Two Thousand
Signatures Put
to Statute Plea

The Women's Relief Corps reported
today that two thousand signatures
have been secured on petitions to
county commissioners for the erection
of a statue to Oliver P. Morton in the
northeast corner Of the court house
yard.
1t is the plan Of the organization to
present the petitions with the neces-
sary percentage OF voters signatures
before women vote in the October
election. This will save much COM
plication.
The Relief Corps will take advan-
tage Of the new system Of registration
in getting signatures. Since all per.
sons who vote at the constitutional
convention delegate election must
register at the county clerks office at
least twerty-nine days before the cleo
ton, petitions will be placed near the
place Of registration. In this way, ev
cry voter will have an opportunity tc
sign the petition without going out Of
his way
In the near future, the organization
will consider the advisability OF keep
ing some person near the petition te
call attention to 1t.

Here is little story concerning the
Sage of Richmond or at least that
is the title he is known by around au-
tomobile row in Indianapolis. Fer
haps down in Richmond he is just COM
mon J. Morris Jones' But not SO IN
Indianapolis, for of all the men on the
row, that know and like j. Morris
Jones, he is just "Jonsey" or the sage
of Richmond"
When everybody was swarrning the
William Small company headquarters
and betnoaning their fate at not being
able to get automobiles because OF the
railroad car shortages. ]. Morris came
to the Hoosier Capitol and took In
shows. He refused to worry over such
things as car shortages.
Here is the way Jones sized up the
situation. "a shortage Of freight cars
has really proved stimulant to the
motor car business, said Jones. The
situation has caused a great deal OF
confusion and worked hardships on
manufacturers, dealers and users alike
on account Of the inability to secure
enough cars to transport the finished
automobile to distributing points
But eventually, continued Jones to
a gang Of indianapolis newspaper men,
1.-THE whole situation will be turned in

| necessity Of the automobile been so

freight shortage. We have heard for
years about the automobile as lux.

tor vehicle as a necessity has ever de.
veloped. In every section OF the Unit
ed States there is serious shortage
of motor cars due to the inability OF
! the railroads to handle the motor pro
ducts. The freight car shortage has
effected every line Of industy and mo
tor vehicles have been employed IN un
heard of fields to take the place Of
the usual railroad transportation. The
motor car has been tested in this situa
