ATTRACTIVE TAX EXEMPTION
 VICTORY LOAN FEATURE

A financial paper published in Bos- i ton makes an explanation of the tax exemption features of the Victory loan showing how it is possible for a per son to be an owner of $l60,000 worth of Liberty bonds exempt from sur tax eS, excess and war profit taxes.
 Banking men of Norwich look upon this feature as one that will be great inducement to large purchasers of Vic tory bonds and one that will sell many bonds to large investors.
 This explanation is {, iven as follows:
 Although the 1 3-4 per cent notes are subject to SurtaxeS anG excess and war profits taxes, it is well to bear in mind that by virtue of the Victory Lib erty iOan act further exemptions are extended to holders of Liberty bonds. Under previous Liberty Loan laws possible aggregate of $11U,GJ8 on Sec | ond, Third and Fourth Liberty Loan bonds could be exempt from surta&es, etc, until two years after ternina- l tion of the war.
 l The new measure extends two more l tax exemption privileges. In addition l to the foregoing exemptions and for a period of five years after the terniin- l ation of the war (not two years) the l interest on the aggregate amount or S30,G00 of the First Liberty Loan con- Verted, Second Liberty Loan converted | and uncOnVerted, and the Third and Fourth Liberty loan owned by any in- dividual. corporation, etc, is exempt as to super taxes. This exemption only applies on interest received on and aft CT January 1, 1919. Then another principal of $20,000 of
 bonds mentioned in the preceding par
 agraph is exempted as to the surtaX-
 es, etc. on interest received after Jan 1 last. by virute of an original suo-
 scription to Victory Liberty Loar
 notes. But claim for such exemption
 cannot be made by any holder to ar amount of such bonds exceeding three times the principal amount of his subscription to the Victory Libert!
 loan. To participate to the extent O . the aggregate of $20, 900 therefore, z subscriber must purchase $6,650 of th' new notes.
 Thus, through the further exemp tions provided by the Victory Libert. loan act it is possible for an owner 0 Liberty bonds, other than the 3 1-2s ; to be exempt from surtaXes, excess ani ! war profit taxes to an aggregat amount of $160,000.
