66 THE MEDICAL SOCIETY OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA "Resolved, that the House of Delegates of the North Carolina Medical Society favor the present scale of fees for automobile license tags for North Carolina. "That fifty per cent of the cost of the licenses be used to purchase liability insurance for each and every automobile in the State. The amount of insurance to be applied first to those injured, in supplying medical attention and hospital care and the repair of damages to automobile and other property." That this body in session furnish their respective Representatives and Senators copies of this resolution urging them to support this measure and to see that such a bill is passed at the next Legislature in 1937. That each and every member write or wire their endorsement of this measure and in every way urge the passage of such a bill in the next Legislature. We believe that if fifty per cent of the present license fee be used to purchase insurance covering liabilities incurred by each and every automobile licensed by the State, that the insurance will be ample to cover at least seventy-five per cent of all the accidents that happen and perhaps more. Each applicant for license to also have the privilege of purchasing additional amounts of insurance when desired at the same rate furnished by the State by paying an additional amount. The State may purchase this insurance to be furnished the owners of automobiles from one or more reliable insurance companies at a very low rate, but if not able to purchase it at a very low rate then the State should create an insurance department to handle this insurance and also other insurance needed to cover other State controlled institutions, highways, employees, hospitals, schools and school buses, if desired. The said insurance department created and controlled by the State could use the funds collected to invest in North Carolina bonds and in this way create in part its own bondholders and market for same, keeping all the funds at home' and at work. To operate an automobile on the streets and highways without being financially and physically able to be responsible for at least a part of the damage that might be incurred by an owner of a car is a growing menace to society. The owner and driver of a second-hand T-model Ford worth $50.00 with only two drinks, may rip off the side of your Buick or Packard, send you to the hospital and maybe cripple you for life or send you to the undertakers without any responsibility except perhaps a small fine or road sentence to satisfy the Court. With this amount of group insurance at least $500 liability could be placed on every automobile in the State which will in a measure cover a great majority of all the accidents and damages to automobiles and
