Taxing Bachelors and Spinsters.
No., vorI> Droe~
New York Press

Our esteemed contemporary, the Spring
field Union, comes forward with a counter
proposition that sDinsters with an income
of their own shall also be taxed. This
would, indeed, be the eliminating atroci-
ty of class legislation" Why merely spin
sters with an income of their own? Why
not tax all unmarried women alike? There
are numbers of women with no resources
of their own except their brains and hands
who now support their husbands. If the
object is to beguile bachelors into matri-
mony why narrow their opportunities?
While the country is engaged in relieving
the people of vicious, illogical and in
equitable" taxation let us make the re
form thorough. Ii We are to try any form
of taxation lunacy why not try them all?

The action of the County Commissioners

members of the KoesterS family is alto
