PLEADS FOR REGULATION
Of ALL STREET TRAFFIC
President Rowe of A. A. A. Asserts
That Pedestrians Are to Blame
for Most Accidents.

IF each Of the elements of traffic
could be kept in its proper place at the
right time, the big problem of regula- :
ton would be solved" is the opinion of
President H. M. Rowe of the American
Automobile Association, whose recent
utterances at the safety first conven-
tion 4. created considerab ble CONNIE mt
throughout the country. because the
doctrine was put forward that the pc
destrian must also be regulated as
well as the vehicle in bringing about
improved traffic movement
"The sidewalks are for pedestrians
and the streets primarily for vehicles,
continues the head of the organized
motor car owners. The pedestrian
should be and is safeguarded in his
use of, the sidewalks and designated
crossings, where he should at all times
have the right Of way. When he at
tempts to use the streets at points
other than at crossings. then he should
do so at his own peril. Furthermore,
when he occupies the street at any
other than at designated crossings, it
should be prima facie evidence of gross
carelessness on his part and he should
be made to assume the responsibility y
for his conduct. On the other hand.
drivers of vehicles should have prece-
dence between crossings. They should
have right to expect that they will
only have to look out for other vehi-

COST OF MOVING A TON
A MILE TRUE ROAD TEST
Chairman Diehl Holds Traffic Census
Necessary to Good
Construction.

What it costs to move ton mile is
the true answer in selecting the type
Of road necessary to meet the service
needs of main artery of communica-
ton, according to Chairman George c.
Diehl of the A. A. A. good roads board.
I'm order to arrive at the ton-mile
cost" says Mr.. Diehl. 1t is essential,
first. to have the total cost of construc-
tion and maintenance: next. to have
the amount of traffic tonnage. The first
cost must be the result of a properly
kept system of records. and the total
cost of maintenance and construction
must equal the total outlay made by
the highway. department. as this is the
only method possible to avoid omission
of important items. The amount of
traffic must be obtained by traffic CEN
sus This should be divided between
passenger and commercial vehicles
and also between motor-driven and
horse drawn vehicles.
Until some such system is adopted.
selection of the type of road is largely
a matter of local sentiment, a guess on
the part of the highway officials, or
due to activities. credible or otherwise,
of agents of road building materials
While traffic cenSuses have been con-
ducted in somewhat limited way, it
has never been attempted to do the
work Systematically and completely"

Pedestrians Not Regulated.

"On the other hand, the pedestrian.
as the other important element in traf-
fc, we have not regulated at all. AS
a rule he is not willing to contribute
his share to eliminating the causes OF
accidents. He is tenacious of his right 8
to conduct himself as he pleases on
streets or highways, to cross where he
pleases, to stand where he pleases. to
20 in any direction he pleases at any
time he pleases. And, strange to say,
he is supported in his view by public
opinion, and the old common law. which
recognizes the superior rights of the
individual on the public highways, is
quoted in his defense. Courts and ju-
ries have upheld him and awarded him
heavy damages even when he was
guilty of gross negligence His attitude
Is Hit me II you dare" Whereas the
great majority of motorists do every
thing lin their power to avoid accidents.
the great majority of pedestrians do
not.
I'm all fairness. what right has the
pedestrian to jeopardize with his own
life the life and the liberty of those
operating vehicles under conditions OF
modern necessity that have complete
ly changed the whole question of the
relative rights OF those engaged in
traffic? 1t must not be inferred that
in attempting to regulate and control
the pedestrian it Is to give additional
license to the motorist. Just the op-
posite is the purpose, which first and
last is to avoid accidents.
Il am fully aware that any attempt
in the past to regulate the pedestrian
has promptly called forth sharp criti-
cism from various sources. But in no
other way can the number of acc-
dents resulting in serious injury and
death be reduced to any appreciable
extent"
Evening star., 1917-01-07
Pedestrians Mostly to Blame.

After all. there are just these two i'm
portant elements in traffic-vehicles
and pedestris ns-and both contribute to
accidents. Undisputed records. how
ever, show that in over 50 per cent of
all accidents the fault is that of the
pedestrian and in less than 20 per cent
the blame attaches to the vehicle. This
includes street cars. motor buses and
all forms of street carriers. Limiting
the report to accidents between auto
mobiles and pedestrians. it is stated,
from 81 to SO per cent are the fault of
the pedestrian.
What lessons are we to learn from
these facts? Vehicles-particular mo-
tor vehicles-are now so regulated by
law that any further attempt in that di-
rection would not help matters. Per-
sonally, I am convinced that we have
so much law for the motorist that, to
make him as safe as he can he made as
an element of street traffic, we must get
rid of much OF our present law and
simplify that which remains.

SMITH-WEBB BILL
KILLED IN HOUSE

Washington, March 5.-The Smith
Webb federal judgeship bill was de-
teated in the house yesterday by a
vote of 1872 to 200 Before it went on
its final passage, however, The Con-
stltuion's fight to have it so amend
ed that its language with regard to
district and circuit judges should be
the same, met with signal victory, ev-
cry member of the Georgia delegation
voting for the Bell amendment.
Undoubtedly the outstanding cause
for the defeat of the bill was the dread
on the part of the members Of the
house that it might involve the fed
eral judiciary in politics to an extent
never before proposed in congress.
Another contributing cause to the
defeat of the measure was the state
ment of Judge w, T. Newman, of the
northern vircuit Of Georgia in which
he emphatically denied the statements
that he had endorsed the Smith-Webb
bill, or any bill anything like it.
