ALL BACHELORS PAY TOLLS.
Single Men are Made to Pay Hand
somely for Their Privileges In
Argentina.

One of the smaller states compos-
ing the Argentine Republic has no use
for bachelors. The law holds that a
man is manageable in Argentina
when he Is twenty. The exchequer
gives point TO the opinion by taxing
all bachelors between 2 and 30 SIS a
month. After 80 and up to 35 the tax
increases 100 per cent. Between 80
and so single blessedness costs $50 a
month. From hts fftieth to his sew
enty-fitfh year bachelor may follow
his own wild road by paying In $50
a month. After that comes relief
lhe vicious example Of an unmarried
man between 10 and 80 Is considered
TO- be neutralized by a payment OF
only $50 a year, and when the S0th
birthday is passed the treasury finally
ceases from worrying.
A widower Is given three years In
which to mourn and choose a success

have earned immunity. Here, one
