A Banker's Viewpoint •••
The U.S. Treasury is initiating a series of moves
that we think are downright sensible.
First, the department is going to reissue $2 bills.
That will happen right away.
Next, if all goes according to plan, one dollar bills
will be phased out, leaving the $2 bill as the smallest
denomination in our currency. Then, in this series of
moves that tacitly admit what our money has
come to be worth, the Treasury plans to mint a new
one dollar coin. It will be only a little bigger than a
quarter.
Our dollar has been slipping in value for years. In
fact, it has lost 40 per cent of its buying power only
since 1966.
So we claim the Treasury is doing something
straightforward - a rare happening in government -
when it plans to reduce the size of the dollar coin to one
comparable with what it will buy.
Maybe now all of us will see clearly how our
money has been eroded, and begin to look for the villain
who did this dirty job. You don't have to look very far.
Money is eroded in value when it is in greater
supply than the goods it is supposed to buy.
Surplus dollars don't have to be put into circula-
tion in physical form to generate inflation. You get
the same result when Congress votes for deficit spending
measures, financed by the issue of federal bonds. The
bonds don't get into your pocket as currency, but they
do the same thing as printing press money. They create
inflation, send prices through the roof, and kick up
your federal taxes. For in the end that many more
dollars have to be printed to pay them off.
So we think the Treasury is doing a commendable
thing in its plan for a miniature dollar coin.
No other action we can think of could more effec-
tively bring home to all of us what Congress has done to
our money by the deficit spending of billions upon
unnecessary billions—
This takes on added significance when you remem-
ber that only last year members of Congress voted for
themselves an automatic "cost of living" pay increase
system designed to insulate them forever against the
ravages of inflation that they create for the rest of us.
We believe in thii country end in people. Like the
waters of our Constitution, we believe that the strength and
the real intelligence of government originates with the people.
So we urge all our citizens, here and elsewhere, to do our
part-keep up with public issues and send our opinions about
them to our elected representatives.
