The Indiana Supreme Court declares the 3 cent fare act constitutional, allowing the Indianapolis Street Railway Company to charge a 5 cent cash fare or 4 cent ticket. Charles F. Smith's suit to challenge the franchise terms fails as the act regulates city contracts, not a forbidden monopoly, and constitutional interpretation favors the legislature.

An Indianapolis Journal special reports that Civil service Commissioner Foulke may face questions about investigating former Internal Revenue Collector D W Henry. Treasury officials say the probe into past state practices may exceed the commission’s remit, suggesting district attorneys handle any misconduct. The article also notes inflationary rivalry between Muncie and Anderson for an omnibus bill amendment, and references Indiana war claims and a Roosevelt interaction with a cadet.
