Judge Takes First Drastic Action in
Stars Campaign to Cut Down the
Traffic Tragedy of Seattle

Police Judge John B. Gordon Is the
man who Saturday put the first real
action into The Stars campaign to
cut down the deaths and injuries in
Seattle's traffic tragedy.
Announcing that, henceforth. men
who were convicted in his court OF
driving while drunk. would be sub
jected TO far more drastic sentences,
Judge Gordon also announced:
THAT police had been requested
to book these men. in the future,
under the state law, which in addi'
ton to providing heavy fine and 30
days in Jail. gives the Judge an OPP
portunity TO revoke the drivers IL
cense for q term of from 90 days to
q year.
2--That he will so before the state
legislature at its next session and
request bin giving to his and other
city courts the right to revoke driv.
ers' licenses. provided for now only
in the state law.
The state law concerning forfeit
ure OF licenses Is mandatory.
Judge Gordon's announcement IS
expected to have n marked effect in
cutting down Immediately the mum.
Der OF drunken drivers arrested. This
number has been increasing rapidly
of late, and deaths and injuries un-
der the wheels of their cars have
increased as well.
Fines and even Jail terms for the
drivers are easier to contemplate

Gated that Judge Gordon sent along
his request for bookings under the
state law.
Up to the present the Judge has
been lenient with the motorists who
have been brought before him. Small
fines. and often warnings and the
dismissal of charges. together with
the practice OF allowing the motorist
TO forfeit his bail and not appear for
trial in many Of the cases, has in.
creased disrespect for the law in Sc.

But the new method should COM
mand respect. The state law pro-
yides $3.50 fine. 90 days In Jail and
says that the judge shall require
the defendant to surrender his oper-
ator's license forthwith and shall sus-
pend such license for not less than
three months and not more than
