NEW PANAMA BONDS.



Washington, d. c.. Aug. 6-None of
the new Panama bonds, authorized by
Congress at the session just closed will
be issued before Congress meets again
and has had an opportunity to change
the existing circulation tax.
Announcement to this enect was
made In a statement issued by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Macveagh late
today.
The reasons for withholding the new
issue are set forth by Secretary Mac
veagh as follows:
'Under existing law the tax on cir
culation secured by three per cent
bonds Is one per cent, while halt per
cent Of the tax on circulation secured
by two per cent bonds. The circula :
ton provisions of the new bonds would
therefore be superior to those of the
the two per cent bonds and would pro-
duce a discrimination against the lat
ter. The Secretary feels that 1T Is a
duty OF the government to see that the
two per cent bonds have the protection
of a parity. The conference committee
concluded not to readjust the circula-
zion taxes at this time. The Treasury
De1Aftnfefit hNssiI oe therefore sell only

limited to one year II II shall become

plentsh the Treasury's cash.
