bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder must
include in his income tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the
difference between the price paid for the bills, whether on original
issue or on subsequent purchase, and the amount actually received
either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year
for which the return is made.
