What is needed in the state and
the Nation is not a revision of this
or that or a change in the con-
stitution or any other corrective
movement, but a determination to
elect men of experience ad honest

years should ever be elected to

one cause for accidents. Haste, liquor, ignorance, contempt for or
disregard of traffic regulations, defects of mind and body, defects
of the highway and of the vehicle, all play their pert. There is no
one remedy for these causes. They can be eliminated by the applica-
tion of three tried and proven remedies: Engineering Education— |
Enforcement, together with public support of those agencies normally
regulations, which the public can more easily understand, and to
w hich it will be easier to conform.
Enforcement is vitally necessary to serve as a disciplinary measure
for those who will not, voluntarily, abide by the standards of good
driving, and at the same time build up strong public sentiment to the
effect that driving is a full-time job not to be carelessly slighted
in traffic.
Education, the third essential, see ks to inform the motorist and
pedestrian of traffic ne gulations, picturing everyday tragedies so wise
ones will avoid them. It seeks to enlist public support and voluntary
observance of engineering and enforcement measures There is noth-
ing spectacular about the traffic safety movement. It involves
a lot of hard work. It cannot be solved overnight.
Adult drivers must be educated in safety principles. Youthful
drivers-to-be should learn in the schoolroom of the seriousness of
this problem. They should be taugh how to meet it. There is a grow-
ing realization over Texas that this method is one of the most potent
means of attacking the task of cutting down tile number of automobile
accidents. Definitely, the public schools of Texas can do valuable
work in this connection. They will not only learn safe driving
principles themselves, but will also carry that knowledge to adults in
their homes.
There is a crying need at this time for our Legislature to amend
our present Driver’s License Law and bring it up to the uniform
standard. The three fundamental amendments are: I To give au-
thority to the Department of Public Safety to suspend or revoke a
license (this does not nullify the privilege of appealing the case for
a jury trial): 2 To issue the licenses through the State Highway |
Patrol; 3- To provide for examination of new drivers. In addition
there should be a nominal fee to provide sufficent funds for the
successful administration of the act and provide more State High-
way partolmen for greater traffic control and law enforce ment.
I be uniform Driver's License Law is not an untried theory A
total of approximately 21 States now has standard license laws. in
no case has such a law been repealed or even weakened. A success-
ful and effective Driver ' License Law, so far as control of unsafe
necessary for the motoring
„ - are for employes in industry and
business. This particular phase of traffic control is the first step
which should be taken. '
Illis serious situation is a challenge to the usefulness of every
good citizen of this State to reflect his views to his representatives
in the State Legislature. It is a challenge to him to regulate the
driving practices of his employers; to improve the knowledg of the
members of his family on traffic laws; to exert his influence for
better traffic control in his community and above all, to set a correct
example by adopting safe habits of driving and walking.
