WHERE FRICTION IS NEEDED

1t IS related In AN unofficial way
that when General Pershing was in
formed Of his selection for command
in France he asked to have General
Sibert sent as his next in rank. The
reason for this is apparent to army
men. Sibert Is a man Of ideas as
we'll as courage. When Cocktails was
building the Panama Canal. Sibert
was one of his assistants. and was so
eager and tireless that'he sometimes
aroused friction. AS a result Of that
friction it was intimater' 10 President
Taft that Sibert should he transferred
TO some other field. NO." said Taft,
let him stay there; little friction
may help" Pershing realizes the need
OF men who are aggressive enough to
create friction once in while
II this anecdote is true. and there
Is no reason 20 doubt it. it IS remark
able that General Sibert ever reached
France. for if there is anything the
Democratic administration hates 1t is
friction. So far none but obedient
and deserving Democrats arc con-
sidercd persona grata with the High
Command"

THE MORE DESIRABLE BOND

ia not likely that they will suffer any
aQpreciable decline, although they
bear q lower rate Of interest. 81 per
{ cent compared with { per cent for
.-the. last issue of the loan. The. first
Issue IS bound to have prcfcrment for
1eyeral reasons. In the frs, place, the
6onds are desirable for investors who
wish Ito avoid disclosing their wealth.
The income from these taN-free ; rs
need not be declared in 4 persons an
s$nual income tax return. For that rea-
son alone these bonds will always BE-
{ IN demand by thosc DESTROYS Of secret
ing at least a portion OF their wealth.
On the other hand. the income from
the. Liberty 4s must DC included in
ctNes income tax returns. In the pay
Sment Of interest coupons no certificate"
sof ownership is necessary for either
1.-The 31ks or Is. Briefly. the posSessor
Z of the 35ss adds nothing 10 his income
which is taxable. while the holder OF
tie AS increases his taxable income
ana thereby raises his total taxes.
1StHl another point In favor of the

not generally understood. is its con-

version privilege. The ( per cent
Liberty Bonds can Go converted only
into the next succeeding higher rat"
iSsue, whereas the Sis can be con-
verified not only into the As. but into
any subsequent issue. no matter at
what interest rate IT, may be offered.
In other words. if the third issue of
Liberty Bonds be put out at AZ pei
ccut. tho holders OF both 3l:s and IS
will have }he privilege Of converting
their bonds into the new issue; but
i. the wuc should be unduly prolonged
and fourth issue become necessary.
and if that fourth issue should be put
OF; at. say, 3 per cent or more. the
holders oT the 3las would have the
privilege Of converting their bonds
into the SIS. but the holders Of As
would not.
The possibility Of higher taxation Is
also another reason why the 3H per
cent Liberty Bonds are more likely to
appreciate in price than they are to
depreciatp As the income tax law
stands at present. only those having
incomes of 100000 or more find it 10
their advantage to buy Is in prefer.
>nce 10 the 31as. but if the income tax
rates should be increased the demand
for tax-exempt bonds will increase
materially.
