circular concerning the methods of arriving
at the taxable capital of national banks does
not admit that capital invested IN United
States bonds is to be ascertaned by taking
the price paid for the bonds less the accrued
interest prior to the Attorney Generals opin-

then stated in letter to the Merchants Ma

assessments national banks will be allowed
to deduct the price paid for United States
bonds less accrued interest in arriving at the
