has been expressed lest the roads to
the school houses shall not be kept in
proper repair. I share that solicitude
and have provided and am providing
the funds for that purpose.
"The voiceless thousands in our in
stitutions for mental treatment and
those laboring under other handicaps,
as well as the old and INDECENT, have
no special leaders to present their
cause. We dare not forget our OBJ
legations to these"
Although the governor has delivered
general recommendations and budget
messages to joint sessions, his speech
last night was his first to the law
maker on a specific piece of legisla-
ton. The address was delivered in the
hall of the house, which was packed
to the top tier of the balcony.
Many persons in the balcony wore
red ribbons, on which were printed
Oppose diversion"
II shall be happy to stand with Won
before the people of North Carolina
in justification and defense of the
policy of this state in applying the
sales tax to gasoline to the extent nee.
essary to meet the appropriations If
the general fund should prove insult
ficient for that purpose" said the
governor.
THAT policy is no diversion of tho
road fund 1t is the safest way to pro-
tect the road fund from real diver
sion. Why do 1 say this? Because
when you once begin levying a direct
! tax on gasoline for general purposes
the way is then open and the bars
are down, and there will be a consis-
tent increase.
"The present policy has been estab-
lished for four years and it sets a de-
finite limitation-the amount of the
sales tax-with the provision that
none will be used unless needed. anc
under the same law none has beer
used in this biennium.'
The governor said it was the duty
of the legislators to meet the respon.
slbllitles of the hour and to perform
their duty fearlessly.

the first of the vegetables to rech

cations are that many thousands
of acres will be planted in these

a trend toward a larger pack of
peas, beans, tomatoes, sugar corn,
pumpkins, and other products this
wear than for several seasons, ac-
cording to a survey in this part of
the state. Farmers are basing
their opinions, in part on happen
ings abroad. They point out that
in event of war, larger market
for foodstuffs would be created. In
addition, they say the consumption
of canned products in this country
is increasing.
