Governor Outlines Eight Proposals Representing Eento Ports
OF His Pogrum for Peucetm Years Ahead Buffalo Speech

ination against any class or section
of our country or any race, creed or
color.
Proposal No. adopt an entirely
new tax structure which will do
these things:
l. Change the personal exemption
so that man who makes as little
as $11 q week no longer has an in
come tax taken cut of his standard
of living.
2. Reduce personal income tax
rates so that the tax law, after
credit for dependents, will no longer
take at least % cents out of every
taxable dollar in the pay envelope.
3. Change and lower the income
tax On business so that it can be
encouraged to expand and help Gre
ate the millions of jobs we need.
4. Overhaul the whole tax struc-
ture so that 1t is simple. so that
every one can understand 1t and
then stick to 1t over q period of
years so everybody knows he can
go ahead and build, and create jobs.
Would Broaden Security.
Proposal No. Snake our Social
Security System available to every
American and not to a selected part
OF our people. For nine long years,
the New Deal has kept 10000 600
Americans out of our old-age pen
sion system. The right to old age
benefits has become a fundamental
OF our society. We can and must
extend the system of old-age bene-
fits and social security to all our
people and build a society strong
enough to support 1t.
Proposal No. 4-Establish a def
mite and secure floor under farm
prices by the means outlined in nv
speech last Saturday. together with
the other elements of that program.
and free the American farmer from
dictation by Washington.
Proposal No. 5-Restore free COL
lective bargaining in America.
Sprawling Government agencies
have now established an iron rule
over the wages. hours and chance to
get a Job, OF every American worker.
We shall establish the Fair Employ
ment Practices Committee as a per-
manent agency with full legal au-
thority. We will merge the balance
OF these agencies in a strong and
competent Department OF Labor un-

one which failed for eight straight
years of peace from 1888 to 1910.
And let me add that the figures
showing that failure have been cor
rectly quoted by me from the be-
ginning to the end of this campaign.
NY opponent has insinuated that
they were not correct but he has
never dared point to one he dis
agreed with. Instead. he says with a
sneer that when he was Governor
Of New York he quoted figures cor
rectly. do not recall his quoJing
figures at all when he. was Gov
ernor of New York and very rarely
since then-for one very good rea-
son. In every administration Mr..
Roosevelt has headed, he ended up
in the red. No country can long sur
vive under any leader who piles up a
higher debt each year, not just in
war, but in peace.
Economy Is Contrasted.
Let us, as Nation, relearn one
simple thing. Our peacetime eco
nomic system lis like a high-pow-
cred motor. Every part of 1t must
work or the engine will run badly.
If one spark plug goes bad, the en-
gine loses power. If the distributor is
out Of order or the fuel line gets
stopped up or the carburetor goes
bad, the whole tremendous power of
the machine fails.
That's what the New Deal doesn't
know and never could learn. 1t had
to tinker first with one thing and
then with another. 1t has changed
the tax laws IS times in IL years so
no man could plan ahead. 1t fought
first one part of our making
machinery, then another. 1t was
never willing in all its years to let all
the parts of this machine function
smoothly.
1t is shocking thing that my op-
ponent, after IL years as President
felt compelled to announce, as news,
last Saturday night, that he believes
in the enterprise system, yet, in all
his campaign speeches, my opponent
has not indicated how he will
achieve in postwar years what he so
tragically failed to achieve in pre-
war years. .
Let me summarize, in brief, some
essential parts Of the program of
action I have proposed these last
two months for the peacetime years
ahead. Virtually every element of
our program is something the New
Deal has fought against or neglect
ed, and cannot now, for election
purposes. claim to favor.
Proposals for Years Ahead.
Here is the program for these
peacetime years ahead:
Proposal No. direct all Govern
ment policies toward the goal OF full
employment through full production
at high level OF wages for the
worker with an incentive for the
businessman to succeed. Your next
administration will work out the
problems affecting labor, agriculture
and business in full consultation
with all three and without discrim-

/ der the leadership Of q man from
the ranks OF labor.
Proposal No. 6-Survey forthwith
the millions of reports required of
big and little business every year by,
Government and Immediately abol-
ish the greater part of them. We
have done 1t in New York and we
can do 1t in the Nation.
Would End Monopolies.
Proposal No. Bring a competent
staff of prosecutors into the Depart
ment of Justice so that we can
bring an end to business monopoly
In this country instead of just talk
ing about it.
Proposal No. Establish an en-
tirely new basis between the Presi-
dent and the Congress so that once
again each shall have respect for
the other and be willing to work
together again.
My opponent has continually
criticized and attempted to purge
the members of the houses of Con-
gress elected by the people. He has
so abused and insulted the Congress
that his own Senate leader rebelled
just this year and denounced the
word of veto message by my op-
ponent as more clever than honest"
and as "a calculated and deliberate
assault on the legislative integrity
of every member of Congress"
That declaration was cheered to
the rafters by the Senators, and the
members of the House swarmed into
the Senate to congratulate the
speaker.
That Is what three terms OF un-
limited power does to a man. That
is why four terms, or 16 years, is
the most dangerous threat to our
freedom ever proposed. That is one
reason why believe that two terms
must be established as the limit by
constitutional amendment.
We have seen that a New Deal
Congress no longer thrusts or ac-
cepts leadership from my opponent.
1t is generally agreed that the
House and probably the Senate will
be Republican next year. So, already
Mr.. Roosevelt has undertaken to
insult the new leadership. In his
speech of last Friday night he ac-
cused the men who will be the new
leaders Of placing political advan-
tage above devotion to country, just
because they publicly pledged them
selves to program for lasting peace
We must not have-we cannot have
four years more of stalemate and
hostility between the President and
the Congress.
Harmony Is Sought.
We must restore to the White

Is Tons Superphosphate
Delivered In One W e Elk
To Union County Farms

MONROE, Feb. 6-Fifteen tons
of superphosphate were delivered
to II IVA demonstration farmers
in Union County and six tons OF
potash to four potash demonstra-
tion farmers in one week, reports
Z. M. Mayfield, assistant farm
agent with the State College Elk
tension Service. He says that he
has spent two weeks with these
demonstration farmers checking
farm records and making plans
for their 1914 crops. The use OF
the superphosphate and potash on
all the farms showed excellent re-
suits in pastures and lespedeza.
Mayfield says that 1espedeza yields
for hay were especially good, and
that from three to four tons OF
this hay were harvested on several
Union County farms during the
past wear.

|DAIRYMEN CARRY
MANY ANIMALS

COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh,
Feb. 6-Blood samples of cattle
in North Carolina show that some
dairymen and feeders are carry
ing more animals in their herds
than conditions justify, reports L.
D. Baver, director of the N. c.
Agricultural Experiment Station
at State College.
There is tendency on the
par of some growers to feed te

of the Station. Their findings show

been completed.
Along in mid-September,
farmer came rushing into Mr..
Broom's' office about four o'clock
one afternoon with the informa-
ton that some buses were In the
county gathering Negro laborers
for transportation to Knoxville.
This man said that three of his
best 'fhands" were going and that
the buses would arrive in Mon
roe about five O'Clock. Acting on
suggestions from the nearby U.
S. Employment Agency at Char
lotte, Mr.. Broom notified the
police. They were ready for the
buses when they arrived. Fifty
five men had been assembled in
Monroe but when the men found
that they could not. get away or
get a jo without a release, the
whole scheme fell through and
the buses returned empty to
Knoxville while the laborers re-
turred TO their work.
From that time on, we had
little trouble in holding the line"
Mr.. Broom says. Later in the
fall, however, the Employment
Service itself caused us some diff
ficulty. We were called upon for
labor for Camp Sutton, for the
United States Rubber Company
plant near Charlotte, and for tex
tile mills at Monroe, Kannapolis.
Concord. Charlotte, Fort Mill.
Lancaster and other nearby points.
We told the Service that none of
our labor could be released until
the crops had all been harvested
and the fall seeding completed. I"
AS result of this action, no
needed labor was permitted to
leave the farms Of Union County
until early in November. Even
then, it was stipulated that this
labor must return to the farms
by March l of this year. This &C
ton of course, did not make the
situation perfect in Union Coun-
ty but it did help a great deal
and not only were the farmers
benefited but the Employment
Service expressed Is deep appre-
citation for the very practical hand
ling of a difficult problem. All
over North Carolina, farmers
will need the same able and COM
mon sense aid this year. They also
will need to do much among them
selves in the way of exchanging
help and machines. If this is done,
and it will be, feed production
should be continued on the same
plentiful basis as it has been for
the past seven years.

|FARM BULLETIN
NOW AVAILABLE

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh
Feb. 6-Home gardeners interest
ed in growing such crops as straw
berries, dewberries, raspberries,
head lettuce, asparagus, celery
and onions this season will be
benefited by having copy Of the
War Series Bulletin 10. 30, says
M. E. Gardner, head of the hor.
ticulture department at State Col
lege.
This new bulletin. prepared by
the horticultural Extension spe-
cialists, contains valuable informa'
ton on these important but not
commonly grown crops. The au.
thors list the recommended varie-
ties of the different crops, the
soil types best suited, how to seed,
to grow the plants, to set the
plants in the garden, and how to
follow those cultural practices
which should give best results.
The bulletin also describes the
construction and use of the frame
garden, a simple structure which
may be used for the production
of early plants of the hardy vege.
tables or early crops of some Of
the more tender vegetables, Gard
ner says. This frame garden has
the advantage of protecting tender
plants from the cool weather ir
early spring and in the tbt, dry
weather Of late summer. The size
of the frame garden will depend
upon the purpose for which il
it will be used. Small structures
may be used to produce the few
plants needed for transplanting tt
the home garden, or if the cror
is to be grown to maturity in the
frame garden, it may be made as
large as necessary.
Copies of the new bulletin are
available from each county farm
agent or may be obtained free Of
charge by writing cord or letter
to the Agricultural Editor, State
College, Raleigh, N. c., and ask
ing for a copy of War Series Bull
letin No. 30.

Good Weather Used

County Farmers made good use of
the clear weather in January by

and collecting wood to use in their
tobacco barns. Assistant County
Agent Walter Fuller Of the State

reports show that at least so per
cent of the county's tobacco farm
ers have completed and seeded
their tobacco beds. In addition, a
number have been busy cutting

The Tar
Heel
Gardener
By John Fl. Harris
N. c. State College

Those who want to eat well in
1914 are already purchasing gar.
den seed, getting garden guides,
and calling for garden publica-
lions at the office of the county
agent or the home demonstration
agent.
You will remember that we had
more than half a million gardens
in North Carolina last year, worth
an estimated SO million dollars.
Uncle Sam is asking us to grow
about 10 per cent more gardens
this year and we can do it.
If weather conditions are good,
we can surely make many more
vegetables than we did during the
especially dry weather of last
summer. We should all buckle
down to the job again, determined
to grow just as many vegetables
as possible, and one of the best
ways of doing this is by planting
a succession of crops.
Many of us experimental with
some vegetables which were more
or less new to us. Others, with
very small gardens, specialized
and made excellent records. One
man, for example, grew more to-
matoes than anything else and
snapped tomatoes to his neighbor
for beans.
If conditions permit, plant both
the yellow and green vegetables
so as to get a better rounded diet.
Choose vegetables that can be
eaten raw.
Last year some gardeners got
overly enthusiastic, jumped the
gun, and planted entirely too early.
OF cburse, none of us know what
the weather will be but if we fol-
low the lead of experienced gar
deners in our paintings we will get
better results.

Public Defender Carmody Makes Plea for Accused Latter Sentenced in Recent Crusade Against Local
 Gamblers; Serves Minimum of Pour Months

Frank P. McEvoy- for freedom and was granted a years time in which to pay the debt. j..
 DeLilloy who also was sentenced to four months in jail, was eligible for release last Jan. g, with time of for good behavior, but his con- flnement was continued because of the debt. By today he had already served 12 extra days which will be credited to his court costs of 9l3.3S at the rate of q per day.
 It was claimed today by Public Defender Edward T. Cafmody, who represented him, that DeIlillo [ has no funds and would be compelled to work of the debt in jail unless the court granted his request for free- dom.
 In accordance with a recommen- dation made by States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, the jufist or defed execution of the penalty to be suspended for one year, placed De- Lillo on probation for one year and instructed him to pay the court bill within that period.
 The order was issued after Judge McEvoy called DeLillo, who was brought here from the jail, before the bench and talked to him. De- Lilo was one of 17 men arrested as the result of a series of gambling raids conducted here Aug. 20.
