New Law stirs Jitney Men.

Advices from many Wisconsin cit
les indicate that the effect of the new
state law regulating the jitney serv-
ice will have varied effect upon that
line of business. In some places the
result has been to put the nickel bus
entirely out Of existence, while in 9TH
ers the law is asserted to have worked
a benefit in reducing competition and
inducing operators to observe greater
precautions.
The provision which requires bond
of $4,000 has proven such a handicap
in some cities as to cause the opera
tors to discontinue. In others the jit-
neurs have simply increased their
charges and continue to reap a har-
vest. Still other cities report in
stallation of service buses" to replace
the jitneys, with a minimum charge
of % cents.
All reports, however, indicate a
cheerful willingness on the part of the
operators to observe the provisions of
the new law in detail.
Cars used for livery and special
service, such as carrying passengers
from railroad stations to different
places in a city, from city to city, to
fair grounds, picnic grounds and sim
liar places, do not come within the
law, according to an opinion by the
attorney general of the state.

DEMOCRATS PLANNING BIG BATTLE TO PASS
 SHIP PURCHASE BILL

 resunnr,tion of the light over the ad- 3a11aat1ltstration ship purchase bill.

 me action of the Democrats in the Senate deciding to make the shipping tSbIu a party measure and to push it lahead of all other legislation indicates
 that the Senate will be the scene of sone of the hardest fought contests witnessed at the capitol for some time. The Repubiicans are not any more pleased with the bfu as amended by i4he Democratic caucus than they were

just as determined as ever to continue the fight against it.
 On the other hand, the Democrats are equally determined to keep the bill constantly before the Sehate, re- gard1ess of the fate of the big supply measures and the possibility Of an ex- tra session after March 4.
 The Democratic leaders, however, are now counting on the passage of the bill before many weeks and hope to have the support of some of the progressive Republicans who are in clined to view the measure with more favor than heretofore

 Daily transactions at the Stock Elk change last week reached the largest totals since the resumption of bus mess after the war-crisis suspension. The course of the bond market has indicated that real investment ab- the rise in prices. Bond specialists agree that there is a relatively in- creasing proportion of purchases of longtime issues compared with pur- chases of short-term obligations. These latter are preferred in troub- 1ous times, for then investors like to keep their money where it will be available at early dates. The inereas- ed business in long term bonds is an indication of returning. confidence, when owners of surplus capital seek more permanent forms of inVeStm ment. The leaders of the stock market in the main are the standard railroad shares, the whole transportation sit uation having been improved by the more favorable public and official sentiment toward the roads. while the ease in money rates will facilitate if naneing by the companies. Despite the low prices to which Stock Ex- change seats fell when trading was suspended, only eight memberships were sold, and the prospect of a grad uaI return to old-time activity en- courages the belief that seats will go back to the valuations of former per iods, when as high a price as $96, 900 was paid for one, in 1909.
 It is believed that professional short selling is increasing in the stock market, a. circumstance that tends to restablish normal conditions of speculation. The constructive side of the situation appeals the stronger to our judgment and while natural reactions will occur at times we be- Iieve that the tendency is to i'm l6 tba anf iS gradual and moderate it will all the more be likely to hold perman ence
