic AN Platform 103
gardless of the vocation followed by such citizens during the pro-
ductive period of life.
Taxes
We demand that all useless offices and agencies existing in the
State be abolished. That a rigid and effective policy of economy be
inaugurated, that the amount of expensive salaries be reduced to a
minimum, that local self-government be reestablished in the sev-
eral counties of the State and local business of the communities be
transacted without bothersome State Department interferences. We
demand that savings thus effected and otherwise possible be used
in the first instance to abolish the general sales and other nuisance
taxes, that the tax on automobile license plates be reduced to a
maximum amount of $4.00 per year on the highest cars and that the
burden of taxation generally shall be removed from the long suffer-
ing taxpayers to the greatest extent possible without destroying the
efficiency and effectiveness of our State, educational, charitable and
other institutions.
Civil Service
If elected to power we pledge the Republican party to place all
employes of the State, including public school teachers, except
laborers and those holding executive positions, in the classified
civil service. This will not only make for efficiency and reduce cost
of government, but it will free State employes from the baleful
influence of professional politicians.
