Taxation.
MARRIAGES FALL OFF.
("Times" Cables.) (Received 10 a.m.)
LONDON, November 12.
The Rome correspondent of the "Times" states that in connection witii the bill for doubling the tax on bachelors now before the Senate, Mussolini complains that even in Italy the number of marriages is diminishing in spit.? of the Government's various social and moral inducements to marriage. He says he does not expect the new bill to make bachelors terminate their state of isolation, but it will at least make them financially assist the Government's social policy. Only those unfitted for marriage, the permanently unable to work and the inmates of poorhouses and hospitals will be exempted from tax.
