Here’s One Who Laughs at the Notion Br ooklyn Blaze in Which Were in Panic, as Seen From Bridge Women By Taxing Unmarried Males. Man it Is Reaily Worth Having. j with the problem of a yearly bachelor assessment of $30. By Nicola Greeley-JSmith. SESSOR HENRY ALEXAN- A DER, of the town of Abse- con, N. J., has imposed a tax of $100 on every bachelor with- in his jurisdiction. Frank Hamill, a well-to-do bache- lor, was the first victim, and when he jokingly inquired if the addition- he a bachelor received the amazing reply: “That's exactly why it was put on your bill, Bachelors shouldn't kick-over—a~pattry when they escape the care and ex- pense of raising a family.” ) This is the latest and most radi- cal step in a movement for the tax- ation of bachelors which seems like- ly to become general. Since January last the legislatures of twelve States have. considered bills for the taxation of the unmarried. As a rule it is proposed that only men bachelors should be taxed, old maids beings usually exempted by the practically universal masculine _beliet that no woman is unmarried from choice. INJURING THE CAUSE OF MATRIMONY. IiMnois had a bill imposing a modest tax of $5 per annum on all un- married men under thirty, A Missourl Senator thought remaining a bache- lor after the age of twenty-five; should be worth $10 annually to the State, and introduced a measure embodying his idea. lowa Jegislators wrestled Massachusetts was iconsidered a scale, graduated according to the age of the delinquent, trom $5 to $20 until he reached the age of forty, wher he was to be quietly chloroformed. In Indiana {t was proposed to fine bachelors from $2.60 to $5, according to age. The legislatures of Texas, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Nebraska in turn agitated this momentous question, and though the lobbies quickly organized by the panic-stricken bachelors succeeded {n defeatirg the measures for the time being, the gen- eral discussion of the question tooks ominous for the unmarried who wish to remain 60. Jt seems to me, however, that the proposed tax {s not only unjust to the bachelors, but injurious to-the very cause of matrimony it !s intended to promote. 7 MEN CLING TO WHAT THEY MUST PAY FOR, Men cling to what they have to pay for. A volurtary bachelor ts gen- erally” quite convinced that-his -estate.-offreedom=ts-much’ the “happiest on earth. Why add to his conviction by making it costly? I think far more bachelors would marry {f they had to pay a fine for marrying after @ certain age than would take wives to escape a bachelor tax. Moreover, the measure would provide one more frivolous motive for marriage, ‘and so promote divorce A man might arrange & marriage for the meré purpose of escaping the | bachelor tax, or even Swear it off fraudulently. The Professional bondsman would develop a feminine prototype, the professional bride, who would lead the bachelor wishing to swear off the bachelor tax to the altar and then leave him in undisturbed freedom till the assessor came around next year. ‘ WOMEN WHO REMAIN SINGLE FROM CuyorcR If, however, there 1s a bachelor tax, itis only fer that it should fall alike on unmarried men and women. There are really some men who are not married because they have no opportunity to be go, There are, Incredible as men may deem it, ome women who prefer to remain unmar. ried. If the purpose 4s to {mpose marriage as a duty on every one, It ts unfair that the bachelor-In-spite-of-himself should be fined and the old. maids-in-spite-of-men ‘should pay nothing for their freedom. ‘The great class of unmarried professional Women will not Permit the stigma of belng Unwilling spinsters tobe put upon them by exemption from taxation. ‘As one of them, I stand willing to pay a bachelor tax In any possible amount, with the profound belief that I would be getting my money's worth. the patient falled to rally to hee and. every minute showed treatment and more and more strongly that the gen; eral debility with which It had beer threatened for a long time had at last fot it hani and fast in its deadly grip.
