STEW UBERTY BOND IDS EI UP "VHUQ ram UCIUI CUES OREGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1918 INTEREST DUE EXPLANATION GIVEN' MY LOCAL HANKER REGARDING INTER KMT ON DKFKRRKD PAYMENTS MANY INQUIRIES) MADE That the requirement that Interest on tho' deferred Installments paid by subscribers to tho Third Liberty Loan Is not well understood Is evi denced by a letter received by one of the banks from a ciutomor. Ho says:' "I am sending you theS1.95 which you claim I owe the government. Now there Is one thing tbat I don't understood, and that Is, why docs the government expect mo to pay In terest on my own money thut I am loaning the government? I thought that -I was the one to receive the Interest. It Is t something new to me to loan money to another und pay Interest on it myself. I saw and said that they did not pay any Interest; In fact, all of my neigh bors have told me that they hadn't been requested to pay interest. .Mr. told me that-K be--was In my place ho wouldn't pay It. Ho was ono of the solicitors and he should know about, the laws concerning Lib erty Donds," We are Informed by a representa tive of the banks, that the misappre hension regarding this matter Is due, largely, to tho circumstances tbat the Third Liberty Loan campaign In Oregon was launched without the receipt by the precinct captains and tho other solicitors, of Instructions concerning the requirement that In terest should bo paid ou the deferred installments. Consequently, tho so licitors tfacniHolWH. were Ignorant of this requirement. The campaign was finished In Klamath county within a few days, with, great credit to the people of the county, tho quo ta being more than twice exceeded. Many persons paid cash outright for their bonds; these, of course, would have no Interest to pay. It was not until the banks recelvod detailed In structions from tho government headquarters, after the campaign was well under way, that It became known that Interest would be re quired. However, when subscribers under stood that their bonds, even tho paid tor In Installments, draw,!nterest on the full amount of tho bond from May 9th, 1918, at 4 per cent, and will be returned to them when they cash their first Intorest coupons, they are usually satisfied. Fo rexample, a man who sub scribed for a 6100, bond on the in- stallment plan, paid but $0.00 cash with his subscription. Altho ho was not called -upon to pay tho -next In stallment until May 38th. 'his bond began drawing Interest on the full 6100 on May 9th., On May 38th, ho paid 180; on July 18tb, 135 ,and on August 15tb, $40. With this latest payment, when he is asked by the government to pay 78 cents Interest on the deferred payments, his bond has already earned him 61.13 inter est. Tho first Interest payment, which, in the case of a $100 bond, Is $1.40, will be payable to subscribers on September 15th. The coupons must be clipped from the bonds', and will be cashed at their face value by any bank, or by any merchant 'whp un derstands their value. The banks do not receive, this in terest on their own account, but o account of tho government. Indeed, tho banks wero required to complete payment' in, full of their subscribers' bond on August 16th'. and did so, remitting hundreds of dollars tor In terest, a large part of which they had (Continued on page ,4) EXPLMNED minor REAGHINE SEA KVAt'UATlON OF MERV1LLK TA KKN AH PROOF OF THIS BRIT IHH CONTINUK ADVANCE TO DAY YANKH TAKE HUNS (Dy Associated Preas) WITH THE niUTISH ARMY, Aug. 20.
