Farm Bureau Head "If you want to keep good government in North Carolina, vote for the Constitutional Amendment on reapportionment," Perquimans County Farm Bureau President Rollo White says. North Carolina has a remark able history of good government, Mr. White pointed out. "The ! chief reason is that we have I lrpnf a rpacnnnhlo hnlnnpo nf power between conflicting inter ests in the State Legislature", he said. "We don't want to lose this balance and have a Legis lature controlled by selfish in interests." Mr. White said he believed it would be a simple matter for selfish power factions, backed by blocs of voters, to gain control Of the Legislature if both Houses are based on population. "The Constitutional Amend ment would permit the House to be based on area (one Repre- taepj(ath' .to. each . county.iny the- jS,tate), andithf ; Senate tbj be' bas ed 'on population,'" White said. "It .gives, the 'populous j af eas of the, i JJtaie I quite, . tdougn -: power, because ' they would be in con trol of the Senate. Furthermore, ss their population' increases, they would keep ' gaining Sena tors." . ' On the other hand, the amend ment psun woulo insure fair rep resentation of rural counties in the House even if they continue to' lose population, as predicted by experts, White continued. "It seems to me," Mr. White says, "that what the people of the state want is the best represen tation in the Legislation for ALL the people of the State, and this means for every segment of the economy. I'm sure that city peo ple, a great many who depend on trade with rural people for their living, must realize that .any thing that hurts the rural people eventually hurts the city people, too." ,: .; White ', noted : 'that - "govern ment in this- State, has grown so big and expensive already, and certainly will keep growing. ; It would be a - major; tragedy . if North Carolina doesn't have the balance of power in the Legis lature to keep her growing gov ernment on an even keel. "We don't want to see our ship of state founder either to the left or the .right. We want to keep a middle course," Mr. White said. .; . The Perquimans' County Farm Bureau president urges all the voters of Perquimans C&unty: to vote for. the Constitutional Amendment on January 14. ', Civil Service Exam :v for Food Workers .
