JOHNSON FAVORS
HOME RULE PLAN
State Treasurer Says Local
Boards Should Have
Funds Jurisdiction

CONCORD, March 5. - P) -
State Treasurer Charles M. John.
son said Tuesday night that insofar
as North Carolina is concerned.
IT for one believe that our people
are able and willing to support the
needs of our people without calling
upon the Federal government"
If the Federal government has
surplus money, sit would be one
thing" he said, but when they are
raising it by selling bonds that is
something else. and if they send
us money they naturally are going
to tell us when, where, and how to
spend it.
Johnson's speech was prepared
for delivery on citizenship night
sponsored by the Concord Lions
club.
Once again he called for con-
stitutional amendment 'for what
is commonly known as home-rule.
xxx it does not imply entire free
dom from state influence, it simply
means that state supremacy will
be exercised ou1y with regard to
matters of statewide concern. I am
sure you will agree with me that
the state should exercise control
over creating debt. xxx
''We should also have statewide
laws covering such matters as
budgets, listing property, collection
of taxes, and matters of this kind;
however, the state is not concerned
with, neither do I think that the
General Assembly should be called
upon or want to be bothered with
whether or not the city clerk or
register of deeds has another clerk
in his office, or how much they
should be paid.
1.-THE city or county commission
ers who are elected by the same
people who elect the members OF
the General Assembly and who
have to levy the taxes and get the
blame if the rate goes up, should
be the body to pass on this matter.

Rock Strata
"A thick strata of rock lies under
almost the whole of Brunswick
county, at various depths. The
point where it is credited with be-
ing near the surface is down the
Cape Fear river, covering wide
area near Southport and running
out into the Cape Fear shoals.
At some points this rock is only
80 or 40 feet beneath the surface
of the ground. 1t accounts for the
once dreaded Cape Fear shoals
with its rocky formation on the
bottom.

country, with II out of every 100
included in a survey there de-
claring they have been following
discussions about the loan.
A similar survey in this coun-
try finds only 81 in every 100
among the voting population de-
claring they have been following
the discussions.
On the matter Of approval or
dsapproval, while opponents Of
the loan in this country can point
to the fact that the weight of
opinion among those following the
discussions Is not in favor Of the
proposal, those who do not favor
the loan can point to the fact that
the more a person knows about
the loan, the more he is inclined
to favor it.
When the vote in this country
is broken down by education
groups, people in the survey with
college training approve the loan
to Britain by a substantial major
ity, In contrast to those with an
elementary school education or
less, who !disapprove the loan by
about two to one vote.
IN BRITAIN, where the ques-
ton Of accepting or rejecting the
loan was holly debated in Par
lament, the British public by
majority of three to one approves
accepting the loan.
The questions both here and in
Britain were limited to those who
say they have followed discus,
sions about the loan.
