WAR BONUS
FOR BABIES.

AN OLD contrast is to be found
in the birth.ratc problems of America
and Germany, as shown in the utter
ance of an American college profes.
sor and a war dispatch from Berlin.
The American professor suggests
that married people should be taxed
more heavily than single people, for
the sake of discouraging matrimony
and limiting what he considers III
too prolific birth rate.
The German government, according
to this dispatch, Is contemplating
tightening the taxes of married citiz.
ems. encouraging matrimony In every
possible way and paying n bonus for
children. for the sake of making good
the enormous wastage of the war.
II Is likely that the legal age for
marriage will be reduced and all
troublesome legal or bureaucratic oh,
stacles to easy marriage will be re.
moved. a certain amount of financial
help may be given by the state to
those who feel unable to marry with.

ing for them. and there will be special
premiums for large families. Along
with these positive Inducements TO ill
the gaps in Germany's population,
there will be heavy tares laid on
bachelors and spinsters. and childless
couples will be taxed or Disseminated
against.
AND what is the real object of all
this effort on the part of the German
government? The authorities are
frank enough about it. They don't
assert that large families are neces-
sarily Il good thing in themselves,
and that in aiming &c maintain Il high
birth rate they are conscientiously CO.
operating with Providence. The admit
the blunt truth-they want more sold
iers.
And apparently it's up to the moth
ers of Germany, after sending millions
OF men TO the trenches 10 be blown
to bits or come back crippled for
life, to bear millions more for the can
n~on-fodder of the mex generation.
If that's what babies are for, the
American professor is right about it
there ought to be a prohibitive tax
on them. But as a matter of fact, it
isn't what babies are for. And it's
likely that when the mothers OF men
have political power they'll see thai
their babies are put to better use.
