Liberty Loan bonds of the second is- sue bear 4 per cent interest and have the same tax exemptions as the first, except that they are liable to super income taxes and excess profits tax es. They are not subject to the nor- nal income tax. Tha reasons for the change of interest and taXability arc stated by Secretary McAdoo in his speech before the American Bankers association as follows:
 "We can not sell bonds in billions on basis of what they may be worth to th' very rich. They must be offered Ito all the people alike at one price and should appeal to all alike and upon equal terms. The results of selling bond which bears a low rate of interest and carries conception from graduated and superncome tax
 es will be this: The poor and the peo
 pie of modest means will buy them for patriotic reasons but will be unable
 to hold them because the return is too small. The tendency will be all the time for these bonds to be purchased , from them and accumulated by the very rich without any adequate con- sideration moving from them either to
 the United States or to the original subscriber. In these circumstances l the value of the tax exemption de-
 bends not upon the bonds themselves

The change in plans is accepted with

of them had commissions in the Ma
