REDUCTION IN SIZE
OF PAPER CURRENCY
IS ALMOST ASSURED
Secretary MacVeagh Awaits
Only Appropriation to
Change System.

Reduction of the size of the paper
currency Of the country looks like a
certainty.
For long time this subject has been
discussed. Objections have been raised
and demolished, and others raised and
assailed. Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeaga has kept at the question,
and has had 1t gone into thoroughly by
experts. The indications now are that
the reform Is going to be brought about
before any great length of time.
The Treasury Department does not
need special authority to make the
changes. Secretary MacVeagh, how
ever, mas had a committee to go into
the matter. One reason for the appoint
ment Of the committee was to con-
slider any objections to reduced currency
from bankers, business men, or others.
Another reason for 1t was to work out
the details OF the plan which Secretary
MacVeagh hopes to adopt.
The result of the Investigations OF the
special committee named by the Secre-
tary Is favorable to reduction In size of
bills and to systematization Of designs:
To begin with, 1t is estimated that about
81, 100000 could be saved annually by
making smaller bills.
The adoption of bills the size of the
currency used in the Philippines is pro-
posed. The present paper currency Is,
roughly, by N inches. The exact pro-
portions are 3.04 by 7.2S inches. The
plan Is to reduce these to 2n by
Inches. The smaller sized currency used
in the Philippines is successful. In fact,
few people are likely to notice the diff
ference in size unless they give the
matter close attention.
1t Is pointed out the Government
would save money in number of re-
spects by adopting the smaller bill.
About Is per cent more bills would be
printed from the same material. The
labor for the smaller bills would be
the same as for the larger ones.
A uniform bank note design for all
banks IS proposed. Under the present
system a special design is engraved for
each bank. The result Is that about
1900 plates are required. 1t Is
not proposed to have distinctive
marks for the notes Of the different
banks, but to use comparatively small
number of plates, make a uniform stock
of bank notes and then by separate
process print the names of the different
banks. the charter numbers, and such
marks as are distinctive. This would
result in various economies. For one
thing, the Comptroller of the Currency
would no longer have TO carry in stock
in the vaults of the Treasury, a big
reserve stock Of notes for each separate
bank.
The Treasury Department Is awaiting
only ar appropriation from Congress L
60 ahead with the plan of systematiZinl
and simplifying the currency. Treasury
officials feel that the new plan will b,
a great Improvement.

ONE-MAN CONTROL
FOR BIG 81 CANAL \
Amended Administration Bill Passes
Senate After Lively Debate.
RAILROAD PROPOSITIONS LOST
Attempt to Remove Paragraph Re-
latlna to Rail Central Defeated
Antitrust Section 10
Retained.

Washington, Aug 10.-The Panama
canal administration bill, providing
free passage to American ships, pro-
hibiting railroad owned vessels from
using the waterway, and authorizing
the establishment of one-man gov
eminent when the canal is completed,
was passed by the senate late at night
by vote of AZ to 10.
The provision for free tolls, which
was fought out in the senate Wednes-
day, was Endorsed again just before
the passage of the measure. The bill
will now go to conference.
Attached to the bill, as it passed the
senate, were two important amend
ments directed at trust or railroad con-
troll of steamship lines. The first, by
Senator Reed, would prohibit ships
owned by an illegal industrial combi-
nation from using the canal. The Sec
ond, by Senator Bourne, would force
railroads to give up steamship lines
which might otherwise be their COM
petitors.
The great fight of the day centered
about the provision to prohibit rail-
road owned ships from using the
canal.
Another Railroad Dodge.
Senator Brandegee, chairman Of the
inter-oceanic canals committee. made
an ineffective fight on the rigid provi-
sions against railroad ships. After
the amendments had been adopted to
the house bill he moved that the whole
paragraph relating to railroad con-
troll be stricken out This motion was
defeated, As to Is.
The Reed amendment, against trust
owned ships, was called up for a sec
ond vote before the bill passed. and
was adopted on final passage by a
vote Of So to %.
Rrandegee Closed Debate.
The completed canal bill finally was
passed, with Burton. Crane. Gallinger,
