The whole motor-car industry decries the number of persons killed in automobile" accidents. Everyone in it looks askance at that too often repeated excuse, "the child rah out between two other cars in front of me and I could not stop," without a most rigid investigation of why that car could not be stopped. When a traffic accident occurs now we demand to see the driver's license. We should ask to - se a permit for-the car to be operated ona city street. - -V r ' . 'v- ' Lacking such a permit, periodic ally renewed, a car should be im pounded as should any car not equipped to be operated: safely- un til an. adequate inspection by ex perts showed It to have been so repaired as to make it safe. No "bad order" Automobile should be permitted, on any city street, or countryr highway. Rid the, streets . of these unsafe cars and unsafe 'drivers and present ar bitrary sDeed laws can be removed I a lone sten toward the solution of the traffic problem. All speed cops, all the safety drives and: all the safety talks would be as nothing in the saving of some ot the 24,000 lives a year lost through automobile accidents, compared to, the removal from the streets of potential death-dealing cars; and drivers.
