WAR SAVINGS STAMPS NON.
TAXABLE.

When preparing for the issuing
Of Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Certificates the national administra-
tration very wisely decided that
they should not be subject to any
taxes, federal, state or local. In
this respect they are entirely
unique, being free when almost ev-
erythins else is subject to impost.
As the amount that an individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this
concession does not deal unjustIy
toward other security holders.
1t is simply an inducement to the
small investor to make an unusual
effort in his own and his country's
behalf by depositing as much of his
surplus with the government as
possible. Those who buy these lit
tie bonds-and all should do IL
should understand in advance of
the coming days of taxation return
in Aprii that whatever OF their
earned savings or surplus derived
from economies is converted into
Thrift Stamps or War Savings Ger
tifIcates n ed not be recorded upon
the assessors blank. AS the inter
est ard principal are payable in
1923, neither is it necessary to
make mention of the investments
in the return to the income tax col
lector.
They are, as stated, absolutely
free and, as they also pay q per
cent compound interest, are the
best securities that one can buy in
these troubled times.
