NOTES ON SALE
The new notes, of a type never
marketed before by the federal
government, went on sale at the
Treasury and the IL Federal Re-
serve Banks. but with all banks
authorized to handle orders for
their customers.
Secretary Morgenthau said the
primary purpose was to offer
them to taxpayers "for their con-
venience in setting aside regular
ly the funds which will be re-
quired to meet the unprecedent-
ed taxes they will pay next year
on this years income"
The notes were designed 50
that purchasers can turn them
back to the Treasury, with a lit
tie interest the Treasury will pay
as an inducement for purchases,
in payment of any income or ex-
cess profits taxes due after jan
/, 1912.
OWN JUDGE
The Treasury will accept none
Of the notes before that date.
After that date the notes will be
redeemed only if they have been
held for three months or more.
Every taxpayer will have to be
his own judge on whether he
wants to buy any of the notes or
how many. However, if anyone
buys more than he needs next
year for taxes, he can hold them
for the following year, or turn
them in for cash. If held, inter-
est will be paid up to Aug. l,
1913. If redeemed for cash, how
ever, the Treasury will refund
only the purchase price, without
interest.
NOT TRANSFERABLE
The notes will bear the name
of the purchaser and will not be
transferable to or saleable to
anyone but the Treasury. Tech
nically, they will be treated as
part of the public debt until re-
deemed for either taxes or cash.
They will be subject to all feder-
al taxes and also state and local
estate, gift or excise taxes, but
not state or local income @ or
property taxes.
The new notes will be of two
types.
TWO TYPES i.
&. The "A" series for small tax
payers will be sold in units of
$25, $50 and $1OO, and will bear
Is cents interest for every $1OO
for every month from the time
purchased until turned in for
every 500 for every month from
the time purchased until turned
in for taxes. The limit on the
sale of these will be $1,000 per
year per customer. The interest
equals 1872 per cent.
Bigger taxpayers can buy "B"
notes in denominations of 500,
$500, 81 900, $4,000 or $780,
600. The interest on these will
be 4 cents per 500 per month.
This is the equivalent of .48 per
cent interest.
To enable uniform redemp-
ton values on the notes, they
will be sold at face value during
August, and in following months
at face value plus the accumu-
lated interest.
