A LEGAL PUZZLE.

A curious legal situation is that
which now puzzles the people OF In
dianapolIs. The law recently passed
by the legislature OF the state In ressru
to street car fares has been declared
Unconstitutional by q u. b. court,
while the state supreme court declared
1t constitutional. The attorney gene
raj OF the stale points out that the de-
cision Of the supreme court fixes the
construction OF the institution In
such cases beyond controversy; yet
the federal judge having Issued an
Injunction restraining the street car
Company from accepting the fare
prescribed by the state law, the public
is admonished to pay tho illegal fare,
and thus "msi ntain the reputation for
obey,ug the laws" until the TINA at.
iiyes that the matter can "adiu st itself
In accordance with the law"
The situDtion Is rather puzzling, hut
the Chicago Daily News ofiers the
ironicai explanation that the law is
constitutional and valid In Indiana
but unconstitutional and void in the
U lied States. That paper remaras:
The result will be some triilng coniu-
sion and EN- barrassment 10 the indian
apolis street. car men and their patrons
until the distinction Is fully settled into
practice; then 1t Will work with perfect
smoothness. The 3-cent fare Is binding
and in force in Indiana. Hence a pas
senger riding in Indiana only cannot be
compelled to pay more than cents.
But the new law Is not in force in .he
United States, and It. follows hat as soon
as the passenger rides over into the
United States he must pay cents AS be-
fore. Or, If a passenger enters car
which happens to be in the United
States and 1t remains in the United
States until his fare is collected, then he
must pay cents; but the moment he
gets into Indiana he is entitled to the re-
turn OF 9 cents, making his fare cents,
as the Indiana law contemplates.
Easiest thing In tho werid when
you know now.
