Convictions Set Mark
In Traffic Fatalities

Iraftlc officials are pleased with
the record number of convictions
in cases Of negligent homicide in
District courts and believe they will
have a good effect in reducing the
number of deaths caused by auto
mobile accidents.
In announcing II convictions out
Of total of 10 negligent homicide
cases, Inspector Arthur E. Miller,
In charge of the traffic division of
the Police Department said:
This is the greatest number of
convictions we have ever had under
the negligent homicide law. A great
deal Of the credit should go to the
judges, prosecutors and juries. The
number of convictions should serve
to warn drivers to abide by the
regulations, control their speed and
refrain from drinking while driv-
ing"
Traffic Director George E. Keneipp
also expressed qualification by the
number of convictions.
The law was originally enacted
to close the gap between cases of
reckless driving and manslaughter," ,"
he said. "a great many fatal traf-
f1c accidents occurred where it was
impossible legally to charge the
drivers involved correctly. The
present large number of convictions
In these cases enhance the law S
value as an accident preventative
by ruling off the road the viciously
reckless driver"
Mrs. Mary A. Silver, chairman of
the Board of Revocation and Resto-
ration of Operators Permits, said:
Without convictions in cases of
negligent homicide. the board is
htndered in it's efforts to suspend
or revoke the operating privileges
OF unsafe drivers. The increase is

81. 900, 600 INCOME
TAXPAYERS IN u. s.

The Federal income tax,
which. began in 1913, will
be paid this year in varying
amounts by $1,000, 900. resi-
dents Of this country. This
il a tremendous increase in
the number of returns and
compares with 100000 in
1898.
One of the biggest jobs in
connection with income tax
is. the auditing of returns.
The Government has three
years in which to check
personal income tax d a t a
and it requires a consider
able number Of auditors to
handle this phase of the
Treasury Departments task.
We call attention to the
magnitude of the undertake
ing because Congress seems
determined to cut the funds
of the Treasury Department
and Of the Department of
Internal Revenue and to
force a reduction in the
number of auditors employ
ed. To understand the mag
nitude of the effort to find
out whether proper amounts
have been paid, the figures
show that it would take T.
600 auditors a full year if
each auditor checked 155
returns q day.
While It is obvious that all
tax returns cannot be au-
dited. It is very important
for every taxpayer to know
that many Of them will be
checked. II will tend TO.
produce more accurate re-
turns and a more equitable
payment of the tax by all
citizens.
