While patriotism should be mad
the first cons Iteration in the matte
of buying bonds Ex-Governor Jane
H. Hawley points out that the bond
are by no means a poor investment
They bear per cent int rest says he
and are exempt from practically al
taxes. Liberty bonds up to $4,000 ar
exempt from all taxes" said the gov
ernor "and in addition all holding
are exempt from local taxes, which ar
by far tn ehcaNiest taxes one has t
pay. The normal income tax does no
apply to the bonds. no matter hoy
many one owns. | say that for
man with money it would be hard t
find a cleaner and better investment
but there is always the considerable
of loyalty to ones country. Tha
alone should loosen the purse string
and bring forth enough money to bu
double the amount of bonds that mus
be subscribed in Idaho
