THE DOCTRINE OF MALTHUS.

It was but natural that a sensation grew out of the New York college professors proposal to compel mar ried men to pay to the state heavier tax than bachelors. The argument had always been the other way round. But bringing to life the old "Malthusian theory" that population tends to increase faster than the means of support, the professor would discourage any attempt to further the doctrines of one Theodore Roosevelt,
 sometime President of the United States and always the enemy of race
 suicide. The professor struck the
 true chord when he admitted his
 views to be of no particular import ance because people would not take
 them seriously, or allow such sys-
 tenn of taxation as he proposed to be
 put in working order. And, as the
 people would never allow married
 men to be taxed any heavier than
 their brother bachelors, so they would
 never allow the poor unfortunates
 who remain single to bear greater burden of taxation than those who seek connubial bliss. As a matter of fact, the professor need advocate no such radical doctrine inasmuch as the present day economic situation is talk ing care of the marriage mart. Men of today are not prone to marry as readily as did their ancestors. Be- cause of the so-called high cost of living the young men of 1915 always stop. look and listen," before enter ing the sacred state of matrimony. The old theory of two living cheaper than one has been badly shattered l during the last ten or twelve years. | Knowing all this, the state has no | right to make the burden of the mar
 ried men any heavier by taxing them
 more than those who lead lives of
 single blessedness. Neither should | the state tax bachelors. For mar
 riage is always determined by the in- | should ever compel men to marry, or | prevent them from marrying. Men
 are married because they have SC chosen. Likewise men are bachelors
 because of their own actions. Men marry for happiness. When they
 are not sure of attaining that happi-
 ness they remain unmarried, thus leading themselves to believe they are l enjoying a certain amount of joy,-
 freedom. To make any of these peo-
 pie change their mode of living 1 would be to force unhappiness upon the scene, and when that condition l prevails the state has plotted agains, itself There are always many l methods by which. to provide revenue
 for the state without putting a pre-.
 mium either on matrimony ol
 bachelorhood. Therein the doctrine l of Malthus fails.
