LIBERTY BOND ISSUE
AGA|N| BEFORE US
OFFICIALS OF THE TREASURY
SET MINIMUM OF
$21o, ZOO, 900.
THIS DISTRICT TO RAISE THAT
OF $4,000, 000, 900 Second Issue 79o
From Far West-Appropriation
Based on Banking Resources
and Property Value.

Washington. - Treasury officials
have announced the apportionment
of the second Liberty bond issue Of
fered Monday morning among the
federal reserve districts of the coun-
try.
Virtually two-thirds of the loan is
expected to be raised by the New
York, Boston, Cleveland and Chicago
districts.
Appointments indicate only what
each district is expected to do, and
may be entirely upset, as in the case
of the first Liberty loan, by the actual
subscriptions. In making the appor-
tionments officials used two bases of
subscriptions, the minimum of $3,000,-
OO0, 900 and an expected amount" of
$4,000, 100000.
Apparently, in offering the second
issue, officials hope to realize $5,-
000, 1000, 900 response.
Our Reserve District.
Here is the apportionment by the
federal reese rye district of San Fran
cisco, as announced by the treasury
department.: Minimum $21O,000,00O;
Expected al Mount $3.50, 100000.
On Percentage Basis.
In each case, the announcement
reads, 'the amount has been COM
puted on the percentage basis, and
while the banking resources Of each
district-that is, the total resources
and trust companies-have been CIV
of the national banks, state banks
en- large consideration, other factors
have been taken into account, such
each district, the assessed value Of
property therein, the subscriptions re-
ceived from each district to the first
Liberty loan, and the amount of
bonds allotted on each subscription,
the capital available for bond in
vestment in each district, and its po-
pulation."
Apportionment Base Varies.
The basis of apportionment thus
varies materially from that used in
the first Liberty loan, when the bank
ing resources of each federal reserve
district were the sole basis of calcula-
ton. Apportionment by states, easy
of computation in the first issue, can
not be determined except by trea-
sury experts in the second offering.
It is likely that such appointments
will be announced shortly,
Governors Of the federal reserve
banks have been notified by Secreta-
ry McAdoo of the appointments.
The sums stated in the amount ex-
pected" column are designated as
"the amount which each district
should subscribe in order to secure
the result imperatively demanded for
the defense and security of the ma
ton"
$4,000 Free Of Tax.
Secretary McAdoo, explaining the
provision Of the bond bill governing
exemption Of Liberty loan bonds of
the second issue from surtax, an
nounced that, regardless of the
amount of bonds purchased by sim
gle individual or corporation, interest
on the first $4,000 worth would be
exempted from all taxation. Where
purchases exceed $4,000 worth of
bonds interest on the excess will be
subject to surtax.
