Intimations come forth-unofficial
intimations printed IN news columns
after "it is understood"- d"-that the
Victory Liberty Loan will consist
of three or four kinds of notes, to
wit: (1) One year per cent, tax
exempt; (2) three to five year AZ
per cent, with limited taxation; 90
a fully taxable issue at either Az
or per cent. What is most inter-
esting in these intimations is the
low rate Of interest fixed for the
fully tax exempt issue. A high rate
would leave it open to several grave
objections. 1t would be first of all
unfair to the subscriber in moderate
circumstances. He would derive
less advantage from the loan than
the rich subscriber. The ultra-rich
subscriber, in any event, derives ad-
vantage in proportion to his riches.
On the basis of the present income
tax schedule, if a man have an in
come of $58,000 or over he would
obtain, on the basis of the present
income tax schedule on 3 per cent
notes running for one year, an in
ccme equivalent to per cent yielded
by taxable securities; with an in
come of $4,000 or over he would
get 6 per cent; on 100000 income,
S.33 per cent; On income over ST.
100000, 13 per cent.
High as these rates are, what is
most fortunate is that they are
lower than the return theoretically
yielded by the present 3Ha per cent
bonds, if the present income tax
schedule were to last through the
life of those bonds. If the rate on
the new tax exempt securities were
higher, it might lead to heavy sell
ing Of the 3Has, and consequent de-
cline. 1t might also lead to heavy
selling of other securities, in order
to replace them with the tax cx-
empt issue. The policy of tax ex-
emption for it's bonds involves a
fundamental inconsistency in the
governments fiscal policy. With it's
right hand it levies taxes, and with
its left provides means for escap-
ing them. What is more unfortu
nate still, incomes can escape the
tax in proportion as they are "un-
earned"-that is, in proportion as
they come from returns for security
holdings. If persons full income
is derived from security holdings he
can escape the income tax wholly.
II his full income in any one year
is derived from payment for services
or ability he cannot escape any tax
at all.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-02

The $2O0,OOO,O0O of bonds to be
offered by the War Finance Cor
poration, beginning to-day, is ap-
parently to be used for the most
part to finance, not foreign trade,
but the railroads. There is an emer-
gency here which cannot wait until
the Victory Loan campaign is out of
the way. The issue may help to
maintain tight money" until after
the Victory Loan, but the necessity
for such an issue has been foreseen
for weeks. A further factor making
for firm money rates until the end
of the month is the issue of Treas
ury certificates of indebtedness next
Thursday. On the other hand. the
payment of the French governments
500, 900 two-year loan of 1917
yesterday was helpful in releasing
funds. The rate Of 5 per cent for
the War Finance Corporation bonds
does not necessarily indicate that
figure for the coming government
note issue. However, it is worth
while noting that the freedom from
normal income tax practically gives
these a yield of $40 per cent, as
compared with private corporation
securities.

The stubbornness of sterling ex-
change around $4.58 may indicate
either that the rate has already
fallen to its natural level, for the
time being, or that it is being sup
ported at that figure. 1t is rather
soon for the rate to have reached
its natural equilibrium; francs and
lire have continued erratic. The
British government could continue
to support sterling at gradually
lower levels until the natural level
were reached. AS the figure at
which sterling would be supported
approached the natural level, it
would require less and less money
to keep it stabilized.

The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling, say, at $4.5S. The intrinsic
parity IS $4.s6es per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are Mt a dis
count or that dollars are at premium
which is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle
accounts in England
