Editor Times:
Dear Sir-Having read several
of the letters in the Times explain
ing or attempting to explain "Why
is a bachelor" I wish to say
that the first and only letter so
far that has come to my notice
that purports to be touching upon
the real cause of the grave subject
under discussion is the one in yes
terday's Times, written by Mr.. A.
Brooks, in which he comes out
squarely and boldly and blames 1t
to economical conditions, in which
letter I most heartily concur.
Yours truly,

Do You Like Happy Healthy Children?
Then Vote for Park Playground Plan,
That Means Happy Healthy Children

Seven great Fairgrounds and If
the rest of the park board concur
with President Seymour eight in
all, is what the bond issue of
$214, 500 to be voted on for the
park board means.
The question is up to the people
to decide net Tuesday. Every in
dication is taht all the playground
features will carry. Here is what
the people will voc upon;
100000 for Fairgrounds.
Out of this three Fairgrounds
will be bought and established.
One on Mckinley Hill, one around
the old fair grounds and ore eth
er on Pacific avenue extension or
near the Glide rink on South
Eleventh street.
$4,000 for Wapato lake.
This proposition takes in $50
acres of land, beautiful park sit :
and with 1t will be combined a
playground.
$4,000 for Franklin lake.
This takes in $50 lots. 1t is
expected to combine Fairgrounds
with this park also and to fix
up the lake for swimming and
skating.
100000 for Lincoln park.
This is to buy the land adjacent
to the present park plot which is
admirable for ball grounds and
for Fairgrounds.
$4,000 is for land at the en-
trance of South park.
President Ceymour would like
this for Fairgrounds but other
members have notdecided on that
yet.
$4,000 for putin ga road and
picnic grounds up the gulch for
Puget park.
This will be the first step to-
ward converting the gulches into
Fairgrounds and picnic grounds.
$4,000 for clearing play
grounds and putting in a water
system at Point Defiance.
$4,000 for buying three lots
and clearing and improving Nc
Kinley park.
$4,000 for paying street as
sessments for Wright park.
1t can be seen therefore that
the bond issue next Tuesday is
nearly all coupled up with the
playground plans.
President eymour ranks as of
first Importance the Wapato lake
plan, second the Franklin lake
project, third the Lincoln park
playground plan, fourth the $40,-
600 for Fairgrounds to be locat-
ed later and then the other small
er amounts are of lesser consid-
Grafton.
From the temper OF the people
at present it is likely all of thu
bonds will be voted with posi-
bly, the exception of the street
paving around Wright park. and
possibly the Point Defiance and
Mckinley park improvement
plans.
The propositions will be voted
ON separately 80 the people can
vote for any one or for any num-
Der and yet not vote for the whole
thing If they do not wish to.
Practically all the civic and
philanthropic organizations of the
city have endorsed the movement,
and the playground cause prom
ises to get big boost which it de-
serves next Tuesday.

who owns the means whereby
I live owns me-"
That is the answer in part Of
fered by Times reader to the
bachelor question today. This
letter, signed G. t., deals with
the subject in an interesting man
ner, shows that the Writer has
done some deep thinking and mer-
its the attention of all Times
readers.
This letter and others, in which
readers of the Times express their
opinions, follow:
Tacoma, May "a, 1910.
To the Editor:
A great deal of interest has
been aroused by the question,
why is a bachelor" To my
mind, the various reasons given
have been very superficial. You
ask any number of unmarried
men of rs years or over why
they do not marry and in four
cases out of five they will ask
you in return how the devil can
they keep wife when they can
hardly keep themselves.
They have given you the rea.
son, reason based on economics
not sentiment. The primal in.
stinct to mate is just as strong
today as it ever was in the past,
but when man knows that he is
dependent on another for his
means of life, that If he marries
his dearest principles and opin-
ions may have to be sacrificed, in
order to hold his job, he is apt
to think twice before he pIunges
into matrimony, and helps to per-
petuate race of slaves in an al
ready glutted market.
I can see good many readers
sneer at the word Slaves" and
others deny Indignantly that they
or their children are such; but,
hold, great poet has said, ''Who
owns the means whereby 1 live,
owns me-" and I have only to
point to the great strikes which
are continually agitating the coun-
try, of the innumerable articles in
the daily press telling us of the
suffering of women and children
caused by such strikes; If the

STATE MAY SUFFER
 UNDER TAX RULING
Industrial Development May
 Be Seriously Hampered
NEW LAW IS SUGGESTED
Under Decision Regarding Tax on For eign Corporations Alabama May Become Undesirable Territory
 for New Concerns

Montgomery, April 19.--(Special)--As a result of. the recent decision of the United States supreme court, holding the Ala bama law levying a special tax on. for eign corporations to be in violation of the federal constitution, Alabama may be- come an undesirable territory for new corporations and the state, as a result, suffer in it's industrial development. un- de- the decision foreign corporations al ready in when the act was passed, with valuable property holdings acquired, can not be taxed under the state act, but it is quite likely that it may be made condition of entry for new corporations hence putting the new at disadvan- tage as compared with the old.
 It is plainly held that the tax is levy in proportion in excess of require ments of domestic organizations or the same class: also, that corporations hay ing come into the state and accumulated valuable holdings, cannot, at this day, be made to suffer discriminatory pur- den not a part of their contract or entry when they came into the state. It appears to Attorney General Garber at this time that the act may become 8 part of the provision upon which new organizations come in, hence, he will suggest to the legislature that a new statute be drawn, based on the provisions of the constltu- tion applying to all classes of corpora tions, making the burden exact on all, eliminating any discrimination.
 There is also the unfortunate feature of the situation that moneys paid under the discredited act without protest can not be recovered. There is no law, so far as the attorney general can discover under which the taxes thus paid can be returned, the only possible relief being by special act of the legislature. A great many have paid the tax and will be forced to either lose it or undertake to have It returned by special act of the lawmakers. In the meantime Attorney General Garber is making every effort to fully work out the various phases of the case, 80 that right and justice can be done to all and the money of the railroads now heid In Montgomery and Jefferson counties be re- turned, under the ruling of the United States court.
