fPIROEBY fm MAY Board proposed Hds Rerad, Should Say BVho Runs on Them, Sponsor Declares, B Motor bus regulation under the State highway commission, fixing of Schedules and routes, s'andardizaBion of equipment, fixirv f-f permit ■icense, weights of busses and other ■maiiflcations necessary in the op-R-mVpn of motor busses over State ■highways are set out in a bill being | prepared by Robert I. Marsh, attorli'ey for Indiana Highways and Motor I Association for presentation to the L General Assembly. Marsh is a law p artner of Governor-elect Ed JackMan. " ■ Another bill, said to be backed by Bhe Union Traction Company of Indiana, provides motor bus regulation | by the public service commission. Tells Why "The State highway commission builds and maintains State highways and should be the Instrument in regulating the traffic over them,” Marsh said. “A schedule of rates would likely be filed with the highway commission for the%- approval,” Marsh said, “but this is a matter that would require working out.” The new bill would not add to the personnel of the highway commission, it is stated, nor increase salaries, but would probably require employment of possibly two clerks to handle detail Work. No Fixed License No fixed permit license is set out In the measure, it being pointed out that a seat license of $3 as framed in a former bill would provide only approximately $30,000 revenue for the State, enough only to build about one mile of hard road. Marsh said the gasoline tax was the only approved method of raising money for highways so far evolved, and that some bus owners paid as high as SIOO per month gasoline tax. Reciprocity between States for interstate bus traffic will also require considerable study, Marsh said. BALL AT WAR COLLEGE Retiring Legion State Commander Goes tt> Washington. E. Arthur Ball, Muncie, Ind., today was on his way to Washington, D. C., to attend the United States War College for six weeks, following his retirement as commander of the Indiana department of * the American Legion. At a farewell dinner at the In dianapolis Athletic Club Wednesday evening Ball was presented with a bronze tablet testifying to his faithful service from twenty-five of his associates in the American Legion. Thomas McConnell, Fowler, Ind., ■was installed as new Indiana commander, by Alvin Owsley of Dallas, Texas, former national commander of the Legion.

Illinois Central System Says That Railroads 1 '■ "" " Strive to Merit Public Cokifidence * r Nearly five years have elapsed since the railroads began to operate under the terms of the Transportation Act,of 1920. During all of this time the railroads have been on trial. The Transportation Act has been on trial. The public has been waiting to determine whether the new system would w ork, whether the railroads under it would be able to improve their facilities and service and establish themselves for the future. " For the first three years business conditions were unsettled, and the new system of regulation could not be said to have had a fair trial under normal conditions. In the two years that have just ended, conditions generally have been more nearly stable. Business has increased, prosperity hflas returned, and there has been an unprecedented demand for transportation service. These two years—l 923 and 1924 —constitute a reasonably fair test of private railway operation under the Transportation Act. What have the railroads accomplished in ihese two years? They have put their properties in better condition than ever before in their entire history. In the two years they have raised and spent more than 2 billion 136 million dollars for improvements and extensions, in addition to large maintenance expenditures. These recent expenditures of more than a billion dollars a year for improvements and extensions compare with a pre-war average annual expenditure of only about half that amount. With their improved facilities, the railroads have handled in the last two years the greatest volume of traffic ever known, and they have done so in a most satisfactory manner, with practically no shortage of sac ilities. By every test of operating the railroads in these two years have improved immensely the character of their service to the public. The railroads, however, cannot stop where they are. They must c* siinue to keep pace with the growth of business. Their capacity is. a limitation upon the country’s prosperity, and they must grow if our greater population of the future is to have its full measure of prosperity. This dependence of prosperity upon adequate transportation makes the question of future railway growth a matter of the greatest public concern toThe railroads have proved their confidence in the continued fairness of the public -Sy making extensive investments for better service. By the result of the November election the public has indicated that it has confidence in the railroads. The railroads Jare going to strive to retain that confidence as their most valuable asset. They are ■planning now to spend 1 billion 100 million dollars for improved facilities in 1925, havHig an abiding faith that the public will permit them to realize a fair return upon their property investment. - K improvements scheduled for 1925, the Illinois Central System, as usual, will > Rj|und in the front rank of progressive American railroads. criticism and suggestions

Pavlowa to Say Farewell Here Monday; . -V '■ * . ■* ' ‘Silks, Satins and Diamonds’ on View

E" NNA PAVLOWA has enchanted almost the whole world by , the witchery ofter famous “swan” dance, Australia being the only great art-loving country the noted Russian has never visited. There must be many for whom the richest artistic achievement in dancing these days is Pavlowa’s impersonation of “the death of a swan.” The dance itself, perhaps, is not qa purely characteristic of the ballet as some of her other dances, but it is so lovely, so romantic, that it stands out in ewery program as a perfect choregraphic lyric. It reveals an almost haunting beauty, and can never grow hackneyed as long as Pavlowa retains the still matchless artistry she has shown ever since her advent into this country, some dozen years back. Pavlowa has wisely included “The Swan” in her program at the Shu-

NOTABLE CHURCH ! GAINS REPORTED BY BISHOP LEETE Substantial Growth in Membership and Finances Is Shown, By BISHOP FREDERICK |D. LEETE, Indianapolis Area Methodist Episcopal Church. The year 1924 has been a season of progress in the work of Indianapolis area of Methodism. More new church buildings than usual have been erected. Many churches have provided suitable structures for instructional wo *k, Including Christian educational and social service. Membership net gain totals between 4,000 afnd 5,000 and Sunday school increases have beerf® larger. Notable events of the year have been the establishment of anew site for the Indiana orphanage, which is now well located at Lebanon, and the completion of financial canvasses for De PauWs University and Evansville College. The evangelistic campaign of the present winter, whose results will not be computed until the time of the spring conferences and then only partially, are believed to be considerably in advance of last year. Methodism in this region looks forward to a day of strengthened Christian faith, of kindlier relations between all classes of people and between the various churches. The Methodist people do not consider themselves altogether free from responsibility for the evil political conditions, or the lack of adequate law enforcement and for the prevalence of crime in Indiana, but they know that" the chief responsibility is elsewhere. They are becoming impressed with the idea that if conditions do not improve the church must help to seek and to apply need,ed remedies.
