Liberty Bond Taxation.

The possibility of increased tax exemp-
ton for corporation holdings of Liberty
bonds as a result Of certain provisions
In the new tax law is being studied by
competent authority. The theory ad-
vanced in one quarter yesterday was
that 1t permits on it's face an exemption
from taxation OF holdings Of Liberty
bonds by corporations to any amount
held, although It Is admitted that 1t does
not alter the status Of individuals In
that respect. 1t may require judicial
decision to interpret the new law and
the theory Is published merely as a mat

further advance In taxable Libertys was
