How to Cut Down Accidents,

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
notice that you are interested in
cutting down the number Of auto
mobile accidents.
You may have this suggestion.
which, II carried out. I am convinced
would cut down such accidents 80
per cent in the course of q year or
two. Here It is:
l. License drivers and auto ve-
hicles and owners.
2. Require police courts or courts
having original Jurisdiction Of such
cases to decide and determine at the
application Of a police officer or q
citizen the responsibility for all
motor-vehicls accidents.
II but one motor vehicle II in
-olved. make the fact of the accident
prima-facie evidence Of negligence
on the part of the driver and tho
owner.
II two or more motor vehicles. are
involved and the court cannot hx
the responsibility for the accident,
then apply the penalties to all
drivers and all owners of vehicles
involved in the accident.
Make the punishment. in addition
to or in lieu of other punishment. q
suspension of the drivers license for
the first offense for a period rang
ing from sixty days to six monthA
Multiply this penalty by three for
the next offense. being the next ao-
cident for which the driver is re-
sponsible within tho District, and
increase It in like geometrical pro-
gressIon for additional offenses.
Likewise suspend the license Of
the car and OF the owner Of the car
in question for like periods. Make
the owner cartful as to the hands In
which he shall place such. a danger
Gus weapon. Fix It SO that no
minor of the owners family or q
husband or wife can get the license
during the period of suspension. In
crease this suspension progressively
for owners as for drivers. Where an
owner has many vehicles let the sus-
pension apply to the vehicle in the
accident, cutting down his license
by one each TINT.
Keep courts and licensing bureaus
IN touch, SO that they can enforce
this plan.
II enforced it will out down acci-
dents by at least half. It should be
applied in addition to other regula-
tions.
If The Herald is willing to advo-
cate this plan in a two-fisted man.
er It can be put over.

JURY POSITION

Mrs. Julia p. Dowd,, the first WON.
an to serve on a Hood River county
jury, declared that she had never beer
a suffragette and that she never, as a
matter of principle, believed in WON
ems participation in affairs of politics
and government administration.
But since women have been grant
ed the ballot and do so participate"
said Mrs. Dowd, following her fore
manship on jury, IL believe they
should not shirk the responsibility.
When first heard that | had been
drawn on the Jury list | decided that |
would utilize the option given me un-
der the new jury law and decline ser
vice. On further deliberation | deter
mined that would serve. | believe
the new law is wrong in that it does
not obligate women to serve just as it
does men. Since women enjoy equal
rights of franchise with men they
should also be required to participate
in the duties such active citizenship
requires.
Mrs. Dowd, wife of Col. W. s. Dowd,
when asked where her residence had
been before coming to Hood River
county, stated that it had been in vari-
GUS parts of the United States and

CITY HALL WANTED
FOR COURT ROOM

Agitation has been started to have
the county lease the assembly room of
the city hall as a meeting place for the
circuit court when jury trials are in
progress. Ii is estimated that the
quarters will not be needed more than
80 days annually. The assembly room
is now used two nights each month for
meetings of the city council. 1t is a
magnificently finished room. paneling
and furniture in mahogany.
The recent session of circuit court,
with the new jury law providing for
the optional service of women, demon
strated that the old antedated school
building now used as a courthouse is
entirely inadequate. Prospects for a
bond issue for a new court house are
declared remote.
