Kansas Is Fighting
s'Spinster" Tax Law

Topeka, Kan.-The state Of Kansas
puts tax on widows, spinsters and
bachelors, and the widows and spin
STEERS want it removed. Several efforts
heretofore made to remove this tax
have been blocked because they would
also remove the tax on bachelors, and
this the state does not want to do.
Under the constitution the man at the
head Of family receives a tax rebate
on 5000 every year. The bachelor,
the spinster and the widow do not re-
ceive this rebate.
A woman and her husband, with
two children and 5000 worth of per-
sonal property and other securities,
may 90 along for years exempt from
taxation. When the husband dies the
widow must Immediately begin paying
taxes.
An old maid school teacher, by
working hard and skimping, managed
to support her three brothers and sis
tiers on $50 a month, but she has to
pay taxes on every penny's worth OF
furniture she possesses. Across the
street lives q widower with three chill
dren and almost a duplication Of the
spinster's personal property, but un-
der the Kansas law he is exempt from
taxation because he is the head Of
the family"
