Senators Foresee Cut
In Silver Dollar Size
To Regulate Value
Moderate Initiation
Seen Tending to Make
Debts Less Of q Burden
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A group of Senators interested in
silver suggested yesterday that the
size and weight OF the silver dollar
might have to be reduced ito regu-
late the value of the dollar to that
point where the people can meet"
mounting debts and taxes.
Should our national debt reach
the sum now prophesied by some of
our citizens" they said in a state
ment. then the burden Of such debt,
together with the State, county, city
and district debts. coupled with taxes
and the existing private debts, may
mean that the present size and
weight of the standard silver dollar
may have to be reduced in order
to regulate the value of the dollar
to that point where the people can
meet such taxes, interest and debts.
If this eventuality should hap
pen. then our large accumulation Of
gold and silver monetary metals will
go a long way toward liquidating
our national obligations
This view was not amplifled, but
the contention apparently was that
moderate imitation would tend to
make the debt less burdensome.
