will take up the old form quickly
enough"
Irving Emerson of the Kraft & En-
erson Drug Company.-"It strikes me
as being an Improvement. because II
makes the system more uniform and
will protect the hurried business man
from many mistakes in change-mak-
ing"
The Washington officials have
cOurted the opinion and criticism of
the merchants and business men
throughout the country. In the fore
going The Sentinel expresses the
opinions of representative business
men in Grand junction; and, as may
be seen, the opinions are all favor
able.
The following reasons are advanced
in favor of the change by experts who
have been behind the movement:
1. Uniformity with United States
notes and certificates, thus making
all paper issues in circulation of the
same size. with the same portrait for
identical denominations.
2. Reduction in the force of the
office of the comptroller of the cur
rency in receiving currency from the
bureau of engraving and printing in
its shipments to the banks.
3. Reduction in vault space re-
quired by the comptroller of the cur
rency because of the diminution in
the size of the notes, and the avoid
ance of the necessity for the comp
troller of the currency to carry a re-
serve supply for each bank, as his
stock would be common to all banks
4. Saving of large number of
sheets which are held ready for issue.
but which are Cancelled because the
banks for which they are prepared go
into liquidation. This estimate was
654 900 sheets in the last fiscal year
At present tilH Treasury has TO keep
a reserve stock of notes always on
hand for each of the 900 active ma
Itional banks. The proposed plan
would result in an estimated saving
of 100000 year.
5, Reduction OF force in national
bank redemption agency through
probable elimination of assortment
by charter numbers of the notes sub
mitted for redemption.
8. In times of panic or money
stringency the proposed uniform cur
rency would be particularly helpful.
The banks could then send the neces-
sary amount of bonds to the nearest
subtreasury and get their equivalent
in currency. This could be done in
the short space of time required for
counting the bonds and making the
book entry. In 1907 banks sending
to Washington for their own notes
had to wait sometimes three or four
weeks before the currency could be
supplied.
I. The main advantage, however
of making these changes in the bank
notes is the fact that they will render
possible changes in our other forms
of paper money which will save the
government more than 100000 a
year. and will give the people clean
er, more convenient, and more artis-
. tic currency.

LOCAL OPINION ON CHANGE Of
SIZE OF NEW PAPER MONEY
Bankers and Business Men Give Their Views
Regarding Currency Alteration.

The Associated Press dispatch from
Washington, ID. c., stating that
changes in the size of American paper
currency are contemplated, was read
with interest by many of the promi-
nent business men of this city, read
ers of The Sentinel, Saturday. The
general consensus of opinion among
the leading bankers and other busi-
ness men of the city is that the
changes which will be made are bene-
ficial but there seems TO be the i'm
preston that while the changes of
inscription are all right. and there is
no serious objection to the chane in
size, that the latter is not vitally
necessary and If any convenience re-
suits it will be from this.
The following were interviewed in
regard to their opinions and the re-
suits are as follows;
l.. Wickersham, assistant cashier of
Grand Valley National Bank be-
lieve that thS change in the bills will
result in an improvement in the
handling of money as person will
be enabled at glance to tell the
denomination of the same without
referring to the figures. | don't
know as the change in size will cause
any inconvenience but l can't see
Just why this is necessary"
Orson Adams. president of the
Mesa County National Bank-"Off
hand. about the only statement |
could make would be that | believe
the men at the head of monetary af-
fairs are in better position to know
of matters of this kind than the usual
business man or banker at large"
Ollie E. Bannister. of Bannister
Bros. G. Silcox Furniture, Co.-"I
don't care how they cut down the
size of my bills Just so they don't cut
down the number of the bills or the
numbers on the bills. Otherwise |
believe it will be a fairly good move" /"
v. Gilcrest, owner of the Red
Trunk-"I read the article with in
terest and have often wondered why
so many designs and makes of bills
were put out l believe the changes
contemplated are all right although
they should not be made too small" ."
ID. t. Stone, cashier of Union Trust
Banking Company.-"After study
ing the matter carefully, | have come
TO the conclusion that the changes
mooted are an Improvement, especial
- 'he 'hdhSe III tne INSCRIPTIONS. 1he
smaller size should not cause any in
convenience in stacking or handling,
for all practical purposes, and | be-
lieve that they will wear better and
stand the usage better than the old
form"

question being the change in size
