' ' TK'AFITC; A MAJOR PROBLEM figures just issued by an insurance company show the rcrious nature of the annual increase in automobile traffic fatalities. Traffic deaths in the i2 stiles covered by the report increased 8.40 xv cent last year, reachino- a total of 21,716. I This increase, it is worth noting, was a greater propor tionate increase than the increase in motor cars or in 'na tional population. In other wordsat tho present lute the number of fatal accidents each year would ri.se even if the number of automobile drivers did not increase. As driver:!, we are getting worse instead of better. :' These figures are rather appalling. In the very near fu ture, the country will lfave lo take some kind of drastic ac tion to reduce the auto's toll. " j ' It will take long study by exports to find the solution. A .number of schemes have been suggested.' It has boon pro-1 posed, for instance, that a law be passed compelling ;.ll auto manufacturers to limit the speed of their cars to 2" miles I in hinn'. City planning commissions .have devised l.ivotiu' for towns and wauls in which a pedestrian, in the ordinary course of his business, wouM not need to cross any through .street. Others have lecommcntlcd a very stiict i-ystcm of drivers' licenses, with mandatory jakj sentence;! for all traf fic law violations, and revocation or licenses for nil driver:; who figure in accidents. These proposals are probably impractical, t: t sure. It' would be rather nbsuid to make it impossible to .hive faster than 25 miles un hour, particulaily so since men- speed in itself is by no means always dangerous. To redesign al! of our cities and towns woultlybe too expensive even tu dream of. The drivers' license system is more promising; and it is worth noting that Massachusetts, one of the states wlieie a strict system of licensing .occurs, reduced its accident total List year. Sooner or later, something i.ulic.d will have to be done. We f-tinot go on foievcr with our unit. mobiles killing more than o,oou pcopie a year, l.vcnmall.v we will have leah.w that mis is one oi me major problems of our day. All All!-.. l ection.
