BACHELOR TAX.

CATHOLIC FEDERATION'S VIEW.

At a meeting of the State council of the Australian Catholic Federation, held on Wednesday, the following resolution was passed:-

"That the Australian Catholic Federation re- cords its emphatic protest against the Common- wealth Bachelor Tax, in so far as the same applies to Catholic priests and religious, because   the tax, in their case, is distinctly a penal im- position, in that it taxes individuals who, owing to their vow of celibacy imposed by their Catholic religious principles, are made inescapable suffer-

ers from the tax."
