. A spirit of understanding
between auto drivers, police
and the general public must
be fostered to attain cooper
alton. There must be city
wide education and under
standing toward a definite
end-and then there must be
rigid enforcement of the traf-
fic code.
This Is the opinion of Police
Lieut.. G. O. Carr. in charge of Sc
attle's 20 corner men and L.
mounted police.
Carr knows that traffic condi-
tions in Seattle are not being han
died efficiently. He spent last
summer touring the big cities OF
the country. and spending days at
a time learning just how the spe-
cisiists have worked out traffic
regulation in each city.
when try TO explain what's
wrong In Seattle and what we
ought TO do says Lieut.. Carr,
I'm apt TO be told that this is not
New York. or Detroit, or Clcve-
land. But this is Seattle. fast
growing city. and no longer
small town. We've got 10 straight
en- out the situation and cope with
the problem right Every growing
city, sooner or later. has to go thru
a year or two OF suffering. Then
someone wakes the city up. and the
proper remedies are applied"
Carr says that in every city OF
400 900 or more In America the
traffic division Is rated second In

department.

that Il is even more important TO
prevent waste OF human life than IL
Is to go after somebody who has al
ready killed a human being"
The largest cities have traffic divi-
sions that are up to snuff, where
solving Of traffic problems has be-
IL
has been found for every traffic all
ment.
"And they have all concluded. in
Eastern cities. that the only way to
handle traffic is thru traffic divi-
sion," he says.
Traffic experts tell me IL Is ride
ulous to think we can do anything
under our present system
Carr declares:
Forty per cent Of the traffic
law offenders never even appear
at police headquarters under
Seattle's present system. and no
effort Is made 10 bring them In

tagged them.
Registration OF drivers, and
the keeping 81 record Of each
driver, has been abandoned In
seattle.
There are dozen different
ways Of wiggling out Of paying
the penalty by an offender after
ne has been tagged for violation
of the traffic code.
There Is no one authorized
head, or any definite program.

among motor vehicle drivers.

IA DEL PUEBLO

Hace cerca de dos meses, cuando la
grita contra los especuladores era
mas ensordecedora, los habitantes de
una ciudad de "a costa de occidente
recibieron n gran sorpresa.
Los vecinos de dicha ~poblacion acu-
saban a cada comerciante de ser un
ex~plotador despiadado, que aumenta-
ba los p~recios de los articulos de prl-
mera necesidad sin motive alguno,
como no fuera ell de obtener ganan-
cias enormes.
Debe tenerse en- cuenta que en- a.
quella poblacion abundan los conner

ilimitada, por 10 que ningun conner

hicieron para defenderse de la acu-
sacion que lanzaba sobre ellos el pu-

La sorpresa que Ell publico reclblo
fue Ia publication de IN arlso, de
una pagina entera, en- todos les diarlos

de los concentrates de la ciudad, en-
ell que Sc decia que los rumores que

eran insulrantes para elloS, slno que
