An Ohio court has decided that the
tender of twenty dollar bill in pay
ment of a ninety cent railroad fare is
not a legal tender, and that the railway
employees were justified in ejecting the
man who offered the payment. II this
decison is sustained by the higher
courts. all passengers will be required
to offer the exact fare to conductors or
run the risk Of ejectment If the de-
cision is in accordance with law, it
is not in the line of common sense, and
