neer for some months, he had been
engaged in construction of a railroad

FOR VICTORY
LOMBONDS
The following telegram from Secre
tary of the Treasury Glass explaining
tax exemption features of the Victory
Liberty Loan act has been received
by Governor James K. Lynch of the
Federal Reserve bank:
“It is perhaps not generally under
stood that under the terms of Section
2 (a) of the Victory Liberty Loan act,
the interest received on and after Jan
uary 1, 1919, until the expiration of
five years after the termination of the
war, on an amount of bonds of the
First Liberty Loan converted, the
Second Liberty Loan converted and
unconverted, the Third Loan and the
Fourth Liberty Loan, the principal of
which does not exceed $30,000 in the
agregate, owned by an individual,
partneshoip, association or corpora
tion, will be exempt from surtaxes,
excess profits and war profits taxes
now or hereafter imposed by the
United States, upon the income or
profits of individuals, partnerships,
associations oy corporations.
“Not only is this exemption in ad
dition to all other exemptions here
tofore conferred, but it is independ
ent of any subscription to the Victory
Liberty Loan, and is immediately ef
fective. The Victory liberty Loan
act also contains a provision author
izing the secretary of the treasury to
extend the privileges of converting 4
per cent bonds of the First Liberty
Loan converted, and 4 per cent bonds
of the Second Liberty Loan into 4%
per cent bonds, the higher interest
rate to be effective from the semi
annual interest payment date next
succeeding the date of presentation
for conversion.
"Having recommended that this
conversion privilege be so extended,
I shall of course very promptly ex
ercise the authority thus conferred
upon me and issue regulations cover
ing the details.”
