FINAL WEEK FOR DRIVE FOR
LIBERTY LOAN BONDS NOW ON;
LOCAL BANKS ARE THE AGENTS
Seward banks are prepared to accept subscriptions
now for the second issue of the Liberty Loan bond and
will continue to take subscriptions up to and including
next Saturday, October 27tb, at noon, but not afterwards.
Here are some points regarding the loan bonds:
AMOUNT AND CONDITIONS OF BONDS—The is
sue is for $3,000,000,000; interest I per cent., interest be
gins Nov. 15, 1915, and payab'e semi-annually on May 15
and November 15 of each year; principal payable Novem
ber 15,1942, with an option to pay them after ten years.
AUTHORIZATION—The issuance of the bonds was
authorized by Act of Congress, approved September 24.
1917.
DENOMINATIONS — The bonds will be issued in
either registered or coupon bonds, in denominations of
$50, $100, $500, $5000, and $10,000; registered bonds only
will be issued in denominations of $50,000 and $100,000.
The interest on registered bonds will be paid to those in
whose names the bonds are registered. The interest on
coupon bonds will be paid to the person or bank who pre
sents the coupon—in other words due and past due inter
1 est coupons will be treated as Government checks payable
to bearer.
TAX EXEMPTIONS—These bonds will not be sub
ject to taxation either as to principal or interest by the
United States, any State or Territory or any American
possession, or by any local taxing authority, provided that
where more than 5,000 are held by any one person, copart
nership, association or corporation, they may be taxed for
“additional” income or “surtaxes”; for excess profits and
war profits. This would mean that they are exempt from
ordinary income or other taxes, but are subject to the ad
ditional taxes for war purposes. Where the amount of
; bonds held by one person, co-partnership, association or
| corporation does not exceed $5,000, there will be complete
exemption from all kinds of taxes.
CONVERTIBLE—Should the United States during
the continuation of the war issue bonds bearing a higher
rate of interest than four per cent, these bonds may be
converted into the bonds bearing the higher rate, what
ever it may be.
TERMS OF PAYMENT—Two per cent, with the ap
plication; 18 per cent, on November 15; 40 per cent, on
December 15 and 40 j)er cent, on January 15, 1918, with
deferred interest from November 15 to date of payment
on deferred installments. If the purchaser desires he may
pay the fuli amount with his subscription for all purchase
up to $1,000. In that case he will receive the fully paid,
interest-bearing bond November 15th. If full payment is
made on November 15, there will be no interest charge.
On payments delayed until December 15 or January 15.
interest on deferred payments from November 15 must
be paid in addition. All the bonds will bear interest from
November 15.
REMEMBER — Seward banks will accept subscrip
tions up to and including the hour of NOON, October 27,
1917.
Look for additional information tomorrow.
