URGES BOND ISSUE
OF S7,5OO,OOO,OOO
McAdOO Would Have It Sub
! ject to Income Supertaxes
and War Taxes
FAVORS RATE OF
EVEN FOUR PER CENT
Thinks Such an Offering Would Favor
Small Investors-New Issue Would
Retire Recent Loan and Provide Lib
eral Credits for Allies

WASHINGTON, Aug. lS.-Issuance
of 81 ,53S, 600 worth of 4 per cent
federal bonds, subject only to income
super taxes, war profits, and excess
profits taxes, and designed to provide
81, 200, 600 900 for further allied loans
and to retire the $4,000, 100000 non-tax-
able 31a per cent issue now authorized
to cover loans to the allies, is contem
plated i'll suggestions, submitted by Sec
rotary McAdoo yesterday to the Ways
and Means Committee.
The suggestions caused immediate ac-
tivity among Democrats and Republi
cans of the committee, many of whom
are opposed TO details of the Secretary s
plan. While taxation of the bonds is
generally favored, something more con
crete than the secretary suggests, such
as a fiat levy of 9 per cent of the in
tcrest rate, or application of the income
tax appeared to be more generally dc
sired by House members.
The 1 per cent interest proposal will
probably he accepted by the committee.
The secretary has impressed members
with the necessity of prompt sale of the
bonds and the possibility OF attaining
ais result by an increased rate.
Only a most unreasonable tax rate il
is agreed, can prevent a lively demand
for the bonds IT 4 per cent. The fact
| that they will be exempt from all save
federal taxation is in itself sufficient
! inducemcnt to create a good market
| and predictions Of bond experts that a
1 per cent rate may carry the bond,
above par is expected to increase tn,
| demand.
| One Of the principal arguments al
vancCd for the secretary ; plan is tina
| il would protect the small investor
| Surfaces would not apply under tn
| revenue bill now before the Senate OF
| incomes of less than $4,000 Few, ex
| cept the large investors, would be af
| fectcd by the war and excess profit
taxes, it is believed.
Variations III war and excess profit
taxes are 50 great that il is Difficult
| to present even general idea of wha
rates might be collected through sue
sources. calculations on supertax rC
turns, however, are easily made. Undo
the proposed law, for instance. tn
supcrtax on $4,000 worth of bono
| would be $3.50 and on 100000 wort
$500. Thus the holder Of 1876. 900 wort
Of per cent bonds would receive
net income OF 1916 per cent, viii
the holders OF a 100000 allotmc.
would receive 80 per cent
