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.

House  from  the  body  of  the  Senate  and  the  House,  and  such 
Chairman  shall  notify  the  Principal  Clerk  of  the  House  and  of 
the  Senate  who  has  been  appointed.  Such  subcommittee  shall 
meet  daily  and  examine  the  carbon  copies  of  the  public  bills  in- 
troduced and  determine  which  of  such  public  bills  shall  be  print- 
ed and  which  shall  not,  and  stamp  the  copies  accordingly.  If 
the  member,  introducing  a  public  bill,  which  the  committee  shall 
determine,  should  not  be  printed,  so  desires,  he  may  appear  be- 
fore the  committee  at  the  next  meeting  thereof  with  reference 
thereto. 

5  6.  When  a  bill  has  been  introduced  and  referred  to  a  com- 
mittee, if  after  ten  days  the  committee  has  failed  to  report  there- 
on, then  the  author  of  the  bill  may,  after  three  days  public  notice 
given  in  the  Senate,  on  motion  supported  by  a  vote  of  two-thirds 
of  the  Senators  present  and  voting,  recall  the  same  from  the

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 
same  to  the  House  at  the  time  the  bill  or  other  matter  under  con- 
sideration is  reported  to  the  House  or  taken  up  for  consideration. 

When  a  motion  for  the  previous  question  is  made  and  pending 
the  second  thereto  by  a  majority,  debate  shall  cease;  but  if  any 
member  obtains  the  floor,  he  may  move  to  lay  the  matter  under 
consideration  on  the  table,  or  move  an  adjournment,  ansi  -.vhen 
both  or  either  of  these  motions  are  pending  the  question  shall 
stand: 

(  1  )    Previous  question. 

( 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.

tee when  they  are  not  engaged  with  the  committee  or  committees

-Chapter  288,  P.  L.  1935 

Composition — Six  members. 

Personnel — Dudley  W.  Bagley,  Chairman,  Moyock;  Dr.  Jane  S. 
McKimmon,  Raleigh;  W.  Kerr  Scott,  Haw  River;  Dr.  S.  H.  Hobbs, 
Jr.,  Chapel  Hill;  J.  L.  Home,  Jr.,  Rocky  Mount;  George  M.  Ste- 
phens, Asheville.

six  years. 

Compensation — Chairman,  $4,000;   members  l)oard,  expenses  only. 

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.

ture to  meet  with  the  Governor  and  formulate  parole  policies.  The

[  66  ] 


The  Advisory  Pakole  Board  67 

Compensation — Commissioner,  |4,500.00;  Assistant  Commissioner, 
$3,126.00;  four  investigators,  $2,064.00;  one  investigator,  $1,620.00; 
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.

2.  Republican  National  Platform. 

3.  State  Democratic  Platform. 

4.  State  Republican  Platform. 


[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.

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

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.

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.

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.
