A now coin of the* denomination of 2'j cents would lower the cost of liv ing in the United States. The favora ble recommendation made by the di rector of the mint in his annual re port should make the establishment of such a coin as part of the currency : a likely prospect. The economic rea sons for the introduction of an in termediate coin are well stated by the director himself: "When vou consider that we have no coin between the 1-ccnt piece and the 5-cent piece, and that many an article worth more than a cent and less than ,r> cents sells for the latter price because of the lack of an inter mediate monetary unit of value," says the director, "the economic impor tance of it will be readily seen. Ar ticles which now sell for 15 cents each, or two for a quarter, would sell for 12% cents. Popular shops, such as the 5 and 10 cent stores, would undoubtedly place articles now sell ing two for 5 cents on sale at 2% cents." There are many other reasons for regarding a coin of such denomination as an economic necessity. Americans deal too extensively in round figures. When increased wages were paid in the coal mines, for instance, the bur den was passed on to the consumer, each intermediary adding 5 or 10 cents or a quarter before passing the commodity on to the next intermedi ary. If there were a fractional coin, it undoubtedly would mean a consid erable saving to the consumers. Telephone costs should be reduced, but the reduction is not likely to be made until a fractional coin is estab lished between the cent and the 5-cent piece. There are hundreds of differ ent ways in which the proposed new coin would become effective as an agent of economy. If only half a cent were saved 011 items here and there, the total saving throughout the nation would mount into the millions. The suggestion is practical, and in volves no violent change in the cur rency system. It is one of those reme dies for the high cost of living which are available without investigation or long discussion. If Congress would set itself to such practical forms of relief, more headway would be made than by the movement for embar goes, congressional inquiries and pros ecutions. ? Washington Post.
