Assemblyman Lloyd has his mar.
riage license bill up again to tax
cupid for entering upon the marriage
state which is the natural relation de.
signed by our Creator. The only bene-
fit will be to give officers more fees. 1t
Is our opinion that the world is corrupt
ed more by those who failed to enter
the marriage relations, found Il home
and family, than by ill-mated married
couples. Better tax those for not mar
rying. Thousands Of men who spend
their money in dissipation and pleasure
should make homes for the thousands
OF women who are filling the positions
OF men in business and commercial life.
1t is the greatest social problem of the
age.
