The preponderance Of unmarried
women in New Jersey has been made
the subject of investigation by Mr.. wei
Ter, who, as a member Of the legisla-
ture Of that state, has introduced, in
all seriousness, a bill laying an annual
tax Of 81 on all bachelors. In support
of his bill he has contributed to the
press some Of the results Of his re-
searches and his opinion as to the
causes. He finds one cause in the at
traction of the two great cities that
flank the state, which draw to them
the young men who form alliances
where they go and leave their sweet
hearts to anguish minated. He shows
that there are over 100, 900 more females
than males in the state, and about one
thirtieth of the voters are bachelors.
The old maids number some Is 900. But
New Jersey is not singular in this re-
spect. Long ago the excess of the gen
tier sex became a noticeable factor in
the sociology of massachusetts,, and the
lndlsposition of men to marry was
commented upon, although no measure
was proposed to coerce them into aban-
doning their state of single misery. In
Minnesota the condition is reversed,
and there is an excess of males The
census of 1895 gives the number Of
males as S41,75 and of females as
727, 281, the excess of the former being
114,474. 1t would seem as if. instead of
taxing bachelors into wedlock, a more
equalizing measure would be a bill to
promote the transfer Of New Jersey
spirsters to Minnesota
