w V- ' ;.--, 'V : ':Va GOSSIP OF PERMANENTEXPERT SALES FORCE FOR FUTURE GOVERNMENT LOANS Governor of the New Makes First Move Gossip of ' A SUGGESTION made In tills column during the second Liberty Loan campaign, In reference to tho formation of n permanent bond Bales forco In connection with the Federal Itescrvo banks, made up of picked men who had shown special ability In the two Liberty Loan campaign, to dispose of Government securities at nil times, Is being put Into execu tion by tho New York Federal Ilcscrve Hank. It appears that Governor Strong, of the New York Federal Itcscrvo Hank, has addressed a loiter to a number of prominent Investment houses who donated gratuitously tho services of their men to the committees In chargo of the two Liberty Loan campaigns, asking them to leport tho names of men whom they desired to see placed with tho reserve bank's force, which will be placed nt tho disposal of tho Liberty Loon Committee when the next loan ap pears. Tho letter also Indicated that tho Federal lleservo Hank was preparing to relievo the firms of part of tho expense entailed In keeping up their organization. Bond men who had heard of this action by the New Yoik Federal Reserve Bank spoko very favorably of tho action, as tho matter of building up a permanent expert foico In connection with tho salo of Government securities was very freely discussed at the tlmo of the second campaign here. Distributing the War Tax Load Tho purchaso by the United States Steel Corporation of UJO.OOO.OOO of United States Government certificates of Indebtedness, which It will hold until next June, for tho purpose of distributing tho enormous war taxes which tho corporation will be called upon to pay over n sulllclcnt period so us to prevent a financial strain at any one period, Is nn cxamplo which could well be followed by other firms nnd corporations over tho country with profit and convenience. Many of our local banks, notably tho, Corn Exchange Dank. Chestnut nt Second street, have sent out warn ings to their customers not to omit creating n fund largo enough to meet theso taxes, so that their payment may not create an unusual strain. This particular bank has shown tho way by totting aside largo amounts from tlmo to tlmo to meet Its own taxes. In purchasing these $230,000,000 worth of certificates, Elbert II. Gary, chairman of tho corporation, said: "The corporation thoroughly believes In theso Government certifi cates.. We aro holding them for next June. That shows how we feel. "Hlg taxpayers will bo doing their country and the business com . munlty u great service In responding generously to the new offering of certificates of Indebtedness. It Is highly necessary that tho payment of the hugo war taxes bo distributed over n sulllclcnt period of time. If wo aro to avoid strain and confusion at u tlmo when It Is most necessary that our economic and financial machinery should bo working smoothly. "As for tho securities themselves, I need hardly do more than point to the example of the Steel Corporation's Investment In them as proof of my recommendation. They havo tho security of tho United States be hind them, they bear 4 per cent Interest nnd they allow tho Investor ccr- tain tax-exemption privileges. He . In them do both hlmselt nnd his country a favor." Farm Loan Misunderstanding Explained Tho recent agitation in tho press regarding tho Federal farm loan system yesterday brought out tho following comment by an investment banking houso which has been thoroughly familiar with the system since Its Inception: "Tho Farm Loan Board at the tlmo the system was put Into operntlon was allowed under tho terms of the act n difference of not exceeding 1 per cent per annum between tho rnto nt which bonds were Issued nnd tho rate charged farmers. This was known to bo less than the cost of begin ning and operating tho system during Its early stages, but It was nssumed that farm-loan bonds would advance In price to such an extent that n liberal profit would be afforded to tho land banks, nnd that this profit, together with the one-half of 1 per cent per annum between the bond rate of 4V4 per cent nnd the mortgago rate of G per cent, would suffice to operate tho system. The system, of course, is not designed to bo a money making scheme, but to loan money to legitimate farming interests at a consistent nnd reasonable rate. With tho changing market conditions the expected premium on the bonds did not materialize. In fact, it became evident that In order to sell n large volume of bonds it would havo to bo reduced. Therefore tho board determined so that the farmers would not assume they were going to get mortgage money at 5 per cent to servo notice that tho rate hereafter would be 5V4 per cent. This will apply to nil loans which wcro not arranged for p-lor to tho serving of tha.. notice. This has been assumed by somo newspapers, nnd some politicians for political reasons, to presage an Increase In tho rate borno by farm-loan bonds. Tho actual fact is that tho Farm Loan Board docs not contem ' plate any chnngo in the rate of tho bonds. "The Government has recognized how highly Important It Is to en courage tho production of foodstuffs, and this fact Is well known by the entlro public. The Government also recognizes that the best way to encourage the production of foodstuffs Is to see that lcgltlmato farming Interests receive loans wherever they nre entitled to them. To that end there Is now pending In Congress n bill, which has the approval of tho Administration, authorizing tho purchase by the Secretary of the Treasury of not exceeding $100,000,000 of farm-loan bonds during tho year 1918. It In nil probability will become a law. having already been passed by tho Senate. Under Its operation the banks will be enabled to contlnuu to mako loans and tho Treasury of the United States will absorb tho bonds as Issued, and they will be allowed to come on tho market only as tho Investment de.nand justifies. Tho passago of this act Is important to tho Treasury Department also, because It will automatically prevent any clash between tho. marketing of farm-loan bonds and tho Govern ment financing Itself. "Certain newspaper articles would Indicate to any one not familiar , with tho Federal farm loan system nnd Its operations that tho system was financially embarrassed. In fact, somo statements are mado that It was tending toward Insolvency. Nothing could bo further from the facts. The only thing that tho farm loan system will bo confronted with .In caso Congress refuses to authorize tho Treasury Department to buy tho bonds as stated above would be a cessation of new loans to farmers. In other words, one might Jui(. as well say that because a savings bank momen tarily had no funds which It could loan out to peoplo wanting tho money on. real estate mortgages It was insolvent. The system up to this tlmo is undoubtedly operating very smoothly and bids fair to bo of untold benefit to tho small farming Interests throughout tho entlro country." Bonuses Exempt in Income Taxation The decision of Commissioner of Internal Revenue Danlc.1 C. Itopcr In reference to the taxation of persons whose incomes uro dir'ved ln part from gifts or bonuses will bo welcomed ln many quarters. It Is to tho effect that "special payments, sometimes denominated gifts or bonuses, made by corporations, partnerships or Individuals to officers or employes, will constitute allowable deduction from proas Income ln ascertaining net income for tho purposo of tho Income tax, when such ' payments are made In good faith and as additional compensation for tho tervlces actually rendered by tho ofllcers or employes." Tho decision ' further goes on to say that "special payments mado to ofllcers or em- "j - ployes, although in the form of additional salaries or compensation, will 1 be regarded as a special distribution' of profits or compensation for tho l, capital Invested and .not as payment for services rendered. If the amount Kr of 'such payments Is based upon or bears a closo relationship to the stock t holdings of such officers or employes or to tho capital Invested by them f Iri business." In this latter case payments made under such conditions I'a '. partako of'the nature of dividends or distributions of dividends and will I not bo. deductible from gross Income.

When It is taken Into consideration that of this amount $2,000,000,000 will probably be raised ' by war-saying stamps, the deduction that tho next loan may be $8,000, ' 'OPp.000 Is simple.
