shortage OF equipment has caused

There may be grounds for an

a taxable corporation bond on a 3
per cent basis
Aside from the income tax. how
ever. the bond buyer must consider
other taxes levied IN his own COM
munity. The bonds he owns are per
sonal property. and unless they have
been made "tax-free." are subject 10
the same rate OF impost as his other
personal property,
SO individual bond buyers, who
are estimated TO take about two
thirds OF the billions of this class
OF securities put out by our govern
ments national. state. and munich

corporations, must look after this
item in estimating income from

Most government issues are made

nicipal bonds IL locally held. Most

pages showing how returns are TO
be made do meet considerable de

One paragraph In the booklet is a
sane comment on problem the
average bond buyer will face when
he goes TO market: What advantage
Is there in buying tax free" bonds
Concerning the income tax this is
said:
Unless the taxpayers income is
$4,000 or more IL will not be profit
able for him TO buy tar exempt Sc
curities IL the return from such Sc
curities is appreciably less than that
which he might receive by purchas-
ing taxable securities. An investor
