the constitutional argument Is concerned
Not at all. The last decision OF the Gu
preme court was, so to speak, compro-
mise decision. It did not decide that the
government had the right, under the con-
stitution, to make treasury notes legal
tender at all times, under all circumstances.
Their decision would not uphold further
issue OF legal tender notes as demanded by
the Ohio democracy. The decision, as
conciscly stated by Governor Morton, was
simply to the effect "that the issue OF
greenbacks during the war, under pres
sure of national military necessity, was
." constitutional. From reading of the
arguments of counsel on both sides, and
the decision of the court, it Is evident that
if the naked question of the issue of treas

of congrcss-an as it was, the war issue
