In France it seems to have
worked 'hal way. The French took

have—tor purposa of national self

Thi announce: ; from Wash
ington t :.it ihe .e!c>i-'n exemp
tion lron\ tho income tax may be
reduced lrorn $3.0^0 to $2,000.
while that of thr> married man re
mains at ihe pr-suir.t figure of
$4,01"); is not iu tho least surpris
ing.
The first thiug tl:at the harriol
tong-resBicoal expcjt thinks of ia
coimcction with the problem of
getting more reevnue from some
where to rua the gJvernment is
of some source which is unpopular
enough with, a lot of people to
render the tax mora or less ac
ceptable. Heretofore he has al
most instinctively suggested that
the tax on beer and jvhiskey be
raised—the imposition of further
burdens en thoso articles commend
ing itself to many «3 an unusually
re luneratlve combination of reven
ue with reprobation.
Now, he lias pu* baclielojn In
the same class wit'i beer and whis
key as permanent and emergency
sources cf taxatii a. J\>r it Is a
fact that the bactoijr, while per
sonally perhaps 1'ko-i^ is an abataact
proposition not at all popular.
There seems to be a feeling: which
has found frequont expression lu
the demands of l-efirmeTs from time
to time for a special tax on bachel
ors, that nothln; that can be done
to him as a elates could be too se
vere a penalty for his Bhirking of
social responsibilities.
It may be that thU discrimina
tion of $2,000 in Liid matter of In
come tax exemption in favor of the
married man is ■ -n tho opening
wedge. The principle established,
there i> .10 telling "a >w far the dis
crimination will b.- carried. The
moral i.. of coursj tiiat those who
have been going cn tho theory
that It pays to bo a bachelor ore

with the official fact that thoy
must pay to bo baohelor.—Chi
