THE TERMS OF THE
LIBERTY LOAN
The act authorizing the Liberty
Loan Bonds of 1917 was passed April
24, 1917. It provides for the issuance
of $5,000,000,000 of 3 per cent bonds
the interest payable semiannually on
December 15 and June 15 of each
year. The principal is repayable on
or after the 15th day of June, 1932, at
the option of the Government, and if
this option is not exercised the bonds
will run full 30 years and become due
June 15, 1917. .
The bonds are exempt both as to
principal and interest from all taxa
tion, National, State, county or mu
nicipal, except the inheritance tax,
which is really not a tax on the prop
erty, but on the transfer of property
by will or inheritance.
The bonds are to be sold at par;
that is, dollar for dollar, no premium
and no discount. They are to be sold
by the Treasurer of the United States
and by all Federal Reserve banks. But
all banks, National and State, post
offices, and express companies have
been designated as agents of the Gov
prnm.nit to receive amplications for
these bonds. It is almost as easy to
purchase one of these bonds as it ifl
to get a post-office money order.
It is not necessary to pay cash in
full for a bond. One can pay down 2
per cent of the purchase price on ap
nlication that is, $1 for a $50 bond,
$2 for a $100 bond, etc 18 per cent.
on July 25, 1917; 20 per cent July rfu,
1917; 30 per cent August 15, 1917;
and the balance, 30 per cent, August
30, 1917.
A number of the freight- house men
have received a substantial increase in
wages this week. ,
