| 34. To David
Diamond (January 31, 1950)
One of the collateral purposes of the valun plan is to diminish and ultimately
abolish the use of currency in payrolls, and thus diminish the
use of currency in general. Currency is indispensable, but its
present uses are excessive. This is due to its general use in
payrolls, and to the unattractiveness to employees of the present
checking method.
Under our plan, each employee will be entitled to a check account
with an overdraft power with which he immediately can draw checks,
thus making it possible for the employer to make up payroll once
a month. To accomplish this, the employer will be supplied with
a payroll check about the size of a letterhead, on which he will
list the employees and the various sums to be credited to their
accounts. This will be mailed to the bank, where the various sums
will be entered as deposits to the accounts of the various employees.
No checks will be issued to the employees, and thus will be obviated
the necessity of their making individual deposits. This will dispense
with a great amount of detail.
