WASHINGTON. D. C., August 17.»
To permit business interests to pro‘
vide in advance for income and profits
taxes due next year under the reven-
ue bit now being framed. Secretary
McA on last night announced that an
ind nlte amount of certificates of in-
d tedness bearing four per cent. in-
terest and acceptable in payment of
taxes in 1919, would be issued imme-
diately. These certificates, similar in
terms to those floated in antleipati‘n
of tax collections earlier this own.
are to take the place of the usual bi-
weekly issue of loan certificates, an.
nouncement of which was due yester-;
day. §
I in effect, the offering of ta certifi-
rates at this time affords a means of
advance installment payments on next
year's taxes. Although the precise
nature wa‘these (axeatwlil not .be de-
termined until the new revenue bill is
enacted. many corporations ‘alreadyi
have begun to set aside tax funds. and
these business interests are expected
to inveit. heavily in the, tax certiii-I
'catea. ' i
l
The omission of the usual Issue of
loan certificates, makes it seem prOb- .
able that only about $5,000.000 of;
these certificates will be issued in pre-
paration for the Fourth Liberty loan..
and that the amount of the loan will
not be much more than that.
. The tax certificates are. to be dated
August 20 and will be payable July 15.

pourlng of war taxes for the year.
