RELIEF FOR, THE HEADS OF FAMILIES 'IN: GERMANY,"

-The German Emperor's referance mada în a speech delivered some time ago to "dunir ability of imposing a tax on bachelors, turns out to have been something more taka's joke,

During the forthcoming sassion of the Prus ian Dist, say advices from Berlin, of October 8, the Government will propose a modification of Income-tax in favour of married men with children, which will differentiate taxation in such a way as to impose a greater burden on bachelors and also on married men without

children than on the heads of families.

It will be proposed that all those paring Income-tax on jacomes not exceeding 400 shall be entitled to deduct £4 for every child. A differentiation in favour of married men with children strendy exists in Prussia, so that the new law will merely bring, about an extension of the present system.
