WASHINGTON Aug. IL.
The order OF Secretrry of the Treas
ury Cortelyou, made shortly before he
quit office, that the portrait Of the late
President Cleveland replace the por-
trait Of Michael Hillegas. of Pennsyl-
vania, first Treasurer Of the United
States, on the $40 bills. has never been
carried out, and this fact has caused
comment in Washington.
But Treasury officials say the Cor
telyou order 10 place Cleveland's por-
trait on the $40 bills was not held up
because of political consideration. The
failure to carry It under the Taft ad-
ministratiOn has been due to the fact
that Secretary MacVeagh Assistant
Secretary Norton and Director Ralph
of the Bureau OF Engraving and Print
ing have under consideration a gem
eral scheme for improving and system
atizing the designs OF all the issues Of
paper money. When this scheme has
been worked out, it is said, Clevelands
portrait may appear on one Of the new
bills. or on series OF them.
Seeking Ideas Abroad

matter in hand are seeking suggestions

and experts outside the Government

Of paper money may be improved in ap-

One Of the suggestions under consid-

Presidents or other noted Americans be
not restricted to single denomination
or class OF paper money but that the
same portrait or other design. such as
the buffalo. be used on all classes OF
bills OF the same denomination-sllve

May be Made Smaller.
Even a more radical change than this
has been suggested. and some OF the
Treasury officials are inclined TO favor
IL. This is that the size of our bills be
reduced to about the size OF the French
and Italian notes of smaller denomina-
tions. These notes are about three -ffths
the size OF ours and are. therefore. more
convenient to handle and carry. BY re-
