To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 tht Eultor OF Inc Evening Star.
1 have read with great interest Mr..
Castles proposed plan of postal currency,
given in detail in your issue Of Monday.
Now, MI Castle is a model officer and
has shown special fitness for his position,
and 1 dislike to criticise the method pro-
posed by him. but 1 am forced to contend
that it does not do away with the difficult
ties now experienced and it SUCCESS a rem
edy that is only partly a remedy
If l had been looking for additional rea-
sons 10 assign as showing the necessity for
postal currency l would have found them
in Mr.. Castles timely and well-dipested
article. For In that he admits that there is
congested condition of work in his bureau
and also that this state of things would be
greatly remedied by the Introduction of
postal currency which would be practicable
and he adds that lit would be Immediately
popular l Go net agree with the auditor
In his suggestion of a note with postage
stamp TO be affixed and Cancelled and the
name OF the payee written on and properly
ldentihed. 1t Is just this affiXing of stamps
and identification and annoyance that we
want to get away from. Else the relief
would be only partial. The auditor further
says that he would welcome any scheme
that would materially reduce the excessive
number of money orders and would intro
duce currency convenient for small remit
tances- l claim all this for the plan which
l have suggested. 1 would not have the
postal currency note treated as in any sense
voucher. but as representing an intrinsic
money value The extra expense and labor
or this currency system would be infinitely
small compared with its many advantag ges
and great convenience. But it may be asked,
where does the government come in on a
suggestion of this kind? My answer is, 1t
comes In just this way: First, in the re-
duced expenses in the money order branch.
Next, in the fact that certain percentage
of them (as in all currencies) would be lost,
destroyed and never redeemed. And lastly
please observe in mailing these postal notes
postage stamps are required. It Is esti-
mated by expert financiers that the per-
centage of loss of any circulating medium
is about ) per cent
Now, If we should raise the denomination
of this postal currency to One dollar r1at
would do away with thousands more of
| money orders / claim for my plan 1ust this.
and this only: That 1t would be practical,
cheap, simple. and that we are fast an
| preaching time when it will be an abso-
| 'ute necessity.
| In closing let me add, for the benefit of
| those who may not have seen the first OF
| hese articles, that the proposition Is lust
| this: That the government issue a postal
currency in denominations as follows: Five
cents. ten, twenty-five, fifty and one dollar:
| distinctive in color and artistic In design,
| redeemable with cash or stamps at any post
| office in the United States and known as
| United States fractional postal currency"
