This is not being submitted for the purpose of cynical debate, but potentially
as useful to the entire group.

Please pay attention to the last sentence.

is taxed.

The notes, debentures, and bonds issued by any bank, with unearned coupons attached,
shall be accepted at par [parity, 1 to 1 value]
by such bank in payment of or as a credit against the obligation of any home-owner debtor of such bank."

Hey Jerry!

A couple of things jump at me:

- definition of word `State' as used in the act?
- since national sovereigns are already exempt from state and federal taxation, who is the intended audience of this act?
- definition of "coupons" in final sentence?
- definition of ``un-earned coupons'' as comppound word?

I hope my italics are visible, if not lemme know, i'll adjust.
