DRIVER PERMITS
CUT DEATH TOLLS
Stringent License Restric-
tionS Gain in PubIiC'S
Favor.

Stringent restrictions around the
licensing of motor vehicle operators be-
lfore allowing them to use the highways
have gone far in reducing the toll of
deaths from accidents, and public SEN
timent seems to be overwhelming for
barring the reckless driver from the
right to operate car.
This statement was issued today by
national headquarters of the American
automobile Association, on the basis of
the experience of the 90 States and the
District of Columbia now requiring
that motor vehicle operators be licensed.
The national motoring body, which
has consistently advocated the Nation
wide adoption of drivers license laws as
a means of curbing the gigantic num-
Der of deaths and injuries on the
streets and highways, pointed out that
the experience of the States having
such laws no longer leaves a debatable
point as to the wisdom of such a pro-
gram.
Total Still Challenges.
while it is true that the toll of
deaths and injuries still remains a
challenge to the Nation as one of the
most serious problems of the day." says
Thomas P. Henry, president of the
A. A. A., ''it also is true that the
licensing of drivers has proven one os
the most effective means yet advanced
as remedy. 1t is the basis of the
safety-responsibility law proposed by
the American Automobile Association,
which is finding favor throughout the
country, and has already been enacted
as a whole into the statutes of New
York, with substantial parts adopted in
New Jersey. Rhode Island. Connecticut,
California Iowa, Maine, North Dakota,
Wisconsin and Vermont.
States now having drivers license
laws, where an examination of drivers
is required, are: Arizona, California,
Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,

zone of the most hopeful signs in the
never-ending campaign for safety on
the streets and highways is that the
experience Of these States has more
than justified the wisdom of the drivers
license law. Moreover, there is almost
Nationwide agitation for such pro-
gram in the States without legislative
provision for regulating motor vehicle
operators.
Another important indication of the
success of this procedure is the attl-
tude of the public toward the revoking
or SuSpending of the license of any
operator adjudged guilty OF criminal
negligence in driving. In most in
stances it is usually for either: man.
slaughter in operation of motor We
hicle; driving while under the influence
Of liquor or drugs; perjury in connec-
ZION WIN tne motor venice laws, con-
viction of reckless driving three times
in year; failure to stop after an ac-
cident, or any other felony in which a
motor vehicle was used.
Through the A. A. A. safety-respon-
sibility law it is proposed to go a step
beyond suspending the licenses of the
criminal minority. 1t provides that in
every instance of this kind the SuSpan-
sion should remain in force until The
guilty party has established proof of his
financial responsibility against possible
future injury TO persons or property"

GAS TAX VALUE
WILL Be SHOWN
Illinois to Give Demonstration
in Vicinity of Crowded
Chicago.

What the gas tax can do will be fully
demonstrated in the near future in the
Chlcago metropolitan area, according to
E. F. Duffy, highway educational writer
A criticism OF the gas tax has been
that residents of large cities, where the
most motoring is done, contribute the
largest portion to State highway income,
and that in return the cities receive
little more than do remote rural COM
munitieS.
Chicago to Be Freed.
Although that criticism is frequently
a misconception, Illinois has recognized
the claims of the city motorist to the
extent that trifie less than S22 900 600
of the State gas tax income for the next
two years will be spent on highways In
the immediate vicinity OF Chicago.
This will mean that Battle-Ground
Chicago, wherein there is very little Of
this thing called motoring comfort, will
be freed of>costly irritating traffic con-
gestion.
In addition to the extensive State
program, Cook County, in which Chi
cago IS located, will receive no less than
100000 as its share of the annual
apportionment to counties This sum is
to be devoted to the improvement of
main highways.
Illinois Position Unusual.
Illinois is now in a position to lend
his assistance, for the simple reason
TAT the State highway system is per-
pS nearer perfection than most of the
Ter States. State bond issue funds
aling $160,000,000 have been wisely
)lied, and now Illinois has nearly
10 miles Of concrete rural roads in
vice.
Chicago is typical of all the motor
.dden cities of the land With conges-
.on as bad there as any place, the sue
cess that Chicago will have through one
of the greatest highway programs the
world has known may cause the motor
list to feel that, after all, there Is a soIu-
ton to the traffic problem.

1t was natural that the roadside mar
