TAX ON BIRTHS.
WOMAN'S PROPOSAL. A "birth tax" was suggested by a woman member when the United Provinces Council took up the general discussion on the Budget at Lucknow.
Begum Aijaz Rasool, deputy-president, asked the Government to impose such a tax as the population was increasing at an "alarming" rate. She added that her proposal would prove a check on population and lead to social improvement.
