TAXU.S. NOTES
War Loan Act Prevents Levy,
Declares Treasury Chief.
Bankers Plan Test.

officials OF the Treasury Depart
ment today expressed the opinion the
District government cannot legally
tax the income on Liberty Bonds or
Treasury certificates.
"such bonds and certificates are eS'
empt, both as 10 principal and inter
est, iron, all taxation, not only by the
Uaited states. but by any state or
local taxing authority" declared As
sistunt Secretary of the Treasury D. H.
Gilbert today.
Mr.. Gilbert then called attention TO
the war loan act OF September, 1911
which provides that income from Lab
erty Bonds and Treasury certificates
shall be exempt from taxation.
"Of course" said Mr.. Gilbert" there
is nothing to stop the District gov
ernment from taking the matter into
the court and having a decision rend-
\ cred as to whether this would be
| franchise tax or an income tax, hut
there In no question In my mind that
liberty bonds and treasury certificates
cannot be taxed by any local taxing
auth orities."
PROPOSAL A SURPRISE.
Treasury officials and Washington
bankers generally appear to be great
: ly surprised at the attitude taken by
the District government In wanting
to tax the income on liberty bonds
apd treasury certificates. According
TO them, II was clearly the intention
OF Congress when it passed the war
loan act that such incomes not only
should not be taxed by the United
States, but by "any State or by any
local taxing authority"
The Washington Bankers Associa-
ton will hold a meeting tomorrow 70
act upon the report to be submitted
| by Frank j. Hogan. it's counsel, 10
/ whom the question OF the legality OF
the proposed tax was reforred.
| II is understOod that the District
taxing authorities base their conten-
tion that the income from the Liberty
bonds and treasury certificates can
be taxed on n decision handed down
by the District Supreme Court In 1905
This suit was brought by a Washing
ton bank TO recover taxes paid on
| Government bonds. The court then
| held the tax was "a franchise tax and
not an income tax.
TEST CASE PROBABLE.
In view of this decision the Dis,
trict authorities claim there is moth
ing for them to do but collect the
tax, unless a test case is brought and
| a higher court reverses the decision
| Prominent bankers today said q
| test case will be made in court i'm
mediately after the next tax payment
which is due next spring. They said
nothing less than a United States Su-
preme Court decision would satisfy
them, inasmuch as the question in
wolves millions of dollars.
1t was declared it would be an us,
fair discrimination to tax the Wash
ingt bankers income from Liberty
bonds, and not the individual, wher
the bankers could have invested theii
millions Of dollars in better paying
propositions than the interest on Lib
erty bonds and Treasury certificates

FLOUR IS CHEAPER.
Price Has Dropped 10 Cents on q 12L
Pound bag in Wilmington.

Flour in Wilmington has dropped 1C
cents on a 1219-pound bag. Retailers
are now asking $l.15, against 81 .25 be-
fore the recent sharp decline in the price
of wheat. In some cities, Baltimore for
instance, drcp of 81 barrel is reported.
No such reduction is recorded by Will
mington wholesalers.
A barrel of -four is quoted at 314 by
local wholesalers. This is only a 50-cent
drop per barrel from prices of a week ago,
and brings the price down to approxi-
mately 912 cents a pound.
One reason why the price OF flour has
not followed more closely the decline in
price of wheat, wholesalers here report, is
car shortage.
There will be no reduction in the price
of bread, local bakers say, unless there is
still further drop in the price of -four.
A drop of so cents barrel, OF oven 50,
would not enable them to reduce the price
of loaf more than a mere fraction of a
cent, they contend. In addition, the cost
of production Is continually rising, owing
tQ increased cost for coal, gas and labor,
they point out.
Some of the bakors admit that there
may be drop in prices between now and
