ATLANTA, November 14.—Eleven | Bouthern States reported decided im- Pprovement yesterday in financial con- ditions and foresaw increased revenues Zor 1936. Fiscal authorities from Virginia to fexas said there were few changes in tax rates, but that the usual sources yielded greater returns. 7 Kentucky’'s 3 per cent sales tax amed about $10,000,000 during the st fiscal year. The State's total reve- Bue, including Federal funds, was $43,- 421,680 in 1934-5, compared to $35,- §84.650 in 1933-4. > Virginia's big gain in revenue came Wwith State-controlled liquor sales.

Offenses Listed. According to Weis' suggestion, it shall be mandatory upon the court to note the following violations on the license of any operator who has been found guilty of any of the following offenses: Disobeying signal lights, reckless driving, reckless speeding, creating traffic hazards by improper | parking as, for instance, parking too close to street corners, thereby ob- structing the view, or parking in front of hydrants. Weis recommends to have these vio- lations printed on the back of the driver's license so that the clerk of reckless speed. highway. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

If the clerk notices more than a certain given number of violations for a given period of time, it can be made incumbent on him to request the Bureau of Licenses to con- fiscate the license and issue a show | cause order why the same should not be suspended or revoked altogether. Such a device, according to the opin- | fon of Weis, will not only be the most ' efficient manner to plug up a leak whereby habitual traffic violators es- cape only too often with a slight monetary fine, but progressive pen- alties can be inflicted more easily thereby. Adopted by Some States. In his letter, Weis further pointed out to the committee that similar systems are now successfully in use in California and some of the other States here, as well as in Europe, and that its adoption by the New York State authorities would be a great step | forward in bringing about greater safety on highways and streets, there- by helping to reduce the appalling number of accidents. Moreover, the example of this step would undoubt- edly be followed soon by other States, | thus enabling a proper supervision of chronic traffic offenders within the State, or coming in from some other State, in which manner uniform con- trol of such violators can be achieved throughout the States. Known in the traffic world as one of the pioneers in motor bus service, Weis has visited most of the civil- ized countries, making an extensive study of traffic regulations. He is a member of the Advisory Board of the Accident Prevention Bureau for Automobilists and Pedestrians, a non- profit, co-operative and educational institution promoting safety on high- ways and streets and in garages. He has been instrumental in sponsoring a ' number of safety regulations in the interest of the public, among which | are the compulsory periodical bus in- spection and other laws which pen.ainf to safety and adopted in the State of | New York and elsewhere.
