Traffic Violations Bureau.

Although universal approval has
been given TO the project of the estab
lishment in Washington OF a traffic
violations bureau. there appears to be
scant hope that action can be obtained
at the fast waning session OF Con
gress. Designed to relieve the Traffic
Court. which even with four judges
working night and day is unable to
keep up with tho amending procession
OF cases. the bureau would operate to
dispense swift. sure and impartial
justice to motorists convicted Of minor
offenses. 1t is estimated that more
than thirty.five thousand cases a year
would be taken care Of in this way If
the bureau were established. and each
Of these cases shifted from the Traf.
fic Court would yield that much relief
to the court.
Both Chicago and Detroit operate
similar bureaus. The procedure Is
simple. A motorist Is tagged for a
minor violation. He has the option
of paying a stated fine at the bureau
without trial or he may elect to stand
trial in court. There Is no possible
way for him to evade appearing before
either the bureau or the court. A du-
plicate of the ticket in the policeman's
notebook Is turned in Immediately to
the department. which provides a
thorough check.up.
In Detroit the benefits are strik-
ingly illustrated by the police records.
which show that while there were
5000 arrests last August for parking
violations the number dropped to un.
der 5000 with the establishment Of
the bureau. One policeman arrested
467 and this officer was required to
appear in court only seven times.
Congress, despite the rush Of the
short session. should give attention
to this desirable project for the Ma
tional Capital. It is patent that its
operation here would work manifold
benefits. There would be no more
talking your way out Of an arrest"
There would be appreciably less court
congestion and the courts would in
this way be enabled to deal with the
grave cases Of violation. Justice would
be impartial and certain. and the same
reduction In the number Of violations
as Detroit has experienced would prob
ably be noted.
Care must be used. Of course, in the
selection OF offenses to be treated by
the bureau. No major violations
should be allowed to slip in to be dealt
with in such a wholesale manner.
Parking, light, turning and minor
cases of speed attractions could easily
bs handled to the satisfaction of both
the motorist and the District. but
major offenders should get the full
dose Of justice in the courts.
The cost OF the bureau in Washing
ton is estimated to be approximately
$4,000 a year. In comparison with
other means of enforcement this is a
trivial sum. Congress should most
assuredly give consideration to a prof.
ect that has met with hearty approval
on the part OF the Commissioners.
traffic officials and the citizens of
Washington.
