' TAXES VS ‘BONDS
Our Government has two means of paying for the war, taxes,
and mor gaging the future (bonds) and it has adopted both
means in order to equalize the burden.
B.uying bonds meaus lending your Government a part of the
money you htve mile during he past several years in order
that the national debt may be paid over a period of many
years instead of at one time.

usually high for a long time
