SMALL BOND HOLDER
MISSES BIG FEATURE
Does Not Realize That All Issues
He Owns Are Free From Tax

Bfnanciers studying the market con-
ditions with regard In particular to
Liberty Bond figures find that a great
many Of the bond transactions are in
itiated by persons who do not under
stand the statutes which safeguard
the various issues of bonds.
For instance, small holders have
been selling their and AZ per cent
bonds in order to buy the 31s per cent
bonds OF the First loan, because the
siAs are completely exempt from tax.
AS matter OF fact. for the small In.
vestor, the Do and AIS carry the same
freedom from taxation, practically.
No tax now In existence or later to be
levied can affect the 4s or Ans unless
the holder owns $4,000 worth or more.
Hence, the great majority of the
small investors pay no tax on the
bonds Of the Second or Third issues
The Wall Street Journal recently
said:
More to be deplored is the general
lack OF appreciation of the ultimate
value of the Liberty Bond, no matter
OF what description. All the econom-
los OF war and finance point to govern
ment bonds as the most far-sighted
and soundest investment a person can
make during these times. Investing in
government bonds now is buying with
cheap money call on dear money in
the future"
The Journal says further that the
Treasury Department is watching with
keen eye every piece of legislation
which has to do with government
finance and nothing gets It's approval
which would have any tendency to
make anything more desirable as an
investment than the Liberty Bonds
The trend in market quotations on
Liberty Bonds, relatively few of which
are being sold, has been steadily
toward higher levels.

Until Crimes Are Expiated
Peace Is Impossible.
BY Octave Forsant, Superin-
tendent of Schools In
Rheims, France.

To have pillaged and burned Will
ages, as have seen, to have lombard
ed hospitals, poisoned springs, and,
without any military justification, to
have devastated whole regions and
destroyed the artistic treasures of
mankind; to have killed women and
mutilated children, during the years
when the populations were held con-
quered; to have cast aside, in the
name of God but with Satanic use of
science, the warriors virtues and
substituted for them, premeditated and
wholesale assassination; there is the
work of the German military caste.
So long as such crimes shall not
have been expiated, the war MUST
continue; so long as humanity can
fear the return of similar atrocities,
peace is IMPOSSIBLE.
In order to preserve, from the bar
barians, the precious victories of a
civilized world; in order to guarantee
our children against the universal op-
preston of brutal force; in order to
assure the rule of liberty, of justice,
and of right; in order to SAVE THE
WORLD, subscribe to Liberty Bonds.

A GOOD "No-sTRIKE" TEST

Seattle,-The Seattle Union Record
suggest that newspapers should be
accurate when they say the A. F. of l.
is against strikes because it has de-
clared: Do nothing that you cannot
justify to the man on the firing line
in France"
"This pledge means" says the Union
Record, "that there will be no strike
that cannot be justified to the soldiers
in France. 1t is possible that there
might be a strike that could be more
than justified to the men in the front
line trenches.
American trade unionists have
their hearts and souls in this war
They want to do their very best and
their very most. And they want con
ditions that will permit them to give
their best and the most of it.
IF there were no employers who
wanted to profiteer; if there were only
employers who would do nothing that
could not be justified to the men or
the firing line, there probably woulC
not be one lost moment in the ma.
chinery of production.

Everything must be square with the

and that "union" maintained by the

One witness testified that an in

he joined the brotherhood he received
60 demerit marks. When an employe
receives this number of demerits he is
