Presuming Them to Be Intelligent An American city recently be came aroused over the death and disability list daily caused thra auto aceldents, so the chief of po- lice ordered the strictest enforce- ment of all the traffic laws. Seven thousand citizens were arrested in a single day; more than $55,000 was collected in fines. Nor was it a mere spasm. Day after day, and night after night, the hunt was carried on. There was perfect co- operation from the judges, and seores were sent to jail for even minor infractions of the speed rules. Two weeks after the crusade started the list of reported auto- mobile accidents had INCREASED about 100 per cent, and the list of maimed and dying 50 per cent! Any psychoanalyst would have informed the police that when- ever a drive was made so that the most petty, Incidental, acct- dental trivialities were punished as were the serious, meditated, deadly offenses, there would arise a frenzy, a confusion, loss of poise among ALL the autoists un- til the sanest, most careful driver would doubt what to do next every corner he approached. The more you harry and hunt the 98 per cent of the auto drivers the more accidents you'll have. Realizing some of this England has abolished ALL. speed laws, both in town and country. “Do as you please, but you jolly well better look out,” says England. Over there they jail them when they have a fatal accident.
