A TAX ON BACHELORS.

One Of the favorite themes of sociology
cal reformers and advocates Of anti-race
suicide measures is the taxation of cell
bacy. Formerly one spoke of the taxation
of bachelors. but with the advent of equal
ity Of the sexes we must begin to consider
any dealing with bachelors as affecting
both male and female bachelors.
This matter was long a joke, but Uncle
Samuel who is one of the most practical
humorists in the world has instituted a
tax on bachelorhood or spinster-
hood. In laying the new income
officially with the advent Of the new year,
the United States has put a very definite
tax on bachelors, regardless Of the sex
Of the same.
If you are unmarried and earn more
than 81, 900 year you must report for tax
alton. If you are married, however. you
do not begin to report for the federal in
come tax until you earn more than 5000.
In other words the difference is the PEN
atty you pay for the offence Of remaining
a bachelor In either event, however, you
must not fail to file your report to Uncle
Sam before March 1. or you will be in
hotter water than anything afforded by
either celibacy or matrimony.

boro for many years, has recently COM
piled a list Of admirals born in Vermont.
Admiral George Dewey, born in Mont

Spanish-American War in record time and
had his vessel stripped for action on ar
