PUTTING A TAX ON MARRIAGE-

17

WHERE THE LAW IS A MENACE.

[BY DR. MARIE CARMICHAEL STOPES, D.80.

PR., F.L.S.]

The danger of allowing the majority to make the laws is that the majority veryih seldom really knows what it is doing,"

A case in point in the present tax on

marriage, which we have endured for some long time and which it is preposed by the Royal Commission on Income-tax shall, bo continned:

Does the public understand that we Eng- lish men and women to-day live in a coun try which taxes the legal bond of marri ap Does the public know that our laws thus encourage vice and discourage mar riage?

PUNISHING MORALITY,

We founded a Ministry of Henish in the hope of eliminating the diseases caused by vice, and we have societies and Govern- ment officials eager to increase the birth- rate among those likely to farm worthy parents Yet to-day (and in the future, if the recommendations of the majority of the Income tax Commissioners are accepted by the country), ami "whose wife has a little money" of her own pays more for living with her than he would do were he to remain married and live with any other's man wife 1.

A woman pays for the privilege (1) of having legally tied, bernelf as a wife to -s-man who may dumang hur, lezve ter not only impoverished by anything he may have taken from her as an individual,, but i mulcted by the Income-tax revenue officers Pat a bigber rate than if she had been un- arried. The total amount thus taken Prom married people by the marriage sax is estimated in the commissioners' report to be over twenty million pounds annually.

FIGHTING FOR REFORM.

Some years ago I took an active interest in this subject, and fought for and obtain. ed a separate assessment and rebate as n wife, but during the sittings of the com- mission on Income-tax I was too l to take any active steps. Like other thoughful Lindividuals, I hoped that the report of the commissioners would press for the remis

on of the direct tax on marriage, as a most urgent social reform

Quite recently the report of the com missioners appeared, and Eugland is now confronted with the amazing spectacle of LH the commissioners on one side advocati ing the fontiùuance of the marriage tax, with only one woman and one man com- missioner on the other urging the remis sion.of.it.l

I feel it' immediately necessary to take active steps to inform public opinion of what this entails and to unite in a league those who have any true regard for the sanctity of marriage and for the best in- terests of the race..

ONLY BOLUTION.

Nothing will be satisfactory but the separate sesantent of every individual man and woman, Why should three |sisters or a mother and two song living in, the same house get off,scat free of tax when an income of £405 is shared between them, while man, wife, and child with the same shared income pay a tnx? Where chị,dren Jure bora, the State should encourage parents by making, a definite children's fallowance, to both the father and the mother if the child is healthy. Each parent bears a loss and a financial burden for every child, and unless this is to some degree mitigated by the community; the State, will find an ever-increasing restric tion of the numbers born to the more thrifty parents.

But the first business of a moral country basing its social life on Christian marriage is to stop direct marriage tax. I know of in dividuals to-day who are living in life-long union, but without the legal tie of marriage, because of the unfair hold upon them which the law claims the moment they are mar ried

Does the public approve of laws which are an incitement immorality? And does the public intend to allow our legislators to go on passing them-Daily Express
