vw MAN w 66 SPD our friend, Izzy Cohn, | has introduced @ bill in Albany to tax bachelors) and spinsters,” said the Cigar-Store Man. “If it goes through,” replied the Man Higher Up, “it will be a sad af- fair. I wouldn't take the job of as- sessing the bachelors and old maids of this town for $100 a minute and the ewear-off-the-tax privilege on the’ side. Not for mine. Rather for me! to follow the horses in the Street- Cleaning Department or go out to sea in scows and defile the ocean. “Ot course, a tax on bachelors mvould be @ good thing. With flat rents so cheap there is no excuse for anybody not being a married man © Nevertheless, the bachelor apartment crowding out the home and the unmarried man fs prevailing to an alarm- extent. Unless something is done to head off the people who think mat- ny is the water jump in the course of life and who insist upon running in the field as they approach ft, we'll have to turn our school-houses nto select apartments for bachelors within the next twenty-five years. “In New York everybody caters to the bachelor. He can have a home by his lonesome with every convenience at hand, if he has the mazuma pay for it. When he gets his bankroll from the cashier's office at the of the week he don’t have any female to split it up with—she taking the @ peroentage of the split. All he has to do is to pay his rent and keep valet staked to be as happy as any man can be without worry. WORLDS == TAXING BACHELORS ALL RIGHT, BUT HOW ABOUT THE OLD MAIDS? cy Ww HIGHER w UP. a3 s00n get married as not, even if he had to consider the project of living all the rest of ‘his life in Brooklyn or New Jersey. But a calculating gazoo- lker looks ahead. He makes a men- tal frame-up of e bunch of kids and sees all kinds of red and green signals on the matrimonial block. Unmar- ried men in New York City are get- ting selfish. How it is up State I don’t know. “The proposition {s to tax bachelors between the ages of forty and sixty- five, providing they are able-bodied $50 a year. This is a bad proposi- tion. When a man gets beyond forty and ‘has never married, it would take either an angel or.the opposite to pull him up to putting his signature on the wedding register. And when you land up a bachelor over fifty it is a 10-to-1 shot that he ts not amenable to the provisions of the Jaw. “A tax on bachelors aged from twenty to thirty-five might reault in a boom in the marriage business, Young men at that age are likely to fall to anything that comes along in the way of a petticoat if it should happen to cost. them money to be shy. “It bachelors were compelled to herd by themselves there wouldn't be so many bachelors. The trouble is that they are invited out by their mar- ried friends, and a) they hear is how much {t costs to keep house. Language like the average married man and his wife pour out to a bachelor about the high price of coal and food is enough to frappe the hottest case of matri- “Where there were ten apartment-houses for ‘bachelors in New York years ago there are hundreds now. The percentage of marriages in the fon holds up, but the reason is that most of those who get married too poor to do anything else or too rich to have it make any différence. © great middle class is not marrying, and from whet I know of the situa- the majority of the present day bachelors would willingly pay the tax) put themselves in the martyr class. len you come to figure it out this thing of getting married fs not a 1@ to go it blind in these days. If a man falls in love for fair he woul montal ambition that ever caught on fire. “For spinsters they fix the tax at $25 per annum for those between thir- ty-five and fifty. If they ere the support of a family the tax is to be called be ely never collect a cent of that tax. In the first place no spinster fa admét that she was over thirty-five years old, and if they proved it on her she would swear that she was the support of a family. You can't make spinsters marry by taxing them.” “How can spinsters be made to marry?” asked the Cigar-Store Man. “A great deal depends on the man,” responded the Man Higher Up.
