WHERE SENATOR L.
r. THOMAS STANDS

Mr.. Thomas is candidate for State
senator on the Republican ticket. The
following Is copied from the Bingham
county News in its issue Of October
10Th, and is herewith presented for
comparison with the statements of
John Il. Foulks, Candidate for State
Senator on the Democratic ticket:
Il know the burden of taxation Ia
heavy" said Mr.. Thomas, TOR I am
taxpayer myself. will be against
all expenditures not absolutely nee
essary for the economical running of
the government. Wherever it is nos
s1ble to cut out an item that is not
really essential I will favor it. Let
us wait until the burden of taxation
Is lifted somewhat before we spend
money for things we wish to have
but cannot afford. We must stop ev-
er expenditure not necessity. All
taxing units should economic as we
have had to economize our personal
expenditures.
Doubtless economies can be effect
ed by further consolidation of Off
ces, and a reduction Of employees. and
I will favor this wherever it can be
done.
while 1t was doubtless necessary
to increase salaries during the peak
prices inflated by war conditions. this
condition no longer exists, and thew
can be reduced to correspond more
nearly with the reduced cost Of liv-
ing"
While you are nominated in the
Republican ticket I do not suppose
that, IL elected, you will consider
yourself the representative of Repub-
licans exclusively" Mr.. Thomas was
asked.
by no means" replied Mr.. Thomas
II will consider myself the represen-
tative Of Republicans, Democrats,
Progressives, farmers, business men.
wage earners-all classes
Moreover it has always been NV
custom and practice to support any
and all legislation that appeared to
me as being good. regardless of the
politics of the persons Introducing
the bills.
whenever any measure come I'M
for consideration in which the people
OF Bingham County are interested
shall want to know their desires and
shall vote accordingly. I respect the
opinions OF my constituents, and ev-
eryone who writes to me relative to
pending legislation will be answered.
MY only desire Is to be the represent
tative of the people in all that the
term implies"

Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to plant
: an English colony in America,
and the expeditions which he
sent established q little colony
ON Roanoke island. There in
1887 was born the first Ameri-

She was named Virginia Dare,
after the virgin queen. This col
ony, due to England's war with
Spain, could not be properly sup

persisted. 1t was not until over
century later that permanent
settlements were made. Daring
pioneers from Virginia pressed
south into the new territory, and
these, augmented by q large :
company of Huguenots from .
France and greater number of
Germans from the Palatinate, .
founded the first North Carolina

population in North Carolina :
had increased to such an extent, 3

settled chiefly in the western
