MNMMNMNNNIMNNNMti ATTH folowing telegram from Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass explaining tax exemption features of the Victory Liberty Loan Act has been received ' by Governor James K. Lynch o the Federal Reserve Bank: " It is perhaps not generally understood that under the terms of Section II (a) of the Victory Liberty Loan Act the interest received on and after January 1, 1919, until the expiration of five years after the termination of the war, on an amount of bonds of the First Liberty Loan converted, the Second Liberty Loan converted and unconverted, the Third Loan and the Fourth Loan, the principal of which does not exceed $30,000 in the aggregate, owned by an individual, partnership, association or corporation, will be exempt from surtaxes, excess profits and war profits taxes now or hereafter imposed by the United States, upon the income or profits of individuals, partnership, associations or cor- porations. Not only is this exemption in addition to all other exemptions heretofore conferred, but it is independent of any subscription to the Victory Liberty Loan, and is immediately effective. The Victory Liberty Loan Act also contains a provision authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to extend the privilege of converting 4 per cent bonds of the First Liberty Loan converted and 4 per cent bonds of the Second Liberty . Loan into 44 per cent bond the higher interest rate to be effective from the interest payment semiannual date next succeeding the date of presentation for conversion. Having recommended that this conversion privilege be so extended, I shall, of course, very promptly exercise the authority thus conferred upon me and issue regulations covering the de- tails."

The agonized cries of Europe have reached America through the Red Cross commission to Europe and various European gov all of ernment organizations, which emphasize the imperative need of clothing of every description. The people of this region and every other part of the United States must answer those cries. During the last wreek of March the American Red Cross will un dertake the collection of 10,000 tons of used clothing for these sufferers. This is twice the tonnage that was collected on the two previous occasions.' But more than twice the demand and need exists this time. The people of America must give as they never gave before. Clothing, shoes and headgear is needed in unlimited quanities, declares Harvey D. Gibson, Red Cross commissioner to Europe. Herbert Hoover, chief of European Relief Administration joins in the appeal. In New Mexico, UtahWyomr ing and Colorado, the states comprising the Mountain division of the Red Cross,' 300 tons of used clothing must bp raised by the various Chapters, and Branches. This is 100 tonsFmore than appeals called for. Every Hind of garment, foj both sexes, is badly needed.

Figuring the Tax. Before figuring the normal tax the dividends are deducted aa credits from net Income, together with the personal exemption. As In previous years, dividends of domestic corporations are exempt from normal tax when received : by the stockholder. The normal tax rates for citizens and residents are as follows: On thd first $4,000 of net Income In excess of the credits the rate Is 6 per cent; on any further taxable income the rat w 18 per cent. The surtax rates apply to net Income of each Individual III excess of lfi.000. The personal exemption and tbe dividends are not dedqcllbla before computing surtax. Ip the case of return by husband and wife, the net Income of each Is considered separately (n computing any surtax that may be due. Form 1040 should be used for making returns of net Income exceeding $6,0OO, and the Instructions on that fora will show how to figure the surtax.
