LIBERTY BOND LESSONS By HOWARD STEER . Of Hincks Bros. & Go. ARTICLE NO. 5 The Other Side of the
 Fence
By HOWARD STEER Of Hincks Bros. & Go.
ARTICLE NO. 5

If all the 10000 Bridgeport owners of Liberty Bonds read last Mondays comparison of the taxation features of the two issues of bonds it is probably safe to say that 35,000 of them said to themselves, Well, that lets me out. Let the $5,000 man worry. guess I'll convert might as well be getting 4 per cent. as 1-2 per cent.'' As a matter of fact, so far as either kind of Liberty Bond is concerned, not
 even the $5,000 man need worry. Nor the $10,0O0 man, nor the $5O,000 man,
 nor the $75,000 man. The actual working out of the income tax law
 makes it necessary for man to have
 an income of more than $100,000 a
 year before the taxes on his per cent. Liberty Bonds would reduce their yield below the 3 1-2 per cent you are even safer than you thought you were last Monday.
 And yet when you said, 'Iet the other fellow worry" you gave voice to one big reason that lay back of your advice to be in no hurry about con- verting.
 We make most of our decisions and likewise most of our mistakes by look ing at a thing from just our own point
 of view. After all, it is just the burg lars method. He needs the money! And if you are in his way and get
 hurt-well, that's your lookout! And
 the biggest burglar of them all-the
 Imperial German government-ma
 the same kind of mistake when she
 rode rough-shod over little Belgium
 because forsooth, from her point of lview, 1t was case of military neces-
 city. What Belgium thought about
 1t didn't count-never even entered
 the Imperial Wooden Head.
 l Most of us have been out in the
 country at times and know the deli
 ctous feeling of security that the most ordinary kind of fence affords when
 suddenly great big bull with long horns seems bent on getting better
 acquainted with us on short notice l Now there is a mighty strong fence
 between you and the raging tax col
 lector so far as 4 per cent. Liberty Bonds are concerned. It is that $100,-
 900 yearly income-the one, you have
 not got!
 1 But suppose you just jump over
 that fence for moment and look at
 the scenery, including the tax col
 lector, from the other side As the I kiddies say, Let's pretend.'' Let's take
 a trip to fairy land and pretend we
 are rich. (Maybe we will get more fun out of it than if we really were. And now that, we are in this very
 select company let's see how many of us there are. The last report of the
