OFFERS BOND Plan
FOR ELEVEN BILLION
Chairman Kitchin Introduces
in House Administrations
Big Loan Bill.
DEBATE TO BEGIN TUESDAY

Representative Kitchin. chairman Of
House. formally presented the admins
tration's s11. 900, 900. 900 bond bill to the
House at noon today. 1t is planned to
take the measure up for debate on
Tuesday and pass it before adjournmen mt
Wednesday night.
The bill was completed by the com
mittee yesterday and is practically in
the form originally approved by Sec
retary McAdoo. The taxation feature,
which has a great bearing on the in
vestment worth of the proposed securi-
ties. was left where the administration
wanted it-that is. the bonds are sub
ject only to supertax and war taxes
and excess profits tax. This means that
persons with incomes under $1,000 will
not be taxed on bond interest until
such interest puts their income in the
$4,000 class, and at that the tax will
only touch the amount of income over
5000
Secretary's Argument.
The Secretary of the Treasury pointed
out to members who desired heavier
taxes that the bonds had to be sold and
that the saleability of the issue is as
great a feature as the need for taxes.
His argument also persuaded the COM
mittee not to limit the conversion fea-
lures of the bonds. Representative Hull
| and Representative Kitchin We're of the
| opinion that ii would be wise to allow
| the existing liberty bonds at 3 y per
cent to be converted to the proposed 4
| per cent issue, but after that no con-
| versions would be allowed. After pro-
| tracted discussion of this matter the
| committee finally put the matter with
| in the discretion of the Secretary of
| the Treasury.
| What the Bill Authorizes.
| The bill authorizes the issue of bonds
to the extent of s7.53s, 945,4 ,460; GER
| tif1cates of Indebtedness to run one
1 year, $4,000. 100000. war savings GER
| tifcates. $4,000. 100000. The bonds will
| bear per cent; the Secretary has dis
| cretion as to the rate of interest on
| the other two classes of securities. The
| war savings certificates will be issued
in denominations as low as S..
| 1t is planned to sell small savings

| sold at discount. That is. for exam
| pie. for s4.10 a certificate worth SIS
could be purchased. 1t would be re-
| deemable at IS at the end of it's term
Exploitation Fund Large.
| The bill provides for a large fund for

Extract From Decision.

There is. moreover. an additional
consideration of the weightiest charac-
ter which obliges the denial of such an
injunction as is here sought. An ap-
peal is made to an American court of
equity to oblige the postal authorities
of our country to contribute its mail
ing facilities for the furtherance and
success of propaganda against the
nation distinct as II is truculent and
dangerous. Under the familiar rule in
equity, such an appeal is addressed
largely to the discretion of the court. 1t
is to be determined by the conscience of
the chancellor, and always with proper
regard to the public welfare. This i'm
ports the country's welfare, and a
party seeking this extraordinary rem
edy, under rule equally familiar, must
come into court with clean hands
