WASHINGTON, April 22-Is the
day OF n penny n nickel In the
past? 1t would seem so, according
10 members Of congress. Within a
week the senate committee on n
ing aud currency mas reported favor
ably to the senat a bill TO coin two
cent pieces. and Senate F~relinghuy-
sen OF New Jersey Ia introduced a
measure providing for tn ecotnage OF
seven and eight cent pieces.
The proposal hat these new coins
be made is due directly to the change
In prices of all kinds of commodities.
Those things which formerly could
be bought for n penny or a nickie
can no longer be bought for such
prices. The newspaper, when USED
To sell 70 ra penny, the stick OF candy
the box of matches, all have gone to
two conts, or even more. Nickles don l
get YOU very far on a trolley line or
any other kind of street conveyance
The public utilities com
mission OF tho national capital has
fust issued an order permitting inc
street car companies In the District
OF Columbia to charge an eight cent
fare, beginning May i. At present
the fare is seven cents.
The soft drinks that used TO cost a
nickel. the slabs of chocolate that
have brought delight-nd misery-to
30 many youngsters have all scared be-
vond the reach of that plebian coin.
II Is no longer de rcgle TO slip q
waiter a nickle II he brings OF a boWl
of soup: he would look at you with
proper scorn If you attempted such a
thing, might eve suggest that you
needed the coin more than ne, ana
he pnfpht ha right Mt that.
The proposals of Senator Frellng-
huysen and Senator Lear have been
made to meet the convenience OF the
public who have small purchases. The
demand for pennies has become enor-
nous to make change. With a two-
cen piece, a seven cent piece n an
eight sent piece, II will be easily pos
slble to make the odd combinations
now required to purchase small ar
tlcles. 1t will be possible to a read
lily. and without an outturning of peck
cts, the taxes on admissions TO the
movies and other entertainments.
The two-cent coin Is, under the
Mclean bill, TO be a memorial to
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t is to be made
of copper alloy and to be somewhat
larger than the penny. though not like
the old cart wheels that used to be
coined as two-cent pieces something
over u quarter of n century ago. On
the face OF the coin is to be n likeness
of Colonel Roosevelt. Senator FIRE.
linghuysen In his bill does not speci-
fy what shall be the design of the
seven and eight cent pieces. but leaves
that to the director OF the mint. They
are not to be made of silver, however.
but of a nickle alloy somewhat similar
to that which now goes into the five
cent piece.
These proposals for new coins OF
Increased value TO purchase the articles
thai used to be bought for less would
indicate that the legislators feel that
the higher prices have come to stay
for an appreciable time. They are
the latest development of the war and
Increased prices consequent thereon.
During the Civil War and the years
that Immediately followed 1t, the
