Equalization Matter
School folk officially took their
debt consolidation ideas to the county
commission Monday and, lor the most
part, won indications they’ll get what
they wanted.
The county commi.ssion voted to
ask the Local Government Commission
for 1) permission to consolidate the
school debt and 2) permis.sion to call an
election on a $4,050,000 bond issue for
the county .schooLs—passage of one con
tingent ot approval of both.
Kings Mountain district didn't gel
a committment to seek stale literary
lund loans—if needed—to augment its
currently planned construction pro
gram, which will start soon. But Uie
commission didn’t say “no”, accepting
the suggestion that “we’ll cross thai
bridge when we get there”.
No committment w'as made either
on a fund equalization request. The
Kings Mountain construction bond dis
trict tax has produced a .surplus heavi
er than of the Shelby district. The coun
ty district.
Indeed, County Manager Joe Hen
drick was reported as throwing a bit
of cold water on the Kings Mountain
request pointing out that the debt .serv
ice tax revenue, under law, must be ex
pended as voted.
Mr. Hendrick, of course, was quite
correct in what he said.
However, there ai'e other simple
and legal means to accomplish the re
quested, clc.sired, and lair end.
County tax school general fund col
lections, historically (and correctly)
divied on a per student basis, can be
used to manage the equalization, as the
proposed $4,050,000 in bonds will equa
lize the county district share of con
struction money with the Shelby and
Kings Mountain districts.
' No strain is expected
should be.
here, nor
And Now Agnew?
Many folk say they don't, but the
Herald, hardly in the Republican camp,
has had a sneaking like for the likes ol
Spiro Agnew', the vice-president. Like
George Wallace, as the Herald has said
before, he’s pithy but refreshingly en
tertaining.
Now the investigators are inve.sti-
gating him, with allegations of the vil
est forms of slush fund legerdemain.
These allegations make the Water
gate business look like child’s play.
Grant Means Gift ^
It has come to the Herald’s atten
tion that some citizens still believe that
the city must repay the federal govern
ment f/r the project grants it has re
ceived for a managerie of share pro
jects such as water, s?wer. communiU
center, urban redevelopment, and oth
ers.
That's not the w'ay it is.
A grant is a gift, with no strings
attached, other than requirements to
implement strictly Iheapproved project
plans, and to account properly for the
expenditure of federal funds.
The city (nor any other over the
nation receiving such grants) owes noi
one cent to the federal government for
these grants.
Yea, gift.s.
The Herald wa.s a bit “old foggie ’
on mounting demands for dial telephone
' .service here and one of the principal
reasons was the good service provided
by Ml’S. Jack Arnette, chief operator,
and her girls at the Kings Mountain ex
change. She recently z'etired after 33
years with Southern Bell.
Congratulations to Captain Marsh
Campbell, named an Outstanding
Man of America for 1973.
Assigned Risk Out
In the fifties, when the North Caro
lina General Assembly cdicted that no
Tar Heel motorist would drive an auto
uncovered by liability insurance, the
law was widely hailed.
It became .something of a nightmare
for all concerned.
What made it a bad dream was
necessity of the underwriting companies
to seek and win an “assigned risk' law.
If the car owner and its drivers (wile,
husband, kid.s, employees) had bad
driving marks, such as driving errors
resulting in traffic tickets or liis-laull
wrecks, the motorist was put in assign
ed risk.
The companies had the right to
designate insurance applicants in such
manner, and, w ith their rates controlled,
so designated in ever-increasing cre
scendo, with the result that 30 percent
of the stale’s three million policy-hold
ers have an AR stamped on their poli
cies.
It is therefore no accident that North
Carolina has more AR's than any other
state in the union, as the undorwi’ilers
cancelled policies on flimsiest of ex
cuses.
AR rates aren’t greatly higher than
regular rates, l)ul the limits of coverage
an' vastly lower. Indeed, this was the
big push to AR, as costs ol autos esca
lated. along with other property dam
ages and personal injury costs.
Insurance Commissioner John In
gram can credit his election in large
measure to his tori bright pledge to rid
the state of AR.
While the General Assembly ol
1973 did not fully implement Mr. In
gram’s ideas it adopted enough of them
to make it possible to pul AR into limbo.
Almost everyone feels the changes
will be helpful, ‘meanlime being ot a
form with which all—underwriter, a-
gent, and auto owner — can live.
The underwriters will slil have n
pool, sharing poor-risk drivoi losses on
basis of gross receipts from Tar Hetd
insurers.
The driver himself won't know’
w'hcther he’s a pool designee, or not, and
his coverage will bo the responsibility
ot the underwriter with which it is
written. Rates will be the same for one
driver, as another, as the Herald under
stands it. But no longer will the autt)
owner be vdsited by a representative ol
the carrier with sudden policy cancella
tions.
The 1973 legislation didn't touch
collision insurance, where the AR driver
found rates t wo-and-one-half times
those of the good-risk driver. This is
rather important, too, Few^ pay cash for
cars. Few can borrow' the money out
side conventional chattel financing,
which requires collision insurance cov
erage on the vehicle as long as same is
joint property of the motorist and his
bank or finance company.

Mohe power to him.
Did He Need Two?
The nation became accustomed
long ago to the idea of presidential re
treats from Washington long ago.
Even his most ardent political ene
mies did not begrudge crippled Presi-
fi.mt Franklin D. Roosevelt the sooth
ing waters of warm springs.
President Harry S. Truman vacn-
lionod at Key West and most folk liked
his jaunty walk and loud shii ts.
It w;\s fine for President Dwight
Eisenhower to .slip off for the W’eekenri
to Camp David or to Augusta foi’ a
round of kolf.
Etc., Etc.
But did Mr. Nixon require Camp
David and TWO more at a $10 millioji
cost?
Mr. Truman, at Key West, required
no expensive communications outlay.
The navy already had it.
