Reduction of Force.
The temporary reduction OF force. so far
as II concerns the personnel OF the Treasury
department, may be disregArded, | think.
for we have already instituted. In adopting
other new processes. the policy OF filling
vacancies from the inside instead Of the
outside. The disturbance OF our forces
would be very slight. and all employees
dropped would be taken care of quickly. II
not at the start. 1t must be borne in mind
that the business Of the government is
growing ali the time, and that hundreds Of
vacancies occur in the Treasury depart
ment every year. and we can usually avoid
personal hardship in the case Of employees
who are displaced by re-employing our own
force as vacancies occur instead OF taking

'on the popular side. l am inclined TO
think the change would cause little II any
Inconvenience and would quickly be COM
mended by the people. The smaller notes
could be carried flat and being preserved

and would be more readily handled by

a special committee Of treasury officials
has been at work for months upon the
details involved in the change Of designs
and the suggested reduction in the size Of
paper currency. This committee has can
vassed with equal candor the advantages OF
and the objections TO the plan. Discussing
the details OF popular Interest Involved
Secretary MacVeagh makes the following
statement
Il am hopeful that the public will con-
slider favorably. as the Treasury depart
ment is inclined TO consider favorabIy. the
economies and other advantages which
would result ultimately from the use Of a
somewhat smaller paper currency. The
present size OF paper currency is 500 inches
wide by 7-@ inches long. and IL has been
suggested that our notes be reduced TO ~
inches wide by inches long. the same sise
as the Philippine paper currency. which
has proved an unqualified suceesS-and a
size which. when Il is not brought into
direct comparison with the present note.
and when not scrutinixed, would not TO
most people, present a noticeable change.
From the treasury point OF view, the pro-
posed reduction would result in an esu-
mated saving 20 the government Of ss12 coo
every year. This economy would be gained
from various sources. For example. we
would print five notes where We print four
now. and the increased production OF Is per
cent more notes with the same labor as al
present carried through all the various
processes OF wettng. examining. counting
drying. numbering. sealing. separating. etc
would save more than $4,000 a year alone

WASHINGTON, Sept l7.-For more than
year the Treasury department has con-
templated a Standardization OF the designs
for United States notes and gold and silver
certificates and a reduction In the size OF
paper currency. No less than nineteen mis-
cellaneOus portrait and historic designs ap-
pear upon the issues now current These
serve no useful purpose In Identifying the
denomination of notes with the designs they
bear nor have they been selected according
20 any scheme OF historical balance. As an
example OF existing confusion. the present
dollar silver certificate bears the portraits
of both Lincoln and Grant The plan Is 10
reduce these nineteen miscellaneous designs
10 nine, selecting the portraits with some
reference to the Importance and position Of
their subjects In American history and
using the same portrait on one denomina-
ton throughout. The faces would be placed
In the center OF the note and would enable
the holder 10 determine at q glance the
denomination
For example. the dollar note. which ls in

and, in fact banks as we'll as subtreasuries
probably could store Is per cent more Of
the new than of the Old notes in their
vaults.
1t will not be necessary TO change the
dimensions OF cash drawers, tills. cOmpart-
ments. etc. which now hold the present
size OF money they will hold also cur
rency Of the size proposed. This would not
be true, OF course. II the suggestions were
to enlarge the size Of the notes

The only objection 70 adopting smaller
notes which seems 70 me Of special i'm
portance is that for some time two sizes OF
paper money would be in use and bank
tellers and the business public would be
correspondingiy Inconvenience. l think,
however. that this objection could be
largely II not almost wholly overcome by
preparing in advance enough Of the new
notes that they could be exchanged for
old notes on a fixed date at all subtreas-
uries. banks and other large financial In
stitutions. Preparation for the change, in
Guiding the making OF designs and plates
and the printing OF notes. probably would
require about eighteen months, and within
that time no doubt enough new notes
could be printed 10 make possible an almost
complete change. The people themselves
would aid this change naturally and rapidly
in their desire 10 secure specimens OF the
new money. am convinced that the crit
cisms OF the proposed issue are based rather
upon considerations Of temporary incon.
venienee than upon essential and insur.
mountable objections. II this is the case
these objections should hardly be permitted
TO stand in the way Of permanent progress,
and economy.

varying the color In which the seal on the

ing OF these will continue 10 be done by a
separate process. hence the distinction sug-
gested Involves no additional expense. The
name of the class will be repeated as many

The department might feel warranted in
proceeding 20 change the designs OF the
notes without awaiting the suggestions OF
banking institutions. hat a somewhat diff
ferent proposition is presented In the plan
TO reduce the size OF the notes TO 6K2i1

public convenience Is more OF less in

TO welcome criticisms and suggestions from

United States notes and gold and silver
certificates. In order. however. to effect
reduction In the size OF national bank
currency without legislation, and at the
same time continue the present multiple
city Of designs, II would be necessary TO
eliminate the 12.O0o plates now In use and
to engrave as many more. This could be
done, ] presume. only by the government $
assumption OF the expense OF new plates
and as each plate costs SIS. the total cost
OF the new series would reach about $500 900
IL would be quite possible. however. 10 use
the same uniform engraved plates for all
bank notes and TO print later by separate
process the name of the Individual bank
upon the notes which that bank was to
issue.
To seeare Liquidation.
Another plan would be to secure legis-
lauve authority for q uniform circulating
note. which would do away with the neces-
sity for the special notes for individual
banks. Only 800 or 800 plates would be
needed. and they would cause the banks no
sppreciable expense.
III II is decided TO remodel our paper
currency along the lines proposed, / am

improvements in the quality OF the designs
