OF what Is happening In this phase
With 4S buses available, and III rounfl

the function Immediately is brought
home. The same holds true, of course
IN varying degree on other lines and
at other points.
The impression gained from a de.

rapidly are being overcome. Operators
themselves have had to learn from
experience, and as the bus deveIoped
and as demand left its inchoate state
systems have grown up or have con.
tracted in consonance with local con-
dltions and circumstances. A year
ago much less was known than Is
known today. and as a result the
picture Is one Of greater stabiliza ton.
There is. so TO speak, more of the
routine atmosphere now than there
was at that time. Then it was in the
fun flush of early enthusiasm-of
which the operation of the additional
longer lines was an outcropping-now
1t has settled into the steady. regular.
untiring service which is the mark
of the seasoned veteran.
With the National Capital now the
center OF a network Of interurban lines
performing worthy service in the
transportation of passengers between
this city and outlying points. the out.
look, based upon past experience and
present conditions, is for the still more
intensive development of existing lines
as consumer demand gradually ex-
pands. Continually improved inter.
urban bus service where there is a
reasonably steady and a fairly sizable
volume of traffic very definitely seems
to be the promise of the future.

put down at about three hours and
ten minutes.
That which appeals most TO the oh.
server of recent local interurban bus
developments is that the motor bus
as common carrier gradually but
surely is settling into it's rightful place
III the transportation scheme of
Things. Experience is proving'in very
definite fashion its native peculiarities.
Its limitations, and it's capabilities.
Happenings in this field have
proved equally wrong those who
claimed the bus a panacea and those
who derided it as useless.
Developments of the past year es-
peCially have shown that which
should have been apparent at the
outset, and that is that in its own
sphere the interurban bus occupies n
uniquely important, strategic and
helpful position, but that it's sphere
cannot hope to cover the whole field
OF interurban transit.
For the reason. the trend away
from long hauls and toward the more
intensive development of the short.
run lines has been perfectly logical.
The motor truck, hauling freight in
stead of passengers. has gone through
similar transition
or course. it is understood that
long and short" runs are used in a
relative sense. The mere fact that
the lines arc interurban indicates that
the trips are of more than a very few
minutes duration. AS emphasized
previously, runs around the 100 or
$50 mile class seem to be holding on
reasonably well. but above that the
field is very much more sparsely culti-
waited.

BILL PROVIDES
FOR REFORM OF
ELECTION LAWS

Correction or Irregularities and
DEFICIENCIES in State election laws are
provided in a bill prepared by Fred C.
Cause and William w. Spencer, State
election commissioners, and in
troduced in the Indiana Senate by
Senators James j. Nejdl and Thomas
III. Branaman.
The election measure was one OF
twelve new bills introduced today.
The number of voters to precinct
is limited in the new bill. Where
voting machines are used 600 would
be allotted to precinct and where
ballots prevail the number is held to
$50.
Pay of sheriffs, clerks, judges and
inspectors is increased in the pro-
posed measure. Sheriffs of elections
would receive Sc day where they
now get $3.50. Clerks and judges
would go to 50 day whereas their
present pay is SO, and inspectors are
increased to $12 a day from SO.
A challenged voter must step aside
and not interfere with the voting un-
der the changed plan.
1t would require 1000 names in
stead Of 500 to be listed as a candi-
date for State office. Congressman
nomipations will take 500 instead of
200, and proportionate increases are
provided for offices down to town
ship trustees.
Cause and Spencer, in explaining
the requested change in the required
number Of signatures, said that IL
this provision had been in force close
to $125, 900 could have been saved in
former elections.
Display of the national flag at the
polling place is made mandatory. The
commissioners say that such step
would not only provide a means Of
ready identification, but will be a
Symbol of the true spirit of the cleo
ton franchise, a patriotic duty for
every citizen
