ay i tarred ma Governor Thomas E. Dewey recently signed a bill which authorizes a state census of uninsured drivers in New York. The bill may lead to a decision whether the Dewey Administration in New York will press for enact- ment of a compulsory insurance law for all automobile owners. _ New York State is not the first, or even a pioneer, state to take up this serious problem. Various states have a variety of driyer-responsibility laws and the trend seems to be toward a greater insistence on the part of State gov- ernments that drivers be either bonded or insured against losses they might inflict on other people or property. There is, of course, much opposition to the proposal for a mandatory driver-responsibility law. Many drivers say they do not want to take out insurance, have never had an accident and that safe drivers — under mandatory laws — will-have,to ‘pay premiums for insurance which will never be needed, The fa!lacy in this argument is the mount- ing death list on every major national highway. Ofte» those involved are most careful drivers. It is the careless drivers the law is designed to make responsible. In making them responsible, the law will pro- tect the safe drivers as well as other careless drivers. While it may be true that life-long careful drivers, who have never had an accident, may not need driver-in- surance as much as careless drivers, it is nevertheless true that all drivers are subject to sun and light blind- ness, heart attack and other sudden physical failures and many other human failures, which mortal man cannot control. Thus, there is a good argument for compulsory automobile insurance among all citizens. Some few states have lead the way in this vital modern-day problem, but in too many states there is a complete lack of driver-re- sponsibility. You can still make many friends by speaking nicely about people. Isn’t-it funny how some women spend so much time on besuty treatments? There are those who expect to get to Heaven by tell- ing others they are going to Hell. We sometimes think that the world would be better off if there was a moratoriam on advice.
