LONDON, Aug. 20.-The undercur-

that "if those who promoted the

Opponents of the league declare the
plans of the United States to in

league supporters insist America is
as much entitled to maintain sur

A very large proportion of the coun-
ties in the Southern States have adopt
ed the individual quota system for the
Victory Loan, and expect thereby to
distribute the investments in secuTl-
ties over wider ground. BY this Sys.
TEN. every citizen will be assigned a
definite quota which he is expected to
take, Just as states and counties have
their quotas. This will be based on
his income and property, and vii! be
subject to change by a local appeals
committee if he feels his quota has
been fixed at too high figure.
In previous campaigns, counties
which used the individual quota plan
went over the top quickly and by a
large margin, without placing the Dur
den of heavy investments on compar-
atively few patriotic citizens. This
plan makes every man feel certain that
his neighbor also is carrying his share
Of the obligation to his country.

ARE YOUR TAXES HEAVY?
THEY MAY BE HEAVIER YET

Probably every reader of this paper
finds his taxes bit higher than ne

to make out reports on income taxes
to the government, and have fHund
that six per cent takes a pretty heavy
slice out of what was left over on New
Years day. Many Of you had to Dor
row money to pay the taxes.
But this tax is nothing to what all
of us will have to pay if the Victory
Loan fails to 20 over. Uncle SANS
war bills must be paid. He prefers 10
borrow the money from US and pay US
back later on.
But if he can't borrow it, he must
take it-in the form of taxes.
IT'S like the difference between rent
;no q house for ten years or buying it
m the installment plan. In one case,
YOU wind up with a thick bundle Oh
rent receipts. In the other, you have
a deed to your home.
Isn't it better to lend your money TO
the Government at a fair rate OF in
terest than to pay it out in taxes
which never come back?
That's worth considering when tne
time comes to invest in Victory Bonos'
