"untsvllle, Alt Deo. IS "The
i ra bloc," long a potent force in
American politic, will be an "od
dity of the past, referred to only in
liatory books" 25 year from now,
according to Austin KipUnger, ex
ecutive editor ; of the KipUnger
Washington Letter, . t C
There will be no such thing as
the "farm states? in American pol
itics by 1982,' the Washington editor
; told an audience of southern buat
; nessmen here recently. The agri
: cultural states, will become increas-
lngly industrialized, v This process
has already begun. Last year, for
example, farm families received
; one-third, or 6.7 billion dollars of
away from the farm. By 1982 we
: predict that fully half the in-
come of farm families will come
',; from non-farm work, from employ
ment in light - industry, . service
- trades, and other lobs.
t Who will produce the food?
' "The mechanization of farms has
already enabled us to produce more
with fewer farm workers. This pro
cess will continue. In 25 years Am
erican farms will produce one third
more food and fiber with 40 per
cent " fewer farm workers,"- the
editor told his audience.
, "The political effect of his econ
omic change will be that the farm
bloc will begin to share the view
point of the industrial states.: We
will see fewer and fewer of those
classic legislative . and political
struggles between, agricultural and
industrial interests,' the ' Washing
ton editor said.

to be a Job of no mean proportions,
I'm here to tell you. Although, the
Motor Vehicles Department has,
and is, receiving questions aplenty,
hardly a squeak has been heard re'
garding why the Legislature ,pas
Ml the bill. , 4 - '
' It's a question bound to' be re
peated thousands of itmes between
now' and the first of the year, when
1958 license tags go on sale through
out the state. And actually the an
swer is simple, despite the wealth
of inaccurate answers that have
been making the rounds.
' But first, the highlights of the
new law are simply, that no motor
vehicle may be operated on . the
highways of North . Carolina next
year without the owner first hav
ing proved financial responsibility.
For most of us, that means having
an adequate liability insurance po
licy in hand. Or if they chose, mo
torists may deposit in cash $11,000
or post a $15,000 bond in lieu of
insurance.
In any case you've got to stand
behind any damages you cause in
an accident.
And to get your new license plate
you'll have to have a certificate of
insurance or that FS-1 form, I men
tioned in the beginning. That's im
portant. Show up to buy a license
with the insurance policy itself
or a wallet card, or anything but
an FS-1 and you won't get a tag. '
Why then, as some folks have
said, did the General Assembly
"saddle" us with what amounts to
compulsory liability insurance?
I can say the more carefully one
examines the record the plainer it
becomes that Representative Walter
Jones of Pitt, father of the bill,
spoke the unvarnished truth when
he said his only purpose was to pro
tect innocent victims from death,
injury and property loss at the
hands of financially irresponsible
drivers.
In the first place it is not an in
surance company law. As a matter
of fact, the Insurance industry was
sharply divided on the subject
Judging by the lobby records In
the Secretary of State's office, those
insurance firms fighting the bill
spent more money and put forth
greater effort than those who wan-t
ed the bill passed.
Most everybody will admit that
the purpose of the law is good.
Some of us may not like it, es
pecially those who are going to
be forced to secure insurance to
drive at all next year. But I say let's
look at this experiment in financial
protection from another viewpoint.
' The law is on the books and we
are saddled with it or blessed by
it for at least a year. There's noth
ing we can- do about that unless
somebody tin the Legislature is
going to be cauea oacK in spetnu
session to re-fight a battle s re
cently decided. So why not hoht our
fire for a few months at least? Why
not give the new law a chance to
prove Itself, one way or another?
It may be we win ilk the way
it works. And even If we don't we
can't get rid at it any sooner by
xauing to give a a xair iruu.
