BACHELOR TAX
FINDS WOMEN
OPPOSED

Government regulation of ro-
nance through a proposed bach
elor tax does not find favor with
the women members of the House
Of Representatives, all of whom
are widows.
Mrs. Florence Kahn (R) of
California, dean of the Yomen's
bloc, expressed herself freely and
forcibly. She said:
'1t seems to me that such a
tax is a little too personal. Why
have the government regulate
matters of this sort? Haven't
we enough regulation of per-
SOnal habits and predictions
In the 18th amendment and the
vOIStead law? certainly would
be opposed to such a sugges-
tiOn."
Many bachelors have heavy
obligations of which the world
generally is ignorant, Mrs. Eff
fiegene Wingo CD of Arkansas
pointed out. She cited the case
of one of her bachelor colleagues
who has educated half a dozen
nieces and nephews. She added:
Gas a means of raising reve-
nue. 1 would want to study
census figures and the whole
question before committing my
self. / understand some ma
tiOnS have experimental with
. tax Of this sort, and that
we had such q tax in q west
ern state. / do not know Ow
the tax worked as a producer
Of revenue"
Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers (R)
Of Massachusetts,, like Mrs.
Wingo. said many bachelors dis
charge obligations to relatives,
and that it would be unfair to
tax them, therefore, as a class.
She added:
eff such a tax is imposed,
wouldn't it be just as fair to
put a similar tax on single
women who receive salaries?"
Mrs. Ruth Pratt (RO of New
York lodged answering the ques-
ton.
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen CD,
daughter of the famous Com
moner," is in Florida.
Mrs. Mary T. Norton CD of
New Jersey likewise has been un-
available.

WHAT is A FRIEND?

What is a friend? We will tell
you. 1t is a person with whom you
dare to be yourself. Your soul can
go naked with him. He seems to ask
of you to put on nothing, only to be
what you are. He does not want
you to be better or worse. When you
are with him you feel as a prisoner
feels who has been declared innocent.
You do not have to be on your guard.
You can say what you think, SO long
as it is genuinely you.
He understands those contradic-
tions in your nature that lead others
to misjudge you. With him you
breathe free. You can take off your
coat and loosen your collar. You can
abuse him, neglect him, tolearate
him. Best of all, you can keep still
with him. 1t does not matter. He
likes you. He is like fire that puri-
fes all you do. He is like water, that
cleanses all you say. He Is like wine,
that warns you to the bone. He un-
derstands, he understands. You car
weep with him, laugh with him, sir
with him, pray with him. Through
and underneath it all he sees, knows
and loves you.
A friend, we repeat, is one witt
whom you dare to be yourself.

DOES YOURS?

Why sure, our union runs itself.
There's not much work to do;
The bylaws they take care Of that.
Why worry me and you?
The officers they sit around
Arranging plans and such,
And really, all that they do
Does not amount to much
The entertainment jobs a joke,
1t makes fellow grin;
The talent that we hear each night,
Why they just happen in.
And all the secretary does
Is to see the dues are paid
And keep our members up to date,
A cinch, if ever one was made.
Why sure, our union runs itself
'Tis the best that ever was.
You think so? But just try it once
And you will say, "The h-ll il
does!"
