TAXES ON BACHELORS

A IT some period of its history the legislation
~ OF almost all countries has imposed penal
ties on unmarried men, or bachelors, on
the principle that every citizen IS bound to
rear children to the State. The Hebrews re
garded marriage as a duty, and interpreted
strictly the command, " BE fruitful and multi
ply" BY the laws Of Lycurgus criminal pro-
ceedings were authorized IN Sparta not only
against those who did not marry but also
against those who married 50 late IN life as to
render the procrcation Of healthy children UNI
likely. The laws Of Scion also treated celibacy
crime.
From an early period penalties and dis
abilities were imposed on unmarried men and
%omen IN Rome; and by the laws called Lex
tMid ct PaPt0 PapPGa" no unmarried person
could take 4 legacy whether a portion or a
"hole OF the possessions Of the dead per-
SON. unless he got married within a prescribed
time IRON the testator's death Childless mar
ned persons, from the ages Of twenty-five to
SIXTY IN males, and twenty TO fifty in females,
according to one Of the provisions OF this law,
forfeited one-half OF any inheritance or legacy
Whlch might he bequeathed TO them The
Roman censors also frequently imposed fines
on unmarried men, and men Of full age were
obliged to marry
There are numerous instances of additional
or higher taxes being imposed on bachelors
and splnsters IN Great Britain, but probably
more with view to the revenue than with any

lifeless that nobody was surprised when in the
spring he took to his bed.
It's his wife and child he's pining for" said
Doctor Pogue, not this woman and her boy.
But he may live for years.
He lived, however. only month or two, and
then fell into deep sleep from which he did
not awake.
"A very unusual case" the old doctor said
to my father not needing the open cared child
beside him. " Probably obscure liver trouble.
But the strangest point in the matter IS that
there were two small red spots an inch or two
apart on his arm, Just such as we found on the
childs, You remember
There was some dcsultOrV talk of an autopsy;
but nothing was done. The old man was
buried beside his wife and child.
After his death for no expressed reason,
Mrs. Hume fell into disfavor i'll the village.
There was a shadow on her to which nobody
gave a name When it was found that the
property to which her boy was now heir had
been wasted by the old doctor, until only a
pittance remained, | am afraid there was gen
eral satisfaction.
If | were writing fiction, 1t would be easy
just here 10 make end to this story, bristling
with a moral. But ! am only repeating facts,
and in facts the moral IS not always clear.
Near the village was large plantation be
longing 70 EinCent-a member of the family
that have held the place in the history Of this
country which the Casa OrsInI did IN Rome, or
the Strozzi in Florence. Vincent was about
thirty years old. He was deformed, unable TO
walk, and had been an ep1eptlc from ms blrth
The few men who knew him declared that he
was still gentle lovable boy, who never would
grow older He had a large income in his own
right.
Rumors presently reached the village that
he was employing Mrs Hume as secretary
After time 1t was whispered that she had
gained absolute control over him. In few
weeks she moved out TO the plantation with
her boy James, who was then about seven
years old. James would be known now to
scientific folk as a degenerate; but our
orthodox community We're satisfied to pro-

other object. Thus, from zoos to 1906 a tax
was laid upon bachelors twenty-five years of
age varying from sixty-fVe dollars for a Duke
to twenty-five cents for a common person.
Bachelors (ROmanst priests eXCepted) were
subjected TO an extra tax on their male and
female servants in 1855
Although much has been written in modern
times in earnest and III fun on the taxation of
bachelors, there are not many corners of the
earth where such a system of taxation IS in
PRODUCED as was done in the State of Cordoba
in the Argentine Republic, at the beginning of
the twentieth century. There every male
who has passed his twentieth year IS con
sdered fit for marriage, and the State en-
JOINS upon him the duty of finding a com
panion for life and thus help to increase the
population.
If he remains single till the completion of mis-
thrtieth year, he must pay for his freedom a
tax OF five dollars a month Then the tax in
creases to ten dollars a month till the age
of thirty-fve and even to thirty dollars fro n
the age Of thirty-hve to fifty From the age
of sixty the tax decreases to twenty dollars.
Between sixty and seventy the bachelor Of
Cordoba has to pay ten dollars a month, after
seventy only nine dollars annually, and not
before reaching his eightieth year is he en-
trely exempt from taxation. Widowers have
only three years gwen to enjoy their liberty,
after which they have to get another wife or
pay the tax.

During the sPrlng. news came IN II, from time
to time that Vincent was steadily growing
weaker. Mrs. Hume was nursing him faith
fully. One evening IN Iunc She sent an urgent
summons for Doctor Poguc and the Episcopal
minister to come 10 the plantation. Father
Morse was probably the smallest and mccke't
rences of that night ever came from him; but
the old doctor saw no reason for silence.
He stated that they found Vincent uncon-
scious. Mrs. Hume was kneeling on the bed
holding his head IN her arms. The boy face

man said When | took his hand, the woman

take no part in such a crime He laid Vincent
down on the pillow, and, turning To her,
mutioned her to the door. And She went.
She staggered out without word. In a few
minutes the poor boy was gonc-where She
never will find him"
Mrs. Hume disappeared that night. Neither
she ncr James was seen in the village again. 1t
was reported that she had gone TO New Orleans,
and TO the North, but nobody ever really knew
what became of her. 1t was easy to be lost
then. She may be living yet.
For years there was much gossip about her,
and many theories were preached 1t was said
that she had the evil eye, that She a
Voodoo, that she a Vampire, while a large
unimaginatve party held her secret to be only
the taint Of blood-nOt Caucasian. But the
mystery was never solved, and | give it to You
