The news from other Territories is
little more cheering than that of
the DakOtas. We have a member of
the Wyoming Legislature in town.
His name is Martin Hopkins. He
is a staunch supporter of the Wyo-
ming Bachelors Taxation bill. He
has expressed himself freely on the
question. He says the new bill i'm
poses an annual tax OF $3.50 on I'M
married men over IS years. But let
him speak for himself. Here is
what he said to a Chicago newspa-
per reporter yesterday at the Grand
Pacific Hotel:
"The Quebec Legislature has pro-
vided that every head of family Of
twelve children shall receive from the
government 100 acres OF land, while
the French Chamber Of Deputies has
directed the minister Of the Interior 10 Z
investigate the subject Of compulsory /
marriage.
"Our bill, you see, is only the re-
vival Of an old idea. Bachelors Were /
subject to a special tax under the old .
Roman law, as they were in England 4
as late as the time of William III. /
Frederick the Great limited the
mourning period for widowers 10 three
months. At present the petitioner Of
France is urging that a certain age for
marrying be fixed by the government.

punished.
''After our bill has passed we ex-
pect an influx Of young women. To-
day Wyoming is the best hunting
