The Three Requirements
of a Good Investment
The three cardinal requirements of every invest
ment, particularly bonds, are Safety, Marketability
and return. " .
How do these requirements apply to the Liberty
Bonds? '.',.
SAFETY Behind the U. S. national debt of
about 3 billion dollars .including this issue, is an esti
mated wealth of 250 bill ion dollars. Our present debt
per capita is about $30 as compared to a debt per
capita before the war of $1G2 in France and $75 in
Great Britain. Our wealth per capita is now estimat
ed at about $2500, as compared with $1750 in Great
Britain, $1519 in Germany arid $1522 in France. Our
yearly income is estimated at about 400 times the
annual interest charges on our total debt, including
the present 2 billion dollar issue.
MARKETABILITY United States government
bonds have always commanded an immediate market
even inMImes of great financial stress. They are so
salable that they are known among bond houses as
about the only bonds that "can bo sold on Sunday."
The conversion privilege of the Liberty bonds allows
the holder, without expense to him, to exchange his
bonds into any new bonds issued during the war bear
ing a higher rate of interest. Such a privilege makes
it practically certain that in the event of the govern
ment issuing more bonds, which must be sold at par,
the holder of this issue will then be able to get par for
his bonds. . In the event of the war ending in a reas
onable time, these bonds should then sell consider
ably above their present price."
RETURN' In view of their safety and marketability-,
it is self-evident that the Liberty Bonds, free
of all taxes except inheritance tax and paying 3i per
cent and perhaps more, yield a J air return.

SALEM, June 8. Twenty-eight
counties inOregon have returned a
tot nl registration of .'15,71)8. With
eight counties and the city of Port
land to be reported, every indication
points to a total registration xvell
under the estimate placed on the
state by the xx'ar department.
This is due partially to the fact
that the population of tlie state xvus
estimated at 802,'j:i9, which probably
is excessive, and to the fact that, ac
cording to the estimate of Adjutant
General White, tlie state is nctitled
to a credit of between !000 nnd
0(100 men already iu the service. - The
population, as shoxvn by the 1!)10
ensns, xvus uiAibu.
l'otalnd's lteglstration.
Under tho xvnr department's esti
mate, Portland is credited xx-itli a pop
ulation of .'1(18,3!)!), xvith its quota of
registration at 47,782. Portland';, rejr-
istratiou, complete xx'ith the exception
of precinct No. 41, totals only 18,110.
With this heavy reduction irom the
estimate, the states registration will
he f0 per cent under the oslimalc,
since in the majority of Slates the war
department figures exceed' actual reg
istralions. Exemptions claimed exceed by 1
good majority the (funis signed as
free from exemptions, nl 24 conn
ties tbo exemptions numbered l.",004,
in the total registration of 20.850,
leaving 11,252 nonclaimnnts of ex
