a degree as is possible. Prosecute
ing officers, judges, the Motor We
hicle Commissioner and all 9TH
ers who deal directly with the
subject matter in an ofilcial way
must in the first place do their
full duty regardless Of who may
be affected.
Wealth, social standing or polit-
ical influence possessed by a vio-
lator Of the law should never
: serve to make the treatment Of
his case any different from that
Of one without friends, money or
influence.
All must stand on the same lev
ell and be dealt with on the basis
Of doing justice, insofar as that
be possible, whether 1t be in the
matter of trial, sentence, the TAX
ing away of violator's right to
drive, or in any other realm Of
official action.
To as great an extent as posi-
BILE 1t must be brought home to
every person who drives a motor
vehicle upon our highways that 1t
Is a very worth while privilege
which he enjoys in being able to
so drive, but that such privilege
carries with 1t a corresponding
responsibility on his part to so
exercise this privilege that he,
through his fault, will not be the
cause of injury to property or
person.
OF course there are those who
are completely selfish, care Moth
ing about the rights Of others,
and cannot be reached by any ill-
fiuence, but we are thankful that
such are in the minority and
when the time comes that all in
telligent and well intentioned
drivers of motor vehicles recog-
nize and meet their responsible
tiles In this field and all officials
recognize and meet both their Of
fetal and individual responsible
tiles in this same field, our high
ways will be as safe as they can
be made.
Judge Ellis
A trial judge spends his days
listening to vivid, heartrending
stories OF fine human beings
manned and disflgured through
easily avoidable collisions-and
he is fortunate II his nights are
not filled with vicarious suffer-
ing.
An astonishing number of these
collisions occur at street intersec-
lions. Mr.. Justice Cardozo has
we'll said 1.-THE supreme rule Of
the road Is the rule Of mutual
forbearance." This Is especially
true Of intersection cases. En-
forcement of this rule would do
away with all such collisions.
Most of them occur at unpost-
ed intersections: many OF them
at points where there are stop
and 60 lights; a few Of them
at places guarded by stop signs:
in q long experience with cases
/ have never had one occurring
at a Rotaryl
The significance Of this is that
a rotary is an automatic enforce
ment Of the rule Of mutual for
bearance. A multitude Of drivers
try to beat the light; few forget
the stop signs; when you APP
proach a rotary, you just must
forbear.
The use of rotaries and stop
signs Is cutting down collisions
materially. It will be easy. and
helpful. to increase them-espe-
