VAN DUzER: :LAUDS
SAFETY CAMPAIGN.
Tells Sales Representatives
Every Motorist Should Sign
and Uphold Pledge.

Declaring that the safety campaign
of The Star has grown beyond the
scope Of q drive by q single organiza-
ton and has assumed the status Of
civic movement, in which every resi-
dent Of Washington should have a
vital interest, William A. Van Duzer,
director of motor vehicles and trafiic,
told members of the Washington Sales
Representatives Association at a
luncheon meeting yesterday in the
La Fayette Hotel that he hopes every
motorist will sign the safe-driving
pledge and live up to 1t.
The association, composed OF rep
resentatives Of about 90 Washington
business concerns. went on record in
favor Of the campaign and individual
members signed pledge cards at yes
terday's luncheon.
This campaign" MIR. Van Duzer
told the association, sis q cooperative
effort to do away with street and high
way accidents. Washington Is big
city, so far as traffic is concerned. We
are very much in need of an increased
police force to handle traffic here. In
the absence of this increased force 1t
becomes doubly the responsibility Of
the individual motorist and pedestrian
to drive and walk safely and to see to
1t that he takes no chances"
Penalty to Pedestrians.
Van Duzer said that Washington so
far this year has had only one
pedestrian killed while crossing a
street with a green traffic light, but
that four have been killed while walk
ing against the red.
Since about 80 per cent Of our
pedestrians do walk with the green
and only about 10 per cent try to
cross against the red" Van Duzer
said, "it is easy to see that the penalty
for walking against the signals is
enormously heavy in comparison with
safe walking"
The pedestrian trafic death rate in
cities throughout the Nation, Van
Duzer said, averages 81 per cent Of
all trafic deaths. The Washington
average is IS per cent-slightly less
than the average for the Nation as a
whole, he pointed out Los Angeles,
with an extensive system of pedestrian
underpasses, has had a pedestrian
death rate of So per cent.
Requests have been made for a
pedestrian light. by increasing the
length Of the yellow to 20 or IS sec
onds," Van Duzer said. This system
has been tried in about 20 cities. 1t
was found that it delayed vehicular
traffic to such an extent that it had to
be abandoned. The streets can't carry

 It would be easy to draw hasty con- clusions from all of this, with no facts to support them.
 For one thing, the degree to which all business, big and little, is against the President has not been estab- lished. The Democrats contend that they will have much business and banking support next year, particu- larly from communities largely de- pendent on agriculture.
 Another thing to be borne in mind is that the mere existence of import ant financial backing for the Re- publicans does not prove that the election is. to be bought or that any illegal or immoral methods are so be indulged in The legitimate expenses of a national campaign are tremendous, and both parties spend plenty of money when they have 1t.
