When May was three years old she
was taken to church for the first time.
She Immediately became very restless
and was determined to stand up on the
cushioned pew. Her mother endeavored
to hold her close to herself, but tn.
little girl struggled and finally began
to cry.
"Why, May" said the mother,
losing her patience, "can't you be
quiet like a good little girly"
~ can't see it, replied May, can ;

Revenue Circulated Tax is Not APP

Bonds.

Columbia, March 25.-On January
A. 1915, a United States treasury de-
clslon was rendered in regard to
bonds. in which it was stated that
bonds issued as certificates or evil
dence Of Indebtedness, which were
generally based on mortgages or some
ether character of security. founded
upon real estate or personal property,
should be taxed under the
revenue act of October 22, 1914, at 5
cents on each 500 Of face value or
fractional part thereof, when issued
by n association, company or cor
poration. If, however, they were
issued simply by an individual and
based either upon his individual credit
or property, o~bligating him to pay a
certain sum or sums Of money at a
specified time or times. with or with
out coupons, simply marking and indi-
eating interest due thereon, and
whether or not based upon a mort
gage Of either personal or real estate.
they fell within the taxation imposed
upon promissory notes; tina is to say,
2 cents when promising to pay a sum
not exceeding 800, and 2 cents for
each additional 500 or fractional
part thereof.
Later on, the department stated
that this decision was based upon a
form Of promissory note engraved in
large and ~yariously colored letters
with the word Bond" on the d
as title and with interest
attached thereto, and that it was not
the intention Of the department. to
hold taxable as promissory notes
bonds which + e issued by individuals

promise to pay a sum Of money at q
stated time, certain penal conditions
and provisions, default of any one
OF which would render forfeitable the

that all such bonds are taxable at so
cents each, and not as promissory
notes.
