Judge Rice is so well known in

Judge Rice is a man of splen-
did intellect with fine sense of

dispense justice tempered with
mercy to friend and foe alike.

TAX ON BACHELORS

There should be tax on bach
elors, not with view of forcing
them to marry, but for the good
and sufficient reason that from a
financial standpoint they Can pay
the tax very easily. When prop
erly considered, it is apparent
that he is not bearing his just
proportion of the common bur-
den. The average family is five
persons. The married man, at
this rate, finds himself burdened
with four others than himself.
His bachelor friend, working in
the same house, at the same
bench, with the same tools, or in
the same professional business, is
concerned only for himself. The
married man carries five times
the burden. He should have re-
lief in some way. Exemption
from taxation to a small extent,
has always been given him. Make
the bachelor contribute to the
general tax fund, not because he
is unmarried, but because he can
better afford the tax.
1t would be folly to tax a man
with a view of forcing him to
marry.
One who advocates a measure
of this kind is in danger of being
called a freak. a crank. We sub
NIT the question, believing that
an intelligent discussion of il will
do no harm; also believing that
some of our "baches" will be its
advocates.
How do you stand on this, Mr..
Clay and Mr.. Miller? Is mum
