emerged from the great ordeal as "gold tried in the fire."

Hot with righteous indignation, the country unleashed its pent-up powers
and rushed to the fray with a fury and efficiency that brought confusion and
terror to our enemies and wonder and joy to our friends. The world was
first dazed and then delighted at the spectacle of a mighty nation going to
war, desiring nothing but good and fearing nothing but God.
In this inspiring drama of ideals in arms, North Carolina played a noble
part.

we were pouring out our blood and treasure in order to dig up militarism
and branch, and burn it in the unquenchable tire of humanity's righteous
wrath. The press in ten million flaming headlines proclaimed that we were
in a death grapple with the very soul of war, and that the Nation must never
lower its arms until Prussianism and all its preachments should be swept
from the earth for ever and for ever.

now behooves us to make every needful sacrifice to
perpetuate these ideals in increased purity and power. The finest memorial
we can build to our brave is a State that will rank as high over here as
they did "over there."
Our first thought in the building of this State should be the welfare of the
children, for "the child is father to the man." Every child has a natural
right to his father's protecting care. Neither the sins of the father nor the
weakness of the mother can abridge in any degree this inherent right. It
follows that every child has a right to know who his father is. The black
letter law that a child can be a nullius filius, a son of nobody, is as base in
morals as it is false in biology. Our whole law on this subject is antiquated

The old argument that one man ought not to be

taxed to educate the child of another has gone into the discard, and any man
who cherishes this once popular notion is ashamed to admit it.
But our works have not kept pace with our faith, and this General Assembly should resolutely set its face to execute the mandate of the people, who,
by a majority of more than one hundred thousand, have decreed that every
child in North Carolina must have the opportunity to go to school at least six
months in the year. To provide the machinery and the money for carrying
out this constitutional mandate is at once the plain duty and the high privilege
of this General Assembly.
A bill in the nature of a suggestion will be submitted in due time to your
appropriate committees. This administration is not wedded to the details
of any particular bill, but the six-months school must be maintained. Therefore, I urge you, gentlemen, not to indulge in destructive criticisms of the bill,
but to point out how the thing can be done in a better way. Such information
will be received with joy by the very people who have taxed their energies in
framing the best bill possible under the circumstances.
One principle I desire to emphasize, the child is the ward of the State. The
organic law of the State requires that every child shall have the benefit of
a six-months school, no matter where the child may live. While it is the
duty of counties and communities, this in no way relieves the State of its
supreme obligation to the child. Therefore, it is the duty of this General
Assembly to make it absolutely certain that the schoolhouse door shall be
open to every child in our borders for six months in the year.
point rests upon the State.
Hoio Can They Be Taught Except There Be a Teacher?
For some years the salaries paid the teachers in our public schools have
been inadequate. During the last two years school teachers would have
starved but for the assistance of relatives and friends. It is simply impossible to keep schools open under these conditions, and the State is confronted
with the necessity of increasing the wages paid teachers in our public schools

a teacher who holds a first-grade certificate, sixty-five dollars. Such a law
would in no way prevent the payment of higher salaries in special tax districts and in our cities and towns.

Coupled with and as a part of the compulsory school law should be a child
labor law. The first sections of the act should provide for compulsory attendance upon school, the later sections should make it unlawful for any mill or
district in
factory to employ any child between the ages of eight and fourteen during
the public school term. Of course no child under seventeen can be employed
under existing laws.

The weakness of child labor legislation has been that it has dealt with the
subject only in a negative way. It has declared that the child shall not work,
but has not concerned itself with what the child shall do. The treatment
of the problem has been not unlike that of the mother who told the servant to
go out in the yard and see what the children were doing and make them stop

child shall not work, and furthermore that he shall go to school.
In fact,
the law should be primarily a part of the educational policy of the State, and
only in an incidental way a child labor law. The law should be enforced by
the officers of the educational department, and it should be the duty of the
truant officer to go out and find the child.
Provision might be made with proper safeguards for permitting a child
between twelve and fourteen to work in a factory after the public school term
has expired, provided a certificate can be obtained showing that the child had
actually attended the school during the entire term.
Sanitary Closets
As a part of the general welfare scheme, I make the following additional

recommendations. A general law should be enacted making it compulsory for
the owner of property on which a closet is located within three hundred feet
of the dwelling-house of any other person, to maintain a sanitary closet in
accordance with plans and specifications approved by the State Board of
Health. Such sanitary closets would prevent the undue spread of typhoid

Especial attention should be given to toilets

and both races. The necessity for such facilities is apparent and imperative.

North Carolina's part of this
appropriation will be about two million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually, and in order to obtain this sum the State will have to make
provision for the expenditure of a similar amount. The vital question is,
where can the money be found? I have been urged to recommend that the
State issue bonds to this amount annually for ten years, making a total bond

measure. It is doubtful that the State could market bonds in this amount.
Even if we could sell the bonds it would be unwise to clothe a central board
with power to say where the roads should be located. Every county in the
State would demand that the roads be run through that county, and the
several townships in the counties would contend among themselves for the
location.
This always happens when the communities that get the roads pay
no more than those that do not. The wise course would seem to be to leave
it to the several counties to say whether or not they both desire and are
willing to pay for these roads.
With respect to sand-clay and gravel roads, the general road law now in
force would seem to be adequate to meet the situation. But with respect to
great macadamized or asphalt highways, new provisions would have to be
made. The new law should provide for establishing these great highways on
the basis of the Federal Government paying one-half the cost, the county onefourth and the abutting landowners on either side one-eighth. This is the
principle followed in paving the streets in our cities, and there is no reason
why it should not be applied to these great permanent highways. The lands
abutting on the highway would be doubled and quadrupled in value. The
time would soon come when water mains and electric light lines would be
established along these highways and the abutting lands would sell by the
front foot instead of by the acre. People living along these highways would
enjoy practically all the advantages of town and city life. Such a scheme
would prevent unseemly scrambles among the people, and communities obtaining the roads would pay for what they got.

Not more than half of the prisoners at the State Farm are capable of doing
regular hard work on the public roads. Two years ago there were in the
Prison 967, and although the last General Assembly enacted two laws calculated to increase the number of prisoners, to wit, the law requiring men convicted of manufacturing whiskey to be sent to the Prison for at least one year,

Considerations of humanity are against working the convicts on the public

and send them out into the world better citizens than when they entered the
prison walls, then we will place them in quarters and surround them with
conditions that will preserve their health, improve their minds and morals,
and build up their self-respect.
These conditions can be found on a farm better than anywhere else, and if
we really desire a model prison, the place to build it up is on the State Farm.
The suggestion that the convicts compete with the farmers is not well
founded. In making their own feed and food supplies the convicts certainly
do not compete with the farmers, for the farmers of North Carolina do not
produce enough of these commodities for their own use, and the amount of
cotton produced on the farm could not possibly affect the price of cotton to

commodities, but for the ever growing numbers that are clamoring for admittance to all our State institutions. The lengthening of the public school term
from four months to six, the increase in the salaries of teachers from $45 to
$65 per month will, in themselves, make necessary additional annual revenues
to the amount of two and a half millions of dollars.
These are large figures, but they are not appalling. Last year the State of
North Carolina paid in taxes for the support of the Federal Government
seventy millions of dollars, a sum greater thau has been expended on the

amendments are necessary

the benefit of the public schools and no county, town, or special district should

be allowed to levy any poll tax whatever. In some of our cities the poll tax
ranges from six to eight dollars. This is an outrageous burden on the head
of the poor man.
2. Wearing apparel, household and kitchen furniture, the working implements of the farmer and the mechanic, the books and scientific instruments
of the student, to the aggregate amount of $300 should be made absolutely
exempt from taxation. The present Constitution authorizes the General
Assembly to make such an exemption, and the Constitution should be amended

so as to make the exemption absolute. North Carolina can get along without
taxing these comforts and conveniences of the home, and they should not
cumber the tax books.
3. Incomes above $1,000 for an unmarried person and $1,500 for a married
person should be taxed, no matter from what source derived, except incomes
from State and Government bonds. Under the present income law wage
earners are the only class of people who pay an income tax. There are numerous cases where the head of the business receives an income from ten to one
hundred thousand dollars a year and pays no income tax, while every person
in his employ who receives a salary of over $1,250 is compelled to pay the
tax.
The Federal law makes no such discrimination, and there is no reason
why the State law should do so.

The present Machinery Act tends to conceal rather than reveal the true value

placed upon the books at its true value the tax rates would be confiscatory.

believe that in the long run it pays to tell the truth about anything. We may

I devoutly believe that if we shall resolve to about face and tell the exact

To this end I urge you to clothe the Tax Commission with ample powers

convinced that a conscientious effort, backed by proper machinery,

in more than doubling the tax value of the property on the books.
I believe that the true value is treble the assessed value, taking the State as
a whole. If I did not believe this I would not be interested in the subject.
But if we expect the people to deal fairly with the Government, then the
Government must deal fairly with the people. It would not be fair to double
or treble valuations and to allow current rates of taxation to continue. In
order to keep faith with the people I recommend that this General Assembly
cut the property tax half in two except the tax levied for the benefit of the
schools, and I recommend that this be reduced one-fourth.
In addition to this
action on the part of the State, the General Assembly should require counties
and towns and special districts to cut all their ad valorem taxes half in two
except the taxes levied for the support of the schools, and these should be
reduced one-fourth. The results of such a law would be fourfold.
1. We would put an end to the debauchery of the people by winking at
falsehood and fraud in the matter of taxation.
2. We would get rid of unequal valuations.
3. We would more than double the value of property on the books, or
secure increased revenues.
4. We would appear before the world as a wealthy State with a reasonable
tax rate, instead of a poor State with an exceedingly high rate.
There is a reasonable difference of opinion as to just when this work should
be undertaken. I think we ought to do it now. We could extend the time for
the work let the taxes fall due on the first day of December instead of the
first day of October, and make such other and further extensions as would

REPORT OF SPECIAL TAX COMMISSION
of
North Carolina:
Joint resolution No. 46 of the General Assembly of 1917, reciting that the
present system of taxation in this State
is
one of
many
years standing, and
that the people of North Carolina should be accorded both a just and equitable
and at the same time up-to-date system of taxation, made provision for a
Special Tax Commission "to make an extensive investigation and submit to
this or the next General Assembly a comprehensive plan or plans of taxation
that they be also requested to make an exhaustive study of the practicability
of the separation of the sources of State and local revenue
and should an
;
amendment
be necessary, they are further requested to

submit one or more forms of amendment in accordance with their recommendations."
The commission appointed by, and under authority of, that resolution, begs
leave to submit the following report
Owing to the many and burdensome duties imposed by the war on every
member of the commission, our investigations have not been as extensive as
they would otherwise have been, but we feel that as far as we have gone
we have followed sound principle.
The work of the commission became more difficult than originally anticipated by developments of the war period which, by largely decreasing purchasing power, has made it necessary to increase appropriations to State
institutions, and by greatly increasing costs of living conditions has made
imperative the necessity for providing largely increased salaries for teachers

its
levy of general property tax for the
uses of the State government to the extent of five cents on each one hundred
dollars of property and add this amount to the present State levy of twenty
cents for schools, making the State levy for this purpose twenty-five cents on
each hundred dollars of value, or an increase of twenty-five per cent.

Second. There must be made in the coming year the regular quadrennial
assessment of real estate. The last assessment period, 1915, fell .at a time
of general depression and low values incident to the disturbances of the
European war. The four years since that assessment was made, however,
have been years of unprecedented prosperity, and real estate values have
increased enormously. It should be confidently expected that, with the State
contributing from its customary levy for its own uses a twenty-five per cent
increase of the school levy, and with the great increase in wealth for the last
four years in this State, and with the knowledge that increased assessments
of property will contribute in larger proportion to the maintenance of the
schools, there should be no difficulty in getting such increase in property values
for taxation, under machinery which you will provide, as will furnish ample
funds for a fifty per cent increase in teachers' salaries.
Emergency Measures for State Income

This leaves, then, the burden, as an emergency measure, of finding sources
make up for its present deficit,
and for the increased cost of government and maintaining State institutions
for the next two years, but also to provide against the deficit that would
otherwise be made for the future by the surrender of five cents of its present
levy approximately $500,000 to the public school fund.
Under existing constitutional limitations there is but one source from which
it can be supplied
privilege or license taxes and from these only by levying
such rates of tax as would under normal conditions be considered excessive.
The commission was unanimous in its view that for the next two years the
necessary taxes for this purpose should be levied upon luxuries, or at least
upon such articles as could not be considered absolute necessities, and following this line of thought the following emergency special taxes are recomof additional income for the State not only to

That the rates of the automobile tag tax, now collected by the
Secretary of State, be doubled, except on automobile trucks, and that the

Second. That a tax of five per cent upon the sale price of all proprietary

The first tax suggested, the increase of the tag tax on automobiles, would
yield for the year beginning June 1, 1919, approximately five hundred thousand

dollars.
No accurate estimate can be made of the yield of the other taxes suggested,
but within common knowledge they would yield large revenue, and they are
articles that can be done without by those who are not able and who do not
wish to buy. We believe the Finance Committees of the General Assembly
will be able to complete a revenue measure, with these additions to the subjects of special taxes now embraced in the revenue law, which will yield
sufficient revenue for the next two years.
Constitutional
Amendments Proposed
Looking to the future, the commission recommends the submission by the

General Assembly to the people of the State, to be voted on at the next general
election, amendments to the Constitution of the State for the following purposes
To
two dollars, all of it to go to the public school fund

and municipalities to be prohibited from levying
any poll tax the payment of poll tax as a prerequisite to voting to be abolished, and that the two-year residence requirements be changed to one year.
2. That the authority in the present Constitution to exempt from taxation
wearing apparel, household and kitchen furniture, the mechanical and agricultural implements of mechanics and farmers, libraries and scientific instruments, to the value of three hundred dollars, be made mandatory.
3. That the ad valorem tax on intangible personal property, the income from
which is limited by statute of this State, be limited to ten per cent of the
income accruing on such property.
4. That the proviso in section 3 of article 5 of the Constitution, prohibiting
the taxing of income derived from property taxed, be repealed, leaving
authority in the discretion of the General Assembly to tax income from all
sources except government bonds, above exemption of $1,000 for unmarried
persons, and $1,500 for husband and wife, with maximum tax of six per cent.

Bills to effectuate the
[Session
recommendations herein made will be placed at the
disposal of appropriate committees of the General Assembly.
The first amendment suggested, with respect to poll tax, will not affect
the revenue of the State Treasury, as none of the poll taxes now levied go to
the State Treasury, except twelve cents of the poll tax redistributed to the
counties in the pension fund, but will increase the public school fund, and will
it impossible for counties, special districts and municipalities to run
make
the poll tax up to a rate that at the present time is undoubtedly a real hardship in some cases, and is almost universally condemned. The recommendations, in this connection, to
remove the
poll tax
requirement with respect to
suffrage, is perhaps outside the scope of the commission's duties, but as
it
was dealing with the poll tax, and as the suffrage provision has in practice
come to be generally recognized as an evil, and as offering incentive to the
exercise of immoral influence by both parties in close counties and districts,
instead of a measure in the interest of the purity of the ballot, as it was
we
meet with general approval.

some revenue (not
an important amount, we assume), but we believe that we have gotten away
from the time when the citizen should be required to encumber the tax records
of the State, counties and municipalities, with an annual inventory of wearing
apparel, cooking utensils; household and kitchen furniture, tools of mechanics,
agricultural implements, libraries, scientific instruments, etc., of a combined
total value of less than three hundred dollars.
The third recommendation, limiting the total ad valorem tax for all purposes
on all forms of solvent credits to ten per cent of the accruing income, while
materially reducing the rate of tax on this class of property, particularly in
municipalities, will, in the opinion of the commission, and in the experience
of other states, increase the revenue from this class of property by taking
from the citizen any valid excuse for evasion of the law, and enabling the
taxing authorities of the State and counties, with good conscience, to adopt
available means of enforcement that will get this class of property on the
tax books. After being listed at full value, and the maximum tax paid, the
holder would still have 5.4 per cent net on a six per cent paper, or 3.6 per
cent on four per cent savings bank deposits. Tax rates in some of our cities
would now take more than half the income of six per cent paper, and practically all of the income of the four per cent bank deposits.
The fourth amendment would enable the General Assembly to extend the
scope of the income tax. now restricted 'to income from salaries and fees, to
include income from all sources except interest on government bonds, and thus
open up to the State an important new source of revenue, upon lines already
approved in practice in other states and countries.
The resolution under which this commission is acting requested that we
"make an exhaustive study of the practicability of the separation of the
sources of State and local revenue." If this amendment is approved, it will
place it in the power of the State to live without reliance upon the general
property tax for its own use, and thus inaugurate, if desired, a policy of
segregation, by leaving to the local communities all the general property tax,
and by finding its own support in privilege, franchise, license, inheritance and
income taxes, but the amendment does not irrevocably commit the State to
such a policy should experience show it to be unwise.

levies at the present time a general property tax of 47 2/3 cents
on each hundred dollars of assessed value of property. Of this levy twenty

cents is for the general school fund, and is retained in the counties where
collected five cents is for a supplementary and equalizing school fund, and
four cents is for Confederate pensions,

and is distributed back to the counties. It is now proposed that this General

in total revenue, based upon assessed values at this time, to approximately a
million and three hundred thousand dollars. For the State to divorce itself
entirely from the collection of property taxes for its own uses it will only
be necessary for the following General Assembly to find the means of replacing this amount of its revenue, and the adoption of this amendment will enable

As an assurance to the people of the State that the General Assembly would
never use this authority oppressively, the commission recommends that the
limitations be placed in the amendment to the constitution that the tax cannot
be applied to incomes of less than $1,000 to unmarried persons and $1,500 to
husband and wife, and that, under no schedule of graduated rates shall the
rate exceed six per cent on large incomes. Within these limitations the
matter would be left to the discretion of the General Assembly.
The Budget System
While not clearly within its scope, the commission considers the collection
and expenditure of public revenue closely related, and that the exercise of
authority on both sides of the ledger should not only be the subject of constant watchcare, but that the most systematic measures of safeguard should
be provided against excesses in either the levying and collection of public

revenue, or in its expenditure.
With the rapid growth of public expenditures, the use of the budget system
The hurried sessions of the
is rapidly coming into favor in American States.
General Assemblies do not furnish ample opportunities, even with the most
and painstaking service of appropriation committees, to make complete survey of all the avenues of public expenditure.
We earnestly recommend to the early consideration of the General Assembly the creation of some
authority, clothed with ample power of investigation, whose duty it shall
be to scrutinize every avenue of expenditure of public funds, to make diligent
investigation of future necessities, and to have prepared for the General
Assembly when it meets a budget of proposed appropriations combined into
one bill. With its work thus blocked out in advance, the Appropriations
Committees would have time to make such ample investigations as would be
satisfactory to the General Assembly and the people of the State.
Budget Commissions have been created in many States, and composed in
a wide variety of ways. While the work of such a commission is recommendatory, its work is highly important, and it should be constituted in close

touch with the people. The expenditure of public money is preeminently

the function of the direct representatives of the people. As a suggestion for
consideration we recommend that such a commission be created by this
General Assembly on the opening day of its session, and that the chairman
of the Committees on Finance and Appropriations at each session of the General Assembly, together with the Governor of the State, constitute the Budget
Commission to report to the succeeding General Assembly, and with provision that no bill carrying appropriation from the State Treasury shall
be considered^ by the General Assembly until the general budget bill shall
have been passed, and that no appropriation afterwards made shall be valid
unless the money to pay same is in the Treasury, or unless the bill carrying
the appropriation levies a special tax to pay same.

I favor this at present only as a means of meeting
the present deficit in the State Treasury, and do not favor the increase of this
tax to be turned into the State Treasury for general purposes as a permanent
system. I believe that all automobile taxes, as a general rule, should be used
for the purpose of creating a State Public Road Fund. I concur in this
recommendation only as a temporary measure.
I desire to further recommend that the present requirement that the "pauper
counties," as they are called, shall levy a special tax of fifteen cents on the
one hundred dollars value of property and forty-five cents on the poll before
they can participate in the distribution of "The State Equalization Fund," be
repealed.
I can see no just reason why the weaker counties of the State
should be "doubled taxed" before they are permitted to share in the State
Equalization Fund.

To
is
received from the Governor:
the General Assembly:
In my biennial message I recommended that the Department of Agriculture

be authorized to erect for its own use a building in keeping with the magnitude
and the dignity of the industry it represents.
A bill providing for such a building has been introduced. After the introduction of this bill it appeared that the authorities of the North Carolina
College of Agriculture and Engineering needed a building for taking care of
the extension workers who have headquarters at the college. This Agricultural Extension work, which is most vital, is done under the auspices of a
joint
committee composed of
Department
The Governor is
five representatives of the
culture and five representatives of the college.
of Agriex-officio
chairman of this joint committee.

On last Friday there was a meeting of the joint committee, and after a
conference that lasted for three hours, the Governor was unanimously requested by the committee to submit to the General Assembly his own views.
In submitting these views I am not speaking as the representative of the
college, or the
department, or the joint committee, but as the representative
of all the people of North Carolina.
recommend
That only one building be authorized.
2. That this building be erected on the grounds
I
1.
of the Agricultural
and
Engineering College.
3. That the Home Demonstration work, which is done by women and with
women, be concentrated at the State Normal and Industrial College at Greensboro, and that all workers in this department be quartered there.
The argument in favor of a single building is the saving of $150,000, and
The entire forces
this is an argument that we are not in a position to ignore.
of the Agricultural Department and of the Extension Workers located at
Raleigh can be taken care of in a single building costing $250,000, and to
spend an additional $150,000 to provide quarters for only a portion of these

workers would be a wasteful expenditure of the people's money.
This one building ought to be located on the college grounds for the following reasons
1. It would be practically impossible for some of these Extension Workers
to work elsewhere. Their work is so vitally related to the college that it
cannot be done efficiently at any other place than on the college grounds.
2. It would be helpful to the Department of Agriculture to be located on
the college grounds. The presence of the large body of young men earnestly
endeavoring to master the science of good farming would be a constant inspiration to every official in the department. The- college is the mill from
which the department must draw its office experts and its trained field workers
unless it goes outside the State of North Carolina to get them. It would be
immensely helpful to the department to be able to see every day the processes
of this mill.
3.
ment
In
my
opinion a
much
larger
number
of farmers
in the course of the year if it should be located
would visit the departon the college grounds

than visit it at the present time. Every State meeting of an agricultural

kind that is held in Raleigh is always held at the college. The farmers who
come for the short course during the winter, the farmers and their wives who
come to the Farmers' Congress during the winter, the farmers who come to the
State Fair, would necessarily be thrown in contact with the work of the
department.
The presence of the department would be immensely helpful to the college,
and I earnestly submit that the department should take precisely the same
interest in the work of the college as any normal father takes in the work of
his son.
The college is the natural child of the department. It would be an
inspiration to the young men to have ever before their eyes the great work the
Department of Agriculture is doing for the farm life of the State, and to see
the emphasis the State is placing on the importance of this work. Again, the
students could fill minor positions in the department, and many a poor boy
could in this way be helped along in his agricultural course.
Again, the very bigness of the thing would be helpful. We would have
out there a great agricultural power plant sending its forces to every part of
the State, and touching farm life at every point. The companionship, the
constant elbow touch, woufcl be helpful both to the college and to the department. Every student who left there would know and tell about the work of
the department. Every field worker of the department would know and tell
about the college.
Under
this plan
it is
my
belief that the
at the college that take the agricultural course
would
number
of students
in a very short time be
more than doubled.

The Home Demonstration Work should be concentrated at the State Normal
and Industrial College for the same reason that the work for the men and
is concentrated at Raleigh.
This plan would release to the State the lot now occupied by the Department
of Agriculture. On this lot there could be erected a great memorial building
in honor of the soldiers who represented North Carolina in the world war.
In this building could be preserved all the records and relics and souvenirs
of the war, and all the material now preserved and collected in the Hall of
History. It would be a part of and connected with the Museum, so that the
exhibitions in the Museum and those in the memorial building could be seen

time.
be, and should be, provided not less than twenty

committee rooms for the use of the General Assembly. Nothing
would do more to enable the members to do their work with intelligence and
dispatch than convenient and commodious rooms.
The Department of the Adjutant General, that is now crowding the Health
Department out of rooms that it sorely needs, could also be taken care of in
this memorial building.
It would be a very suitable and proper place for the
housing of the department that was the clearing house for the State's work
In this bnilding there could

Your committee under the resolution offered by the Senator from Surry,
asking for a report on certain matters connected with the State-wide Road
Bill 196, respectfully report as follows
1. That the proposed appropriation for Federal aid funds is a rider to the
Postoffice Appropriation bill, and there is every reason to believe that this
bill will pass, and that the appropriation for good roads in this and other
states will be available.
We attach hereto certain communications which
may be of interest to the Senate, and which we believe make it incumbent
on this General Assembly to make proper provision to the end that North
Carolina may receive her part of this Federal aid.

of the various roads constituting the State
with sufficient definiteness, we believe, to the satisfaction of the members of

the General Assembly, that the roads will run by the most practical routes
from county seat to county seat and to the important towns in every county in
the State. Your committee believes this is the fairest method of locating
the State roads, as in this way there is no danger of any community being
overlooked or slighted. This method will insure to the State a magnificent
system of hard-surfaced roads in every part of the State, and at the same
time will not in any way interfere with the county system of roads, except
that it will relieve the various counties of the burdens of the roads which
comprises the State highways and leave the counties free to build up their
subsidiary and connecting roads.

E. C. Duncan, AVake County, Guy V.
Roberts. Madison County, the Hon. Bennehan Cameron, who resigned to
become a member of the General Assembly, from Durham County. The terms
of all the members of the commission expire in April, 1919.
A minority of the committee is of the opinion that it would be better to
amend chapter 113 of the Laws of 1915, which is the State Highway Commission Bill, and provides for a State Highway Commission consisting of the
Governor, State Geologist, a professor of civil engineering of the University
of North Carolina, and a professor of the North Carolina State College of
Agriculture and Engineering, and ten members, one from each congressional
district, to be appointed by the Governor, three of whom shall belong to the
minority party.
The majority of your committee is of the opinion that this commission so
represented and consisting of fourteen members will be entirely too large and
unwieldy and the majority recommend that chapter 113 of the Laws of 1915
be amended by making the commission to consist of the Governor, State
sion Bill, and provide for a State Highway Commission consisting of the
eastern section of the State, one from the western section of the State, and
one from the central section of the State, one of the members to be appointed
by the Governor to be of the minority party.
Your whole committee believes it would add to the efficiency of the commission if the appointed members be paid such reasonable amount in addition to their expenses as would justify them in giving more time to their
very important duties.
Your committee believes that these amendments should be to the original
act of 1915 and not to the measure now pending before the Senate.
4. That while your committee believes that the State of North Carolina can
sufficiently trust the commission now provided by law or the commissions provided by either of the plans hereinbefore suggested, and that such commission
or commissions would render most efficient and faithful service to the State.

we believe that good business would suggest that all the books and accounts of the commission should be audited annually by a certified public
accountant, to be paid for by tbe State, and that the report of such accountant should be made to the Governor. Your committee would also suggest an
amendment to the pending measure a provision that the said State Highway
Commission should provide at least twenty working camps and outfits, and
that two of said camps and outfits should be employed in each congresyet

Dr.

of North Carolina, having heard with great sorrow
Kemp Plummer
Battle, Professor Emeritus of History

and former President of the University of North Carolina, who died at his
home in Chapel Hill on the 4th day of February, 1919, is desirous of expressing its sense of loss which is thus brought to the University and to the State,
Whereas, for almost three-quarters of a century the life of our State has
been enriched by the example of his unselfish devotion to duty as educator,
statesmen and public official and,
Whereas, after the blighting effects of the Civil War the State University
was reopened and revitalized largely through his efforts, and under his
leadership as President, and foundations were laid for growth and expansion
to its present large and useful place in the life of our people and,
Whereas, as teacher, author, and public speaker, Dr. Battle has rendered
invaluable service in the promotion of historical research and the preservation of the historical records of our State, and as a citizen he has exemplified
the highest ideals of a cultured gentleman and has, in all of his relations
of the death of Dr.
with his fellow -man, displayed the true type of a Christian

Now, Therefore, Be it Resolved, by the Senate, the House of Representor
tives concurring
That in the death of Dr. Battle the University and the State of North
Carolina have lost a public servant whose career marked him as a teacher
with a genius for inspiring his students, as an adviser of sound judgment, as
a friend of sympathetic nature and of wide and splendid ideals of public
service, whose long and useful life has been devoted unselfishly to the promotion of education, moral uplift, and all things that are helpful in the betterment of our people whose life has been an inspiration to the younger generations that have come under his influence, and whose career should forever
be a shining example to those who shall come hereafter.
Resolved further, That this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the
Senate and the House of Representatives as a testimony of the high esteem
in which the people of North Carolina held Dr. Battle as a man and their
confidence in him as a public servant, and their admiration of his splendid
life's work.
Be it further resolved, That a committee consisting of three members of the
Senate, to be named by the President of the Senate, and five members of the
House of Representatives, to be named by the Speaker, be appointed to attend
the funeral of Dr. Battle.

dear Mr. Secretary
I have received today from the Secretary of War in response to my

under which the desire of the General Assembly and of
the people of North Carolina can be gratified. I think, myself, that it is of
the first importance that the people of North Carolina be given a chance to
publicly show to our troops while their organizations are still intact the evidences of our love and of our appreciation of the gallant services the troops

have rendered and of the heroic sacrifices they have made for America and

shall use every proper means within my power to meet the wishes of the
people of North Carolina in this matter.
With assurances
My Dear
of high esteem.
Senator Simmons:
am
Very truly yours,

F. M. Simmons.
have just received your
letter of the 6th,
transmitting a copy of the joint resolution of the General Assembly of North

Carolina, expressing the desire of the people of that State for an opportunity
to review the troops of the State contained in the Thirtieth Division of the
American Expeditionary Forces, and suggesting demobilization at Camp

Greene, with an opportunity for a visit to Raleigh.
I have had the whole matter of visits by organized bodies of troops to State
capitals and other cities studied with a view to facilitating as far as possible
such visits. I agree with you entirely that the soldiers are entitled to these
welcomes from their friends at home, and that their friends are entitled to
see the splendid condition in which the boys return, not as individuals, but in
all the pride and beauty of their organized strength.
We have already been
able to do a good deal of this, but I am sure few people realize what the
railroad service means in moving a division of troops. About 500 men can
travel on one train, a division of 25,000 men would require 50 trains, and if
the distance was of any length it would require one-half of all the tourist
sleeping car equipment of the country to be assembled at one place, at one
time, to
move the
troops.
However, we are studying the problem constantly, and as each organization

is scheduled to return we endeavor to find out how we can afford it the fullest
opportunity of being seen in its home State and among its friends. I will
have the question of the Thirtieth Division especially studied, and will reply
to you fully with regard to it as the study is completed.
Cordially yours,
Newton D. Baker,
Secretary of War.

Hon. Thomas W. Bickett,

State Capitol, Raleigh, North Carolina.
My
Dear Governor:
am
inexpressibly shocked, this morning, to find in
the copy of the Raleigh News and Observer of February 19, 1919, just come to
hand, an account of the dissatisfaction publicly expressed by members of the
North Carolina Legislature, and other prominent officials, with the passage
of my printed report dealing with resistance to the draft in that State. Needless to say, it is a matter of the deepest concern to myself to discover that the
statements in any part of that report are not consonant with the facts as understood by those who know them, that I regret profoundly that anything contained therein has given just ground for the sentiments recorded in the interviews printed in the Raleigh News and Observer.
Let me say at the outset that you will do me a great favor if you will take
the earliest opportunity to convey to those members of the Legislature who
have noticed the matter my expressions of sincere regret that anything was
found in the report reflecting unjustly upon the honor of the State in respect
of the attitude of any portion of its population towards the draft.
It has
been a matter of constant observation in this office that the draft was administered in the State of North Carolina in a manner to reflect the greatest pride
upon both the Government and citizens of that State and at various parts
of my printed report you will And ample data testifying to North Carolina's
splendid record in the raising of America's greatest army. In the administration of this office it has been my assiduous effort, and I believe, with a success
virtually universal in every State, to maintain the most harmonious relations
between the Federal and the State authorities in the administration of the
Selective Draft. And I take this opportunity to place on record my personal
appreciation of your whole hearted cooperation with the Federal Government
and of the splendid results achieved under your direction by the entire Selective Service administration in the State of North Carolina, and especially for
the admirable solution by you of the unusual difficulties connected with draft
resistance.
In this connection I must especially add my satisfaction at the
admirable solution achieved by you in handling the particular situation which
arose at the time referred to in the above cited instance.
;
The explanation of the unfortunate quotation in my report of the newspaperaccount which has been criticised is as follows

which was evoked from the recalcitrant selectives.
The incident does, when judged in its large aspects, serve as a lesson to the
people of the United States that the heartless and unsympathetic enforcement of the rigid letter of the law was a method not chosen by the Selective
Service officials of North Carolina and serves as a testimony to the efficacy of
tact and humanity in the administration of a drastic law. Your own conduct
in applying similar methods in Ashe County has always seemed to me a
splendid instance of the way in which the State authorities, by the use of fine
tact and judgment demonstrated that, it was possible when a community was
treated reasonably and humanely, to secure results which would have been
impossible under tactless and unsympathetic methods of administration.
It was in fact with the view of illustrating to the people of the United
States the wisdom of employing such methods in the enforcement of that law
that the incident in North Carolina was deemed to be of value for general
observation and imitation of its lessons.
That the specific account printed
contained errors of fact is a matter of the deepest regret. But I believe that

Subject
Second report of the Provost Marshal General, ending 20 December,

212 of said report, down to the words "Ashe County" on page 212 of said

report.
Sir
The above mentioned selective service officers for Mitchell County,
North Carolina, have had their attention called to the above referred-to portion of your report, and more particularly to the story told by one Robert W.
Hobbs, which you have incorporated into your report.
We desire to say very frankly to you that we consider this article a vile
slander and a calumny upon the fair name of our county, and we wish to as:

truth in this article to lend color to it and to afford a leg upon which to huild
it, and the story itself is the product of an abnormal, diseased, and possibly a
drunken imagination.
There is no such mountain
in
North Carolina as "Tar Heel."
The North
Carolinians obtained the name "Tar Heel" because a brigade of North Carolinians in the Civil War under Gen. A. P. Hill were the last soldiers to leave
the hill at the battle of "Seven Oaks." We have furnished our proper quota
toward making the world safe for democracy, and our people are very much
alive to the fact that Woodrow Wilson is now President of the United States.
We are connected with the outside world both by telephone and telegraph and
have forty miles of up-to-date railroad running entirely through our county,
and w e also have the reputation, based on fact, of having the best horse stock
of any county in this State.
We are justly proud of the fact that we are

counties in this State had from fifty up to two hundred and forty-eight deserters at the
same
time, as will be
shown by

from the Gov-
will be shown
that Mitchell County, according to the official records, was far below the
average in this State in desertions and delinquency and so far there has
been practically no reference made in the press or otherwise to conditions in
the other counties of this State with, possibly, the exception of Ashe County,
ernor's office at Raleigh, North Carolina, 22 June, 1918
so
it
and the citizenship of Mitchell County justly
feel that
they have been harshly
dealt with.
The reward
by the Government for deserters absolutely failed to

law to any activity toward their apprehension, and
there were no trails guarded, no artificial hooting of the owl or cooing of the
dove, and no posses organized to hunt these men, and never at any time any
danger whatever of a pitched battle with these boys.
Mr. Handy, speeial agent of the Department of Justice, did not go out
among the people and did not deal with the people at large whatever, and so
far as any of the members of these boards know, he was never outside of the
town of Bakersville except passing along the public road from Toecane to
Bakersvife; and all the statements as to his traveling out among the people
above referred to are certainly not founded upon truth. Mr. Handy did not
issue any passes whatever to any of these men, and the pass incorporated in
this article was written by the chairman of the local board and approved by
Mr. Handy in the lower left hand margin.
When Mr. Handy was here he was shown every courtesy and consideration
by all members of these boards and by all the citizens with whom he came in
contact, but he abused our hospitality and lowered the prestige of the Government and his position by becoming intoxicated in the town of Bakersville upon
"moonshine whiskey" furnished him by Ben Franklin, one of the deserters.
The chairman of the local board notified Mr. Handy what day to come and
meet the deserters and go with them to camp and had all of them in the
courthouse awaiting Mr. Handy's arrival, and the thirteen deserters were
taken to camp by Mr. Handy and the chairman of the local board, and every
offered

one of the said deserters paid his own way to camp, and there was never any
form of resistance on the part of the deserters either before the arrival of Mr.
Handy or after, except that they had just failed to return to camp upon the
request of the chairman of said local board. They had not been bothered by
any
officers or
other persons.
In view of all of the foregoing and in justice to all
members
of these boards
and all other citizens of Mitchell County, we most respectfully request that
you expunge from your said report the article above referred to, and if it is
impossible to so expunge the record, then we urgently request that you issue
a supplemental report correcting said error and give same the widespread
publicity that has been given to your said report.
Respectfully submitted this 21st day of February, 1919.

Gentlemen of the Senate

The income tax amendment is the most vital measure before this General
Assembly, The proposed amendment is the essence of equity and opens the
:
door to a model system of taxation in North Carolina. North Carolina is the

only state in the American Union where the General Assembly is denied the
right to levy such a tax if it is deemed wise and just to do so.
The proposed amendment levies no tax. It simply gives the General Assembly the power to levy
it
whenever in
its
wisdom
it
may
see
fit
to do so.
The
Senate is not called upon to say whether or not the General Assembly should
have such power, but you are called upon to say whether or not the people of
North Carolina shall be given an opportunity to register their opinion on this
question.
A Senator may be conscientiously opposed to an income tax, but it does not

follow that he should deny to the people the same opportunity to express their
conscientious convictions as he claims for himself.
The Special Tax Commission was composed of Mr. Frank Linney, chairman
SENATE JOURNAL
1919]
345
of the Republican Executive Committee; Mr. J. Z. Green, State Lecturer and

Organizer of the Farmers Union Mr. Henry A. Page, State Food Administrator, a legislator of large experience and a man with wide business connections
the chairman of the Corporation Commission, intimately acquainted with tax
conditions in every State in the Union Mr. Jas. H. Pou, known throughout the
State for his broad sympathies with the business life of the State Mr. Yance
Brown, of Asheville. a man of large property interests and who has taken a
great interest in all questions of taxation and the Governor of the State.
This commission, with the exception of Mr. Brown, who did not object
to the income tax, but to other features of the report, unanimously recommended the submission of this amendment. The bill was introduced in the
House by Hon. R. A. Doughton. Ex-Lieutenant Governor and Ex-Speaker of
the House, a legislator of wide experience and conservative patriotism was
referred to the committee, and after a full and thorough discussion was reported favorably by a unanimous vote and passed the House by a unanimous
vote one hundred and four members voting for it and not one against it.
So far as I am advised not a single newspaper in the State has written an
editorial against it, and very many of them have written strong editorials in
its favor.
The Governor of the State, who, however violent the supposition
may be. is at least supposed to be in touch with the thought of the State,
earnestly insisted upon the submission of this amendment in his biennial
message.
This is an array of public opinion almost without parallel in the history of
legislation in North Carolina. And in view of this public opinion I earnestly
desire every Senator to put to himself this question
Although I personally
may believe that taxes ought not to be levied on incomes, still in the face of
the universal demand for this amendment, can I conscientiously say by my
vote that the people of North Carolina shall not be allowed to register their
opinions on this question?
A refusal to allow the people to be heard on this question could not be interpreted in any'other light than that the Senate of North Carolina is afraid
to trust the people on this vital question.
Such a refusal would be a blunder
that no mortal man could defend on the stump, and I earnestly beg the
Assembly not to commit that blunder.
The men who are so deeply in earnest about this matter are not red-headed
revolutionists, they are not wild-eyed reformers, they are not Utopian dreamers.
They are sane, conservative men who frankly recognize that new conditions
demand new remedies. If the Senate of North Carolina shall turn a deaf ear
to these quiet, thoughtful men, I greatly fear that a reaction will take place
in North Carolina that will land extremists in the saddle. All I ask, gentlemen, is that you allow the people to pass upon this vital question, and I am
always content to abide their judgment.

House of Representatives as follows
It is ordered that a message be sent to the Senate inviting

Mr. President
your honorable body into the hall of the House, to hear an address by his
:
Excellency, Governor Bickett, at once.

Respectfully,
Alex. Lassiter,
Principal Clerk.
Upon motion of Senator Brown the President appointed Senator Ferebee and
Senator Stevens as a committee on the part of the Senate to wait upon the
Governor, and thereupon the Senate proceeded to the hall of the House of
Representatives. His Excellency, the Governor, delivered the following address
Gentlemen of the General Assembly:

If the General Assembly were not in session and some stranger should
"I see that your county has
appear in any county in North Carolina and say
no good road connecting it with the surrounding counties this is a serious
disadvantage to the people of your county and if you would like to link up
with the outside world and become a part of the system of roads that would
connect you with every other county in North Carolina, I will put up threefourths of the cost of such road Or roads, if you will put up one-fourth," I am
satisfied that the attitude of any county in North Carolina to such a proposition would be the same as the attitude of Zeb Vance on a certain occasion.
The story runs that while Vance was a member of the General Assembly some
member arose one day and said that there was a man in Raleigh who proposed
to build the Western North Carolina Railroad from Old Fort to Asheville.
"Mr. Speaker, I move
Vance immediately arose from his seat and exclaimed
that we do now adjourn and go out and catch that man."
It is passing strange that because this identical proposition is made by the
State instead of an individual there is a disposition on the part of some members from counties who would reap the largest benefits to reject the proposi:
made to put up all the money instead of threeThis attitude is not unlike that of the pauper who was being carried
A kind-hearted stranger said to the driver of the wagon,
to the poor house.
"Why are you carrying this man to the poor house?" Said the driver, "Because he is so poor that he has not got a bushel of corn." Said the stranger,
"I will give him a bushel of corn."
The pauper looked up and inquired, "Is it
shelled?"
"No," said the stranger, "it is in the ear." Said the pauper,
"Drive on."
God Almighty will not help a man who refuses to make a reasonable effort
to help himself and if there be a county in North Carolina so dead to the
desirability of a good road that will link it up with the balance of the State
as to be unwilling to pay one-fourth of the cost of such road, then that county
ought to be recommended to the kindly ministration of some foreign mis-
tion because the offer is not

Gentlemen, I know North Carolina. I have been in every county in it, and

even though we raise one-half of it through taxes paid to the Federal Govern-
ment.
North Carolkia is in no financial condition to build a state-wide system of

roads costing from twenty to forty thousand dollars a mile. We do not need
such a system, and what we do not need is costly at any price. We need a
State system that will link up every county with roads that are reasonably
good.
The first duty of the State is to provide a fairly satisfactory road
service to all of the people and when this has been done we can consider the
building of high-priced roads. I am unwilling to endorse any system that
;
will enable a small fraction of our people to glide over concrete or asphalt

where there is such a congestion of wealth and population and such a

that if you shall see fit to clothe the Governor with the responsibility of

I am emphatically and eternally
opposed to a bond issue and for several reasons
1. It is not a supreme necessity, and only such a necessity could justify such
a course. The proponents of the bond policy themselves confess that it is not
intended to be permanent. Gentlemen, North Carolina cannot afford to make
a four million dollar experiment. If the bond plan is to be permanent it will
pile up a State debt that we cannot afford to carryIf it is not to be a permanent plan, then a great injustice will have been done those sections of the
State that have not been reached when the plan shall be abandoned.

to pile up the bonded indebtedness of this State to many times its present
total.

render it impossible for any person adjudged by a competent board to be an

such a law would be the essence of humanity and of common sense."
The principle above announced has been endorsed by the North Carolina
Social Conference and by the Federated Women's Clubs of North Carolina. A
bill embodying the above principle has been introduced and favorably reported.
The bill has the sanction of the wisest and humanest medical men in the
United States. It is not punishment. It is mercy to make provisions of this
kind.
It is protection to the patient and loving-kindness to generations yet
unborn. I earnestly beg the General Assembly to pass a bill that will mightily
tend to save these unfortunate creatures from the consequences of their own
infirmities, and will in the course of time decrease the number of these people

Dear Sir
want the Senate and people
of North Carolina to
resent with all possible emphasis the statement of Senator P.
W.
know
that
Glidewell on
the floor last night during the debate on the child labor issue that I had
threatened the manufacturers with labor antagonism on account of their
hostility to me.
The charges made against me by Senator Glidewell, which
need not be recited to those who heard them, constitute a very serious reflection
upon
my
official integrity,
and
most earnestly request a speedy investiga-
tion of the entire proposition by the Senate, either before adjournment,
or
immediately thereafter.
It has come to a pretty pass in North Carolina when a representative of
the people feels privileged to attack a State official on the floor of the General
Assembly upon rumor, and I respectfully submit that the public, as well as
myself, is entitled to thorough investigation of the groundless charge made
by Senator Glidewell that I stated the manufacturers were antagonistic to
me and that. I desired this legislation in order to get even with them, and had
300.000 working men behind me.
This is a specific charge which I demand shall be established by proof or
publicly retracted.
For my part, I invite a most searching investigation of every official act of

mine during the ten years I have served in the position to which the people
elected me. Simple justice, man to man, demands it.
I neither asked nor expected a position on the commission created by the
Neal Bill and was not aware that an amendment to place this Department in
it would be offered in either branch of the Assembly.
Feeling the need of
effective child labor legislation at this session, I offered a bill conforming to
the Federal tax amendment, and agreed to nothing else. However, this is
neither here nor there now.
Please take the usual course in starting the investigation, for which
asking and to which I am entitled.

ADDRESS
By Hon. Joseph us
Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, Delivered Before the
General Assembly, Thursday, February
13,
1919
"Are there any who doubt man's capacity for self government?" asked
"Let them," he answered, "study the history of North Carolina.
Its early inhabitants were restless and turbulent in their imperfect submission to a government imposed on them from abroad. The administration of
the colony was firm, humane, and tranquil when they were left to take care
of themselves. Any government but one of their own institution was oppressive.
With absolute freedom of conscience, benevolent reason was the simple
rule of their conduct. They were tender and open, gentle to the weak, and
fierce only against tyranny." And this great Massachusetts historian declared
that "the first voice for dissolving all connection with Great Britain came, not
from the Puritans of New England, the Dutch of New York, the planters of
Virginia, but from the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians of North Carolina."
This was the estimate of no partial historian of the character and achievements of the men and women who laid deep and broad the foundations of our
simple and stately commonwealth of which this dignified capital, the perfection of architectural taste, is the best symbol.
We do not gather today
to pay tribute to the men whose capacity for government was declared to be
the model for the world. We do not come either to honor them or the brave
and patriotic men of other periods of crisis, whose deeds from Moore's Creek
and Gettysburg to the valorous smashing of the Hindenburg line, make them
immortal. We have assembled rather to take stock of our own generation and
to seek a double portion of their spirit, that we may hand down, not only
unimpaired, but broadened and bettered, the institutions they bequeathed to
us.
They blazed paths in the primeval forests, fought against foes and hardships, and created a commonwealth where freedom was the cornerstone
freedom of worship for they were a religious folk who were as ready to
fight for their faith as for their possessions freedom of speech, freedom of the
press, freedom in its broadest and fullest sense.
They lived the free rural
life, with few near neighbors, and self-dependence begat the virtue of an independent individualism which has stood in the path of the community spirit
which is as essential in our day as it was unknown among the early settlers.
Nathaniel Macon held that no man should have a neighbor near enough for
him to hear his dog bark. Today our civilization, by means of good roads,
and schools, and communication, looks to wipe out the isolation which our
fathers loved. They did not hesitate to cross the ocean to set up housekeeping
on their own account uninfluenced by the ways of their fathers in the old
country. We will be worthy of them by walking in new paths and refusing
to be bound by the traditions of the elders or adopting the habits of life of a
Our paths diverge, but our lives in fundamentals are of
past generation.
They faced the stern issues of their day and solved them in
their mould.
the light of their generation. We face, not such privations and enemies as
did not deter them, but problems more complex, responsibilities more imperative, and opportunities larger than they dreamed of even in their faith in the
greatness of the New World.

in the quieter clays of peace we succeed in the great adventure of making

our democracy as safe for the world (that part of it committed to us) as our
brave soldiers and sailors made the world safe for democracy. It has been
an hundred years since April 6, 1917, if we judge by what has happened in
our world. Thrones have toppled, empires have passed away, civilizations
have crumbled, traditions have mouldered, creeds have been shattered, temples have fallen, and all things in empires ruled by force have become as
ancient as if centuries had passed, though as late as July the War God
threatened the safety of Paris and the Sea Wolf gave fear to Dover. It is
only a few days ago when freemen everywhere feared that right would not
triumph. But we live today in a new heaven and a new earth. Suddenly, as
by a miracle (who will say the hand of God was not in the machine guns of
freedom?) old things have passed away, all things have become new. This is
true not only of the world of the central empires which were defeated and
humiliated. They indeed are groping in the darkness, hoping for a light as
they stumble forward, seeking in a republic some of them are trying to model
after the American pattern, to make themselves worthy of being admitted to a
partnership in the League of Free Nations. It is true also in Russia the bewildered Bear which will find its way out of chaos into light, to be helped
by America and the Allies. But we shall miss the lesson and fail to enter
through the door of opportunity into the house of justice and peace if we do
not realize also that this is also a New World, and that we in America will
never again see the world we knew before the curse of war fell upon mankind. The same houses and trees and flowers give comfort and blessing, for
devastation has not left its blot upon our fields or spires. It is a new world
of ideas, a new world of thought, a new world of changed and changing duties
and demands upon the threshold of which we stand today.
To the timid and the selfish there is dread and apprehension as to what
this New World holds for us. Behind every tree they see Bolshevists
under
every bed there is a red handed anarchist and behind every corner they look
to see a dark lantern thug who will sandbag free government and make it
captive to the Reds. Wars are always followed by unrest, often by a sort of
wanderlust irresponsibility, and by a period of transition that is sometimes
attended by injustice and lawlessness. War lets loose dark, hidden passions
of men made cruel and selfish by the shedding of blood. We may not hope
to escape the results of the hell of war any more than we will fail to receive
the blessing which suffering and sacrifice bring to those of the loftiest mould.
But all change, all criticism of things as they are, all demands for a squarer
deal by civilians and soldiers are not indications that should alarm us. The
only condition that can ever give serious cause for alarm is when men lack
divine dissatisfaction. The satisfied man never made a new road, or blazed
new paths, or made better conditions. Let us not be unduly troubled over
agitation for new laws and new things. Let us welcome advocacy of progress.
Let us use the wisdom of statesmanship to work with men mastered by a desire for change for the better to be secured by peaceful methods under the
laws and the constitution.
But while we will welcome as coworkers all
Americans who seek redress of grievances and propose even radical departures
from old precedents, there is no place in America for men who substitute
force for argument, who defy authority, hate the just restraints of government, and who construe liberty to mean license. There is never a principle

The real spirit in the flesh that will drive out all anarchistic enemies has
cheered every iover of his country during the present week. In the face of
fair and liberal wages, the un-American Bolshevists ordered a reign of terror
in Seattle unless their demands were met. Business and transportation were
paralyzed for a period, the brave Governor called for troops, and women and
children remained indoors to escape the fury of the untamed men whose idea

seemed unfurled for paralysis of business, the country heard for the first
time of Ole^Hanson. He is a riveter by trade, who during the war was elected
mayor of Seattle. He believed in good wages and fair conditions for men
who toil, and he was one of the workers who cooperated with the Government

raised the Red Flag, Ole Hanson, mayor, one hundred per cent American, issued his ultimatum that law and order were supreme in a great American
city that had become honeycombed with the hellish teachings of anarchy. Ole
Hanson spoke their language. He used no smooth words and soon after he
had made it plain that a firing squad would preserve observance to the laws,
the strike was at an end. Strength to the arm of all mayors, and all governors, and all other officials like William B. Wilson, Ernest Lister and Ole
Hanson like Hanson who in this day of transition crush out anarchy as they
would kill the serpent
Such men are the foes of labor as well as of liberty,
and no men in America rejoice so much at the victory over the Reds in Seattle
as the patriotic leaders of labor who stood behind the mayor as he issued his
defiance to those who would destroy everything that we call Americanism.
Wherever the blight of anarchistic Bolshevism raises its head, officers and
people everywhere will follow the practice of the man who made it his business to kill the snake wherever he found it. The carloads of Seattle importations of rioters who are now being transported to other climes is but the first
installment of the excursion trains that will give free rides to all of their like
who come to America to overturn its institutions and plant the seed of sedition and hate. And we will not need many trains now that the first big conspiracy has been strangled and the conspirators hurried out of our country.
For a year and a half there was no business in America but winning the
war. For that period the flower of our manhood was under arms, our mature men and our women were enlisted in the same holy cause. They learned
many things never before dreamed of in their philosophy. First of all we obtained <a new conception of brotherhood which we had denied or refused to
recognize. Mothers in cottages and in fine houses alike had a common anxiety.
a common pride, a common zeal to help their fighting sons. The women
earned by their worth and work, which we had hardly appreciated before, a
new sort of partnership with their brothers. It will never be dissolved. They
have learned we have learned a new comradeship which will abide. It was
forged in the furnace of sacrifice and equality of service. Having gained the
right to equal partnership in war, both men and women will wish no dissolution.
Women will soon be given the ballot in all America as it has been conferred in Great Britain. I could have wished our State had taken the lead in
enfranchising women, and the sooner North Carolina honors itself by opening
the primaries to women the sooner it will show proper recognition of women's
equal part in our larger life, and the quicker it will help to purify politics.
The war swept away bitterness in politics, racial prejudices, religious bigotry.
May they never emerge from their graves to blight the brighter days before us.

neath their bonnie smiles and quiet ways, for you have already observed the
sweet spirit and modesty of our heroic youths, there is a seriousness of purpose born out of the conflict and its deep meaning. They will love peace with
a passion that is beyond the ken of those who have never heard the thunder
of the big guns or smelled the strangling odor of poisonous gas. They will be
better Americans, but they will never be little Americans or provincials.
Do you ask me "Who will rule North Carolina in the coming years?" It is
the men we even now speak of as boys who won the right by their valor in
war and their fellows at home who consecrated themselves to the cause. I

these young men will be equally resolved that predatory wealth and privilege
shall not lord it over the people.
These American boys did not win the conflict over the German Junkers to return home to submit to rule by American
Junkers, for every American who seeks to take from the mouth of labor the
bread it has earned and make government the partner of privilege is a more
dangerous junker than any of the tribe who lived beyond the Rhine. In peace
times we were not able to dethrone them. Even in war they were with us as

And now
that peace has returned they are already stretching out

and to transfer the burden of the war to the backs of the toilers. Liberty in
America has more to fear from the Plunderbund than from the Bolshevik. The
latter raise the Red Flag of danger, and when their presence is known the
people will give them short shrift. But your American Junker, with his lobby
and his corruption fund, is smooth and charming, and he always plies his
trade under the floating banner of Old Glory, stands at attention with model
pose when the National Air is played, and never fails to advertise his patriotism by a display of liberality with other people's money. Let us today swear
their
hands
to grasp the reins of power, to take
on the altar built by our fathers in this sacred temple that we will be freed
from the open terror of Bolshevists and the camouflage patriotism of the
junkers of our own country.
I have the faith that the stern courage of
American youths, shown from the Seine to the Marne and beyond, will free
America from the blight of both these and all enemies of real Americanism.
THE PEOPLE'S WILL

The practical science of government in a free country is to give adequate
expression in statute and enforcement to the ascertained will of the people. It
is the business of leaders of thought to educate and inform public opinion, of
reformers and publicists to agitate and instruct, and of teachers to give lessons
in the best ways of promoting the common good. But the duty of the legislator is first of all to devise the easiest
method by which the people may, with

for the correct ascertainment of the
popular will. We have tried various agencies for selecting candidates, from
committees and conventions to primaries, with varying success. It was not
until 1S32 the people may be said to have had an even second hand, say, in the
nomination of their public officers, when the first National Convention assembled to name a candidate for President. These early conventions offered the
first opportunity through their chosen delegates for the party membership to
give effect to its wishes and by reason of the deep interest and activity of
the voters, national conventions of all parties have almost always named men
who embodied the principles uppermost at the time of their selection. But
experience with conventions for the nomination of candidates in states and
lesser divisions showed that they were too often controlled by the most alert
political manipulators and that the use of money at times determined their
action. And so, one by one, every state in the Union, seeking the fairest and
most direct expression of the will of the individual voter, has adopted the
system known as the primary election. These laws, at first imperfect, have
been revised in those states that were the earliest to put them in operation, so
as to make illegal methods, manipulation, and the use of money punishable
by such heavy penalties as to reduce them to a minimum. North Carolina,
where the conventions were seldom controlled by money or wire-pulling, has
only recently adopted the primary system, and our law lacks those essential
safeguards which are found in the statutes of other states. There are objections to the primary as to all systems of registering the will of the people,
and no system can work well where the people are indifferent or neglectful
of their duties. But nobody has yet devised a plan which is comparable to
it in making it possible for every voter to express his choice.
;
STRENGTHEN AND SAFEGt'ARD THE PRIMARY LAW

I have no doubt that the proper committees of this General Assembly are
giving careful study to the defects of our primary law and will draft such
changes as will make it impossible for the managers of any political party in
county or State to select candidates except in an open primary, safeguarded
against fraudulent practices, and with adequate provision for speedy review
by the constituted courts of the Commonwealth. We should put the legalized
primary on all fours with the election law in this respect. In many instances, the primary is the real election, for where one party is dominant the

THE SHORT BALLOT

One of the reforms which your Governor recommended and which is being
debated is the adoption of the short ballot, by which a few officials are chosen
who are made responsible for good government and given the. authority for
choosing their associates. Is it not worthy of consideration that the Governor
of this great Commonwealth, chosen for a fixed term, should be given the
right to choose his own cabinet or council, and all State officers named by him
except the Lieutenant-Governor and the Auditor? Under our State Constitution our Governor is indeed, given a council, but they are not of his selection,
owe no duty to assist in carrying out the policies he formulates and we undertake the election of his cabinet who may or may not be in sympathy with
the plans to which he gives his all in thought and leadership.
;
THE GOVERNOR SHOULD HAVE A CABINET OF HIS OWN SELECTION

It would be impracticable for the voters of the United States to elect the ten
members of the President's cabinet, and if not impracticable, it would not
give that unity and harmony essential for the best public service if the President had no voice in naming the members of his official family. Does not the
same analogy hold with reference to the Governor's council? Why should
not the Governor of this Commonwealth, its chosen spokesman and leader, be
charged with the responsibility of appointing all the other State officers, who
will hold their positions as his appointees and who will be in sympathy and in
accord with him? No consideration should be paid to whether such tenure
would be pleasing to individuals who might or might not be selected as heads
of departments and ex-officio members of the council.
The only question is
whether this change would not secure more perfect team-work and therefore
better administration.
In the National Government the system in operation in North Carolina

would be wanting in executive efficiency. I believe the Governor of our
State ought to be entrusted with as great power for State administration as
the President enjoys in the Republic, and I verily believe such change in the
Constitution would guarantee us efficient executive officers and fix responsibility, which is more and more regarded as the essential requisite for the
highest service of a chief executive.

put this large .conception in operation. No sectional, local, or personal considerations will, I am sure, be permitted for a moment to weigh in your minds.
To be sure there will be readjustments and some changes, but these are easy
to be made if the end is as big as it appears, and the results will add to the
educational power of the State at home and abroad. It is fortunate that able
men are at the head of each of the institutions at West Raleigh, Greensboro,
Greenville, and Boone. They would all be helped by the team work and the
coordination and compact organization of all these educational forces.

NOT MILITARISM, BUT PROTECTION
The War Department has decided that the State Guard is automatically
disbanded upon the mustering out of the units of the State Guard now in the
National service. This makes it necessary for this General Assembly to lay
the foundations for a reestablishment of the State Guard. The reasons for
such a military organization, small but capable and mobile, are so apparent
as to need no argument. The nucleus of an efficient military organization
should be an extension of military instruction at the State College in West
Raleigh.
During the war all our institutions became camps of instruction
for fighting men. With the signing of the armistice they naturally and properly returned to their mission.
But there is need in North Carolina of one
strong Sta e institution which trains youths in the art of war, for while we
look for international peace it may be too much to hope we shall have no
need for force here to protect men and women from mobs and marauders and
rowdies who now and then menace peaceful communities. This instruction
should be imparted in the State College at West Raleigh. The discipline, and
self-government, and physical exercise alike speak for this instruction as an
important part in training the young men in that institution. It would attract those with military taste and military genius, who in their communities

EQUAL AND JUST TAXATION
Whether we discuss the educational expansion directed by the people by

100,000 majority at the last election, or the better care of dependents which
humanity requires, or the building of highways and the drainage of swamps,
or the other measures of improvement and progress now recognized as the
duty of government, the question of providing the necessary money is always
uppermost. It is important, but it is perfectly simple and easy, if we have
the resolution, to assess all property of every character at its true value iD
money. The intricacies of a taxing law arise out of inherited policies of
beating the tax collector by unfair valuations and unfair assessments. It has
been so long the habit in our State and other states for property to be undervalued that in North Carolina we injure our reputation by holding ourselves
out to the world as much poorer than we are in order to try to escape taxation.
As a matter of fact undervaluation helps no man whose property is
undervalued if low assessment is universal, for he pays a higher tax rate on
low valuations than he would pay if all property in every county and township were properly valued.
A BAD ADVERTISEMENT FOB THE STATE
The problem therefore is Shall we hold out to the world a higher tax rate
and an untrue statement of our wealth, or shall we be honest with ourselves
and attract investors by fair assessments and a low tax rate? Nothing except
the lack of good schools, and good water, and good sanitation, and good health
conditions, so militates against a State or community as a high tax rate. Today the high tax rate deters the building of factories in towns and cities. If

advertisement that would double and treble our mills and shops and enhance
our prosperity many fold. We now penalize every man who returns his property at its true value, and we compel the man with a moderate income to pay
his income tax, while his neighbor with ten times as large an income pays no
income tax whatever because of an exception clause in our Constitution. It
was placed there by another generation and ought not longer remain as a
hindrance to the just and scientific tax laws which the revenue committees of
the General Assembly are preparing. Ought we not to hasten the coming of
the day when all State revenues will be derived from incomes, and privileges,
made
to escape just assessments, the tax rate
and public service corporations, and licenses and the like, and all real and
personal property bear the burdens of local governments? Is it not necessary
as one of the steps to the perfection of the better system of taxation you are
preparing that publicity of assessments shall be secured?

sembly if a system should be enacted and enforced (and emphasis should be

laid on enforcement, for our greatest laches is to be found in the lack of enforcement rather than in the lack of legislation) which would bear equally
upon all men and all species of property? It is not to be expected that any
citizen will feel that he is justly treated if he pays tax on his income of $2,000
earned by steady work when he knows that his neighbor with an income of
$10,000, derived sometimes by inheritance and sometimes from other sources
without labor, pays not a cent of income tax. Can we expect cheerful obedience to assessment at the true value when one farm or city lot is taxed at
while the adjoining property of equal value is asits value?
Nothing so rankles as injustice
and discrimination. We may never hope for perfection, but, with the wise
laws I feel sure the General Assembly will soon enact, we may look to see the
tax rate reduced and the people satisfied because there will not be one rule for
one man or county with different rules for different counties and individuals.

difficulties to prevent this very simple legislation from making possible just

GOOD ROADS A TEST OF PROGRESS.
Recognition that government must expand its agencies to meet the needs of
a progressive civilization calls for increased revenue. But inoney wisely expended for the public good, without waste and extravagance, is more than
returned in the benefits it confers. Economy is a very different thing from
stinginess or backwardness. Just as every dollar invested in immortal mind
brings a dividend in knowledge and its by-products of larger production and
greater wealtrT, so money employed in building good roads is not an expenditure but an investment. The Federal Government, the State Governments,
and local governments have learned this truth and are acting upon it. Only
last week Congress made an appropriation of $200,000,000 for good roads,
and $4,000,000 of this fund will be available for the building of roads in
North Carolina if the General Assembly will make such provision that State
and local money shall match Federal appropriations. I cannot too strongly
express my belief that such action, coupled with the adoption of practical road
building and road maintaining laws, will be justified by the larger comfort
of rural life, increased value of farm lands, and better and quicker transportation of crops to market.
In America today good roads is the sure test of
progress.
A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
The big problems which confront the State cannot be solved without
changes in our Constitution. It was drafted in 1868, somewhat amended by
the limited Constitutional Convention of 1S75, and in every session of the
General Assembly the wisest men propose changes to meet new conditions.
For a long time our public schools were starved by two inconsistent constitutional provisions. Since 1900 the well matured judgment of the most thoughtful citizens has grown so that the Constitution that suited an agricultural and
poor State a half or a third of a century ago needs amendments to meet the
needs of a richer State rapidly expanding in manufacture, trade and agriculIn the last general election the people by large majorities ratified two

Since 1875, when a convention with defined and limited powers and
hampered by a narrow majority in a day when war politics halted its work, no
Constitutional Convention has been held. We have chosen to submit amendments when the need of change was manifest. We may well ask ourselves
whether it is wiser to submit the amendments you have under consideration

I confess, with some hesitation in expressing an opinion to gentlemen who
have given the matter more consideration and are more competent to judge
than I can claim but as I have followed your deliberations and reflected upon
the future development of the State, my mind has turned more and more to
the belief that the time has come for a Constitutional Convention in North
Carolina. Many wise men among us have for years held this opinion, though
most of us have held to the system of separate amendments from time to time.
Now that the war has come to an end, the people of the State are eager and
keen to adopt policies that will promote their common welfare, and the conception of government as a broader agency is recognized, is it not worthy of
serious consideration whether a new Constitution is not necessary to make
the organic law the expression of the larger life of the State?

Auditor's Report
State Treasury Department, Raleigh. N.
C.
Gentlemen
Complying with your request, wo have examined the books of
Hon. B. R. Lacy, State Treasurer, Raleigh, N. C, for the period from December 1, 1916-November 30, 1917, inclusive, and present herewith our reports,
:
consisting of exhibits as follows

"B," receipts and disbursements, general fund.

"C," receipts and disbursements, special funds.

"E," fund balances.
"G," memorandum pension account.

"I."
"J,"

bank balances, State institution funds.
Exhibit "K," trial balance, general ledger.

Exhibit "L," appropriation 1917.
We checked all receipts and disbursements of cash and bank items as shown
by the Cash Journal, verifying the receipts with records of the State Auditor,
and the disbursements with bank statements, canceled warrants, canceled
interest coupons and canceled bonds, proved all postings from original entries
also
to the general ledger and verified ledger balances at November, 1917
did other detail checking necessary to a thorough investigation of the books
for the period under review.
The total receipts of the State Treasurer compared with the records of the
State Auditor agree, except with a difference of twenty cents in the Educational Repaid Loans from Columbus County, and the partial payment taxes,
Exhibit "D," of which the State Auditor has no record until the final report
is received from the county sheriffs.
The State Treasurer enters amounts of
the partial payment taxes on auxiliary books, includes collections in regular
cash account, but does not place the same to the credit of the general fund
until certified to by the State Auditor.
The disbursements of the State Treasurer will not compare with the records
of the State Auditor for the same period, for the reason that the State Treasurer does not always receive and pay warrants at the same time and in the
same period of years as issued by the State Auditor, and the difference should
consist of warrants issued and unpaid, a reconcilement of which we did not
undertake as the time required for same would have been longer than your
commission cared to authorize.
The Ledger Controlling Account as presented in Exhibit "E" shows a credit
to special funds of $1,046,143.09, and the general fund account overdrawn
$34,757.21, while Exhibits "B" and "C" show different balances due to transfers from one account to another.

canceled bank vouchers, certificates of deposit, etc., proved all postings from
original entries to the companies and general ledger, also balances as of

SENATE JOUKNAL
1919]
677
We
checked the securities placed with the State Treasurer and compared
of the State Insurance Commissioner, which agreed as
to quantities and values described in the papers.
We note, however, that in
our opinion, some few of the securities were not properly indorsed to the
State Insurance Commissioner, and the attention of your Commission was
called to this while in Raleigh.
Aside from the law governing the handling of State funds, which we did
not investigate, we found the books well kept and properly balanced, with no
evidence of improper application of funds, and we present the exhibits and
schedules referred to above as being correct, according to our verification
same with the books
of the books.

Gentlemen
Complying
with your request, we have examined the books
WrP. Wood,
of Hon.
December
1,
State Auditor, Raleigh, N. C, for the period from

1917, to and including November 30, 1918, and present herewith
our report, consisting of exhibits as follows

Exhibit "A," record of receipts and disbursements, Educational Fund.
Exhibit "B," record of receipts and disbursements, General Fund.
We checked and proved footings of all items entered as receipts and disbursements, comparing the receipts with records of the State Treasurer, and
the disbursements with warrant records and the applications for issuing same.
The books and records appeared as having been well kept, and aside from
the laws governing the warrants issued, which we did not investigate, we
present the exhibits referred to above as being correct according to the records
reviewed.
By
C. L.
Smith, President.

Gentlemen
Complying
with your request, we have examined the books

State Treasurer, Raleigh, N. C, for the period from
December 1. 1917, to and including November 30, 1918, and present herewith
our report, consisting of exhibits as follows:

"A," receipts and disbursements, Board of Education.

"C," receipts and disbursements.
"D." partial payment taxes 1917 and 191S.

"E," fund balances.
"F," receipts and disbursements. State institutions.

"H," State investment in railroad and turnpike companies.
"G,"
"L," bank balances, State funds.

"J," bank balances, State institution funds.
"K," trial balance, General Ledger.
by the cash journals, verifying the receipts with records of the State Auditor,
and the disbursements with canceled warrants, canceled interest coupons,
canceled bonds and bank statements proved all postings from original entries
to the General Ledger and verified ledger balances at November 30, 1918. also
did other detail checking necessary to a thorough investigation of the books
for the period under review.
The total receipts of the State Treasurer compared with the records of the
State Auditor agree, with the exception of partial payment taxes, Exhibit "D,"
which the State Auditor has no record of until the final reports are received
from the county sheriffs. The State Treasurer enters amounts of partial payment taxes on auxiliary books, including collections in regular cash account,
but does not place same to the credit of General and Special Funds until
certified by the State Auditor.
The disbursements of the State Treasurer will not compare with the records
of the State Auditor for the same period, for the reason that the State
Treasurer does not always receive and pay warrants at the same time and
in the same period of years as issued by the State Auditor, and the difference
should consist of warrants issued and unpaid, a reconcilement of which we
did not undertake as the time required for same would have been longer than
your committee cared to authorize.
Aside from the laws governing the handling of State funds, which we did
not investigate, we found the books well kept and balanced, with no evidence
of improper application of funds, and we present the exhibits referred to above
as being correct according to our verification of the books.

From the University of North Carolina,

Chapel Hill, February
1,
1919.
Mr. R. O. Self,
Principal Clerk of the Senate, Raleigh, North Carolina.
Dear Mr. Self
Your letter addressed to the Acting Dean of the University

concerning section 4409 of the Revisal of 1905 has been referred to this office.
Enclosed you will find a list of the employees of the University with the
annual or monthly salary of each.
As you know, the administration force of the University has been greatly
disorganized through the ravages of the influenza. But for this, the list would
have been filed by the acting head officer at the proper time.
Trusting the delay has not inconvenienced you, I am, with best wishes.
:
Very truly yours,

Chas. T. Woollen,
Business Manager.

Gentlemen
In compliance with resolution of February
Commission
which have

Assem-
North Carolina:
1,
asking that the State Highway
furnish a report giving a full and complete statement of
all
funds
come into its hands, or any persoa for it, showing in detail the
which it came, by the counties, and disbursements of the same
and kind of road work done in- each county and the cost of such
beg to herewith submit the following
The work of the State Highway Commission, as authorized under the State
Highway Law, creating the State Highway Commission is for the purpose of
assisting the counties in developing the State
and county system of highways,

it in regard to bridges and
giving advisory services to the counties requesting
making of surveys, plans and specifications for same, together with

various other duties in regard to the establishment of a proper system of State
roads, the
highways, as outlined in the law. The work of the State Highway Commission under this act is of such nature as to make it impracticable to apportion
the cost of this work among the various counties of the State. A summary
of the receipts ând expenditures of the State Highway Commission is herewith submitted.
On the enactment of the Federal Aid Law and legislation passed by the
General Assembly of 1917. it became the duty of the State Highway Commission to supervise the applications of the Federal Aid Law in the State of North
Carolina, doing the engineering and supervisory work required by this law.
The State Highway Commission has therefore been acting as the agent of the
Federal Government in administering this act, doing the engineering and supervisory engineering for the Federal Government and the counties, for the purpose of affording the counties the benefits of the Federal Aid Fund.
Under this act the State Highway Commission has not had charge of the
construction or
management
of
any of the work heretofore done, or now being
done, in part by the use of the Federal funds, with the exception of the work
of constructing the seven and three-fourths (7 3/4) miles of the Hickory Nut
Gap road in Buncombe County, as authorized by the General Assembly of 1917.

All the work done, with this exception, in the State under the Federal Aid Act,
has either been done by contract let by counties or by county forces, controlled
and managed by the counties, in so far as the construction of the Federal Aid
projects were concerned.
SENATE JOURNAL
1919]
781
The Highway Commission is very much gratified over the results of the
superintendence and management of the single piece of work that has been
entirely in charge of the State Highway Commission in Henderson County on
the Hickory Nut Gap project. This work was undertaken by reason of the
destruction of this road by the flood of 1916, and a statement of the cost, as
taken from the records prepared for and approved by the Federal Government,
is
as follows

Cost of completed grading
$12,078.72
By the said estimate it will be noted that the total excavation and borrow,
as actually measured, is 47,377 cubic yards and $12,078.72 (25% cents) actual
cost per cubic yard of grading, unclassified.
Note. In 1912-13 contract was let by the Norfolk Southern Railroad for
grading its main line between Raleigh and Colon, to Lane Brothers Company
at 32 cents per cubic yard, unclassified, and for its line between Mt. Gilead
and Charlotte, to Kennifect Hoffman Company, at 42 cents, unclassified. These

figures give a very fair idea of what in normal times contractors will charge
for grading. Comparing these with the cost of 25% cents for the Hickory Nut
Gap Road, and remembering that this work was done in heavy mountainous
country and under war time conditions, some idea may be obtained of the
value of the State Highway Commission's management when in complete
charge of the work.
The Bureau of Public Roads reports during the year in the United States,
five (5) projects were completed and final payment of Federal Aid was made
on same. Of these the State of North Carolina had one. This project was
in Halifax County and was contracted by the county highway commission
for Roanoke Rapids Township, at a cost of $2,472.76 per mile, with earth
excavation of 40 cents per cubic yard, and rock excavation at $1 per cubic yard.
SENATE JOURNAL
782
[Session
was completed during the

payment had not been made, and so it is not included as one of
the five projects completed under the Federal Aid Act of the United States.
I cite these facts in connection with the statement of the Hickory Nut Gap
road above, to show that our State has the distinction of finishing one of the
first five projects under the Federal Aid Act, and also to show the efficiency
of the work of the Highway Commission on the Hickory Nut Gap project
where the unclassified excavation was done at a cost of 25 1 4 cents per cubic
yard under the management of the State Highway Commission in comparison
The
Sloan's Ferry Bridge is another project that
year, but final
with the cost of excavating under contracts let by the counties of the State.
At the time the Hickory Nut Gap work was started many contracts throughout
the country were let for unclassified work at the price of fifty and seventy-five
cents per cubic yard.
It is felt that it is
advisable also in this connection to state that in the
entire United States, according to the report of the Secretary of Agriculture,
the total
sum paid
of the Federal Aid
Fund was $425,445.85, of which the

The State now has under agree-
State of North Carolina received $44,S7S.76.
ment with the Federal Government twenty (20) contracts finally signed with
the Government involving $250,000 of Federal Aid and 144 miles of road, at
an estimated total cost of $815,879.91, as shown in the accompanying Federal
Aid project chart to December 31, 1918.
Detail statement of the Federal Aid work undertaken in the State is given
hereafter.
The maintenance of the State system of highways, as provided by the

Highway Law, was placed in charge of the State Highway Commission,
State
in so
far as the fund available from the automobile license tax fund would permit,
by the General Assembly of 1917, for the purpose of maintaining the State
system of roads and affording a method by which the State could benefit by
the Federal Aid Fund, enabling the State to make the guarantee to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture for the maintenance of the roads in the State, as required
by the Federal Aid Law, section 7 of said law.
detailed statement of these expenditures is herewith submitted, showing
the amounts expended in each county for maintenance work. A summary is

also given showing the expenditures of the 17% per cent fund, provided by
this act, which is the amount remaining for the use of the State Highway
Commission for maintenance after deducting the 12% per cent fund allowed
to the Secretary of State for the collection of the automobile tax.

It will be
noted that in many cases a balance was in the hands of the State Highway
Commission at the end of the automobile tax year June 30, 191S. War conditions during 1918 were such that it was almost impossible to secure labor for
the maintenance of the roads, and such labor as could be secured was inefficient or to be had at such an exorbitant cost that the State Highway Commission deemed it inadvisable to push the maintenance work, because of the
high cost of this work at this time, and deemed that it would be more economical to conserve the fund, as far as possible, until such time as better economy
could be secured by its expenditure: For this reason they asked the opinion
of the Attorney-General in regard to this, and was advised by him that the
State Highway Commission would be acting entirely within the meaning of
the law to retain such fund as it could not expend in an economic and efficient
manner, to be expended later when labor conditions became more satisfactory.
SENATE JOURNAL

Work done by the State highway Commission in the maintenance of roads

during this period has resulted in a decided improvement of the roads of the
State as a whole, although not as satisfactory as was desired, nor anything
like as satisfactory as it will become as labor conditions and cost of work
become more normal.
I am attaching hereto a report also of the work in connection with the rural
engineering feature of the Commission's work.

Federal Aid Survey Fund

According to requirement of the Federal Government, the State has to make
survey, prepare plans and specifications for all Federal Aid projects.

is
as follows
"Reg.
6.
No part
making
of the expense of
The
surveys,
plans, specifications or estimate by or on behalf of the State prior to the

beginning of construction work, shall be included in the estimate or paid by
the Federal Government."
Inasmuch as there was no fund available for the State Highway Commission
from which the cost of these surveys could be paid, the Highway Commission,
in ord ;r to prevent the loss of this fund to the State, has required the counties
to deposit with the Commission ten per cent of the amount of the Federal
allotment to the county in order to pay this expense. This fund frequently does
not amount to three per cent of the work proposed, and never more than five
per cent of the cost of the work.

Rural Engineering
The Legislature of 1917, by act, appropriated $5,000 annually to be expended
as directed by the State Highway Commission for Rural Engineering, as set
forth in the act. Owing to their inability to secure engineers and the scarcity
of labor in rural communities, both facts of which are due to the recent war,
the State Highway Commission has found it impractical to carry on this work
as intended, but the expenditures have been largely for equipment, which is
now on hand ready to carry on the work according to the intention of the act,
as soon as conditions which have hampered this work become normal and
enable the rural citizens to turn their attention to the betterments specified
in the act.

Governor of North Carolina.

Sib
Section 468S of the Revisal of 1905 of North Carolina reads as follows
Commissioner from time to time to

report co the General Assembly any change which in his opinion should be
made in the laws relating to insurance and other subjects appertaining to his
Department. And he shall, on or before the first day of February of each
year in which the General Assembly is in session make to the Governor the
recommendations called for in this section, to be transmitted to the General
Assembly, with the last annual report of this Department, including receipts
"
and disbursements
In obedience to this law, I take pleasure in submitting to you for your consideration, and to be transmitted to the General Assembly, the following statement and suggestions
"It shall be the duty of the Insurance
STATEMENT
The general work of the Insurance Department is known, and makes unnecessary a full statement in detail but the Commissioner feels that several
matters should be clearly stated.
;
SENATE JOURNAL
1919]
799
Prior to 1899 the supervision of the insurance companies in this State
was
under the Secretary of State. On coming in control of the Legislature in 1899,

the Democrats enacted a new code of laws governing insurance companies, and
also organized a separate Insurance Department, placing a Commissioner in
charge, not only of the supervision of companies and their agents operating
in the State, but of the collection of all licenses and taxes from them.
The Department has now suitable offices, but the pay of the clerks is inadequate, and the Commissioner is embarrassed frequently by changes, as clerks
seek other places where they can obtain better salaries. This necessitates a
continual work of training new men, and is a hardship, especially where the
work of the Department is of a technical character and calls for an expert.
The total cost of the Department to the State, including not only the salaries
of the employees, but that of the Commissioner, as well as printing arid other
expenses was $32,842.28, while the collections paid into the State Treasury
amount to $799,688.30 for the past two years.

The work of the Department is naturally divided into the collection of
revenues from the companies and associations under its charge, and their
supervision. The collection from insurance companies, as well as building
and loan associations, necessitates the keeping in the Depai'tment not only
accounts of each special fund, but of 500 individual accounts with companies
and associations under
its
supervision.
REVENUE
There
is
a gradual increase of about $30,000 per
annum
in
the revenue
from insurance companies. Prior to the formation of the Department, the largest amount collected from this source in one year was $84,879.38.
During the fiscal year ending April 1, 1918, the Commissioner paid to the
State Treasurer $415,468.16, which made the total amount paid into the
Treasury to the beginning of the present fiscal year since the formation of
the Department $4,674,573.08. The collections for the present fiscal year from
April 1, 1918. to April 1, 1919, judging from the increase up to January 1,
1919, will amount to more than $450,000.
collected
SUPERVISION
The
and fees from insurance companies

an important matter, and adds very materially to the State's
but by far the most important work of the Department, and that of
collection of the licenses, taxes,
referred to
revenue
is
is its supervision of insurance

companies, associations, and societies, as well as their representatives operating in the State. The great improvement in the practices of the companies
and their agents shows the work accomplished in this respect. The supervision takes in
1. The admission and regulation of all companies doing or proposing to do
any kind of insurance in the State. There are about four hundred companies,

thought to be responsible for them. There have been many of those investigaand prosecutions which have been very beneficial in their results. A
number of convictions are obtained each year, and the deterrent effect is
specially good.
During 1917 there were fifteen (15) convictions, and in 1918
there were fourteen (14). This is a fine record when it is remembered that
it is more difficult to convict for burning than perhaps for any other crime.
There can be no question but that these convictions obtained, as well as the
vigorous prosecutions conducted even where no conviction followed, have had
a good effect and are materially reducing fires in the State.

This involves not only havby men sent from the Department,
up and the laws enforced by the
officers of the different cities and towns.
The State Building Code and its
enforcement in the different cities and towns in the State is not only greatly
improving the fire conditions and liability to conflagrations in our cities and
towns, but is having a fine effect in the education of our people as to the
advantage of better and safer buildings and the protection they afford against
the destruction by fire of property throughout the State. It is provided that
the license fees collected from fire insurance companies should be used for
this purpose.
This gives a sufficient sum and the Commissioner has started
out upon different lines of fire prevention and laid a broader foundation for
a great and effective work in the State. There is some complaint because of
lack of funds for the enforcement of the law passed by the Legislature in
regard to forest fires. It might be well for this General Assembly to consider
the advisability of restoring this work to the Fire Marshal Department of the
Insurance Department as it was prior to the enactment of this law.
4. Exits and fire-escapes.Under chapter 637, Public Laws 1909, the Insurance Commissioner is given supervision over and charged with the enforcement of the law in regard to sufficient exits and proper fire-escapes for
buildings in the State where people congregate. This is a most important
law and one that has called for considerable thought and work from the
Insurance Commissioner and his deputies over 1,500 fire-escapes having been

5. Publication of statements.
The Commissioner is required to make an
abstract of the financial statements filed with him by the different companies
operating in the State to collect the fees for the publication of the same and
have them published in the newspapers of the State.
6. Firemen's Relief Fund.
The Commissioner is also required to collect
from insurance companies operating in the State the taxes for the benefit of
our firemen and to distribute these taxes among the firemen of ninety-odd
towns of the State, or all the cities and towns complying with the law. This
fund amounts to over $12,000. Under the law a tax of one-half ( % ) of 1 per

approve all insurance contracts issued in the State, and every company,
association, or society is required to submit to the Insui*ance Commissioner
for his approval all applications for, as well as contracts of, insurance, with
clauses modifying the same, before it is lawful to offer them in the State.
While this involves a considerable amount of work, largely technical, it is a
very valuable law and certainly helpful in regard to the character of the con-
tracts of insurance issued in the State.

their rates.

only the protection of the property of the State, but of the lives of the inmates

Sufficient attention has not been paid in this State to the character of State
buildings erected, as to the protection of the buildings from fires and the safety
of their inmates in case of fire and its attendant panics.
11. Building and loan associations.
The Commissioner is now charged with
the supervision of building and loan associations, and the great work being
done by these associations, the organization of new associations almost continually, as well as the suggestion that these associations, as Land and Loan
Associations, can be adapted to and be made of great benefit to the farmers
of the State as well as to those living in cities and towns who have received
their benefits, makes this a most important part of the work of the Department.
12. Investment and promotion companies.
The looking after these companies calls for prompt and intelligent work, that our citizens may not be
imposed upon or defrauded, for such companies and their representatives are
usually very active. The small fund allowed for use by the Insurance Commissioner for seeking out and prosecuting violations of the insurance laws is
used up in that work. A special allowance should be available for violations
by investment and promotion companies. Vigorous prosecutions against these
would save thousands of dollars each year to our people.

Until recently the Department did not have

on the third floor of the State Departments Building.
In order that the Department may not be subjected to frequent changes in
its force, and to provide adequate support, it is important that the salaries of
the employees, especially those requiring technical knowledge and experience,
should be increased and that provision should be made for the employment of
regular examiners for building and loan associations and for insurance com-
panies and loan associations once a year, and our law requires
amination and audit once in three years. It will take the full
competent man for each class, to say nothing of the examination

2. Standard fire policy.
Among the many important changes made in the
law affecting the fire insurance business in the State by the last General
Assembly was the adoption of what is known as the "North Carolina Standard
Fire Policy." The valuable laws enacted upon the recommendation of the
Fire Investigating Committee make unnecessary the placing of much fire
insurance legislation upon our books by this General Assembly, but it is
necessary to make some minor changes in the Standard Fire Policy, as the
policy, with these changes, will be presented to and no doubt adopted by the
legislatures of a number of States at their present sessions. The policy is a
decided improvement on the old form of standard fire policy, and it is very
desirable to have uniformity in all insurance contracts.
3. Change in charters and capital stock.
Under the present insurance law
in this State no change in a charter of a domestic insurance company or in
the amount of the capital stock can be made without the approval of the
Insurance Commissioner. The Commissioner recommends that this law be
amended to apply not only to domestic companies, but also to foreign insur.
ance companies doing business in the State, with a proviso that this requirein case of an insurance company where the laws of its
domicil give like authority to a supervising insurance official. The necessity
of this law is apparent, but has been emphasized by the action of the Union
Central Life Insurance Company of Ohio, doing business in this State. This
com pan j for years operated with only $100,000 capital, and eight or ten years
ago increased their capital stock to $500,000 by a stock dividend of $400,000.
The Convention of Insurance Commissioners took up this matter with the
company and protested against the action as unfair and unjust to its policyholders, in view of the fact that through its literature and agents, as well
as officers of the company, it had held out to the insuring public that it was
practically a mutual company, and that the profits of the company would go
to its policy-holders.

vested in the Superintendent of Insurance of that State, that would prevent

officers of the company not only uphold this action, but so far have failed
and refused to give any assurance that additional increase of capital stock
by the use of surplus will not be made. It does not help the matter for the
company to say that the surplus used was obtained from its nonparticipating
business.
It certainly has not shown this to the satisfaction of a committee
of the Insurance Commissioners, and even if they had, it is a question whether
the company would not be acting in better faith with its policy-holders to
withdraw this surplus in a cash dividend, if they are entitled to it, and not
place it in capital stock, where it will continue to be a liability and charge

Workmen's Compensation Law. Our laws are very deficient as to employers' liability and kindred matters.

attention of the last two General Assemblies to the fact that it would be well
to have these laws added to and improved and a workmen's compensation act

end will prove best for the citizens of our State. The Commissioner believes
that this General Assembly should enact such a law as will be up-to-date, will
contain the principles of these acts, and can be administered by the State at
the smallest cost. The employers and employees of the State should, and
your Commissioner believes do, favor the principles involved in the laws, the
only question being as to the details or special provisions of the law. The
matter should be taken up, discussed, and passed upon, not as a law in the
interest of employers or in the interest of employees as against the other, but
as a law that will prove in the end best for all the employers as well as the
employees who come under its provisions. The principles of the workmen's
compensation acts are right and the State cannot afford not to be progressive
enough in its legislation to have these, and in fact all laws for the good not
only of the State but of its different classes of citizens. There should also
be enacted the uniform bill recently approved and recommended by the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners for computing the reserve on

only a reinsurance business, and special provisions should be made as to their
license and the fees required of them.
8. Steam-boiler inspection.
It is very important that there should be laws
requiring and governing the inspection of steam boilers in the State. It is
most important for the protection of life and property, and such laws are
found in most of the States.
9. Capital and surplus.An increase should be made in the minimum capital
for marine insurance companies, as $25,000 is entirely too little. Your Commissioner believes that new companies in addition to the amount of capital

10. Medical examinations.
That the maximum life policy not requiring a
medical examination be raised to $300, and the provisions extended to group
insurance contracts, on which there is no occasion for medical examinations.
STATE INSTITUTIONS
11. Insurance on State property.

Under the law it is made the duty of the
Insurance Commissioner to inspect each State institution as to its safety from
fire and the protection of its inmates, and to place upon the State property
insurance which is provided for under the law. An annual appropriation of
$10,000 is made to cover the fire insurance upon the State property. At the
time this amount was first agreed upon it was sufficient to carry practically
50 per cent of the value of the property but now, because of the great inci-ease
in the insurable value of the State property (being practically $7,000,000), the
appropriation does not enable the Commissioner to carry more than 30 per cent
of the value.
This, in the opinion of the Commissioner, is not sufficient, and
the appropriation should be increased $5,000 or $10,000. This opinion is
shared by the boards having State property in charge, some of whom have
taken out as much as $150,000 of insurance, paying for the same out of their
;
appropriation.
The records show that the State had
collected for fire losses more than it

insurance premiums, besides receiving an annual protection
of $2,250,000 against the fire hazard.
The Commissioner feels that he cannot
emphasize too strongly the protection of State property by better buildings
and insurance. The. State property, records, etc., as well as the inmates of our
institutions, should be safeguarded as fully as possible.
The character of new
buildings required under the work of the State Building are certainly steps

12. State Capitol.

Your Commissioner would again strongly recommend
that some steps be taken for the better protection of the State Capitol from
destruction by fire. This is a magnificent building, but is far from fire-proof,

and an inspection of the building, especially under the roof, would disclose to
any committee or member of your body the urgent necessity and importance of
this recommendation.
Agricultural Building. In the opinion of your Commissioner, the new

part of the Agricultural Building can, by the use of automatic sprinklers, be
made as safe from fire as its contents would admit but the main or old part
of the building, formerly known as the National Hotel, can never be made
safe from fire. This part of the building should be taken down and the

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS

14.
The
Commissioner recommends that a
provision for the annual licensing of building and loan associations should be
more
clearly expressed than in our present statute, and that a nominal fee
should be charged for the same; also, that this fee should be used for the
expenses of the examination and checking up of building and loan associations in the State, and that an additional deputy or clerk should be allowed
to the Commissioner for this purpose. The proper supervision of these associations calls for additional legislation. Their increased business in this State
and their great value in the upbuilding of our State and the teaching of our
people thrift, make it most important that they should be encouraged and
their conduct properly safeguarded.
CONCLUSION
In making the above recommendations the Commissioner has undertaken to
discharge the duty imposed upon him by law, and trusts they will commend
themselves to your honorable body. They have been made with a sincere
desire to place clearly before you the situation in insurance matters in our
State, though they are of course not expected to cover all insurance matters of
interest.
Of course, the Commissioner will cheerfully defer to your superior wisdom

and he will take pleasure in furnishing you or your committees, or any individual member of your body, any further details or information in his possession, or obtainable, and give you the benefit of any knowledge
in these matters,
of a technical character, or gained by experience, that he
may
possess, to aid

the Treasury were not actual receipts, liability was reduced this much, leaving
the sum unencumbered in the Treasury. The return to the Treasury was
upon advice of the Attorney-General, ruling that "Annual appropriations and
annual expenditures authorized by law but not expended, or any balances left
at the end of the year unencumbered, should properly revert to the Treasury."
The increased income for 1918 over 1917 with reverted balances enabled me to
pay the deficit balance at the end of 1917, meet 1918 obligations, and reduce
the $300,000 note to $150,000. This sum is held with the balance to pay the
$300,000 regular public and high school appropriations now due, for I am of
the opinion that these school appropriations should not be delayed in payment,
owing to conditions brought about by the influenza epidemic.

The estimated income shown in statement of income and disbursements is

tax estimated at increase of $400,000, and $800,000 inheritance tax increase.
The increase from reassessment of property will apply only one year as tax is
received in the year after assessment is made. No greater increase may be
expected under present laws.

provided by existing laws.

This year, 1918, I advertised as much or more than I
did in 1917, but on account of the drive for Liberty Loan Bonds of the United
States, which were offered at 4% per cent while those of the State of North
Carolina was at 4 per cent, I could sell only $121,000, and, therefore, have on
hand now $379,000. The colleges and other institutions have begun building
and need this money very much, but while the State bonds have remained
very near par, it is impossible to sell them now and something will have to be
done by the Legislature for relief of these institutions.
I again want to recommend that the money returned to the State Treasurer
in 1915 by Dr. Kemp Battle that was paid him by act of the General Assembly
of 1015 be covered into the Treasury.
In regard to the force of the Treasurer's office, I desire to say that too
much credit cannot be given to Major Moody, chief clerk H. R. Williamson,
acting teller and Mrs. W. D. Martin, stenographer, for their loyal, constant
and efficient work for the last six months. Two clerks were drafted, one quit
to accept a better paying position in Washington, and one was paralyzed.
One
of the greatest handicaps is the insufficiency of the salaries.
The work is
intricate and requires training and ability.
Hundreds will apply for this
kind of a job, but when they try to do the work they are failures. I therefore
recommend that the chief clerk's pay be put at what the Treasurer's is now,
$3,500, anil all the others raised also, and the salary of my successor be put at

Your attention is respectfully called to the importance of having the mateand workmanship on the same inspected by competent building and
mechanical inspectors as the work progresses. This is particularly applicable
to the large amount of mechanical equipment now required by the State's
institutions.
The heads of these institutions, the stewards, and operating
officers are constantly engaged with their regular duties.

W. Bickett, Governor:
have the honor, as directed by section 7, chapter 197, Public Laws

of 1917, to hand to you herewith a report for the General Assembly of 1919
of the "Findings and Recommendations" of the State Educational Commission,
together with a statement of the expenses of said Commission.
On March 6, 1918, the members of the Commission, upon summons of the
Sir
Governor, met in the Senate Chamber of the Capitol to organize. After perfecting the organization, they proceeded at once with the work to be done.
In accordance with section 4 of the act creating the Commission, I was
instructed by the Commission to request the General Education Board to give
expert assistance in making the survey of educational conditions in our State

and
to request it to

man into the*sState as soon as the schools can resume normal operation. Your
Commission wishes to have sufficient time to make this survey under normal
conditions, and sufficient time and funds to allow it to make a thorough study
of the "Findings" so it can make recommendations that will be helpful to our
public schools. It will take two years to do this work with the degree of
thoroughness that the importance of the task demands.

At the meeting of the Commission July 20, Mr. C. C. Wright was authorized

convince any one that it is very necessary to have this part of the work completed with care. It is the opinion of your Commission that these laws should
be codified and printed in separate volumes. The mass of Public, Public Local,
and Private School Laws now in force in our State should be thoroughly
studied and unified. There is much more work needed to be done by the
Commission in this direction.
Your Commission employed Mr. W. F. Marshall of Raleigh to make a study
and report to the Commission on the "Present methods and costs of public
printing in North Carolina." On December 17, Mr. Marshall made a preliminary report to the Commission. This was studied carefully and Mr. Marshall
was requested to continue and extend his investigation and formulate the
same for the Commission's report. This he has done and his report in its
final form constitutes the Commission's report, and will be found under the
caption "Present method and cost of public printing in North Carolina."
The Commission instructed me to gather data on the methods and costs of
supplying text-books to this and other States, and to get information from the
several states on the matter of public school teachers' pensions. The data at
hand on the question of text-books is not sufficient to make a final report.
The findings are set forth as a part of the Commission's report under the
caption. "Methods of supplying text-books to the public schools." The same
is true with reference to public school teachers' pensions.
The findings will
be found in this report under the caption. "Teachers' pensions."
The work to be done by the Commission was more than could be done in
ten months, and will cost more than the funds at the disposal of your Commission.
It is the desire of your Commission that this work be continued and
that it be given until the General Assembly of 1921 to make its final report.
It will take an appropriation of at least five thousand dollars ($5,000) from
the General Assembly of 1919 to defray the necessary expenses of the Comcertain laws
to determine

mission in completing this work. The investigation has gone far enough for
us to realize that the held of activities of the Commission should be extended
to include a thorough study of existing agencies for the preparation and
training of teachers in this and other States.
It is our opinion that if sufficient funds and time are allowed the Commission to complete this work, its "Findings and Recommendations" should be
almost invaluable to our State. The time for this work is within the next two
years -before the schools are finally adjusted to the new conditions that must
arise
from the recent World War.

Gentlemen of the State Educational Commission

Pursuant to notice from your chairman under date of September 11, 1918,
I had been designated by you to procure certain data relating to the
present method and cost of public printing in this State, I have* the honor to
make the report which follows
The State of North Carolina has no printing plant the printing required in
the conduct of its government must therefore be done by private concerns.
This work is designated by law as the public printing, and the person or firm
doing the work is likewise designated as the public printer. The main provisions of law under which the public printing is to be done are conveniently
brought together, under the caption of Public Printing, in chapter 119 of the
new Code now in process of publication.

just here to note that, including the cost of paper purchased, the total public
printing account for the year ending November 30, 1918, was $113,761.26,

Contracting for and Superintending the Public Printing
The
public printing
is
executed on a contract
made under
statutory provi-
sions and, as intimated by the language of the statute already quoted,
it
is
done under the direction of the State Printing Commission. Until the year
1917, bids for executing the public printing were submitted and accepted with
regard to certain maximum prices fixed by statute. With only rare exceptions
these maximum prices were paid to the contractors, the most notable recent
exceptions being 18 cents instead of 80 cents per thousand impressions for
job printing during the four-year period ending in 1917. But the General
Assembly of 1917 repealed the provisions of law fixing maximum prices to be
paid for the public printing, and enacted the provision now in force. The
amended statute (Laws of 1917. chapter 126, section 1) is as follows:

"The Governor and the Council of State, Commissioner of Labor and Printing, and the Attorney-General shall contract for having all the printing and
binding done for the State upon the best possible terms for the State and the
Commissioner of Labor and Printing shall superintend the same. In any
contract which they may make they may fix and determine the times for the
delivery of the public and private laws, and the journals and documents of the
General Assembly, or any part thereof, according to their judgment and discretion.
The person with whom such contract is made is designated as the
;
Public Printer."
The awarding of the contract for the public printing on the best possible
terms for the State is thus committed to the judgment and discretion of the
Printing Commission. The execution of the work is placed under the super-
Senate

SENATE JOURNAL

[Session
intendenee of the Commissioner of Labor and Printing, and other statutes

require of the public printer a bond of five thousand dollars for the faithful
performance of his duties under the contract.
A single exception in contracting for public printing is made in a special
provision (Laws of 1905, chapter 400), by which the Supreme Court is authorized to contract for the printing of its reports, to supervise the work, and to
select the printer at a price not to exceed that in the State's current contract
with the public printer.

It is proper to observe also that the public printer does not furnish the
paper used by him in doing the State's work. The Commissioner of Labor and
Printing is directed by law to purchase for the State all paper and stationery
used in the public printing. These items are supplied from the State's storerooms to the public printer from time to time as required for the execution
of the State's work.
Annual Cost
To
of Public Printing
get a clearer understanding of the present cost of the public printing,
it
a review of the changes in the total cost and in the

unit cost for the last few years. While there have been fluctuations from
year to year in the total cost of the work done, it is noteworthy but not surprising that every important change in the unit cost has been in the direction
of an increase in the basic rate paid by the State.
The State's total annual outlay for paper and the public printing for the
last eleven years, and the fluctuations from year to year for ten years, are
shown in the subjoined table and in the accompanying Chart I under table
marked Exhibit "A." The fluctuations from month to month, not including
paper, for a single two-year period are likewise shown by table and by Chart IT

Present Contract Prices
Under the statute previously quoted, the State Printing Commission

awarded the contract for the public printing and binding for two years from
August 23, 1917, to the firms of Edwards & Broughton Printing Company and
the Commercial Printing Company, in the proportion of four-fifths to the
former and one-fifth to the latter. As is permitted by the provision already
mentioned, the printing of the Supreme Court reports, under the supervision
of the court, was awarded to the Mitchell Printing Company. All of these
houses are located in the city of Raleigh.
The schedule of prices covering the various classes of work under this
contract is herewith filed for reference as Exhibit "B" but for the practical
purposes of this report, the digest and comparison of the main items of cost
appearing in the following table will probably be found sufficient as well as

Application of Contract Rates to Text-books

two Of the simpler
specimens of book typography are selected from the list of adopted books,
namely Peele's Civil Government and Robbins and Row's Essential Studies
English, Book Two. Such books as arithmetics or algebras, with their

Methods of Supplying Text-books to the Public Schools

In the United States there are three methods of supplying text-books to the
public schools.
The State prints the text-books and

them at cost; or,
(b) Furnishes them free.
There are only two States with printing plants where the elementary textbooks are printed
Kansas and California. Kansas sells the books at cost
and California furnishes them free.
Five States, California, Kansas, Maine, Nevada, and Oregon own State
printing plants. Only two of these, as indicated above, print elementary textMethod

number of years.
Under this plan there are two methods of distributing text-books
(a) The publishers have depositories in the State and the books are

agreed upon in the contract with the State.

(b) The State purchases the books direct from the publishers and furnishes
the books free of charge to the children.
Method 3. The selection of text-books is a matter of the local school unit,
county or township. The State has nothing to say about what book shall be
used in county or township.
Under this plan there are two methods in use
(a) The local board selects the text-books to be used and the children purchase the books in the open market. The local board may enter into an agreement with the publishers as to the price to be paid in county or township.
(b) The local board selects the books, purchases the same from the pubto the children at the price
and distributes them free to the children.

States, California and Kansas, use Method 1, and forty-six States use
either Method 2 or Method 3.
No doubt there are slight variations from the
outline given above under Method 2 and Method 3 in different States, but the
outline gives a fairly accurate idea of the methods now in use.
lishers
Two
It is reasonable to suppose that a State, entering into a contract with a

publisher to supply either the children of the entire State or the State direct
with a large number of books for a number of years, could get these books
cheaper than a local board could, and this is true for when a book is put on
a State adopted list it sells at a lower figure than before State adoption. So
we conclude that the cost of Method 2 is less than the cost of Method 3.
There is absolutely no way from available data to make an accurate comparison of the cost of Method 1 and Method 3. California prices are somewhat lower, but the overhead expenses are not taken into account, i.e., the

Teachers' Pensions
The question of teachers' pensions is one that every enlightened nation has
attempted to answer in one form or another. The principle that a state or
nation should provide maintenance for those who become disabled in the

In European countries the systems are much older than in the United States,
because there teaching as a life career developed much earlier. The first
system for city schools in America was adopted by Chicago in 1893, and the

pensions for teachers were founded before 1900. Twenty-three in the next
decade, and thirty-six since the beginning of 1910. There are now sixty-seven
different systems in thirty-four States.

in
which only the public or the teachers
contribute to the pension fund.
"Wherever the cost

and wherever the cost is borne by the public alone, the pensions are really
considered as part of the teachers' compensation and the majority who withdraw or die before retirement receive no return for their reduced pay. On
the other hand, when the cost is borne by the teachers and the public together,
the teacher receives an appropriate compensation and contractual security,
and the teacher and the public cooperate in an economic, social and an educational obligation." The principle of cooperation, therefore, between the teacher
and the public is recognized by most of the pension systems that are now in
operation.

realized by those who are interested in pensions that there is no mystery
underlying these principles, and, above all, that financial obligations cannot be
carried out for any length of time unless funds are in existence to meet them,
and that so far as teachers and their employers are concerned, the chief
question to be studied is how to provide these funds in the most inexpensive
and economical method consistent with justice to the teachers, fairness to the
public, and the promotion of efficiency in education."

Principles of a Just System
The
principles underlying a just system are strongly set forth by a commis-
sion comprising representatives of State universities, the Association of Ameri-
can Colleges, the American Association of University Professors, and the

Carnegie Foundation, and are as follows
1. The function of a pension system is to secure to the individual who participates in it protection against the risk of dependence due to old age or to
disability.

corporation, or an individual, has a
direct financial*, interest in the establishment of some pension system which
shall enable old or disabled employees to retire under satisfactory conditions.
In addition, society demands today that the employer assume some part in
the moral and social betterment of his employees. The obligation of the
employer to cooperate in sustaining a pension system is primarily a financial
one, and in the second place, a moral one.
4. A pension system designed for any group of industrial or vocational
workers should rest upon the cooperation of employee and employer.
5. Teachers' pensions should be stipendiary in character, amounting to a

The employer, whether a government, a
fair portion of the active pay.
In creating a pension system for the teachers of North Carolina, errors

may be avoided, it is believed, by observing
these additional principles laid down by the Commission referred to above
that have crept into other systems
as follows
1. In actual terms a pension
is
a deferred annuity
upon the
life
of one or
rnore individuals, payable upon the fulfillment of certain conditions.

2. In order that an individual participating in a pension system may be
assured of his annuity when due, one condition is indispensable. There must

the participator obtain a satisfactory contract. The man of thirty who participates in a pension plan under which he expects an annuity thirty-five or
forty years in the future, will take some risk of disappointment in accepting
any arrangement less secure than a contractual one.
3. A pension system conducted upon the actual basis of setting aside, year
by year, the necessary reserve is the only pension system whose cost can be
accurately estimated in advance.
-4. A method by which a pension is paid for in advance in annual or monthly
installments is the most practical plan which can be devised for purchasing
deferred annuity, provided that the contributions begin early in the employee's career
and provided, also, that the contributions paid in year by
year receive the benefit of the current interest from safe investments.
5. As a matter of practical administration, a pension system should apply
to a group whose members live under comparable financial and economic conditions.
To attain its full purpose, participation in the pension system to the
extent of an agreed minimum should form a condition of entering the service
or employment the members of which are cooperating in the pension system.
