Care banks to pay income tax on
semi.annual dividends? If so. is it
one per cent OF the amount distributed
or does the fact that as corpora
ton It pays corporation taxes exempt
this dividend from income taxes?
A.-The dividends are exempt and
you should make no deduction of tax
The banking association as such pays
the tax In the tax on its net earn
ings and to tax the individual stock
holder would be double-taxation.
Q.-The banks in which I am In
terested own q considerable amount
of coupon bonds on which the tax
will be taken OFF at the source. VIII

A.-You are advised that the debtor

THE TRUE TEST.

THE TRUE TEST
You can laugh at the world-its q
funny old world
You can laugh at the people you
meet,
You can laugh at the antics you see
on the stage,
You can laugh at the folks on the
street,
You can laugh at the one who is
fussing about
Or the one who is taking a rest,
But with all of the topics that mer-
riment make
Can you laugh at yourself? That's
the test.
Imagine yourself about twenty feet off
Just taking a quizzical look
And seeing yourself as the others
would see,
AS you would appear In book.
Observe how you sit, how you stand.
how you smile,
And how at the table You eat,
You'll seem quite as queer to yourself,
am sure.
As half of the people you meet.
Ard why are you not may ask, IT
You please.
Legitimate subject for mirth?
You may be az funny in manner and
speech
As any one else on the earth
Give others a rest for some people
object
II over their failings you smile,
And here is a subject YOU need not
offend
So laugh at yourself for awhile.
