'-: t .-
tate Board of Equalization
Hands Dewn Opinion on
War Bonds Bought From
. Undivided Profits.
'Liberty boftds owned by banks and
trust companies ar taxable, by the
state of Nebraska if these bonds have
been purchased from the' surplus or
undivided profits, according to an
opinion handed down bj the state
I board of equalization and assessment.
Only when the bank or trust com
pany? can show that Liberty bonds
have been purchased from the-capital
stock are' the bonds to be exempt
vfrom taxation. '
J "It is undoubtedly the policj of the
rata hnarri nf pallatization." savs
County Clerk Dewey, chairman of
the county board of equalization, "to
induce banks and trust companies to
regard Liberty bonds as a permanent
investment and -have them purchase
from the capital stock of the bank,
rathef than from the surplus and
profits from which mortgages and
other more or less temporary invest
ments are paid for.
- ? Would Exempt Bonds.
( -"But why raise the question from
what source the bonds are paid for?
f" What we want is to get the money in
V vested in Liberty - bonds. I myself
J would exempt all Liberty bonds, no
t matterwhat money is used to pay for
J them"

Maj.-Gen. Hunter Liggett is slated
to command the" first United States
army corps, which is being organized
in France, according to information
from Washington. General Liggett is
59 years old and has served in the
army 37 years.
taxation in Douglas county is involved
in the matter.
Mr. Dewey pointed out that Oma
ha banks and banks everywhere are
having great difficulty in lending
their money. So they have invested
much of their cash in Liberty bonds,
until now practically every bank in
Omaha has over $100,000 invested in
the bonds.
"If a bank or an individual can in
vest $100,000 in ' non-taxable
mortgages or ordinary government
bonds, why shouldn't they be offered
the same inducement to invest $100,
000 in Liberty bonds?" asks Mr.
Dewey.
Instructions sent to the Douglas
county board by O. E. Bernocker,
secretary, of the state board read as
follows:
Permanent Investment.
"It is the sense of the board that
Liberty bonds owned by banks be
j listed by local and county assessors,
and that banks present their claims
for exemption to the county board of
equalization. That to be deducted
from taxable assets it must be shown
by verified statement that such bonds
are tor permanent investment.
"It is therefore the duty of the
county assessor not to deduct Lib
erty bonds from the capital stock of
iany bank or trust company, but said
banks may appear and be granted
' such relief as is just and equitable
' Heal estate niorgtages cannot be de
ducted from capital stock."
To discuss the question with
Omaha banks and trust companies a
meeting will be held in the effien of
the county board of equalization next
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock.

Mother Died on Thursday
Mrs. Ida Stockwell, for many years
