LIBERTY LOAN VALUES ?
(PH4>M INIIIAKAIDIJK NKWN).
That Liberty bonds arc worth till that they cost, which
was par, and will be worth wore than they cost eventually,
thrifty financiers know and are buying up the bonds that
foolish owners offer below par. This is the way many fortunes
ware unworthily maths during the f?ivil War. I ntil recently
IIOIIP of the Lilwrty bond issues were quoted at par, and the
lowest quotations which were for the 4 per conts, were well
down in the nineties. Then the increasing demand for the
3 1-2 [ er cents, the first issue, began to push the price up
• id it has been as high as 102.50. This issue is exempt from
all taxes except inheritance taxes, and if a man's income were
solely from su< h bonds, and it amounted to $100,000—or any
other amount, for that matter a year, he would have no in-
come taxes to pay. tiIIIH it will be seen that they are val
liable holdings for large income taxpayers, especially at this
time of high income taxation, because they bring to the hold-
er .'I 1-2 per cent net. Undoubtedly many of them have been
picked up at [trices below par by such persons, and this has
caused iin increasing scarcity of offerings that has enhanced
Ik,, price. That these )>onds will go higher there seems to be
) ttle doubt.
The other two issues of 4 and 4 1-2 per cent have similar
tax exemptions, except that they are only exempt for $5,000
o? their income to one holder. For persons of smaller incomes
however, they are just as valuable investments as the 3 1-2 per
cents to persons of larger incomes and even more valuable,
because they pay somewhat more interest. The safety of the
investment is the same in either ease.
That the price of all these bonds will eventually go above
par there is little doubt, considering their income tax exemp-
tions. United States 3 per cent bonds issued long before the
war, are quoted at 99 3 4, and tho still older 4 por cents are
<inoted at 10(5 1-2, and none of tliese bonds has the advantage
of income tax exemption.
The fourth Liberty Loan drive will soon begin, and there
will be another opportunity for all investors, and especially
Maall investors, to put more money into these unusually de
m ruble securities.
