far seems to have been generally overlooked. That
duty is to pare state expenditures to the bone.
This year we will all pay higher federal taxes. And,
as every informed person knows, the increases so far
approved by congress mark but a very short step along
a very long road. Further tax boosts cannot be post
poned for long—federal income is now not meeting the

Compulsory Insurance Good, But*"
Compulsory insurance on all motor vehicles would
be a fine thing if public safety were all the state gov
ernment had to consider at this time. It is right in line
with the safety campaign conducted by the secretary
of state and having the sanction and assistance of
other state officials and all thoughtful motorists. It is
true that thousands of cars are being driven by people
not financially responsible in case of accident and the
ideal situation would be for every vehicle to carry
liability insurance.
It is conceivable that every car or motor vehicle
owner who has the means is carrying all insurance
necessary for protection. There also is another class of
motorists who carry fire, theft and collision but who
do not feel able to assume the added burden of liability.
Many of this class will take on the extra protection
whenever possible. The third class includes those who
are unable to carry insurance and not a few who would
not insure even if able to do so.
It is not the purpose of this newspaper to argue the
case one way or the other. It is possible to recognize
merits on both sides and in the present situation, with
the state government endeavoring to carry on without
