Within the past dozen years, says
the New Orleans Picayune, many mil
lions of American wealth have been
carried out of the country in the form
of dowreies to American girls who
married titled foreigners. The price Of
such a title ranges all the way from
81 ,ooo, 900 to s5,OOo.OOo, and by such
marriages hundreds Of millions OF
wealth have been sent abroad. There
has been introduced in the New York
General Assembly a bill levying a tax
on dowers of all females in that state
who shall marry foreign noblemen. or
whose dowry is paid out Of the revenues
of property in the state. The tax is to
be 25 per cent of the total amount of
the dot" and the revenues thus Sc
cured are to be devoted to the found
ing of manual training schools for
young women throughout the state and
for the building and maintenance Of
homes for the aged and destitute. The
tax is to be collected in a manner SINH
lar to that in which the inheritance
taxes are received by the state The
tax or. a million-dollar dowry will be
$3.50 900, and on a five-million dowry
s1.250.OOO. Should this bill become q
law. 1t will infiict hardship, on the
foreign princes and potentates who
come to this country to replenish their
exchequers. Such a law should b
passed In every state In the union.
