NEGRO CHARGES PEONAGE
Washington, June J.—The
most radical change in the phydi
cal appearance of its paper money
that this Government has made
since Hamilton set up its cur-
rency system has been ordered
by the Secretary of the treasury.
The :tize of all the bills is to be
changed When the scheme is
worked out bills' will be a third
smaller than they are today and
of different design.
Thi4 change in the currency
was ordered because tests showed
that the smaller size is handier
than the present size. The altera-
tion in design is for simplifica-
tion anil reduction in (ze lessen
the cost off maufacture.
The new money will not be
ready for circulation until next
summer. One dollar bills mak.
up more than half of the bulk of
our paper currency, and bills' of
this denomination will be the
first to appear in the reduce
v.e. Next the $20 hills will he
nroduped it will take two or
three vears to place all the de-
nomination, revised, in circula-
tion.
One kind of paper, money will
disappear entirely. There will
be no national bank notes under
the new scheme. The Govern-
ment bonds that national bank?
deposit as a guarantee of the re
demptton of the money they put
out will all mature by 1930. The
Treasury purposes tq retire them
thus canceling national bank
notes They are the most com-
plicated element in tilt currency.
<nd their disappearance will
greatly simplify the paper money
<:heme of the Government.
The advantage of the smaller
s'ze for paper money was demon
strated quite by accident. Some
twenty-five yearsi ago when Spain
by po-ice treaty ceded the Philip-
pines to the United States it be-
i ante necessaty for the Govern-
