UNIFORM RULING
NEEDED To HALT
AUTO ACCIDENTS
New York Officer Makes a
Few Suggestions as to
How Traffic Should Be
Handled Now.
EDUCATION NEEDED
FOR ALL DRIVERS
Efficient Courts to Enforce
Laws Is First Requisites,
he Points Out.

BROOKLYN, n. Y.-Uniform traffic
laws for the United States and Canada
subject to minor local notification
are one Of the big necessities for check
ing the growing menace Of the automo-
bile accident toll.
This is the view Of Deputy Inspector
John w. OConnor Of the New York po-
lice department, who resigned as pres
ident of the International Traffic Offic-
ers' Association.
The automobile has brought into
practice interstate. intercity and even
international touring" says O'Connor.
"As a result OF conflicting laws in near
ly every state and city they visit. these
tourists are often innocenuy involved
in serious accidents. They drive accord
ing TO the regulations VI their home
state-and find out too late that these
rules do not apply in other localities.
Rules Of the road, regulations ON
passing vehicles. street cars and SINH
lar general regulations could be stan
dardi2ed and should be. in the interests
VI safety."
Inspector O'Connor sees in education
for both motorist and pedestrian In
safety principles and practices US the
first rule To be followed In any cam
paign to reduce accidents.
FavOrs Education
Part Of the solution Of the traffic
problem" he explains. rests in con
else. simple and just regulations; in pub
lcity Of these regulations and in strict
enforcement Of the law.
"The education Of drivers and pedes-
trians is the first and most important
step. II this principle Is followed, the
work Of the police will he that Of promp-
ters and assistants rather than enforc-
ers.
once the drivers and pedestrians
know their rights. they will become
their own regulators, as they VIII re-
sent the infraction OF the constantly
diminishing proportion OF people who
try to override the rights OF others"
Suggests Remedies
Besides this advice O'Connor has for
nulated the following remedies for traf'
fic control:
j. Uniform traffic laws and display
signs throughout the United States and
Canada, subject to minor local modifica-
tions.
9. Jail sentences for second offend
ers ..inst speed and other safety resu'
l2tlons.
J. Rigid examinations throughout
the United States of all drivers. both

and their competence 40 motor vehicle

8. Establishment VI citizens COM
